PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL Fonar Corporation, sometimes referred to as the "Company" or "Fonar", is a Delaware corporation which was incorporated on July 17, 1978. Our address is 110 Marcus Drive, Melville, New York 11747 and our telephone number is 631-694- 2929. Fonar also maintains a WEB site at www.Fonar.com. FONAR is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling and servicing magnetic resonance imaging, also referred to as "MRI" or "MR", scanners which utilize MRI technology for the detection and diagnosis of human disease. Fonar's founders built the first scanner in 1977 and FONAR introduced the first commercial MRI scanner in 1980. FONAR is the originator of the iron- core non-superconductive and permanent magnet technology. Fonar's iron frame technology made FONAR the originator of "open" MRI scanners. We introduced the first "open" MRI in 1980. Since that time we have concentrated on further application of our "open" MRI, introducing most recently the Upright(TM) Multi-positional(TM) MRI scanner (also referred to as the "Upright(TM)" or "Stand-Up(TM)" MRI scanner) and the Fonar 360(TM) MRI scanner. The product we are now most vigorously promoting is our Stand- Up(TM)/Upright(TM) MRI. The Stand-Up(TM)/Upright(TM) MRI is unique in the industry in that it allows patients to be scanned in a fully weight-bearing condition, such as standing, sitting or bending in any position that causes symptoms. This means that an abnormality or injury, such as a slipped disk can be visualized where it may not be visualized with the patient lying down. We are introducing the name "Upright(TM)" as an alternative to "Stand-UP(TM)" because of the multiplicity of positions in which the patient may be scanned where the patient is not standing. Health Management Corporation of America, formerly U.S. Health Management Corporation, which we sometimes refer to as "HMCA", was formed by Fonar in March 1997 as a wholly-owned subsidiary in order to enable us to expand into the business of providing comprehensive management services to medical providers. HMCA provides management services, administrative services, office space, equipment, repair, maintenance service and clerical and other non- medical personnel to medical providers. Since July 28, 2005, following the sale of HMCA's physical therapy and rehabilitation business, HMCA has elected to provide its services solely to diagnostic imaging centers. See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for separate financial information respecting our medical equipment and physician and diagnostic management services segments. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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. These forward-looking statements 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. These assumptions 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 Annual Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in our forward-looking statements, 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. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OVERVIEW. Our products and works-in-progress are intended to significantly improve our competitive position. Our current products are the Upright(TM) MRI and the Fonar 360(TM). The Upright(TM) MRI permits, for the first time, MRI diagnoses to be made in the weight-bearing state. The Upright(TM) MRI is the only MRI scanner which allows patients to be scanned while standing, sitting or reclining, either horizontally or at an angle. This means that an abnormality or injury, such as a slipped disk, will be able to be scanned under full weight- bearing conditions and, more often than not, in the position in which the patient experiences pain. A patient handling system built into the floor brings the patients to the desired height in the scanner. An adjustable bed allows the patients to stand, sit or lie on their backs, sides or stomachs at any angle. The Upright(TM) MRI may also be useful for MRI guided interventional procedures. More recently a new application of the FONAR Upright(TM) technology is in the evaluation and diagnosis of patients with the Arnold-Chiari syndrome believed to affect from 200,000 to 500,000 Americans. In this syndrome brain stem compression and entrapment of the brain 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. Classic symptoms of the Chiari syndrome include the "drop attack", where the erect patient unexpectedly experiences an explosive rush or nervous discharge at the base of the brain which rushes down the body to the extremities, causing the patient to collapse in a transient neuromuscular paralysis which then subsides when the patient is in a horizontal position. The FONAR Upright(TM) MRI has recently demonstrated its key value on two patients with Chiari syndrome establishing that the conventional lie-down MRI scanners cannot make an adequate evaluation of their pathology since the patient's pathology is most visible and symptoms are most acute when the patient is upright. It is critical to have an image of the patient in an upright position so that the neurosurgeons can fully evaluate the extent of the brain stem compression which is occurring so they can choose the most appropriate surgical approach for the operative repair. Another milestone in the sale and utilization of FONAR's Upright(TM) technology is the sale in September, 2006 of an Upright(TM) MRI scanner to the largest orthopedic hospital in the Netherlands, the St. Maartenskliniek. St. Maartenskliniek has over 300 in-patient beds and an extensive outpatient clinic program that diagnosis and treats 25,000 patients with orthopedic problems annually. In placing their order, St. Maartenskliniek announced from the point of view of their internationally recognized "Spine Center" that "once FONAR made available upright weight-bearing MRI imaging technology, owning one for the St. Maartenskliniek "Spine Center" was not optional but mandatory. For our hospital to continue to engage in spine surgery without it, once this new technology became available, was unacceptable. Once the means were available to make certain we were getting the complete picture of the patient's spine pathology before undertaking surgery, so that we could be certain we were not performing surgery based on a wrong diagnosis and running the risk of doing the wrong surgery, we did not regard the utilization of this new technology, from our patient's perspective as optional. It was mandatory." We are vigorously promoting sales of the Upright(TM) MRI which we regard as our most promising product. The market for the Upright(TM) shows strong progress. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we received orders for 18 Upright(TM) MRI scanners as compared to 30 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Revenues recognized from the sale of Upright(TM) MRI scanners, however, decreased in fiscal 2006 by 85.4% over fiscal 2005 from approximately $71.7 million in fiscal 2005 to approximately $10.5 million in fiscal 2006, following a 68% increase from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005, when revenues from the sale of Upright(TM) MRI scanners increased from $42.7 million to $71.7 million in fiscal 2005. The following chart shows the revenues attributable to our different model scanners for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006. Note that we recognize revenue on a percentage of completion basis. Accordingly, revenue is recognized as each sub-assembly of a scanner is manufactured. Consequently the revenues for a fiscal period do not necessarily relate to orders placed in that period. Model Revenues Recognized Fiscal 2005 Fiscal 2006 ----------- ----------- Upright(TM) $71,666,053 $10,452,069 Fonar 360(TM) $ 764,031 $ 383,589 Other $ 0 $ 0 The Fonar 360(TM) includes the Open Sky(TM) MRI. We received our first order for a Fonar 360(TM) scanner in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The magnet frame is incorporated into the floor, ceiling and sidewalls of the scan room and is open. Consequently, physicians and family members can walk inside the magnet to approach the patient. The Open Sky(TM) version of the Fonar 360(TM) is decoratively designed so that it is incorporated into the panoramic landscape that decorates the walls of the scan room. The ability of the Fonar 360(TM) to give physicians direct 360 degree access to patients and the availability of MRI compatible interventional instruments such as needles, catheters, probes, scalpels and forceps, will also enable the Fonar 360(TM) to be used for image guided interventions. Our earlier primary product, the QUAD(TM) MR scanner, utilized a electromagnet and was accessible from four sides. The QUAD(TM) was the first "open" MRI scanner at high field. FONAR's showcase installation of the first FONAR 360(TM) MRI scanner sold is progressing very successfully at the Oxford Nuffield Orthopedic Center in Oxford, United Kingdom. Oxford-Nuffield had two objectives in the choice of the FONAR 360(TM) MRI. The first was to have an open mid-field MRI imaging scanner to meet their medical imaging needs. The second was to have an open scanner that would enable direct image guided surgical intervention. The Oxford-Nuffield scanner is now installed and carrying a full diagnostic imaging load daily. Additionally, development of the works-in-progress FONAR 360(TM) MRI image guided interventional technology is actively progressing. FONAR software engineers have completed and installed their 2nd generation tracking software at Oxford-Nuffield which is designed to enable the surgeons to insert needles into the patient and accurately advance them under direct visual image guidance to the target tissue, such as a tumor, so that therapeutic agents can be injected. The software is now installed and being tested by Oxford-Nuffield's surgical teams. Proceeding to the next step of injecting test substances and therapeutic agents into target tissues is expected to commence in the near future. Health Management Corporation of America, formerly U.S. Health Management Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FONAR, currently is managing 12 diagnostic imaging centers located principally in New York and Florida. During the beginning of fiscal 2006 HMCA also managed six physical therapy and rehabilitation practices located in New York. HMCA sold the portion of its business engaged in the management of physical therapy and rehabilitation practices in July of 2005. PRODUCTS Fonar's principal products are the Upright(TM) MRI and the Fonar 360(TM). The Upright(TM) MRI is a whole-body open MRI system that enables positional MRI (pMRI(TM)) applications, such as weight-bearing MRI studies. Operating at a magnetic field strength of 0.6 Tesla, the scanner is a powerful, diagnostically versatile and cost-effective open MRI that provides a broad range of clinical capabilities and a complete set of imaging protocols. Patients can be scanned standing, bending, sitting, upright at an intermediate angle or in any of the conventional recumbent positions. This multi-positional MRI system accommodates an unrestricted range of motion for flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation studies of the cervical (upper)and lumbar (lower) spine. Previously difficult patient scanning positions can be achieved using the system's MRI-compatible, three-dimensional, motorized patient handling system. Patients, lying horizontally, are placed into the magnet in the conventional manner. The system's lift and tilt functions then deliver the targeted anatomical region to the center of the magnet. The ceiling and floor are recessed to accommodate the full vertical travel of the table. True image orientation is assured, regardless of the rotation angle, via computer read- back of the table's position. Spines and extremities can be scanned in weight- bearing states; brains can be scanned with patients either standing or sitting. Recently, this capability of the FONAR Upright(TM) technology has demonstrated its key value on patients with the Arnold-Chiari syndrome, 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, when because of weakness in the support tissues within the skull, 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 the pathology since the patient's pathology is most visible and the symptoms most acute when the patient is scanned in the upright weight-bearing position. The Upright(TM) MRI is exceptionally open, making it the most non- claustrophobic whole-body MRI scanner. Patients can walk into the magnet, stand or sit for their scans and then walk out. From the patient's point of view, the magnet's front-open and top-open design provides an unprecedented degree of comfort because the scanner allows the patient an unobstructed view of the scanner room from inside the magnet, and there is nothing in front of one's face or over one's head. The only thing in front of the patient's face during the scan is a very large (42") panoramic TV (included with the scanner) mounted on the wall. The bed is tilted back five degrees to stabilize a standing patient. Special coil fixtures, a patient seat, Velcro straps, and transpolar stabilizing bars are available to keep the patient comfortable and motionless throughout the scanning process. Full-range-of-motion studies of the joints in virtually any direction will be possible, an especially promising feature for sports injuries. Full range of motion cines, or movies, of the lumbar spine will be achieved under full body weight. The Upright(TM) MRI will also be useful for MRI guided interventional procedures as the physician would have unhindered access to the patient with no restrictions in the vertical direction. This easy-entry, mid-field-strength scanner should be 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. The Fonar 360(TM) is an enlarged room sized magnet in which the floor, ceiling and walls of the scan room are part of the magnet frame. This is made possible by Fonar's patented Iron-Frame(TM) technology which allows our engineers to control, contour and direct the magnet's lines of flux in the patient gap where wanted and almost none outside of the steel of the magnet where not wanted. Consequently, this scanner allows 360 degree access to the patient, and physicians and family members are able to enter the scanner and approach the patient. The Fonar 360(TM) is presently marketed as a diagnostic scanner and is sometimes referred to as the Open Sky(TM) MRI. In its Open Sky(TM) capacity, the Fonar 360(TM) serves as an open patient-friendly scanner which allows 360 degree access to the patient on the scanner bed. To optimize the patient-friendly character of the Open Sky(TM) MRI, the walls, floor, ceiling and magnet poles are decorated with landscape murals. The patient gap is twenty inches and the magnetic field strength, like that of Fonar's earlier QUAD(TM) MRI scanner, is 0.6 Tesla. We also expect to enable the Fonar 360(TM) to function as an MRI guided interventional scanner, for the purpose of performing intra-operative, interventional and therapeutic procedures with MR compatible instrumentation. In this capacity, the enlarged room sized magnet and 360 degree access to the patient afforded by the Fonar 360(TM) would permit full-fledged support teams to walk into the magnet and perform MRI guided interventions on the patient inside the magnet. Most importantly, the exceptional quality of the MRI image and its exceptional capacity to exhibit tissue detail on the image, by virtue of the nuclear resonance signal's extraordinary capacity to create image contrast, can then be obtained real time to guide the physician during the MRI guided intervention. Thus MRI compatible instruments, needles, catheters, endoscopes and the like can be introduced directly into the human body and guided to the malignant lesion or other pathology by means of the MRI image. Surgically inoperable lesions could be accessed through MRI guided catheters and needles making it possible to deliver the treatment agent directly to the targeted tissue. The first FONAR 360(TM) MRI scanner, installed at the Oxford-Nuffield Orthopedic Center in Oxford, United Kingdom, is now carrying a full diagnostic imaging caseload. In addition, however, development of the works-in-progress FONAR 360(TM) MRI image guided interventional technology is actively progressing. FONAR software engineers have completed and installed their 2nd generation tracking software at Oxford-Nuffield which is designed to enable the surgeons to insert needles into the patient and accurately advance them, under direct visual image guidance, to the target tissue, such as a tumor, so that therapeutic agents can be injected. The software is now being tested by Oxford-Nuffield's surgical teams. Proceeding to the next step of injecting test substances and therapeutic agents into the target tissues is expected to commence in the near future. With current treatment methods, therapy must always be restricted in the doses that can be applied to the malignant tissue because of the adverse effects on the healthy tissues. Thus chemotherapies must be limited at the first sign of toxic side effects. The same is the case with radiation therapy. Fonar expects that with the Fonar 360(TM) treatment agents may be administrated directly to the malignant tissue through small catheters or needles, thereby allowing much larger doses of chemotherapy, x-rays, laser ablation, microwave and other anti-neoplastic agents to be applied directly and exclusively to the malignant tissue with more effective results. Since the interventional procedure of introducing a treatment needle or catheter under image guidance will be minimally invasive, the procedure can be readily repeated should metastases occur elsewhere, with minimum impact on the patient beyond a straightforward needle injection. The presence of the MRI image during treatment will would enable the operator to make assessments during treatment whether the treatment is being effective. In addition to the patient comfort and new applications, such as MRI directed interventions, made possible by our scanners' open design, the Upright(TM) and Fonar 360(TM) scanners are designed to maximize image quality through an optimal combination of signal-to-noise (S/N) and contrast-to-noise (C/N) ratios. The technical improvements realized in these scanners' design over their predecessors also include increased image-processing speed and diagnostic flexibility. MRI directed interventions are made possible by the scanners' ability to supply images to a monitor positioned next to the patient, enabling the operator to view in process an interventional procedure from an unlimited number of angles. The openness of Fonar's scanners would enable a physician to perform a wide range of interventional procedures inside the magnet. In the case of breast imaging the access by a physician permits an image guided biopsy to be performed easily which is essential once suspicious lesions are spotted by any diagnostic modality. In addition to being far superior to x-ray in detecting breast lesions because of the MRI's ability to create the soft tissue contrast needed to see them, where x-ray is deficient in its ability to generate the needed contrast between cancer and normal tissue, there is not the painful compression of the breast characteristic of X-ray mammography. The Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) scanners share much of the same fundamental technology and offer the same speed, precision and image quality. Fonar's scanners initiated the new market segment of high-field open MRI in which the Fonar Upright(TM) MRI is one of the market