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 provides copies of its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and amendments to these reports to stockholders on request. " We conduct our business in two segments. Our medical equipment segment is conducted directly through Fonar. Our physician management and diagnostic services segment is conducted through our subsidiary Health Management ). HMCA performs services through two subsidiaries. In fiscal 2011, HMCA assigned its Corporation of America (“ assets and liabilities to a limited liability company, Imperial Management Services, LLC ( ”) for a controlling interest in Imperial. In addition to Imperial, in fiscal 2013, HMCA purchased a 50.5% interest in another limited liability company, Health Diagnostic Management, LLC ( ). HMCA provides management services, administrative services, billing and collection services, office space, equipment, repair, maintenance service, and clerical and other non-medical personnel to medical providers. Imperial HMCA ” HDM ” “ “ Fonar is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling and servicing magnetic resonance imaging scanners, also referred to as or "MR" scanners, which utilize MRI technology for the detection and diagnosis of human disease, abnormalities, other medical conditions and injuries. Fonar ’ s founders built the first scanner in 1977 and Fonar introduced the first commercial MRI scanner in 1980. Fonar is also the originator of the iron-core non-superconductive and permanent magnet technology. " MRI " 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® Multi-Position™” MRI scanner (also referred to as the Upright®” or “Stand-Up® MRI scanner) and the Fonar 360™ MRI scanner. “ ” The product we are now most vigorously promoting is our Upright® MRI. Our patented Upright MRI is unique in the industry in that it allows patients to be scanned in fully weight-bearing conditions, such as standing, sitting or bending in any position that causes adverse symptoms. This means that an abnormality or injury, such as a slipped disk can be visualized where it may not have been with the patient lying down. We have introduced the name “Upright ®” as an alternative to “Stand-UP because of the multiplicity of positions in which the patient may be scanned where the patient is not standing. ®” ® See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for separate financial information regarding our medical equipment and physician and diagnostic management services segments. 4 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. forward-looking statements " Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are " , 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® MRI (also known as the “Stand-Up® MRI”) and Fonar 360™ . ® MRI is The Upright MRI permits, for the first time, MRI diagnoses to be made in the weight-bearing state. The Upright the only MRI scanner that allows patients to be scanned while standing, sitting, bending or lying down. This means that an abnormality or injury, such as a slipped disk, will be able to be scanned under full weight-bearing conditions, which is more often than not the position in which the patient experiences pain. An adjustable bed allows patients to stand, sit or lie on their backs, sides or stomachs. The Upright MRI may also be useful for MRI-guided interventional procedures. ® ® ® An important application of the Fonar Upright 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 there is 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. The brain structure entrapped ” in Chiari Syndrome are the lowest lying structures of the brain, the tonsils of the cerebelium. The Chiari Syndrome is therefore alternately named Cerebellar Ectopia (CTE) indicating the displacement (ectopia) of these Cerebellar tonsils in this syndrome. 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 temporary neuromuscular paralysis which then subsides while the patient is lying in a horizontal position. “ ” “ 5 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The Fonar Upright® MRI has demonstrated its key value on two current patients with Chiari Syndrome showing that the conventional lie-down MRI scanners cannot make an adequate evaluation where the patient s pathology is most visible and where symptoms are most acute when the patient is upright. A recent publication in the Journal “Brain Injury ” (Brain Injury 2010, 24 (7-8) 988-994) of 1,200 neck pain patients reported that the fallen cerebellar tonsils of the brain (CTE) were missed 75% of the time when the patient was scanned only in the recumbent position. 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. ’ In February 2011, FONAR sold an UPRIGHT ® MRI to a neuroscience spine institute in the Northeast. The group that purchased the MRI said they wanted the best diagnostic device available to allow them to be a “center of excellence for the spine.” They had considered other state-of-the-art MRI scanners including those with field strengths of 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla, but those were single-position (recumbent only) and not weight-bearing systems. The buyers firmly believed that in order for them to be a “center of excellence for the spine,” it was crucial for them to have an MRI that could evaluate the spine in its full range of dynamic weight-bearing positions. In June 2011, FONAR sold an Upright® MRI to another medical practice dedicated to being a center of excellence for the Hoorman