Management Discussion

Timothy Damadian, president and CEO of FONAR, said, "The total second-quarter scan volume in Fiscal 2025 at HMCA-managed MRI centers was 53,114, slightly more (0.11%) than that of the previous quarter (53,054), and 1,868 more (3.65%) than that of the second-quarter of 2024 (51,246). The first-half scan volume in Fiscal 2025 was 106,168, or 4.1% higher than that of the first-half of Fiscal 2024 (101,990)."

"Scan volume for the balance of Fiscal 2025 looks promising. A major reason is the highly anticipated addition of high-field MRIs at two existing HMCA-managed scanning centers in Nassau County, New York. Once installed, these facilities will be offering physicians and patients both a STAND-UP® MRI and a high-field MRI. These scanners complement one another perfectly and, between the two of them, will readily accommodate an exceptionally broad range of MRI needs and eliminate excessive appointment backlogs."

"The STAND-UP® MRI, in addition to being the most "Non-Claustrophobic MRI," offers unique diagnostic advances. It's the only MRI that can scan patients in weight-bearing positions, including sitting and standing. It's also the only MRI that can scan the cervical and lumbar spines in flexion and extension. These unique features can reveal pathology that would be underestimated or missed entirely on any other type of MRI scanner. In addition, the high-field MRIs provide high-resolution imaging, speed, and advanced diagnostic protocols. HMCA currently manages ten facilities that have both the STAND-UP® MRI and a high-field MRI, providing patients and physicians with the best of MRI worlds."

"As always, we continue to seek to establish new locations or to acquire centers that will enhance our existing networks and increase their profitability. Currently, we manage 43 MRI scanners, 25 in New York and 18 in Florida."

"I would also like to report that pursuant to our September 13, 2022 announcement of a FONAR stock repurchase plan of up to $9 million, the Company has, as of December 31, 2024, repurchased 343,485 shares at a cost of $5,607,486. FONAR is limited by the manner, timing, price, and volume restrictions of its share repurchases as prescribed in the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18."

Mr. Damadian concluded, "I remain grateful for our management team and all the FONAR and HMCA employees whose hard work and commitment continue to make the Company successful."

Fonar Legacy

On April 25, 2001, Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., was awarded one of America's highest honors - the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award - for his important contributions to the field of magnetic resonance imaging for medical diagnostics.

The Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award is conferred annually by the Lemelson-MIT Program. Dr. Damadian was formally presented with a trophy for the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award on Wednesday, April 25, 2001, at a special ceremony at the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C. The award is currently on display at the Raymond V. Damadian Museum, at FONAR Headquarters, Melville, NY. Visitors are welcome to visit the museum at FONAR headquarters by appointment.

In acknowledging his myriad of achievements, the event's program stated, "Through his tenacity and willingness to defy conventional thought, Raymond Damadian changed the face of diagnostic medicine through his revolutionary application of nuclear magnetic resonance. This independent inventor designed and built the first full-body human magnetic resonance scanner, which he would later name 'Indomitable' in tribute to the seven arduous years in which he and his assistants toiled to invent the device."

It went on to say, "Dr. Damadian's original patent, granted in 1974, which led to the creation of 'Indomitable' and, later, all commercial MRI scanners, was given "pioneer patent" status. This status is given only to groundbreaking innovations that are separately recognized by U.S. courts because they set the foundation for new industries to occur."

The Lemelson Foundation was founded by Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson in 1992.

About FONAR

FONAR, The Inventor of MR Scanning™, located in Melville, NY, was incorporated in 1978, and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI Company in the industry. FONAR went public in 1981 (Nasdaq:FONR). FONAR sold the world's first commercial MRI to Ronald J. Ross, MD, Cleveland, Ohio. It was installed in 1980. Dr. Ross and his team began the world's first clinical MRI trials in January 1981. The results were reported in the June 1981 edition of Radiology/Nuclear Medicine Magazine. The technique used for obtaining T1 and T2 values was the FONAR technique (Field fOcused Nuclear mAgnetic Resonance), not the back projection technique. www.fonar.com/innovations-timeline.html.

FONAR's signature product is the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (also known as the STAND-UP® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position™ Imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e., standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI often detects patient problems that other MRI scanners cannot because they are lie-down, "weightless-only" scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero patient claustrophobic rejection rate. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while watching TV.

FONAR has new works-in-progress technology for visualizing and quantifying the cerebral hydraulics of the central nervous system, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which circulates throughout the brain and vertebral column at the rate of 32 quarts per day. This imaging and quantifying of the dynamics of this vital life-sustaining physiology of the body's neurologic system has been made possible first by FONAR's introduction of the MRI and now by this latest works-in-progress method for quantifying CSF in all the normal positions of the body, particularly in its upright flow against gravity. Patients with whiplash or other neck injuries are among those who will benefit from this new understanding.

FONAR's primary source of income and growth is attributable to its wholly owned diagnostic imaging management subsidiary, Health Management Company of America (HMCA) www.hmca.com.

FONAR's substantial list of patents includes recent patents for its technology enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging of all the gravity sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities and spine. It includes its newest technology for measuring the Upright cerebral hydraulics of CSF in the central nervous system. FONAR's UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the only scanner licensed under these patents.

UPRIGHT®, and STAND-UP® are registered trademarks. The Inventor of MR Scanning™, CSP™, MultiPosition™, UPRIGHT RADIOLOGY™, pMRI™, CFS Videography™, Dynamic™ and The Proof is in the Picture™, are trademarks of Fonar Corporation.