leaders. High-field open MRIs operate at significantly higher magnetic field strengths and, therefore, produce more of the MRI image-producing signal needed to make high-quality MRI images (measured by signal-to-noise ratios, S/N). Like Fonar's previous principal product, the QUAD(TM) scanner, the Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) scanners utilize a 6000 gauss (0.6 Tesla field strength) iron core electromagnet. The QUAD(TM) was the first open MRI scanner at high field. The greater field strength of the 6000 gauss magnet, as compared to lower field open MRI scanners that operate at 3,000 gauss (0.3 Tesla) when enhanced by the electronics already utilized by Fonar's scanners, produces images of higher quality and clarity. Fonar's 0.6 Tesla open scanner magnets are among the highest field "open MRI" magnets in the industry. The Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) scanners are designed to maximize image quality through an optimal combination of signal-to-noise (S/N) and contrast- to-noise (C/N) ratios. The technical improvements realized in the scanners' design over their lower field predecessors also include increased image- processing speed and diagnostic flexibility. Several technological advances have been engineered into the Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) scanners for extra improvements in S/N, including: new high- S/N Organ Specific(TM) receiver coils; new advanced front-end electronics featuring high-speed, wide-dynamic-range analog-to-digital conversion and a miniaturized ultra-low-noise pre-amplifier; high-speed automatic tuning, bandwidth-optimized pulse sequences, multi-bandwidth sequences, and off-center FOV imaging capability. In addition to the signal-to-noise ratio, however, the factor that must be considered when it comes to image quality is contrast, the quality that enables reading physicians to clearly distinguish adjacent, and sometimes minute, anatomical structures from their surroundings. This quality is measured by contrast-to-noise ratios (C/N). Unlike S/N, which increases with increasing field strength, relaxometry studies have shown that C/N peaks in the mid-field range and actually falls off precipitously at higher field strengths. The Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) scanners operate squarely in the optimum C/N range. The Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) provide various features allowing for versatile diagnostic capability. For example, SMART(TM) scanning allows for same-scan customization of up to 63 slices, each slice with its own thickness, resolution, angle and position. This is an important feature for scanning parts of the body that include small-structure sub-regions requiring finer slice parameters. There is also Multi-Angle Oblique(TM) (MAO) imaging, and oblique imaging. The console for these scanners includes a mouse-driven, multi-window interface for easy operation and a 19-inch, 1280 x 1024-pixel, 20-up, high-resolution image monitor with features such as electronic magnifying glass and real-time, continuous zoom and pan. Prior to the introduction of the Upright(TM) MRI, Fonar 360(TM) and QUAD(TM) scanners, the Ultimate(TM) 7000 scanner, introduced in 1990, was the Company's principal product. The Ultimate(TM) scanner replaced the Company's traditional principal products, the Beta(TM) 3000 scanner (which utilized a permanent magnet) and the Beta(TM) 3000M scanner (which utilized an iron core electromagnet). All of the Company's current and earlier model scanners create cross-sectional images of the human body. During fiscal 2006, sales of our Upright(TM) MRI scanners accounted for approximately 31.6% of our total revenues and 53.0% of our medical equipment revenues, as compared to 68.3% of total revenues and 88.2% of medical equipment revenues in fiscal 2005 and 59.6% of total revenues and 87.7% of medical equipment revenues in fiscal 2004. These sales show the market penetration being achieved by the Upright(TM) MRI scanner. During fiscal 2006, sales of our Fonar 360(TM) scanner accounted for 1.2% of total revenues and 1.9% of medical equipment revenues. During fiscal 2005 sales of our Fonar 360(TM) scanner accounted for 0.7% of total revenues and 0.9% of medical equipment revenues. Our principal selling, marketing and advertising efforts have in the past two years focused on the Upright(TM) MRI, which we believe is a particularly unique product, being the only MRI scanner which is both open and allows for weight bearing imaging. Since we perceive that the Upright(TM) MRI is successfully penetrating the market and enabled us to achieve profitability in fiscal 2005, we expect to continue our focus on the Upright(TM) MRI in the immediate future, notwithstanding the losses incurred in fiscal 2006. We are optimistic that Fonar 360(TM) and our other products and works in progress will also contribute materially to increased product sales. The materials and components used in the manufacture of our products (circuit boards, computer hardware components, electrical components, steel and plastic) are generally available at competitive prices. We have not had difficulty acquiring such materials. WORKS-IN-PROGRESS All of our products and works-in-progress seek to bring to the public MRI products that are expected to provide important advances against serious disease. MRI takes advantage of the nuclear resonance signal elicited from the body's tissues and the exceptional sensitivity of this signal for detecting disease. Much of the serious disease of the body occurs in the soft tissue of vital organs. The principal diagnostic modality currently in use for detecting disease, as in the case of x-ray mammography, are diagnostic x- rays. X-rays discriminate soft tissues, such as healthy breast tissue and cancerous tissue poorly, because the x-ray particle traverses the various soft tissues almost equally thereby causing target films to be nearly equally exposed by x-rays passing through adjacent soft tissues and creating healthy and cancerous shadows on the film that differ little in brightness. The image contrast between cancerous and healthy breast tissue is poor, making the detection of breast cancers by the x-ray mammogram less than optimal and forcing the mammogram to rely on the presence or absence of microscopic stones called "microcalcifications" instead of being able to "see" the breast cancer itself. If microcalcifications are not present to provide the missing contrast, then the breast cancer goes undetected. They frequently are not present. The maximum contrast available by x-ray with which to discriminate disease is 4%. Brain cancers differ from surrounding healthy brain by only 1.6% while the contrast in the brain by MRI is 25 times greater at 40%. X-ray contrasts among the body's soft tissues are maximally 4%. Their contrast by MRI is 32.5 times greater (130%). On the other hand the soft tissue contrasts with which to distinguish cancers on images by MRI are up to 180%. In the case of cancer these contrasts can be even more marked making cancers readily visible and detectable anywhere in the body. This is because the nuclear resonance signals from the body's tissues differ so dramatically. Liver cancer and healthy liver signals differ by 180% for example. Thus there is some urgency to bring to market an MRI based breast scanner that can overcome the x-ray limitation and assure that mammograms do not miss serious lesions. The added benefit of MRI mammography relative to x- ray mammography is the elimination of the need for the patient to disrobe and the painful compression of the breast typical of the x-ray mammogram. The patient is scanned in her street clothes in MRI mammography. Moreover MRI mammogram scans the entire chest wall including the axilla for the presence of nodes which the x-ray mammogram cannot reach. We view our Upright(TM) MRI as having the potential for being an ideal breast examination machine as it permits the patient to be seated for the examination, which would allow easy access for an MRI guided breast biopsy when needed. The Fonar 360(TM) MRI scanner would also be ideal for breast examinations. PRODUCT MARKETING The principal markets for the Company's scanners are private scanning centers and hospitals. Fonar's internal sales force is approximately 19 persons. Our internal sales force handles the domestic market while we continue to use independent manufacturer's representatives and distributors for foreign markets. In addition to its internal domestic sales force, Fonar and General Electric Medical Systems, a division of General Electric Company, have entered into an arrangement pursuant to which General Electric Medical Systems acts as independent manufacturer's representative for Fonar's Upright(TM) MRI scanner in the domestic market as well. Neither General Electric nor any of FONAR's other competitors, however, are entitled to make the Upright(TM) MRI scanner. In addition, Fonar's website includes an interactive product information desk for reaching customers. We plan to commence a program for providing demonstrations of our products to potential customers on an international basis. FONAR has exhibited its new products at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America ("RSNA") in Chicago since November 1995 and plans to attend the RSNA meeting in November 2006 and future years. The RSNA meeting is attended by radiologists from all over the world. Most manufacturers of MRI scanners regularly exhibit at this meeting. FONAR has targeted orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, particularly spine surgeons, as important markets for the Upright(TM) MRI. Accordingly, FONAR has regularly exhibited at the annual meetings of The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) since 2003; the North American Spine Society (NASS) since 2004; the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) since 2004; and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) since 2004. FONAR's success in targeting this group was most evident in the sale, in September 2006, of an Upright(TM) MRI scanner to the largest orthopedic hospital in the Netherlands, the St. Maartenskliniek in Nijmegen. In addition to being a key sale to a prestigious hospital, the medical conclusions reached and stated by the buyer and the buyer's intention to conduct research and publish articles concerning the Upright(TM) technology, are a vital component to FONAR's objective to prove to the medical community at large, insurers, governmental agencies and others the benefits, if not necessity of Upright(TM) scanning. A Director of St. Maartenskliniek and the Chairman of Spine Surgery stated that "We at St. Maartenskliniek, the biggest orthopedic hospital in the Netherlands, are very much looking forward to this new technology from FONAR which will enable us to evaluate the spine anatomy in the fully weight bearing state and in multiple positions. We expect these new multi-position capabilities to lead to more accurate diagnosis and better surgery outcomes for patients. Once our active research program has discovered the benefits of this new FONAR technology for patients, we intend to publish the results in a lot of peer reviewed scientific journals." The Chairman stated further "that once FONAR made available upright weight-bearing MRI imaging technology, owning one for the St. Maartenskliniek "Spine Center" was not optional but mandatory. For our hospital to continue to engage in spine surgery without it, once this new technology became available, was unacceptable". We are directing our MRI marketing efforts to meet the demand for high field open MRI scanners. Fonar plans to devote its principal efforts to marketing the Upright(TM) MRI, which is the only scanner in the industry that has the unique capability of scanning patients under weight-bearing conditions and in various positions of pain or other symptoms. In addition we will continue to market our Fonar 360(TM) MRI scanners. Utilizing a 6000 gauss (0.6 Tesla field strength) iron core electromagnet, the Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) scanner magnets are among the highest field "open MRI" scanners in the industry. We also will seek to introduce new MRI applications for our scanners such as MRI-directed interventions. Our areas of operations are principally in the United States. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, 10.0% of the Company's revenues were generated by foreign sales, as compared to 7.1% and 1.2% for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. We are seeking to promote foreign sales and have sold scanners in various foreign countries. Foreign sales, however, have not yet proved to be a significant source of revenue. SERVICE AND UPGRADES FOR MRI SCANNERS Our customer base of installed scanners has been and will continue to be an additional source of income, independent of direct sales. Income is generated from the installed base in two principal areas namely, service and upgrades. Service and maintenance revenues from our external installed base were approximately $3.2 million in fiscal 2004, $5.8 million in fiscal 2005 and $8.6 million in fiscal 2006. We expect service revenues to continue to increase as warranties expire on previously sold scanners, and the customers then enter into service contracts. We also anticipate that our new scanners will result in upgrades income in future fiscal years. The potential for upgrades income, particularly in the form of new patient supporting upright imaging fixtures and receiver coils, originates in the versatility and productivity of the new Upright Imaging(TM) technology. New medical uses for MRI technology are constantly being discovered and are anticipated for the Upright Imaging(TM) technology as well. New features can often be added to the scanner by the implementation of little more than versatile new software packages. For example, software can be added to existing MRI angiography applications to synchronize angiograms with the cardiac cycle. By doing so the dynamics of blood vessel filling and emptying can be visualized with movies. Such enhancements are attractive to end users because they extend the useful life of the equipment and enable the user to avoid obsolescence and the expense of having to purchase new equipment. At the present time, however, upgrade revenue is not significant. We had no upgrade revenue in fiscal 2004, and upgrade revenues of approximately $40,000 in fiscal 2005. We had upgrade revenues of approximately $82,000 in fiscal 2006. Service and upgrade revenues are expected to increase as sales of scanners and the size of the customer base increases. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we incurred expenditures of $7,581,898, $714,253 of which was capitalized, on research and development, as compared to $6,752,755, $745,994 of which was capitalized and $6,079,797, $588,735 of which was capitalized, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. Research and development activities have focused principally, on the development and enhancement of the Upright(TM) and Fonar 360(TM) MRI scanners. The Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) involve significant software and hardware development as the new products represent entirely new hardware designs and architecture requiring a new operating software. Our research activity includes developing a multitude of new features for upright scanning made possible by the high speed processing power of its scanners. In addition, the Company's research and development efforts include the development of new software, such as its Sympulse(TM) software and hardware upgrade and the designing and continuing introduction of new receiver surface coils for the Upright(TM) MRI. BACKLOG Our backlog of unfilled orders at July 1, 2006 was approximately $24.2 million, as compared to $13.1 million at July 1, 2005. Of these amounts, approximately $5.5 million and $1.7 million had been paid to FONAR as customer advances as at July 1, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. Of the backlog amounts at July 1, 2006 and July 1, 2005, $137,000 and $103,000, respectively, represented orders from related parties. It is expected that the existing backlog of orders will be filled within the current fiscal year. Our contracts generally provide that if a customer cancels an order, the customer's initial down payment for the MRI scanner is nonrefundable. PATENTS AND LICENSES We currently have numerous patents in effect which relate to the technology and components of the MRI scanners. We believe that these patents, and the know-how it has developed, are material to its business. Dr. Damadian granted FONAR an exclusive world-wide license, to make, use and sell apparatus covered by certain domestic and foreign patents in his name relating to MRI technology. No patents covered by this license are in effect any longer. One of the patents, issued in the name of Dr. Damadian and covered by said license, was United States patent No. 3,789,832, Apparatus and Method for Detecting Cancer in Tissue, also referred to as the "1974 Patent". The development of the Beta(TM) 3000 was based upon the 1974 Patent, and we believe that the 1974 Patent was the first of its kind to utilize MR to scan the human body and to detect cancer. The 1974 Patent was extended beyond its original 17-year term and expired in February, 1992. We have significantly enhanced our patent position within the industry and now possesses a substantial patent portfolio which provides us, under the aegis of United States patent law, "the exclusive right to make, use and sell" many of the scanner features which FONAR pioneered and which are now incorporated in most MRI scanners sold by the industry. The Company has 118 patents issued and approximately 70 patents pending. A number of Fonar's existing patents specifically relate to protecting Fonar's position in the high-field iron frame open MRI market. The patents further enhance Dr. Damadian's pioneer patent, the 1974 Patent, that initiated the MRI industry and provided the original invention of MRI scanning. The 118 issued patents extend to various times up to 2024. We have a license agreement granting us a license to utilize the MRI technology covered by the existing patent portfolio of a patent holding company. We also have patent cross-licensing agreements with other MRI manufacturers. PRODUCT COMPETITION MRI SCANNERS A majority of the MRI scanners in use in hospitals and outpatient facilities and at mobile sites in the United States are based on high field air core magnet technology while the balance are based on open iron frame magnet technology. Fonar's open iron frame MRI scanners are competing principally with high-field air core scanners. Fonar's open MRI scanners, however, utilizing a 6,000 gauss or 0.6 Tesla field strength, iron core electromagnet, were the first "open" MR scanners at high field strength. FONAR believes that its MRI scanners have significant advantages as compared to the high-field air core scanners of its competitors. These advantages include: 1. There is no expansive fringe magnetic field. High field air core scanners require a more expensive shielded room than is required for the iron frame scanners. The shielded room required for the iron frame scanners is intended to prevent interference from external radio frequencies. 2. They are more open and quiet. 