M. Melamed, MD, FAOOS, a board-certified orthopaedic spine surgeon, and a principal at the spine.” Bakersfield UPRIGHT MRI Center, said, “Selection of the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI for our group was a very careful and deliberate decision. We recognize that the UPRIGHT® MRI offers capabilities beyond that of a recumbent-only MRI. The UPRIGHT MRI allows for scanning patients weight-bearing and the dynamic positions of flexion and extension. This allows us to see and evaluate the spine under load of a patient’s pathology thus enabling us to avoid underestimating a patient s pathology and therefore obtaining a better diagnosis.” ® “ ’ Another milestone in the utilization of the FONAR Upright® " "Brain Injury (July 2010) of a study of 1,200 neck pain patients. The study was published by 10 authors from distinguished universities in the United States and around the world. The study reported that Cerebellar Tonsil Herniation (CTE) was missed 75% of the time when the patient was scanned recumbent instead of upright. At the current rate of 1,000,000 automobile whiplash injuries in the U.S. per year, 600,000 patients each year would have the pathology responsible for their symptoms go undetected if they were examined solely in a conventional recumbent-only MRI. MRI was the publication in the medical journal ® We are emphasizing sales of the Upright MRI which we regard as our most promising scanner product. Nevertheless, because of uncertain economic conditions and the resulting weakening demand, revenues recognized from the sale of Upright ® MRI scanners decreased in fiscal 2013 by 49.2% from fiscal 2012 (approximately $6.3 million in fiscal 2012 compared to approximately $3.2 million in fiscal 2013). The following chart shows the revenues attributable to our different model scanners for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013. 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 or payments received. 6 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Model Revenues Recognized Upright® Fonar 360™ $ $ Fiscal 2012 6,335,198 0 $ $ Fiscal 2013 3,217,929 0 ). Class B membership interests, all of which were retained by the Company’ The Company completed a private placement of equity and succeeded in raising $6,000,000 on May 2, 2011. The offering consisted of Preferred Class A membership interests in a newly formed limited liability company, Imperial Management Services, LLC (“Imperial s subsidiary, HMCA, ” hold a 75% equity interest in Imperial. The Class A membership interests are entitled to receive a dividend of 18% per annum of their capital contributions to the limited liability company. HMCA contributed all of its assets, together with its liabilities, to Imperial as HMCA’ s capital contribution. The Imperial operating agreement provides for the Class A members to receive priority distributions until their original capital contributions are returned. As of June 30, 2013, Imperial, through HMCA, managed 11 diagnostic imaging facilities located in the states of New York and Florida. Approximately 40% of the Class A membership interests had been redeemed as of the end of fiscal 2013 (equivalent to 11% of the A and B membership interests in the aggregate). As a result of the transaction, Imperial also has a 50% controlling interest in an entity that provides management services to a diagnostic center in the New York Metropolitan area. On February 13, 2013, HMCA entered into an agreement with outside investors to acquire a 50.5% controlling interest in a newly formed limited liability company, Health Diagnostics Management, LLC (HDM). During March 2013 HMCA contributed $20,200,000 to HDM for its controlling membership interest, and the outside investors contributed $19,800,000 for their non-controlling membership interests. To fund HMCA ’ s capital contribution to HDM, Fonar borrowed a total of $14 million from a bank in the form of a term loan aggregating $11 million and a revolving credit loan aggregating $3 million. The term loan is payable in 60 consecutive monthly installments, commencing October 1, 2013. The term loan bears interest at 4.75% per annum and is payable monthly. The revolving credit loan is due March 5, 2016. Fonar can prepay the loan in whole or in part in multiples of $100,000 at any time without penalty. The revolving credit note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum and is payable monthly. All borrowings under the loan agreements are collateralized by substantially all of Fonar’s assets. The loan agreements also contain certain financial covenants that must be met on a periodic basis. In turn, Fonar lent the funds to HMCA, which then contributed the funds to HDM in exchange for HMCA s 50.5% equity interest. As of June 30, 2013, Fonar had prepaid $600,000 of principal of the loan. ’ On March 5, 2013 HDM purchased from Health Diagnostics, LLC ( “HD ) and certain of its subsidiaries, a business managing 14 MRI scanning centers, 12 of which have Upright MRI scanners, located in the States of New York and Florida for a total purchase price (including consideration of $1.5 million to outside investors) aggregating $35.9 million. Concurrently with the acquisition, HDM entered into several consulting and non-competition agreements for a consideration of $4.1 million. ” As a result of the Imperial and HDM transactions, as of September 30, 2013, HMCA through Imperial and HDM, managed a total of 25 MRI scanning centers, 18 of which are located in New York and 7 of which are located in Florida, and 23 of which have Upright MRI scanners. 