3. They can scan the trauma victim, the cardiac arrest patient, the respirator-supported patient, and premature and newborn babies. This is not possible with high- field air core scanners because their magnetic field interferes with conventional life-support equipment. The principal competitive disadvantage of our products is that they are not "high field strength", 1.0 Tesla +, magnets. As a general principle, the higher field strength can produce a faster scan. In some parts of the body a faster scan can be traded for a clearer picture. Although we believe that the benefits of "openness" provided by our scanners compensate for the lower field strength, certain customers will still prefer the higher field strength. FONAR faces competition within the MRI industry from such firms as General Electric Company, Philips N.V., Toshiba Corporation, Hitachi Corporation and Siemens A.G. Most competitors have marketing and financial resources more substantial than those available to us. They have in the past, and may in the future, heavily discount the sales price of their scanners. Such competitors sell both high field air core and iron frame products. Based on the Frost and Sullivan data contained in their publication, FONAR had a 10% market share in the low-field segment of the 2005 market in the United States. It should be noted that although Frost and Sullivan define .6 Tela (the field strength of FONAR's magnets) as "low-field", the market place generally and FONAR define it as "mid-field" and in the category of open MRI scanners, FONAR's .6 Tesla magnets are among the highest field strength open magnets. FONAR introduced the first "Open MRI" in 1980. "Open MRI" was made possible by Fonar's introduction of an MRI magnet built on an iron frame. Thus the magnetic flux generating apparatus of the magnet, magnet coils or permanent magnet bricks, was built into a frame of steel. The steel frame provided a return path for the magnetic lines of force and thereby kept the magnetic lines of force contained within the magnet. This enabled FONAR, from 1980 on, to show that the FONAR magnet was the only magnet that allowed the patients to stretch out their arms, the only "open" MRI. The iron frame, because it could control the magnetic lines of force and place them where wanted and remove them from where not wanted, such as in the Fonar 360(TM) where physicians and staff are standing, provide a much more versatile magnet design than is possible with air core magnets. Air core magnets contain no iron but consist entirely of turns of current carrying wire. For an 11 year period from 1983-1994, Fonar's large competitors, with one exception, generally rejected Fonar's "open" design but by now all have added the iron frame "open" magnet to their MRI product lines. One reason for this market shift, in addition to patient claustrophobia, is the awareness that the open magnet designs permit access to the patient to perform MRI guided procedures, a field which is now growing rapidly and is called "interventional MRI." The Fonar 360(TM) scanner explicitly addresses this growing market reception of MRI guided interventions, and the first of these scanners was sold to a hospital in England. Fonar's Upright(TM) magnet also addresses the growing market reception of MRI guided interventions. Although not enabling a full interventional theater as the Fonar 360(TM) does, the iron frame Upright(TM) MRI design permits ready access to the patient and enables a wide range of interventional procedures such as biopsies and needle or catheter delivered therapies to be performed under MRI image guidance. The "tunnel" air core superconductive scanners do not permit access to the patient while the patient is inside the scanner. FONAR expects to be a leader in domestic open MRI market for several reasons. In MRI, scanning speed and image quality is controlled by the strength of the magnetic field. Fonar's Upright(TM) and Fonar 360(TM) scanners operate at 0.6 Tesla, which make them among the highest field strength open MRI scanners. Furthermore, the Upright(TM) MRI is the only MRI which allows patients to be scanned under weight-bearing conditions. High field MRI manufacturers convinced the marketplace for FONAR, and the marketplace accepts, that higher field strength translates directly into superior image quality and faster scanning speeds. No companies possess the Upright(TM) MRI or Fonar 360(TM) scanners, and FONAR possesses the pioneer patents on "open MRI" technology. OTHER IMAGING MODALITIES Fonar's MRI scanners also compete with other diagnostic imaging systems, all of which are based upon the ability of energy waves to penetrate human tissue and to be detected by either photographic film or electronic devices for presentation of an image on a television monitor. Three different kinds of energy waves - X-ray, gamma and sound - are used in medical imaging techniques which compete with MRI medical scanning, the first two of which involve exposing the patient to potentially harmful radiation. These other imaging modalities compete with MRI products on the basis of specific applications. X-rays are the most common energy source used in imaging the body and are employed in three imaging modalities: 1. Conventional X-ray systems, the oldest method of imaging, are typically used to image bones and teeth. The image resolution of adjacent structures that have high contrast, such as bone adjacent to soft tissue, is excellent, while the discrimination between soft tissue organs is poor because of the nearly equivalent penetration of x- rays. 2. Computerized Tomography, also referred to as "CT", systems couple computers to x-ray instruments to produce cross-sectional images of particular large organs or areas of the body. The CT scanner addresses the need for images, not available by conventional radiography, that display anatomic relationships spatially. However, CT images are generally limited to the transverse plane and cannot readily be obtained in the two other planes, sagittal and coronal. Improved picture resolution is available at the expense of increased exposure to x-rays from multiple projections. Furthermore, the pictures obtained by this method are computer reconstructions of a series of projections and, once diseased tissue has been detected, CT scanning cannot be focused for more detailed pictorial analysis or obtain a chemical analysis. 3. Digital radiography systems add computer image processing capability to conventional x-ray systems. Digital radiography can be used in a number of diagnostic procedures which provide continuous imaging of a particular area with enhanced image quality and reduced patient exposure to radiation. Nuclear medicine systems, which are based upon the detection of gamma radiation generated by radioactive pharmaceuticals introduced into the body, are used to provide information concerning soft tissue and internal body organs and particularly to examine organ function over time. Ultrasound systems emit, detect and process high frequency sound waves reflected from organ boundaries and tissue interfaces to generate images of soft tissue and internal body organs. Although the images are substantially less detailed than those obtainable with x-ray methods, ultrasound is generally considered harmless and therefore has found particular use in imaging the pregnant uterus. X-ray machines, ultrasound machines, digital radiography systems and nuclear medicine compete with the MRI scanners by offering significantly lower price and space requirements. However, FONAR believes that the quality of the images produced by its MRI scanners is generally superior to the quality of the images produced by those other methodologies. GOVERNMENT REGULATION FDA Regulation The Food and Drug Administration in accordance with Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations regulates the manufacturing and marketing of Fonar's MRI scanners. The regulations can be classified as either pre-market or post- market. The pre-market requirements include obtaining marketing clearance, proper device labeling, establishment registration and device listing. Once the products are on the market, FONAR must comply with post-market surveillance controls. These requirements include the Quality Systems Regulation, or "QSR", also known as Current Good Manufacturing Practices or CGMPs, and Medical Device Reporting, also referred to as MDR regulations. The QSR is a quality assurance requirement that covers the design, packaging, labeling and manufacturing of a medical device. The MDR regulation is an adverse event-reporting program. Classes of Products Under the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, all medical devices are classified by the FDA into one of three classes. A Class I device is subject only to general controls, such as labeling requirements and manufacturing practices; a Class II device must comply with certain performance standards established by the FDA; and a Class III device must obtain pre-market approval from the FDA prior to commercial marketing. Fonar's products are Class II devices. Class I devices are subject to the least regulatory control. They present minimal potential for harm to the user and are often simpler in design than Class II or Class III devices. Class I devices are subject to "General Controls" as are Class II and Class III devices. General Controls include: 1. Establishment registration of companies which are required to register under 21 CFR Part 807.20, such as manufacturers, distributors, re-packagers and re- labelers. 2. Medical device listing with FDA of devices to be marketed. 3. Manufacturing devices in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practices Quality System Regulation in 21 CFR Part 820. 4. Labeling devices in accordance with labeling regulations in 21 CFR Part 801 or 809. 5. Submission of a Premarket Notification, pursuant to 510(k), before marketing a device. Class II devices are those for which general controls alone are insufficient to assure safety and effectiveness, and existing methods are available to provide such assurances. In addition to complying with general controls, Class II devices are also subject to special controls. Special controls may include special labeling requirements, guidance documents, mandatory performance standards and post-market surveillance. We received approval to market our Beta(TM) 3000 and Beta(TM) 3000M scanners as Class III devices on September 26, 1984 and November 12, 1985. On July 28, 1988, the Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device which includes MR Imaging and MR Spectroscopy was reclassified by the FDA to Class II status. Consequently, Fonar's products are now classified as Class II products. On July 26, 1991, Fonar received FDA clearance to market the Ultimate(TM) Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner as a Class II device. Fonar received FDA clearance to market the QUAD(TM) 7000 in April 1995 and the QUAD(TM) 12000 in November 1995. On March 16, 2000, Fonar received FDA clearance to market the Fonar 360(TM) for diagnostic imaging, the Open Sky(TM) version, and on October 3, 2000 received FDA clearance for the Upright(TM) MRI. Premarketing Submission Each person who wants to market Class I, II and some III devices intended for human use in the U.S. must submit a 510(k) to FDA at least 90 days before marketing unless the device is exempt from 510(k) requirements. A 510(k) is a pre-marketing submission made to FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent, SE, to a legally marketed device that is not subject to pre-market approval, PMA. Applicants must compare their 510(k) device to one or more similar devices currently on the U.S. market and make and support their substantial equivalency claims. The FDA is committed to a 90-day clearance after submission of a 510(k), provided the 510(k) is complete and there is no need to submit additional information or data. The 510(k) is essentially a brief statement and description of the product. As Fonar's scanner products are Class II products, there are no pre-market data requirements and the process is neither lengthy nor expensive. An investigational device exemption, also referred to as IDE, allows the investigational device to be used in a clinical study pending FDA clearance in order to collect safety and effectiveness data required to support the Premarket Approval, also referred to as PMA, application or a Premarket Notification pursuant to 510(k), submission to the FDA. Clinical studies are most often conducted to support a PMA. For the most part, however, we have not found it necessary to utilize IDE's. The standard 90 day clearance for our new MRI scanner products classified as Class II products makes the IDE unnecessary, particularly in view of the time and effort involved in compiling the information necessary to support an IDE. Quality System Regulation The Quality Management System is applicable to the design, manufacture, administration of installation and servicing of magnetic resonance imaging scanner systems. The FDA has authority to conduct detailed inspections of manufacturing plants, to establish Good Manufacturing Practices which must be followed in the manufacture of medical devices, to require periodic reporting of product defects and to prohibit the exportation of medical devices that do not comply with the law. Medical Device Reporting Regulation Manufacturers must report all MDR reportable events to the FDA. Each manufacturer must review and evaluate all complaints to determine whether the complaint represents an event which is required to be reported to FDA. Section 820.3(b) of the Quality Systems regulation defines a complaint as, "any written, electronic or oral communication that alleges deficiencies related to the identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness, or performance of a device after it is released for distribution." A report is required when a manufacturer becomes aware of information that reasonably suggests that one of their marketed devices has or may have caused or contributed to a death, serious injury, or has malfunctioned and that the device or a similar device marketed by the manufacturer would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. Malfunctions are not reportable if they are not likely to result in a death, serious injury or other significant adverse event experience. A malfunction which is or can be corrected during routine service or device maintenance still must be reported if the recurrence of the malfunction is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur. We have established and maintained written procedures for implementation of the MDR regulation. These procedures include internal systems that: provide for timely and effective identification, communication and evaluation of adverse events; provide a standardized review process and procedures for determining whether or not an event is reportable; and provide procedures to insure the timely transmission of complete reports. These procedures also include documentation and record keeping requirements for: information that was evaluated to determine if an event was reportable; all medical device reports and information submitted to the FDA; any information that was evaluated during preparation of annual certification reports; and systems that ensure access to information that facilitates timely follow up and inspection by FDA. FDA Enforcement FDA may take the following actions to enforce the MDR regulation: FDA-Initiated or Voluntary Recalls Recalls are regulatory actions that remove a hazardous, potentially hazardous, or a misbranded product from the marketplace. Recalls are also used to convey additional information to the user concerning the safe use of the product. Either FDA or the manufacturer can initiate recalls. There are three classifications, i.e., I, II, or III, assigned by the Food and Drug Administration to a particular product recall to indicate the relative degree of health hazard presented by the product being recalled. Class I Is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. Class II Is a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. Class III Is a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. FONAR has initiated four Class II recalls. The recalls involved making minor corrections to the product in the field. Frequently, corrections which are made at the site of the device are called field corrections as opposed to recalls. Civil Money Penalties The FDA, after an appropriate hearing, may impose civil money penalties for violations of the FD&C Act that relate to medical devices. In determining the amount of a civil penalty, FDA will take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, the violator's ability to pay, the effect on the violator's ability to continue to do business, and any history of prior violations. The civil money penalty may not exceed $15,000 for each violation and may not exceed $1,000,000 for all violations adjudicated in a single proceeding, per person. Warning Letters FDA issues written communications to a firm, indicating that the firm may incur more severe sanctions if the violations described in the letter are not corrected. Warning letters are issued to cause prompt correction of violations that pose a hazard to health or that involve economic deception. The FDA generally issues the letters before pursuing more severe sanctions. Seizure A seizure is a civil court action against a specific quantity of goods which enables the FDA to remove these goods from commercial channels. After seizure, no one may tamper with the goods except by permission of the court. The court usually gives the owner or claimant of the seized merchandise approximately 30 days to decide a course of action. If they take no action, the court will recommend disposal of the goods. If the owner decides to contest the government's charges, the court will schedule the case for trial. A third option allows the owner of the goods to request permission of the court to bring the goods into compliance with the law. The owner of the goods is required to provide a bond or, security deposit, to assure that they will perform the orders of the court, and the owner must pay for FDA supervision of any activities by the company to bring the goods into compliance. Citation A citation is a formal warning to a firm of intent to prosecute the firm if violations of the FD&C Act are not corrected. It provides the firm an opportunity to convince FDA not to prosecute. Injunction An injunction is a civil action filed by FDA against an individual or company. Usually, FDA files an injunction to stop a company from continuing to manufacture, package or distribute products that are in violation of the law. Prosecution Prosecution is a criminal action filed by FDA against a company or individual charging violation of the law for past practices. Foreign and Export Regulation We obtain approvals as necessary in connection with the sales of our products in foreign countries. In some cases, FDA approval has been sufficient for foreign sales as well. Our standard practice has been to require either the distributor or the customer to obtain any such foreign approvals or licenses which may be required. Legally marketed devices that comply with the requirements of the Food Drug & Cosmetic Act require a Certificate to Foreign Government issued by the FDA for export. Other devices that do not meet the requirements of the FD&C Act but comply with the laws of a foreign government require a Certificate of Exportability issued by the FDA. All products which we sell have FDA clearance and would fall into the first category. Foreign governments have differing requirements concerning the import of medical devices into their respective jurisdictions. The European Union, also referred to as EU, made up of 25 individual countries, has some essential requirements described in the EU's Medical Device Directive, also referred to as MDD. In order to export to one of these countries, we must meet the essential requirements of the MDD and any additional requirements of the importing country. The essential requirements are similar to some of the requirements mandated by the FDA. In addition the MDD requires that we enlist a Notified Body to examine and assess our documentation, a Technical Construction File, and verify that the product has been manufactured in conformity with the documentation. The notified body must carry out or arrange for the inspections and tests necessary to verify that the product complies with the essential requirements of the MDD, including safety performance and Electromagnetic Compatibility, also referred to as EMC. Also required is a Quality System, ISO-9001, assessment by the Notified Body. We were approved for ISO 9001 certification for its Quality Management System in April, 1999. We received clearance to sell the QUAD(TM) scanners in the EU in May, 1999. Clearances for the Fonar 360(TM) and Upright(TM) MRI scanners were obtained in May, 2002. Other countries such as China and Russia require that their own testing laboratories perform an evaluation of our devices. This requires that we must bring the foreign agency's personnel to the USA to perform the evaluation at our expense before exporting. Some countries, including many in Latin America and Africa, have very few regulatory requirements. Because our export sales are not material at this point, foreign regulation does not have a material effect on us. In any case, we do not believe that foreign regulation will deter its efforts to penetrate foreign markets. Reimbursement to Medical Providers for MRI Scans Effective November 22, 1985, the Department of Health and Human Services authorized reimbursement of MRI scans under the Federal Medicare program. In addition, most private insurance companies have authorized reimbursement for MRI scans. Anti-Kickback and Self-Referral Legislation Proposed and enacted legislation at the State and Federal levels has restricted referrals by physicians to medical and diagnostic centers in which they or their family members have an interest. In addition, regulations have been adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services which provide limited "safe harbors" under the Medicare Anti-Kickback Statute. These safe harbors describe payments and transactions which are permitted between an entity receiving reimbursement under the Medicare program and those having an interest in or dealings with the entity. Although the Company cannot predict the overall effect of the adoption of these regulations on the medical equipment industry, the use and continuation of limited partnerships, where investors may be referring physicians, to own and operate MRI scanners could be greatly diminished. HEALTH MANAGEMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA PHYSICIAN AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES MANAGEMENT BUSINESS Health Management Corporation of America, formerly known as U.S. Health Management Corporation and referred to as "HMCA", was organized by us in March 1997. HMCA is a wholly-owned subsidiary which engages in the business of providing comprehensive management services to imaging facilities. The services we provide include development, administration, leasing of office space, facilities and medical equipment, provision of supplies, staffing and supervision of non-medical personnel, legal services, accounting, billing and collection and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies. HMCA currently manages 12 MRI facilities. In April 2003, HMCA sold the portion of its business which managed primary care medical practices, and in July 2005, HMCA sold the portion of its business engaged in the management of physical therapy and rehabilitation practices. This was the result of HMCA's decision to focus on management of MRI facilities, the business in which HMCA is most experienced. For the 2006 fiscal year, the revenues HMCA recognized from the MRI facilities were $12.7 million and the revenues recognized from the physical therapy and rehabilitation practices were $648,000. For the 2005 fiscal year, the revenues HMCA recognized from the MRI facilities were $14.0 million and the revenues recognized from the physical therapy and rehabilitation practices were $9.7 million. HMCA GROWTH STRATEGY HMCA's growth strategy focuses on upgrading and expanding the existing facilities it manages and expanding the number of facilities it manages for its clients. Our most important effort in this regard is to promote and facilitate the replacement of existing MRI scanners with new Fonar Upright(TM)/Stand- Up(TM) MRI scanners at the most promising locations. To date, we have Upright(TM) MRI scanners at the MRI facilities we manage in Islandia, New York, Staten Island, New York, Bensonhurst, New York, Melville, New York, East Elmhurst, New York, East Setauket, New York, Boca Raton, Florida, Ormond Beach, Florida, Tallahassee, Florida and Latham, New York. In connection with its focus on managing MRI facilities, HMCA decided to sell its business of managing physical therapy and rehabilitation practices. The sale was completed on July 28, 2005, following the end of the 2005 fiscal year. The sale was made pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The assets sold consisted principally of the management agreements with the physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities, the assignment of other agreements and rights utilized in our physical therapy and rehabilitation facility management business, the physical therapy equipment, a portion of the accounts receivable and office furnishings and equipment we provided to the physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities. The sale was made to Health Plus Management Services, L.L.C. There is no material relationship between Health Plus and Fonar, HMCA, or any of their respective subsidiaries, directors or officers or associates of any such person. The two principals of Health Plus were employed by HMCA up to the time of the closing of the transaction. In consideration for the termination of their employment agreements, these two individuals each became entitled to receive $800,000. In addition, each became entitled to receive $200,000 for billing and collection services to be provided on behalf of HMCA with respect to a portion of the accounts receivable of certain physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities which arose during the period when we were engaged in the management of those facilities. The $1,000,000 payable was paid in shares of Fonar common stock. The purchase price under the asset purchase agreement was $6.6 million, payable pursuant to a promissory note in 120 monthly installments commencing on August 28, 2005. The first twelve installments are interest only and the remaining 108 payments will consist of equal installments of principal and interest in the amount of $76,014 each. The note is subject to prepayment provisions to the extent Health Plus resells all or part of the assets and business or utilizes the assets sold as collateral in any debt financing. PHYSICIAN AND DIAGNOSTIC MANAGEMENT SERVICES HMCA's services to the facilities it manages encompass substantially all of their business operations. Each facility is controlled, however, by the physician owner, not HMCA, and all medical services are performed by the physicians and other medical personnel under the physician owner's supervision. HMCA is the management company and performs services of a non-professional nature. These services include: 1. Offices and Equipment. HMCA identifies, negotiates leases for and/or provides office space and equipment to its clients. This includes technologically sophisticated medical equipment. HMCA also provides improvements to leaseholds, assistance in site selection and advice on improving, updating, expanding and adapting to new technology. 2. Personnel. HMCA staffs all the non-medical positions of its clients with its own employees, eliminating the client's need to interview, train and manage non-medical employees. HMCA processes the necessary tax, insurance and other documentation relating to employees. 3. Administrative. HMCA assists in the scheduling of patient appointments, purchasing of medical supplies and equipment and handling of reporting, accounting, processing and filing systems. It prepares and files the physician portions of complex forms to enable its clients to participate in managed care programs and to qualify for insurance reimbursement. We assist the clients to implement programs and procedures to ensure full and timely regulatory compliance and appropriate cost reimbursement under no-fault insurance and workers' compensation guidelines, as well as compliance with other applicable governmental requirements and regulations, including HIPAA and other privacy requirements. 4. Billing and Collections. HMCA is responsible for the billing and collection of revenues from third-party payors including those governed by no-fault and workers' compensation statutes. 5. Cost Saving Programs. Based on available volume discounts, HMCA seeks to obtain favorable pricing for medical supplies, equipment, contrast agents, such as gadolinuim, and other inventory for its clients. 6. Diagnostic Imaging and Ancillary Services. HMCA can offer access to diagnostic imaging equipment through diagnostic imaging facilities it manages. The Company is expanding the ancillary services offered in its network to include CT-scans, x-rays, ultrasound, and other ancillary services useful to its clients. 7. Marketing Strategies. HMCA is responsible for developing marketing plans for its clients. 8. Expansion Plans. HMCA assists the clients in developing expansion plans including the opening of new or replacement facilities where appropriate. HMCA advises clients on all aspects of their businesses, including expansion where it is a reasonable objective, on a continuous basis. HMCA's objective is to free physicians from as many non-medical duties as is practicable. Practices can treat patients more efficiently if the physicians can spend less time on business and administrative matters and more time practicing medicine. HMCA provides its services pursuant to negotiated contracts with its clients. While HMCA believes it can provide the greatest value to its clients by furnishing the full range of services appropriate to that client, HMCA would also be willing to enter into contracts providing for a more limited spectrum of management services. In the case of contracts with the MRI facilities, fees are charged by HMCA based on the number of procedures performed. In the case of the physical therapy and rehabilitation practices we previously managed, flat fees were charged on a monthly basis. Fees are subject to adjustment on an annual basis, but must be based on mutual agreement. The per procedure charges to the MRI facilities range from $250 to $500 per MRI scan. No MRI facilities or physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities are or were owned by HMCA. The facilities enter into contracts with third party payors, including managed care companies. Neither HMCA's clients nor HMCA participate in any capitated plans or other risk sharing arrangements. Capitated plans are those HMO programs where the provider is paid a flat monthly fee per patient. HMCA MARKETING HMCA's marketing strategy is to expand the business and improve the facilities which it manages. HMCA will also seek to increase the number of locations of those facilities where market conditions are promising. HMCA will seek to promote growth of its clients' patient volume and revenue through installing new Upright(TM) MRI scanners at MRI facilities. DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING FACILITIES AND OTHER ANCILLIARY SERVICES Diagnostic imaging facilities managed by HMCA provide diagnostic imaging services to patients referred by physicians who are either in private practice or affiliated with managed care providers or other payor groups. The facilities are operated in a manner which eliminates the admission and other administrative inconveniences of in-hospital diagnostic imaging services. Imaging services are performed in an outpatient setting by trained medical technologists under the direction of physicians. Following diagnostic procedures, the images are reviewed by the interpreting physicians who prepare a report of these tests and their findings. These reports are transcribed by HMCA personnel and then delivered to the referring physician. HMCA develops marketing programs in an effort to establish and maintain profitable referring physician relationships and to maximize reimbursement yields. These marketing approaches identify and target selected market segments consisting of area physicians with certain desirable medical specialties and reimbursement yields. Corporate and facility managers determine these market segments based upon an analysis of competition, imaging demand, medical specialty and payor mix of each referral from the local market. HMCA also directs marketing efforts at managed care providers. Managed care providers have become an important factor in the diagnostic imaging industry. To further its position, HMCA will seek to expand the imaging modalities offered at its managed diagnostic imaging facilities. HMCA COMPETITION The physician and diagnostic management services field is highly competitive. A number of large hospitals have acquired medical practices and this trend may continue. HMCA expects that more competition will develop. Many competitors have greater financial and other resources than HMCA. With respect to the diagnostic imaging facilities managed by HMCA, the outpatient diagnostic imaging industry is highly competitive. Competition focuses primarily on attracting physician referrals at the local market level and increasing referrals through relationships with managed care organizations. HMCA believes that principal competitors for the diagnostic imaging centers are hospitals and independent or management company-owned imaging centers. Competitive factors include quality and timeliness of test results, ability to develop and maintain relationships with managed care organizations and referring physicians, type and quality of equipment, facility location, convenience of scheduling and availability of patient appointment times. HMCA believes that it will be able to effectively meet the competition in the outpatient diagnostic imaging industry by installing the new Fonar Upright(TM) MRI scanners at its most promising facilities. GOVERNMENT REGULATION APPLICABLE TO HMCA FEDERAL REGULATION Stark Law Under the federal Self-Referral Law, also referred to as the "Stark Law", which is applicable to Medicare and Medicaid patients, and the self-referral laws of various States, certain health practitioners, including physicians, chiropractors and podiatrists, are prohibited from referring their patients for the provision of designated health services, including diagnostic imaging and physical therapy services, to any entity with which they or their immediate family members have a financial relationship, unless the referral fits within one of the specific exceptions in the statutes or regulations. Statutory exceptions under the Stark Law include, among others, direct physician services, in-office ancillary services rendered within a group practice, space and equipment rental and services rendered to enrollees of certain prepaid health plans. Some of these exceptions are also available under the State self-referral laws. HMCA believes that it and its clients are in compliance with these laws. Anti-kickback Regulation Under the federal Anti-kickback statute, which is applicable to Medicare and Medicaid, it is illegal, among other things, for a provider of MRI services to pay or offer money or other consideration to induce the referral of MRI scans. Neither HMCA nor its clients engage in this practice. In fiscal 2006, approximately 18.2% of the revenues of HMCA's clients were attributable to Medicare and 1.1% were attributable to Medicaid. In fiscal 2005, approximately 9.9% of the revenues of HMCA's clients were attributable to Medicare and 0.5% were attributable to Medicaid. State Regulation In addition to the federal self-referral law and federal Anti-kickback statute, many States, including those in which HMCA and its clients operate, have their own versions of self-referral and anti-kickback laws. These laws are not limited in their applicability, as are the federal laws, to specific programs. HMCA believes that it and its clients are in compliance with these laws. Various States prohibit business corporations from practicing medicine. Various States also prohibit the sharing of professional fees or fee splitting. Consequently, HMCA leases space and equipment to clients and provides clients with a range of non-medical administrative and managerial services for agreed upon fees. HMCA does not engage in the practice of medicine or establish standards of medical practice or policies for its clients in any State even where permitted. HMCA's clients generate revenue from patients covered by no-fault insurance and workers' compensation programs. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 approximately 43.0% of our clients' receipts were from patients covered by no- fault insurance and approximately 4.1% of our client's receipts were from patients covered by worker's compensation programs. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, approximately 59.3% of HMCA's clients' receipts were from patients covered by no-fault insurance and approximately 6.2% of HMCA's clients' receipts were from patients covered by workers compensation programs. In the event that changes in these laws alter the fee structures or methods of providing service, or impose additional or different requirements, HMCA could be required to modify its business practices and services in ways that could be more costly to HMCA or in ways that decrease the revenues which HMCA receives from its clients. HMCA believes that it and its clients are in compliance with applicable Federal, State and local laws. HMCA does not believe that such laws will have any material effect on its business. EMPLOYEES As of July 1, 2006, we employed 409 persons on a full-time and part-time basis. Of such employees, 45 were engaged in marketing and sales, 51 in research and development, 77 in production, 49 in customer support services, 187 in administration, including 97 on site at facilities and offices managed by HMCA and 54 performing billing, collection and transcription services for those facilities. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Fonar leases approximately 135,240 square feet of office and plant space at its principal offices in Melville, New York and at two other locations in Melville and Farmingdale, New York at a current aggregate annual rental rate of $1,138,060, excluding utilities, taxes and other related expenses. The term of one of the leases includes options to renew up through 2008 and the terms of the other leases extend to 2013. Management believes that these premises are adequate for its current needs. HMCA leases approximately 16,850 square feet for its headquarters in Melville, New York at a current annual rental rate of $450,463. The term of the lease extends through September, 2009. In addition, HMCA maintains leased office premises for its clients having an aggregate annual rental rate of approximately $803,000 under leases having various terms. ITEM 3.