7 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MEDICAL EQUIPMENT SEGMENT PRODUCTS Fonar s principal product is the Upright ’ ® MRI. The Upright ® MRI is a whole-body open MRI system that enables positional MRI (pMRI®) 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. This capability of the Fonar Upright ® technology has demonstrated its key value on patients with the Arnold-Chiari Syndrome (CTE), which is believed to affect 200,000 to 500,000 Americans. In this syndrome, brain stem compression and subsequent severe neurological symptoms occur in these patients, 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 MRI has also demonstrated its value for patients suffering from scoliosis. Scoliosis patients have been typically subjected to routine x-ray exams for years and must be imaged upright for an adequate evaluation of their scoliosis. Because the patient must be standing for the exam, an x-ray machine has been the only modality that could provide that service. The Upright MRI, is the only MRI scanner which allows the patient to stand during the MRI exam. Fonar has developed a new RF receiver and scanning protocol that for the first time allows scoliosis patients to obtain diagnostic pictures of their spines without the risks of x-rays. A recent study by the National Cancer Institute (2000)of 5,466 women with scoliosis reported a 70% increase in breast cancer resulting from 24.7 chest x-rays these patients received on the average in the course of their scoliosis treatment. ® 8 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The Upright® 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 ) 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. ’ s face during the scan is a very large (42” ’ Full-range-of-motion studies of the joints in virtually any direction are 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® access to the patient with no restrictions in the vertical direction. MRI will also be useful for MRI guided interventional procedures as the physician would have unhindered 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™ 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 ™ 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™ is presently marketed as a diagnostic scanner and is sometimes referred to as the Open Sky™ MRI. In its Open Sky™ capacity, the Fonar 360™ 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™ with landscape murals. The patient gap is twenty inches and the magnetic field strength is 0.6 Tesla. MRI, the walls, floor, ceiling and magnet poles are decorated ™ We also expect to enable the Fonar 360 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 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 very near 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. ™ 9 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The first Fonar 360™ MRI scanner, installed at the Oxford-Nuffield Orthopedic Center in Oxford, United Kingdom, is now carrying a full diagnostic imaging caseload. Fonar software engineers have completed and installed their 2 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. nd With current treatment methods, such as chemotherapy taken by mouth, the 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 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 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® and Fonar 360™ 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. ® MRI and Fonar 360 The Upright 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. 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). ™ ’ 10 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ® MRI and Fonar 360 The Upright scanners utilize a 6000 gauss (0.6 Tesla field strength) iron core electromagnet. The greater field strength of the 6000 gauss magnet, as compared to lower field open MRI scanners that operate at 3,000 ’s scanners, produces images of higher gauss (0.3 Tesla) when enhanced by the electronics already utilized by Fonar magnets in the quality and clarity. Fonar industry. ’ s 0.6 Tesla open scanner magnets are among the highest field open MRI " " ™ MRI and Fonar 360 The Upright® 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® 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. MRI and Fonar 360 ™ 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 scanners operate squarely in the optimum C/N ® MRI and Fonar 360 range. ™ ® MRI and Fonar 360 The Upright provide various features allowing for versatile diagnostic capability. For example, SMART 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 ™ (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. During fiscal 2013, sales of our Upright ® MRI scanners accounted for approximately 6.5% of our total revenues and 21.6% of our medical equipment revenues, as compared to 16.1% of total revenues and 33.9% of medical equipment revenues in fiscal 2012. These results reflect the decrease in our sales of scanners. During fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, we had no revenues attributable to sales of our Fonar 360 ™ scanner. Our principal selling, marketing and advertising efforts have been focused on the Upright MRI, which we believe is a particularly unique product, being the only MRI scanner which is both open and allows for weight-bearing imaging. We expect to continue our focus on the Upright MRI in the immediate future. We are optimistic that in the long run the Fonar 360 and our other products and works in progress will also contribute to product sales. ™ ® ® 11 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 in x-ray 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%). 