At the present time, the only class of our securities for which there is a market is the Common Stock. During fiscal 2006 we received notices from NASDAQ that our common stock would be delisted unless the market price recovered and increased for at least ten consecutive trading days to $1.00 per share. Originally the date by which this was required to occur was June 20, 2006, but since FONAR was then in compliance with NASDAQ's other listing requirements, an extension of six months to December 20, 2006 was granted. We paid cash dividends in fiscal 1998 and the first three quarters of fiscal 1999 on monies we received from the enforcement of our patents. Except for these dividends, we have not paid any cash dividends. Except for these dividends, however, we expect that we will retain earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION. INTRODUCTION. Fonar was formed in 1978 to engage in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling MRI scanners. In 1997, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America, also referred to as "HMCA", formerly known as U.S. Health Management Corporation, in order to expand into the physician and diagnostic management services business. Fonar's principal MRI products are its Stand-Up(TM)/Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) MRI scanners. The Stand-Up(TM) MRI allows patients to be scanned for the first time under weight-bearing conditions. The Company has been aggressively seeking new sales and during fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively received orders for 18 and 30 Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. The Stand-Up(TM) MRI is the only MRI capable of producing images in the weight bearing state. In fiscal 2005, we received our first order for a 360(TM) MRI scanner, bringing the total number of orders for our MRI scanners to 31 in fiscal 2005. At 0.6 Tesla field strength, the Upright(TM) MRI and Fonar 360(TM) magnets are among the highest field open MRI scanners in the industry, offering non- claustrophobic MRI together with high-field image quality. Fonar's open MRI scanners were the first high field strength MRI scanners in the industry. HMCA commenced operations in July, 1997 and generates revenues from providing comprehensive management services, including development, administration, accounting, billing and collection services, together with office space, medical equipment, supplies and non-medical personnel to its clients. Revenues are in the form of fees which are earned under contracts with MRI facilities and physical rehabilitation practices. Since April 2003, HMCA has not engaged in the management of primary care medical practices. Since July 2005, HMCA has engaged only in the management of MRI facilities, having sold the portion of its business engaged in the management of physical therapy and rehabilitation practices. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, June 30, 2005, 95.2% and 96.2%, respectively, of HMCA's revenues were derived from contracts with facilities and practices owned by Dr. Raymond V. Damadian, the President of FONAR and HMCA and principal stockholder of FONAR. The agreements with the MRI facilities are for one-year terms which renew automatically on an annual basis, unless terminated. The fees are based on the number of procedures performed and currently range from $250 to $500 per MRI scan. The fees are reviewed and if appropriate, adjusted on an annual basis by mutual agreement. Effective as of June 1, 2005 agreements were entered into with new practices with the new owners of the physical therapy and rehabilitation practices who had no affiliation with Dr. Damadian, Fonar or HMCA. These agreements were assigned in connection with the sale of the portion of HMCA's business managing physical therapy and rehabilitation practices. Historically, adjustments were made on the basis of changes in HMCA's costs, plus a percentage of costs. The monthly fees under these contracts with the physical rehabilitation practices ranged from approximately $110,000 to $205,000. Critical Accounting Policies - ---------------------------- Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to investments, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We recognize revenue and related costs of revenue from sales contracts for our MRI scanners, under the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, we recognize revenue and related costs of revenue, as each sub-assembly is completed. Amounts received in advance of our commencement of production are recorded as customer advances. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of June 30, 2006, we recorded a valuation allowance which reduced our deferred tax assets to equal our deferred tax liability. We amortize our intangible assets, including patents, purchased management agreements and capitalized software development costs, over the shorter of the contractual/legal life or the estimated economic life. Our amortization life for patents, purchased management agreements and capitalized software development costs is 15 to 17 years, 20 years and 5 years, respectively. We periodically assess the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangibles and management agreements, when there are indications of potential impairment, based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of impairment is calculated by comparing anticipated discounted future cash flows with the carrying value of the related asset. In performing this analysis, management considers such factors as current results, trends, and future prospects, in addition to other economic factors. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. FISCAL 2006 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2005 In fiscal 2006, we experienced a net loss of $30.0 million on revenues of $33.1 million, as compared to a net income of $1.0 million on revenues of $104.9 million for fiscal 2005. This represents a decrease in revenues of 68.5%. This was due mostly to decreased product sales and management fees. In addition, notwithstanding decreased revenues, total cost and expenses decreased by only 39.2%. We have been reluctant to make drastic cuts to date because we anticipate that our sales results will improve and we will need to have maintained our current capacity. Our consolidated operating results decreased by $31.4 million to an operating loss of $29.7 million for fiscal 2006 as compared to an operating income of $1.7 million for fiscal 2005. Discussion of Operating Results of Medical Equipment Segment Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Revenues attributable to our medical equipment segment decreased by 75.7% to $19.7 million in fiscal 2006 from $81.3 million in fiscal 2005, reflecting a decrease in product sales revenues of 84.8%, from $73.1 million in fiscal 2005 to $11.1 million in fiscal 2006, offset by an increase in service revenue of 47.7%, from $5.8 million in fiscal 2005 to $8.6 million in fiscal 2006. This decline in revenues was attributable to a reduction in sales of our Upright(TM) MRI. Notwithstanding the dramatic decrease in revenues, which are recognized at certain benchmarks in the production of the scanner, the decline in orders was not as great, decreasing 41.9% from 31 scanners in fiscal 2005 to 18 scanners in fiscal 2006. We attribute this decline primarily to a concern on the part of potential customers about MRI scan reimbursements from medical insurance, no-fault insurance, worker's compensation and Federal and State programs, most significantly Medicare and Medicaid. Even in our own management of MRI facilities by HMCA, we have noticed an increasing resistance to paying claims by insurers. Also of concern is the Deficit Reduction Act which, if it becomes law, is expected to reduce Medicare funding available for MRI imaging. We anticipate an improvement in our Upright(TM) MRI sales because the Upright(TM) MRI is unique in that it permits MRI scans to be performed on patients upright in the weight-bearing state and in multiple positions that correlate with symptoms. An important event in our ongoing effort to educate both the medical community and payors about the benefits, if not necessity, of utilizing Upright(TM) MRI scanning, occurred subsequent to the end of fiscal 2006 when we sold an Upright(TM) MRI scanner to the largest orthopedic hospital in the Netherlands, St. Maartenskliniek. Upon placing the order, the Chairman of Spine Surgery at St. Maartenskliniek expressed the view that for their hospital to continue to engage in spine surgery without FONAR's Upright(TM) MRI technology, now that it was available was "unacceptable" and that owning the scanner "was not optional, but mandatory". He further stated that "[o]nce our active research program has discovered the benefits of this new FONAR technology for patients, we intend to publish the results in a lot of peer reviewed scientific journals". In addition, significant progress is being made in developing the FONAR 360(TM) MRI scanner so that it can be used in interventional procedures. At the Oxford-Nuffield site in the United Kingdom, where we installed the first FONAR 360(TM) MRI, FONAR software engineers have completed and installed our 2nd generation tracking software, which is designed to enable the surgeons to insert needles into the patient and accurately advance them under direct visual image guidance to the target tissue, such as a tumor, in order to inject therapeutic agents directly into the tissue. The increase in service revenue is a result primarily of our increase scanner base, as scanners sold in previous years become service customers after the warranty period expires. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively, we received orders for 18 and 30 Upright(TM) MRI scanners. In addition to 30 Upright(TM) MRI scanners, we received our first order for a Fonar 360(TM) scanner in fiscal 2005, the installation of which was completed in fiscal 2006. Product sales to unrelated parties decreased by 87.8% in fiscal 2006 from $66.9 million in fiscal 2005 to $8.2 million in fiscal 2006. Product sales to related parties decreased by 52.0% in fiscal 2006 from $6.2 million in fiscal 2005 to $3.0 million in fiscal 2006. We believe that one of our principal challenges in achieving greater market penetration is attributable to the better name recognition and larger sales forces of our larger competitors such as General Electric, Siemens, Hitachi, Philips and Toshiba and the ability of some of our competitors to offer attractive financing terms through affiliates, such as G.E. Capital. Nevertheless, no other competitor offers a whole body weight bearing MRI scanner such as the Upright(TM) MRI, and the General Electric Medical Systems division of General Electric acts as a manufacturer's representative for the Stand-Up(TM) MRI. We believe that our aggregate product sales to unrelated parties of Upright(TM) Scanners shows that we are successfully meeting that challenge. The operating results for the medical equipment segment declined by $25.5 million from an income of $752,000 in fiscal 2005 to a loss of $24.7 million in fiscal 2006. This decline is attributable to a decrease in our scanner sales. We recognized revenues of $10.5 million from the sale of our Upright(TM) MRI scanners and the balance of $383,589 from the sale of our first Fonar 360(TM) MRI scanner in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2005, we recognized revenues of $71.7 million from the sale of Upright(TM) MRI scanners and $764,031 from the sale of our first Fonar 360(TM) MRI scanner in fiscal 2005. Sales of MRI scanners to related parties, consisting of professional corporations and other entities in which Dr. Damadian or members of his family have an interest represented approximately 9.0%, or $3.0 million, of our revenues in fiscal 2006, as compared to 5.9%, or $6.2 million, of our revenues in fiscal 2005. We believe concerns about payor reimbursements adversely affected these sales as well as sales to unrelated parties. License and royalty revenue declined to $0.00 in fiscal 2006 from approximately $2.3 million in fiscal 2005. Research and development expenses, net of capitalized costs, increased by 14.3% to $6.9 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to $6.0 million in fiscal 2005. Our expenses for fiscal 2006 represented continued research and development of Fonar's scanners, Fonar's new hardware and software product, Sympulse(TM) and new surface coils to be used with the Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanner. Discussion of Operating Results of Physician and Diagnostic Services Management Segment. Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues attributable to the Company's physician and diagnostic services management segment, HMCA, decreased by 43.4% to $13.4 million in fiscal 2006 from $23.6 million in fiscal 2005. The decrease in revenues reflected decreases resulting from sale of HMCA's physical therapy and rehabilitation facility management business. HMCA has elected to manage only MRI facilities. Presently, ten of the 12 MRI facilities managed by HMCA have Upright(TM) MRI scanners and additional upgrades are planned. Cost of revenues as a percentage of the related revenues for our physician and diagnostic services management segment increased from $14.5 million or 61.3% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $9.4 million, or 70.4% of related revenue for the year ended June 30, 2006. This resulted from our inability to benefit from reduced costs per scanner that would have resulted if there had been a higher volume of sales in fiscal 2006. Operating results of this segment declined from an operating income of $912,000 in fiscal 2005 to operating loss of $5.0 million in fiscal 2006. We attribute the decline to HMCA's sale of its physical therapy and rehabilitation facility management business. Discussion of Certain Consolidated Results of Operations Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------- We recognized interest income of $809,691 in 2006 as compared to $546,648 in fiscal 2005, representing an increase of 48.1%. The increase was attributable primarily to an increase in interest rates on our investments in marketable securities. Interest expense of $281,903 was recognized in fiscal 2006, increasing from $232,227 in fiscal 2005 and representing a increase of 21.4%. The increase was attributable primarily to new capital lease obligations. Notwithstanding that revenue decreased by 68.5%, selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of compensatory element of stock issuances, decreased by 7.9% to $24.0 million in fiscal 2006 from $26.0 million in fiscal 2005. Essentially, we decided not to cut payroll and other overhead expenditures since we anticipate that sales will improve and we will be in a better position if we maintain our capacity. The decrease in compensatory element of stock issuances from approximately $3.1 million in fiscal 2005 to $1.9 million in fiscal 2006 reflected the continued but reduced use of Fonar's stock bonus plans to pay certain highly compensated employees and others in stock rather than in cash. The higher provision for bad debt of $1.5 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to $164,000 in fiscal 2005, reflected an increase in reserves and write-offs of certain indebtedness by our physician and diagnostic services management segment. This reflected a higher level of concern over the ability of HMCA's clients to pay past management fees due to issues and the settlement of issues with payors. We are enthusiastic about the future of our Upright(TM) MRI and FONAR 360(TM) scanners which bring a new plateau of openness to diagnostic MRI and are expected to bring a new frontier in performing MRI guided intervention. We believe our new products have begun to successfully penetrate the market, as reflected in the dramatic increase in product sales from approximately $6.1 million in fiscal 2001 to $11.6 million in fiscal 2002, to $24.9 million in fiscal 2003, to $43.0 million in fiscal 2004 and to $73.1 million in fiscal 2005, notwithstanding lower revenues of 11.1 million in fiscal 2006. In addition to our success with our Upright(TM) MRI, we received an order for our first Fonar 360(TM) in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Service and repair fees also have steadily increased, as reflected by the increase in service and repair fees from $2.0 million in fiscal 2001 to $2.2 million in fiscal 2002 to $2.5 million in fiscal 2003 to $3.2 million in fiscal 2004 to $5.8 million in fiscal 2005 and to $8.6 million in fiscal 2006. Continuing our tradition as the originator of MRI, we remain committed to maintaining our position as a leading innovator of the industry through aggressive investing in research and development. In fiscal 2006 we continued our investment in the development of our new MRI scanners, together with software and upgrades, with an investment of $7,581,898 in research and development, $714,253 of which was capitalized, as compared to $6,752,755, $745,994 of which was capitalized, in fiscal 2005. The research and development expenditures were approximately 38.5% of revenues attributable to our medical equipment segment, and 22.9% of total revenues, in 2006 and 8.3% of medical equipment segment revenues, and 6.4% of total revenues in fiscal 2005. This represented a 12.3% increase in research and development expenditures in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005. In summary, Fonar's trend of steadily increasing MRI scanner sales, most dramatically the increase in Upright(TM) MRI scanner sales revenues from fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2005, experienced a setback in fiscal 2006. We anticipate that scanner sales revenues will improve due to the unique capability of the Upright(TM) MRI scanner to scan patients in weight-bearing positions and future sales of the Fonar 360(TM) for image guided interventional procedures and treatments. Service revenues have increased over the past five fiscal years. The physician and diagnostic services management segment, HMCA, revenues increased, from $23.0 million in fiscal 2004 to $23.6 in fiscal 2005 and then decreased to $13.4 million in fiscal 2006. This is primarily attributed to the sale of HMCA's physical therapy and rehabilitation facility management business, which had generated revenues of $9.7 million in fiscal 2005. We have been taking steps to improve HMCA revenues by closing unprofitable facilities and continuing our program of replacing the MRI scanners at the MRI facilities we manage with Upright(TM) MRI scanners and opening new facilities equipped with Upright(TM) MRI scanners. Marketing expenditures are likely to increase, as the Company continues its efforts to promote sales. In the beginning of fiscal 2006, HMCA sold the portion of its business engaged in the management of physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities in July of 2005 to Health Plus Management Services, L.L.C. for a purchase price of $6.6 million, payable pursuant to a promissory note in 120 monthly installments. The first twelve installments are interest only and the remaining 108 payments will consist of equal installments of principal and interest in the amount of $76,014 each. The note is secured by a first lien on all of the assets of Health Plus, including its accounts receivable. The note is subject to prepayment provisions to the extent Health Plus resells all or part of the assets and business or utilizes the assets sold as collateral in any debt financing. HMCA had recognized revenue from the management of physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities of approximately $9.7 million during both fiscal 2005 and 2004, but only $648,000 in fiscal 2006 due to the sale of this portion of HMCA's business in July, 2005. In connection with this sale, HMCA recognized a diminimus loss during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. In addition, HMCA recorded a one time charge to earnings during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 of $1.6 million related to the termination of the employment contracts of the two principal individuals involved in the management of the physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. FISCAL 2005 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2004 In fiscal 2005, we experienced net income of $1.0 million on revenues of $104.9 million, as compared to a net loss of $9.5 million on revenues of $71.6 million for fiscal 2004. This represented an increase in revenues of 46.5%. This was due in part to the fact that while revenues increased by 46.5%, total costs and expenses increased by only 28.9%. Our consolidated operating results improved by $10.2 million to operating income of $1.7 million for fiscal 2005 as compared to an operating loss of $8.5 million for fiscal 2004. Discussion of Operating Results of Medical Equipment Segment Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Revenues attributable to our medical equipment segment increased by 67.1% to $81.3 million in fiscal 2005 from $48.6 million in fiscal 2004, reflecting an increase in product sales revenues of 70.2%, from $43.0 million in fiscal 2004 to $73.1 million in fiscal 2005 and an increase in service revenue of 80.6%, from $3.2 million in fiscal 2004 to $5.8 million in fiscal 2005. This improvement in revenues was attributable to an increase in sales of our Upright(TM) MRI. The increase in service revenue was a result primarily of our increased scanner base, as scanners sold in previous years became service customers after the warranty period expired. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively, we received orders for 30 and 39 Upright(TM) MRI scanners. In addition to 30 Upright(TM) MRI scanners, we received our first order for a Fonar 360(TM) MRI scanner. Confirming our expectation of increased demand for our MRI scanners, product sales to unrelated parties increased by 77.7% in fiscal 2005 from $37.7 million in fiscal 2004 to $66.9 million in fiscal 2005. Product sales to related parties increased by 16.8% in fiscal 2005 from $5.3 million in fiscal 2004 to $6.2 million in fiscal 2005. No other competitor offers a whole body weight bearing MRI scanner such as the Upright(TM) MRI, and the General Electric Medical Systems division of General Electric acts as a manufacturer's representative for the Upright(TM) MRI. The operating results for the medical equipment segment improved by $9.5 million from a loss of $8.8 million in fiscal 2004 to an income of $752,000 in fiscal 2005. This improvement was attributable to our continuing increase in recognition of revenues on our scanner sales. We recognized revenues of $71.7 million from the sale of our Upright(TM) MRI scanners and $764,031 from the sales of a FONAR 360(TM) MRI scanner in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2004, we recognized revenues of $42.7 million from the sale of Upright(TM) MRI scanners. Sales of MRI scanners to related parties, consisting of professional corporations and other entities in which Dr. Damadian or members of his family have an interest represented approximately 5.9%, or $6.2 million, of our revenues in fiscal 2005, as compared to 7.4%, or $5.3 million, of our revenues in fiscal 2004. License and royalty revenue declined by 4.3% to approximately $2.3 million in fiscal 2005 from approximately $2.4 million in fiscal 2004. Research and development expenses, net of capitalized costs, increased by 9.4% to $6.0 million in fiscal 2005 as compared to $5.5 million in fiscal 2004. Our expenses for fiscal 2005 represented continued research and development of Fonar's scanners, Fonar's new hardware and software product, Sympulse(TM) and new surface coils to be used with the Upright(TM) MRI scanner. Discussion of Operating Results of Physician and Diagnostic Services Management Segment. Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues attributable to the Company's physician and diagnostic services management segment, HMCA, increased by 2.8% to $23.6 million in fiscal 2005 from $23.0 million in fiscal 2004. The increase in revenues reflected anticipated increases provided by upgraded facilities. Cost of revenues as a percentage of the related revenues for our physician and diagnostic services management segment increased from $13.8 million or 60% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $14.5 million, or 61.3% of related revenue for the year ended June 30, 2005. Operating results of this segment improved from an operating loss of $308,000 in fiscal 2004 to operating income of $912,000 in fiscal 2005. We believe this improvement resulted from HMCA's focus on upgrading sites by the introduction of Upright(TM) MRI scanners at MRI facilities. Discussion of Certain Consolidated Results of Operations Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------- We recognized interest income of $546,648 in 2005 as compared to $448,571 in fiscal 2004, representing an increase of 21.9%. The increase was attributable primarily to an increase in interest rates on our investments in marketable securities. Interest expense of $232,227 was recognized in fiscal 2005 decreasing from $268,128 in fiscal 2004 and representing a decrease of 13.4%. The decrease was attributable primarily to the repayment of debt and capital lease obligations in fiscal 2004. Notwithstanding that revenue increased by 46.5%, selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of compensatory element of stock issuances, increased by only 6.2% to $26.6 million in fiscal 2005 from $25.1 million in fiscal 2004, accounting in part for our increase in net income. This increase was related to expenses incurred in our medical segment related to marketing and customer relations programs, such as participating in a trade show, increased commissions, and an in-house seminar for all owners of Upright MRI(TM) scanners and increased professional fees. A portion of the increased professional fees was related to the engagement of outside consultants to assist us in preparation of internal documentation in connection with our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition we incurred expenses in connection with the defense of non-material litigation. The decrease in compensatory element of stock issuances from approximately $4.1 million in fiscal 2004 to $3.1 million in fiscal 2005 reflected the continued but reduced use of Fonar's stock bonus plans to pay certain highly compensated employees and others in stock rather than in cash. The lower provision for bad debt of $164,000 in fiscal 2005 as compared to $331,000 in fiscal 2004, reflected a decrease in reserves and write-offs of certain indebtedness. The amortization expense of $634,000 in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, reflected the amortization of management agreements attributable to HMCA's acquisitions. Service and repair fees also increased, as reflected by the increase in service and repair fees from $1.7 million in fiscal 2000 to $2.0 million in fiscal 2001 to $2.2 million in fiscal 2002 to $2.5 million in fiscal 2003 to $3.2 million in fiscal 2004 and $5.8 million in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2005 we continued our investment in the development of our MRI scanners, together with software and upgrades, with an investment of $6,752,755 in research and development, $745,994 of which was capitalized, as compared to $6,079,797, $588,735 of which was capitalized, in fiscal 2004. The research and development expenditures were approximately 8.3% of revenues attributable to our medical equipment segment, and 6.4% of total revenues, in 2005 and 12.5% of medical equipment segment revenues, and 8.5% of total revenues in fiscal 2004. This represented a 11.1% increase in research and development expenditures in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 and our significantly higher total revenues and medical equipment revenues which resulted from our greater emphasis on marketing and selling. In summary, in fiscal 2005, Fonar continued the trend of steadily increasing MRI scanner sales, most dramatically the increase in Upright(TM) MRI scanner sales revenues and in service revenues from fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2005. The physician and diagnostic services management segment, HMCA, revenues also continued to increase, from $22.9 million in fiscal 2003 to $23.0 in fiscal 2004 and to $23.6 million in fiscal 2005. We also increased HMCA revenues by closing unprofitable facilities and continuing our program of replacing the MRI scanners at the MRI facilities with Upright(TM) MRI scanners and opening new facilities equipped with Upright(TM) MRI scanners. HMCA sold the portion of its business engaged in the management of physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities in July of 2005 to Health Plus Management Services, L.L.C. for a purchase price of $6.6 million, payable pursuant to a promissory note in 120 monthly installments. The first twelve installments are interest only and the remaining 108 payments consist of equal installments of principal and interest in the amount of $76,014 each. The note is secured by a first lien on all of the assets of Health Plus, including its accounts receivable. The note is subject to prepayment provisions to the extent Health Plus resells all or part of the assets and business or utilizes the assets sold as collateral in any debt financing. HMCA had recognized revenue from the management of physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities of approximately $9.7 million during both 2005 and 2004. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased by 36.4% from $14.9 million at June 30, 2005 to $9.5 million at June 30, 2006. Marketable securities approximated $4.9 million as of June 30, 2006, as compared to $9.4 million as of June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2006, we decreased our investments in U.S. Government obligations from approximately $3.8 million at June 30, 2005 to approximately $2.4 million, decreased our investments in corporate and government agency bonds from approximately $4.0 million at June 30, 2005 to approximately $1.8 million and decreased our investments in certificates of deposits, notes and equivalents from $1.6 million at June 30, 2005 to $575,000. Cash used in operating activities for fiscal 2006 approximated $2.6 million. Cash used in operating activities was attributable substantially to the net loss of 30.0 million offset by a decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings of $7.6 million, increase in customer advances of $3.8 million and increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings of 2.7 million. Cash provided by investing activities for fiscal 2006 approximated $909,000. The principal uses of cash from investing activities were purchases of marketable securities of $300,000, purchases of property and equipment of $2.4 million, costs of capitalized software development of $714,000 and costs of patents and copyrights of $443,000. The principal source of cash provided by investing activities was the sale of approximately $4.7 in marketable securities. Cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2006 approximated $692,000. The principal sources of cash in financing activities were proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $784,000 and proceeds of $555,000 from long-term debt, offset by the repayment of borrowings and capital lease obligations of $299,000 and distributions to holders of minority interests of $865,000. Total liabilities increased by 10.0% during fiscal 2006, from approximately $23.7 million at June 30, 2005 to approximately $26.1 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in total liabilities reflected principally a decrease in accounts payable of 42.3% from $8.5 million at June 30, 2005 to $4.9 million at June 30, 2006 and a increase in customer advances of 234.6% from $1.6 million at June 30, 2005 to $5.5 million at June 30, 2006, resulting from our increased backlog. Our obligations and the periods in which they are scheduled to become due are set forth in the following table: Due in Less Due Due Due than 1 in 1-3 in 4-5 after 5 Obligation Total Year years years years - ---------- ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Long-term debt $ 555,152 $ - $ - $ - $ 555,152 Capital lease Obligation 850,541 233,751 392,619 220,037 4,134 Operating leases 9,272,521 2,391,766 4,083,321 1,299,543 1,497,891 ------------ ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Total cash Obligations $10,678,214 $2,625,517 $4,475,940 $1,519,580 $2,057,177 ============ =========== =========== =========== =========== As at June 30, 2006, our obligations included approximately $2.2 million in various state sales taxes. Our working capital surplus as of June 30, 2006 approximates $14.2 million, as compared to a working capital surplus of $36.2 million as of June 30, 2005. In order to conserve our capital resources, we have issued common stock under our stock bonus and stock option plans to compensate employees and non- employees for services rendered. In fiscal 2006, the compensatory element of stock issuances was $1.9 million as compared to $3.1 million for fiscal 2005. Utilization of equity in lieu of cash compensation has improved our liquidity since it increases cash available for other expenditures. The foregoing trends in our capital resources are expected to improve as our MRI scanner products gain wider market acceptance and produce greater sales revenues. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2006 approximated $3.6 million and substantially consisted of leasehold improvement costs for new HMCA managed facilities and other equipment, in the amount of $2.4 million, capitalized software costs of $714,000, and capitalized patent costs of $443,000. Fonar has not committed to making capital expenditures in the 2007 fiscal year other than its intention to continue research and development expenditures at current levels. Our business plan currently includes an aggressive program for manufacturing and selling our new line of open MRI scanners. In addition, we are enhancing our revenue by participating in the physician and diagnostic services management business through our subsidiary, HMCA and are in the process of upgrading the facilities which it manages, most significantly by the replacement of existing MRI scanners with new Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. Our business plan calls for a continuing emphasis on providing our customers with enhanced equipment service and maintenance capabilities and delivering state-of-the-art, innovative and high quality equipment upgrades at competitive prices. Fees for on-going service and maintenance from our installed base of scanners were $5.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 and $8.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. We believe that the above mentioned financial resources, anticipated cash flows from operations and potential financing sources, will provide the cash flows needed to achieve the sales, service and production levels necessary to support its operations.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ------------------------------------------------------- To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of FONAR Corporation and Subsidiaries We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting, that FONAR Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006 based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006 of the Company and our report dated September 13, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Our report emphasizes that during each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006 a significant portion of the Company's revenue was from related parties. /s/Marcum & Kliegman LLP New York, New York September 13, 2006