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 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 MRI scanner would also be ideal for breast examinations. ™ ® 12 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PRODUCT MARKETING The principal markets for the Company's scanners are private diagnostic imaging centers and hospitals. Our internal sales force handles the domestic market. We continue to use independent manufacturer foreign markets. None of Fonar ’s competitors are entitled to make the Fonar Upright® MRI scanner. ’s representatives for Fonar s Website includes interactive product information for reaching customers. ’ Fonar has targeted orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, particularly spine surgeons, as important markets for the Upright® MRI. Accordingly, Fonar has exhibited at annual meetings of The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS); the North American Spine Society (NASS); the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS); and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS). Recognition of the importance of Fonar Upright MRI continues to grow. Medserena, of Germany, announced in August, 2010 the purchase of its fourth Upright MRI. CEO Matthais Schulz said, “The large number of requests coming from our physicians in Germany are arising because of the special medical need for FONAR’ s unique technology. This is in spite of an intensely active MRI market in Germany, where there are already many conventional lie-down MRIs installed. ” MRI scanner in London. Recently, Medserena has expanded its market to the United Kingdom with the opening of a Fonar Upright ® Multi-Position ™ ® ® Even high-field 3.0 Tesla MRI scanners cannot overshadow the importance of Fonar s unique technology. In August, 2010, a distinguished board-certified radiologist in Florida, the owner/operator of two multi-modality imaging centers equipped with MRIs, ordered a Fonar Upright® MRI. He initially considered purchasing a 3.0 Tesla lie-down MRI, but decided instead to buy the Fonar Upright Multi-Position ™ MRI when he became aware of its many unique imaging capabilities. ® ’ ’ Fonar s advertising strategy has been designed to reach key purchasing decision makers with information concerning our flagship product, the Upright ® MRI. This has led to many inquiries and to some sales of the Upright® MRI scanner and is intended to increase Fonar ’s presence in the medical market. Fonar’s advertising has been directed at four target audiences: neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists and physicians in general. 1) Neurosurgeons and Orthopaedic Surgeons: These are the surgeons who can most benefit from the superior diagnostic benefits of the Fonar Upright® MRI with its Multi-Position® diagnostic ability. Advertisements to them have appeared in the journal Spine, The Journal of Neurosurgery, and the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery. 2) Radiologists: This segment of the campaign is aimed at the physicians who now have a new modality to offer their referring physicians. Our advertisements directed to them have appeared in Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging. 3) All Physicians: These advertising efforts have been directed to the total physician audience, so that the vast number of doctors who send patients for MRI ’ s are aware of the diagnostic advantages of the Fonar Upright ® Multi-Position MRI. Advertisements directed to this audience have appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association. ® 13 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES This advertising has featured a series of compelling messages. One advertisement pointed out that the AMA book, Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, indicates that diagnosis must be performed upright in flexion and extension. Another advertisement was educational and headlined, Discover the power of Upright Imaging” . Fonar realizes that peer-to-peer communications is the most powerful way to speak to physicians. Consequently, testimonials from surgeons and radiologists have been used to promote our Upright® MRI scanner. The first such advertisement featured five surgeons and two radiologists, explaining the Multi-Position ® MRI scanner to them. Another advertisement featured a leading radiologist, telling why he bought 12 Fonar Upright MRI scanners and planned to buy more. diagnostic benefits of the Fonar Upright ® ® “ Also, our advertising for HMCA also serves as advertising for Fonar MRI scanners. We have increased internet awareness of our product by driving patient traffic to the Upright® scanning centers we manage by installing Websites for every location. These websites and advertising give prospective customers of Upright MRI scanners a view of operating ® MRI centers and the benefits of using an Upright MRI scanner. The success of HMCA-managed sites not only Upright increases management fees to HMCA but encourages new sales for Fonar as well. ® ® ® MRI. The Upright® To meet the demand for high-field open MRI scanners, Fonar plans to devote its principal efforts to marketing the Upright MRI 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™ MRI scanners. Utilizing a 6000 gauss (0.6 Tesla field strength) iron core electromagnet, the