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Description of Business - ----------------------- FONAR Corporation (the "Company" or "FONAR") is a Delaware corporation, which was incorporated on July 17, 1978. FONAR is engaged in the research, development, production and marketing of medical scanning equipment, which uses principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI") for the detection and diagnosis of human diseases. In addition to deriving revenues from the direct sale of MRI equipment, revenue is also generated from its installed-base of customers through its service and upgrade programs. Health Management Corporation of America ("HMCA") was organized by the Company in March 1997, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, in order to enable the Company to expand into the business of providing comprehensive management services to physicians' practices and other medical providers, including diagnostic imaging centers and ancillary services. The services provided by the Company include development, administration, leasing of office space, facilities and medical equipment, provision of supplies, staffing and supervision of non-medical personnel, legal services, accounting, billing and collection and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies. HMCA entered the physician and diagnostic management services business through the consummation of two acquisitions in fiscal 1997, two acquisitions in fiscal 1998, and one acquisition consummated in fiscal 1999. The acquired companies in all cases were actively engaged in the business of managing medical providers. The medical providers are diagnostic imaging centers, principally MRI scanning centers, multi-specialty practices and primary care practices. On April 8, 2003, HMCA sold all of its issued and outstanding stock of A&A Services, Inc., a physician practice management services organization engaged in the business of managing four primary care practices. On July 28, 2005, HMCA sold the assets consisting principally of the management agreements with the physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities, the assignment of other agreements and rights utilized in the physical therapy and rehabilitation facility management business, the physical therapy equipment, a portion of the accounts receivable and furniture and fixtures HMCA provided to the physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities (see Note 3 and 24). As a result of the sale on July 28, 2005, HMCA is only managing diagnostic imaging centers. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company's principal source of liquidity has been cash flows provided by operations. The Company's management currently expects this to continue. At June 30, 2006, the Company had working capital of $14,237,190. For the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred a net loss of $29,963,357, which included non-cash charges and expenses satisfied by the issuance of common stock of approximately $12,177,000. In order to conserve our capital resources the Company has and will continue to issue, from time to time, common stock and stock options to compensate employees and non-employees for goods and services. The Company is focusing on increased advertising and marketing campaigns and distribution programs to increase the
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued) - ------------------------------------------ demand for FONAR's products. Management anticipates that FONAR's capital resources will improve as Fonar's MRI scanner products gain wider market recognition and acceptance resulting in increased product sales. Given our June 30, 2006 cash and marketable securities balance of $9,494,522 and the Company's forecasted cash requirements, the Company's management anticipates that the Company's existing capital resources, funds generated from operations and funds expected to be received from note repayments, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash flow requirements through at least June 30, 2007. Should sales be less than forecast and expenses higher than anticipated, the Company may need to seek alternative sources of funds through the issuance of equity or debt financing or other alternatives including streamlining operations. There is no guarantee that such additional financing will be available if needed or that the Company will be able to significantly streamline operations. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation - --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FONAR Corporation, its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates - ---------------- The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates relate to accounts receivable allowances, intangible assets, income taxes, useful lives of property and equipment, contingencies, revenue recognition and litigation. In addition, healthcare industry reforms and reimbursement practices will continue to impact the Company's operations and the determination of contractual and other allowance estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment in Marketable Securities - ----------------------------------- The Company accounts for its investments using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). This standard requires that certain debt and equity securities be adjusted to market value at the end of each accounting period. Unrealized market value gains and losses are charged to operations if the securities are traded for short-term profit. Otherwise, such unrealized gains and losses are charged or credited to comprehensive income (loss).
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Investment in Marketable Securities (Continued) - ----------------------------------- Management determines the proper classifications of investments in obligations with fixed maturities and marketable equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, all securities covered by SFAS No. 115 were designated as available for sale. Accordingly, these securities are stated at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in investment income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Inventories - ----------- Inventories consist of purchased parts, components and supplies, as well as work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of cost determined on the first- in, first-out method or market. Property and Equipment - ---------------------- Property and equipment procured in the normal course of business is stated at cost. Property and equipment purchased in connection with an acquisition is stated at its estimated fair value, generally based on an appraisal. Property and equipment is being depreciated for financial accounting purposes using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives, generally five to seven years, or the term of a capital lease, if applicable. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses totaled approximately $434,000, $738,000 and $598,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Management Agreements - --------------------- Amounts allocated to management agreements, in connection with two acquisitions completed during the period from June 1997 through August 1998, were amortized using the straight-line method over the 20-year term of the agreements. These management agreements were sold on July 28, 2005 (see Notes 3 and 24).
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Other Intangible Assets - ----------------------- 1) Capitalized Software Development Costs Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility for the Company's computer software is generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high risk development issues and the completion of research and development on the product hardware in which it is to be used. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technology. Amortization of capitalized software development costs commences when the related products become available for general release to customers. Amortization is provided on a product by product basis. The annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized software development costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. 2) Patents and Copyrights Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over a period ranging from 15 to 17 years. Long-Lived Assets - ----------------- The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangibles, when there are indications of potential impairment, based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of impairment is calculated by comparing anticipated discounted future cash flows with the carrying value of the related asset. In performing this analysis, management considers such factors as current results, trends, and future prospects, in addition to other economic factors.
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Other Intangible Assets (Continued) - ----------------------- Revenue Recognition - ------------------- Revenue on sales contracts for scanners, included in "product sales" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. The Company manufactures its scanners under specific contracts that provide for progress payments. Production and installation take approximately three to six months. The percentage of completion is determined by the ratio of costs incurred to date on completed sub-assemblies to the total estimated cost for each scanner. Contract costs include purchased parts and components, direct labor and overhead. Revisions in cost estimates and provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, if any, are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The asset, "Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts", represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts", represents amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized. Revenue on scanner service contracts is recognized on the straight-line method over the related contract period, usually one year. Revenue from sales of other items is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from sales-type leases are recognized when collectibility of the minimum lease payments is reasonably predictable and no important uncertainties surround the amount of unreimbursable costs yet to be incurred by the Company as lessor under the lease. The minimum lease payments, plus the unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of the Company as lessor, are recorded as the gross investment in the lease. The difference between the gross investment in the lease and the sum of the present value of the minimum lease payments and unguaranteed residual value, accruing to the Company's benefit as lessor, are recorded as unearned income. Revenue under management and lease contracts is recognized based upon contractual agreements for management services rendered by the Company and leases of medical equipment primarily under various long-term agreements with related medical providers (the "PCs"). The PCs are primarily owned by Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., President and Chairman of the Board of FONAR. The Company's agreements with the PCs stipulate fees for services rendered and equipment leased, are primarily calculated on activity based efforts at pre-determined rates per unit of activity. All fees are re-negotiable at the anniversary of the agreements and each year thereafter.
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Research and Development Costs - ------------------------------ Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of materials and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses (either in research and development, marketing or production), are classified as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Advertising Costs - ----------------- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense approximated $936,000, $1,604,000 and $2,576,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Shipping Costs - -------------- The Company's shipping and handling costs are included under costs related to product sales. Income Taxes - ------------ Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Customer Advances - ----------------- Cash advances and progress payments received on sales orders are reflected as customer advances until such time as revenue recognition begins. Minority Interest - ----------------- The Company records adjustments to minority interest for the allocable portion of income or loss that the minority interest holders are entitled based upon their portion of certain of the subsidiaries that they own. Distributions to holders of minority interests are adjusted to the respective minority interest holders' balance.
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Minority Interest (Continued) - ----------------- The Company suspends allocation of losses to minority interest holders when the minority interest balance for a particular minority interest holder is reduced to zero. Any excess loss above the minority interest holders' balance is not charged to minority interest as the minority interest holders have no obligation to fund such losses. Stock Options and Warrants and Similar Equity Instruments and Earnings (Loss) Per Share - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF 03-6"), "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128" ("EITF 03-6"), which nullifies EITF Topic D-95, "Effect of Participating Convertible Securities on the Computation of Basic Earnings Per Share," in periods when there is net income, the Company uses the two-class method to calculate the effect of the Company's participating convertible securities on basic EPS, which include the Class A Non-voting Preferred stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock, and the if-converted method is used to calculate the effect of participating convertible securities on diluted EPS. In addition, these participating convertible securities were not included in the computation of basic EPS for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2004 because the participating securities did not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. 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. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants of approximately 660,000 as of June 30, 2005 has not been included in the computation of diluted EPS since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants or conversion of the participating convertible securities that were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation, because they are antidilutive as a result of the net losses, was as follows: 7,108,204 and 7,690,392 as of June 30, 2006 and 2004, respectively.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Stock Options and Warrants and Similar Equity Instruments and Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Continued) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R requires the compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued on the grant date of such instruments, and will be recognized over the period during which an individual is required to provide service in exchange for the award (typically the vesting period). SFAS 123R covers a wide range of stock-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee stock purchase plans. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB Opinion 25. The Company has adopted SFAS 123R as of July 1, 2005. As of June 30, 2006 all options were fully vested and during the year ended June 30, 2006 the Company granted to an employee 50,000 options to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $1.00. Accordingly, no additional compensation charge was required because the value of these options was determined to be diminimus and therefore there was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the fair value as measured under SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123R's fair value method did not have a significant impact on our result of operations. However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the following table. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather that as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. It is unlikely that the Company will have near term benefits from tax deductions. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. The Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future because of various factors, including but not limited to the timing of employee exercises and whether the Company will be in a taxable position. At this time, there would be not tax impact related to the prior periods since the Company has a net loss.
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Stock Options and Warrants and Similar Equity Instruments and Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Continued) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the period ending prior to July 1, 2005, as permitted under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transaction and Disclosure", which amended SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company had elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25. "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in operations, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and income (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation: For the Years Ended June 30, ----------------------------- 2005 2004 ------------- ------------- Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Stockholders, as Reported $ 943,768 $ (9,494,383) Deduct: Total stock-based employee Compensation expense determined under fair value based method for 216,362 438,751 all awards ------------- ------------- Proforma Net Income (Loss) $ 727,406 $ (9,933,134) ============= ============= Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share, as Reported $ 0.01 $(0.10) ====== ======= Basic and Diluted Proforma Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share $ 0.01 $(0.11) ====== =======

Cash and Cash Equivalents - ------------------------- The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash or cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk - ---------------------------- Cash: The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions, which exceed federally insured limits throughout the year. At June 30, 2006, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $3,536,000 in excess of federally insured limits. Related Parties: Net revenues from related parties accounted for approximately 50%, 29% and 40% of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - ----------------------------------- The financial statements include various estimated fair value information at June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, as required by SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". Such information, which pertains to the Company's financial instruments, is based on the requirements set forth in that Statement and does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value to the Company.
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) - ----------------------------------------------- The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Accounts receivable and accounts payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Investment in sales-type leases and investments, advances and notes to related medical practices: The carrying amount approximates fair value because the discounted present value of the cash flow generated by the related parties approximates the carrying value of the amounts due to the Company. Long-term debt and notes payable: The carrying amounts of debt and notes payable approximate fair value due to the length of the maturities, the interest rates being tied to market indices and/or due to the interest rates not being significantly different from the current market rates available to the Company. All of the Company's financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading. Comprehensive Income (Loss) - --------------------------- Comprehensive income (loss) generally includes all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by stockholders and distributions to stockholders. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - -------------------------------- In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB No. 3." This statement requires retrospective application of prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine the period specific effects, or the cumulative effect of the change. This pronouncement will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Currently, the Company does not have changes in accounting principle, the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued) - -------------------------------- In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-An Amendment of FASB No. 133 and 140. The purpose of SFAS statement No. 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No.155 also eliminates the restriction on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of any entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard on July 1, 2007 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an Amendment of SFAS No. 140 SFAS No. 156 requires separate recognition of a servicing asset and a servicing liability each time an entity undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. This statement also requires that servicing assets and liabilities be initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to the fair value at the end of each reporting period. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard on July 1, 2007 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting of Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is assessing the impact of this Interpretation on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material effect. Investment At Cost - ------------------ The Company has a 20% equity interest in an unconsolidated entity. The income on this investment is included under other income (expense). Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not have any effect on reported net (losses) income for any periods presented.
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 3 - MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS In connection with two acquisitions completed in June of 1997 and August of 1998, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to various long-term management agreements. These management agreements were sold on July 28, 2005 (see Note 24). The cost, accumulated amortization and net carrying value at June 30, 2005 is as follows: As of June 30, 2005 ------------------- Acquisition Accumulated Net Carrying Date Cost Amortization Value ----------- ---------- ------------ ------------- Affordable Diagnostics, Inc. June 1997 $1,441,684 $ 1,441,684 $ - Dynamic Health Care Management, Inc.

On May 23, 2005, HMCA and Dynamic terminated their management agreements with three related physical medicine practices, under which HMCA and Dynamic were managing six physical medicine facilities. Commensurate with this termination, HMCA and Dynamic entered into new management agreements with four unrelated medical practices to manage five of the same physical medicine facilities. Pursuant to the Termination and Replacement Agreements, the related medical practices assigned to HMCA and Dynamic medical receivables valued at $11,775,000 in consideration of management fees outstanding of $7,669,993 and termination fees of $4,105,007. The balance of the medical receivables as of June 30, 2006 is $6,053,007. The $4,105,007 was accounted for as a recovery of the capitalized management agreements, with $2,277,956 allocated to the Affordable Diagnostics, Inc. capitalized management agreements and $1,827,052 allocated to the Dynamic Healthcare Management, Inc. capitalized management agreements. The Termination and Replacement Agreements required the related physical medicine practices to replace five of the six management agreements, which HMCA and Dynamic were managing. In the event that the related medical practices did not replace the management agreements, the related medical practices would be obligated to continue to pay the monthly management fees under the cancelled agreements until a total of $4,000,000 was received. As noted above, the five management agreements were replaced on May 23, 2005. On July 28, 2005, the management agreements, along with certain related assets, were sold (see Note 24).

Management Fee Receivable - ------------------------- The Company's receivable from the related and non-related PCs substantially consists of fees outstanding under management agreements. Payment of the outstanding fees is dependent on collection by the PCs of fees from third party medical reimbursement organizations, principally insurance companies and health management organizations.
FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 5 - MANAGEMENT FEE RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (Continued) Collection by the Company of its management fee receivable may be impaired by the uncollectibility of PCs medical fees from third party payors, particularly insurance carriers covering automobile no-fault and workers compensation claims due to longer payment cycles and rigorous informational requirements. Approximately 47%, 66% and 65%, respectively, of the PCs 2006, 2005 and 2004 net revenues 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 and contractual allowances. The Company generally takes all legally available steps, including legally prescribed arbitrations, to collect its receivables. Credit losses associated with the receivables are provided for in the consolidated financial statements and have historically been within management's expectations. Net revenues from management and other fees charged to the related PCs accounted for approximately 38%, 22% and 32%, of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Unaudited Financial Information of Unconsolidated Managed Medical Practices - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Audited financial information related to the unconsolidated related PCs managed by the Company is not available.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 5 - MANAGEMENT FEE RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (Continued) 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. Bad debt expense has been within management's expectations and, generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 12 - CAPITAL STOCK (Continued) Options - ------- The Company has stock option plans, which provide for the awarding of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants who may contribute to the success of the Company. The options granted vest either immediately or ratably over a period of time from the date of grant, typically three or four years, at a price determined by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors, generally the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The options must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant. FONAR's 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "FONAR 1993 Plan"), adopted on March 26, 1993, was intended to qualify as an incentive stock option plan under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) 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. In March 2005, the Company settled a litigation for $550,000, which arose during the installation of a scanner when an employee of a customer's subcontractor was injured. The Company believed that it was not at fault but elected to settle the case to avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation. At June 30, 2004, the Company reserved $200,000 in anticipation of a settlement. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded an additional $350,000 shown in other expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, to reflect the balance of the settlement (see Note 17). Certain no-fault insurers have raised issues concerning whether the Company's clients the "PC's" are in compliance with certain laws, including, but not limited to, laws governing their corporate structure and/or licensing, their entitlement or standing to seek and/or obtain no-fault benefits, and/or laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine, fee-splitting and/or physician self referrals. To the extent any claims are asserted against the PC's, the settlement of such claims could result in the PC's waiving their rights to collect certain of their insurance claims. Management believes that the Company and the PC's are not in violation of any of the above mentioned laws. Since the resolution or settlement of these claims with the insurance companies could have a material impact on the collection of management fees by the Company from its PC's, the Company has provided reserves for uncollectable fees related to this matter. Potential Delisting of the Company's Common Stock - ------------------------------------------------- The Company received written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market on December 22, 2005 that the bid price of its common stock for the last 30 consecutive trading days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the "Rule"). Pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until June 20, 2006, to regain compliance. The notice states that the Company has achieved compliance with the Rule if at any time before June 20, 2006 the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. The Company has been granted an extension to achieve compliance until December 20, 2006. If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance with the bid price rule by December 20, 2006, than the Staff will provide written notice that the Company's securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel.

("Health Plus"), pursuant to which HMCA and its subsidiary Dynamic sold to Health Plus the portion of their business which was engaged in the business of managing physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities, together with the assets used in the conduct of such business. The assets sold consisted principally of the management agreements with the physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities, the assignment of other agreements and rights utilized in the Company's physical therapy equipment, a portion of the accounts receivable and furniture and fixtures the Company provided to the physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities. The sale was made to Health Plus. There is no material relationship between Health Plus and FONAR, HMCA or Dynamic, or any of their respective directors or officers or associates of any such person. The two principals of Health Plus were employed by HMCA and Dynamic up to the time of the closing of the transaction in HMCA's physical therapy and rehabilitation facility management business. In consideration for the termination of their employment agreement, these two individuals each became entitled to receive $800,000. In addition, each became entitled to receive $200,000 for billing and collection services to be provided on behalf of HMCA and Dynamic with respect to a portion of the accounts receivable of certain physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities which arose during the period when HMCA was engaged in the management of those facilities. The $1,000,000 payable to each of these individuals was satisfied in shares of FONAR common stock. During the year the Company issued 1,871,490 shares totaling $1,995,675. The remaining balance under this obligation at June 30, 2006 is $4,325 which is included in other current liabilities. The Company capitalized $400,000 with respect to collection services. During the year ended June 30, 2006, $400,000 was charged to compensatory element of stock. The purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement was $6.6 million, payable pursuant to a promissory note (the "Note") in 120 monthly installments commencing on August 28, 2005. The first twelve installments are interest only and the remaining 108 payments will consist of equal installments of principal and interest in the amount of $76,014 each. The Note is secured by a first lien on all of the assets of Health Plus, including its accounts receivable. The Note is subject to prepayment provisions to the extent Health Plus resells all or part of the assets and business or utilizes the assets sold as collateral in any debt financing. The note provides for interest at 5% per annum. The fair value assigned to the note was $6,078,068 reflecting a discount of $521,932 for the below market interest rate.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. There have been no disagreements with our independent registered public accounting firm or other matters requiring disclosure under Regulation S-K, Item 304(b). ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures We have performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). As of the end of the period covered by this report (June 30, 2005), our disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be effective. MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Pursuant to Item 308(a) of Regulation S-K, we are required to furnish an annual management report on our internal control of our financial reporting concurrently with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In order to issue our report, management documented both the design of our internal controls and the testing processes that support management's evaluation and conclusion. Our management has completed the necessary processes and procedures for issuing its report on internal controls based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As of June 30, 2006, management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and based on this assessment, management has determined that as of June 30, 2006, there were no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. In the absence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, Fonar Corporation and Subsidiaries did have effective internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") Auditing Standard No. 2, a material weakness is a significant control deficiency or a combination of significant control deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Marcum & Kleigman LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, which audited our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued its attestation report on our management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. Background. Between 1990 and 1996, Raymond V. Damadian, M.D. MRI Scanning Centers Management Company, also referred to as "RVDC", a Delaware corporation of which Dr. Damadian was the sole stockholder, director and President, purchased and leased scanners from FONAR to establish a network of professional corporations operating MRI scanning centers, also referred to as the "Centers", in New York, Florida, Georgia and other locations. Dr. Raymond V. Damadian is the Chairman, President and principal stockholder of FONAR and also the owner, director and President of each of these professional corporations. RVDC provided the necessary management and the scanners to the Centers, although in certain situations, a Center would acquire the scanner directly from FONAR. ACQUISITION OF RVDC. Effective June 30, 1997, Fonar's wholly-owned subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America, also referred to as "HMCA", formerly known as U.S. Health Management Corporation, acquired RVDC by purchasing all of the issued and outstanding shares of RVDC from Dr. Damadian for 10,000 shares of the Common Stock of FONAR. The transactions can be rescinded by Dr. Damadian, however, in the event of a change of control in FONAR or the bankruptcy of FONAR. There is no time limit on the right to rescind. In connection with the transaction, FONAR granted RVDC a nonexclusive royalty free license to Fonar's patents and software. These licenses may be terminated by FONAR in the event of the bankruptcy of RVDC or a change in control of RVDC. AGREEMENTS WITH HMCA. Effective July 1, 1997, new management agreements were entered into by the Centers and HMCA. Since that time certain of the original Centers have been closed and new Centers opened. Each new Center also entered into a management agreement with HMCA. Pursuant to the management agreements, HMCA is providing comprehensive management and administrative services and office facilities, including billing and collection of accounts, payroll and accounts payable processing, supplies and utilities to the Centers. Under the management agreements, HMCA provides service through FONAR for the scanners at the Centers. In total, 12 MRI Centers have management agreements with HMCA. Dr. Damadian is the stockholder, director and president of each of the Centers. HMCA entered the business of performing management services for physical therapy and rehabilitation practices beginning with the acquisition of Dynamic Health Care Management, Inc., also referred to as Dynamic, in August, 1998. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 the professional corporations owned by Dr. Damadian ceased operation of these facilities and new professional corporations owned by physicians not affiliated with Dr. Damadian, HMCA, Dynamic or Fonar commenced operations at these sites. In connection with this change, the professional corporations owned by Dr. Damadian entered into termination agreements with HMCA and Dynamic. Pursuant to these agreements, the professional corporations owned by Dr. Damadian, assigned accounts receivable to HMCA and Dynamic, in payment of unpaid management fees and termination fees, in the aggregate amount of $11,775,000. In the beginning of fiscal 2006, on July 28, 2005, HMCA sold the portion of its business managing physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities for $6.6 million, payable over a period of ten years, and in connection therewith, assigned its management agreements with the new professional corporations of the new physician owners to the buyer. Neither the new physician owners nor the purchaser are affiliated with us. The fees to HMCA under the management agreements with the MRI Centers are based on the number of procedures performed. The per procedure charges to the MRI Centers ranged from $250 to $500 per MRI scan. The fees to HMCA under the management agreements with the physical therapy and rehabilitation practices were flat fees charged on a monthly basis. The monthly fees to the physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities ranged from approximately $110,000 to $205,000. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 the net revenues received by HMCA from the MRI Centers owned by Dr. Damadian were approximately $12.7 million and $13.9 million respectively, and the net revenues received from the physical therapy and rehabilitation practices were $648,000, and $9.7 million respectively. OTHER TRANSACTIONS On June 30, 1994, Melville MRI, P.C., also referred to as the "Melville Center", a New York professional corporation of which Raymond V. Damadian is the sole shareholder, director and President, purchased the scanner being utilized at its site from the Company for a purchase price of $1,011,431.12, which in Fonar's opinion represented a fair market price based on sales of like equipment by Fonar to its customers. Of the purchase price, $900,000 was to be paid by the assumption and payment of our indebtedness to the lender secured by the scanner. In fiscal 2001, following the payment in full by Fonar, as guarantor, of the indebtedness due to the lender, there was as a result a balance of $893,606 then owing to Fonar by the Melville Center.