Upright MRI and Fonar 360 ™ scanner magnets are among the highest field " Open MRI" scanners in the industry. ® ® The Upright MRI is also suited to fill a demand for better diagnoses of scoliosis patients, who must be standing for the exam. Scoliosis patients are typically subjected to routine x-ray exams for years. In the past, an x-ray machine was the only modality that could provide that service. Typical MRI scanners cannot provide this service because the patient cannot stand up inside of them. The Fonar Upright™ MRI scanner is the only MRI scanner which allows the patient to stand during the exam. The Fonar Upright Scanner avoids radiation of the x-ray machines currently used for scoliosis, which have been reported by the National Cancer Institute to cause a 70% increase in the risk of breast cancer. Other important new applications are Upright imaging of the pelvic floor and abdomen to image prolapses and inguinal hernias. Fonar has also developed the first non-invasive method to image the prostate: the patient simply sits on a flat, seat-like coil. ® ® 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, 2013, 2.1% of the Company's revenues were generated by foreign sales, as compared to 6.2% for fiscal 2012. 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. 14 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 $11.0 million in fiscal 2013 and $11.8 million in fiscal 2012. Notwithstanding the decrease in service revenues in fiscal 2013, we expect service revenues to be essentially stable under present circumstances as customers enter into service contracts when the warranties on their scanners expire, replacing lost service contracts resulting from older scanners being taken out of service. We also anticipate that our 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 Upright® Imaging technology. New medical uses for MRI technology are constantly being discovered and are anticipated for the Upright Imaging 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. ® RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, we incurred expenditures of $1,438,560, none of which was capitalized, on research and development, as compared to $1,242,646, none of which was capitalized, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Research and development activities have focused principally on software improvements to the user interface of the MRI scanner. The Windows-based Sympulse™ platform controls all of the functions of the UPRIGHT® scanner except those of the versatile, multi-position patient table. Separate, dedicated, motion-control software is used to maneuver the UPRIGHT® bed, and development of this software is ongoing as well. The same Sympulse™ platform running identical software underpins the operation of the FONAR 360 ™ unit. In January 2013 FONAR completed and shipped Release 8.1 to the enthusiastic reviews on the part of MRI technologists. While software improvements to the user interface are important in their own right, significant value is added to the MRI scanner by the modification of existing protocols for examining various parts of the body, and the development of new protocols that utilize new underlying capabilities of the pulse sequence software. Over time, FONAR users have become accustomed to the steady improvement in clinical protocols that accompany new software releases. More significantly, in recent years we have seen increasing adoption of FONAR-standard clinical protocols over those developed on site. This is a testament to the superior image quality they produce in attractively short scan times. 15 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The development of clinically practical scan protocols and software depends on close contact between research and development scientists and engineers, and end users. That close contact is facilitated in part by the subsidiary relationship with HMCA and the scanning centers HMCA manages. In addition to that collaboration, R D staff have pursued a variety of novel and UPRIGHT MRI-specific research projects. It is anticipated that these will ultimately lead to new applications that are made available to existing customers as upgrade add-ons to their machines. These range from studies of the effects of gravity on the velopharyngial structures in children to studies of the soft tissues around the ischial tuberosity for the purpose of designing improved wheelchairs for patients who have suffered spinal cord injury. ® & A receiver coil and scanning protocols designed for rapid, x-ray free MRI evaluation of patients with scoliosis has been developed. FONAR image display software that enables the technologist to reformat the axial 3D data set into a coronal plane that follows the lordotic curve of the spine is enabled upon purchase of the coil. Papers describing this work have already been published. “ ” Correlated Slice Profile ) Imaging which can be done for most spine patients. Another important development is The patient having the spine scan is scanned in the four positions of Upright®-neutral, Upright -flexion, Upright®-extension, and traditional recumbent. At the conclusion of the scan, the MRI technologist selects a center-slice sagittal view from each of the four positions. The four image positions are then displayed side by side. In this way, one can quickly comprehend how a patient’s pathology changes from position to position within the same anatomic slice. This multi-position weight-bearing imaging of the spine enables the patient s physician to see all of the patient ’s symptom-generating pathology so they can be correctly addressed therapeutically or surgically (if necessary). (CSP ™ ® ’ BACKLOG Our backlog of unfilled orders at September 26, 2013 was approximately $1.5 million, as compared to $7.4 million at September 14, 2012. It is expected that the existing backlog of orders will be filled within the 2014 fiscal year. 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 we have developed, are material to our business. One of our patents, issued in the name of Dr. Damadian and licensed to Fonar, was United States patent No. 3,789,832, Apparatus and Method for Detecting Cancer in Tissue, also referred to as the ". The development of our MRI scanners have been 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. " 1974 Patent 16 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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, many of the scanner features which Fonar pioneered and which are now incorporated in most MRI scanners sold by the industry. As of June 30, 2013, 186 patents had been issued to Fonar, and approximately 17 patents were 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 terms of the patents in Fonar s portfolio extend to various times. ’ " the exclusive right to make, use and sell " 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 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. ’ s open iron frame MRI scanners are competing principally with high-field air core scanners. Fonar 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 “ ”, 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. high field strength 17 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 superconducting MRI scanners and iron frame products. Fonar’s original iron frame design, ultimately imitated by Fonar ’ s competitors to duplicate Fonar MRI magnets, gave rise to current patient protected Upright MRI technology with the result that Fonar today is the unique and only supplier of the highest field MRI magnets (.6 Tesla) that are not superconducting, do not use liquid helium and are not therefore susceptible to explosion. s origination of “Open ’ ” ® 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 ™ 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. Fonar expects to be the leader in MRI for providing dynamic visualization of body parts such as the spine and other joints as well as dynamic visualization of the heart in its upright position when it is sustaining its full normal physiological load. No companies possess the patented Upright full access interventional technology. MRI technology or the Fonar 360 ™’s 360 ° ® 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 ", 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. CT" 18 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 ”, 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. “QSR 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 II devices are subject to "General Controls" ; 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. 19 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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. 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. On March 16, 2000, Fonar received FDA clearance to market the Fonar 360™ for diagnostic imaging, the Open Sky™ version, and on October 3, 2000 received FDA clearance for the Upright® 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. 20 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 21 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 five voluntary recalls. Four of the recalls were Class II and one was Class III. 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. & 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. 22 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Citation A citation is a formal warning to a firm of intent to prosecute the firm if violations of the FD& provides the firm an opportunity to convince FDA not to prosecute. C Act are not corrected. It 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, 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 clearances to sell the Fonar 360 ™ and Upright ® MRI scanners in the EU in May, 2002. Other countries 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. ’ 23 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Some countries, including many in Latin America and Africa, have very few regulatory requirements. To date, Fonar has been able to comply with all foreign regulatory requirements applicable to its export sales. HEALTH MANAGEMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA IMPERIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES, LLC HEALTH DIAGNOSTICS MANAGEMENT, LLC PHYSICIAN AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES MANAGEMENT BUSINESS Health Management Corporation of America, formed under the name U.S. Health Management Corporation and referred to as "HMCA ", was organized by FONAR in March 1997. HMCA was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary which engages in the business of providing comprehensive management services to diagnostic imaging facilities. The services we provide include development, administration, leasing of office space, facilities and equipment, provision of supplies, staffing, training and supervision of non-medical personnel, credentialing, accounting, billing and collection, assistance with compliance matters and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies. In May 2011, HMCA contributed all of its assets, liabilities and business to Imperial Management Services, LLC which is controlled but not wholly-owned by HMCA. Imperial is continuing the business of HMCA utilizing the same facilities, equipment and personnel as HMCA. This transaction did not result in a change of control or policy, but was solely a means to raise capital. On February 13, 2013 , HMCA entered into an agreement with outside investors to acquire a 50.5% controlling interest in a newly formed limited liability company, Health Diagnostics Management, LLC (HDM). During March 2013 HMCA contributed $20,200,000 to HDM and the investors contributed an aggregate of $19,800,000 for their non-controlling membership interests. ’ To fund HMCA s capital contribution to HDM, Fonar borrowed a total of $14 million from a bank in the form of a term loan aggregating $11 million and a revolving credit loan aggregating $3 million. The term loan is payable in 60 consecutive monthly installments, commencing October 1, 2013. The term loan bears interest at 4.75% per annum and is payable monthly. The revolving credit loan is due March 5, 2016. Fonar can prepay the loan in whole or in part in multiples of $100,000 at any time without penalty. The revolving credit note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum and is payable monthly. All borrowings under the loan agreements are collateralized by substantially all of the Fonar s assets. The loan agreements also contain certain financial covenants that must be met on a periodic basis. In turn, Fonar lent the funds to HMCA, which then contributed the funds to HDM in exchange for HMCA ’ s 50.5% equity interest. As of June 30, 2013, Fonar had made prepayments of principal in the amount of $600,000. ’ On March 5, 2013 HDM purchased from Health Diagnostics, LLC ( ) and certain of its subsidiaries, a business managing twelve (12) Stand-Up® MRI Centers and two (2) other scanning centers located in the States of New York and Florida for a total purchase price (including consideration of $1.5 million to outside investors) aggregating $35.9 million. Concurrently with the acquisition, HDM entered into several consulting and non-competition agreements for a consideration of $4.1 million. HD” “ 24 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES HMCA is the controlling, but not sole owner of these two limited liability companies, Imperial and HDM, through which HMCA conducts its business. The outside investors are passive investors, and do not have the right to participate in the management of either company. For the sake of simplicity and to avoid confusion, HMCA, Imperial and HDM are, unless otherwise indicated referred to as for all periods before and after Imperial and HDM transactions. HMCA ” “ 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. As of September 30, 2013, HMCA managed a total of 25 MRI centers. For the 2012 fiscal year, the revenues HMCA recognized from the MRI facilities increased to $20.7 million, and in fiscal 2013 the revenues recognized from the MRI facilities further increased to $34.3 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 has been to promote and facilitate the replacement of existing MRI scanners with new Fonar Upright MRI scanners. As a result, we presently have Upright® MRI scanners at all but two of the MRI facilities we manage. ® In August 2013, HMCA added an additional Upright MRI facility that it manages in Nassau County, New York. ® 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 office and medical supplies and equipment and handling of reporting, accounting, processing and filing systems. It prepares and files the physician portions of complex applications to enable its clients to participate in managed care programs and to qualify for insurance reimbursement. HMCA assists 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. 25 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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. HMCA is presently using a third party to perform its billing and collection services for its clients Compensation scanning business. No-Fault and Workers ’ ’ 5. Cost Saving Programs. Based on available volume discounts, HMCA seeks to assist in obtaining favorable pricing for office and 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 may expand the ancillary services offered in its network to include CT-scans and x-rays, if it is determined that such additions may be useful to its clients. 7. Marketing Strategies. HMCA is responsible for developing and proposing 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 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. The exceptions to this general model of operation are three of the facilities acquired by HMCA from Health Diagnostics, LLC on March 5, 2013 in Florida. These Florida facilities are limited liability companies which conduct their operations directly and bill and collect their fees from the patients and third party payors. The facilities enter into contracts with third party payors, including managed care companies. None of HMCA ’ s clients, however, 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. The fees paid by the facilities to HMCA are flat monthly fees. The fees in fiscal 2011 were flat monthly fees in the aggregate amount of $1,512,338 per month which increased in fiscal 2012 to an aggregate amount of $1,708,739 per month. In fiscal 2013, the aggregate amount of management fees were the same, at $1,708,739 per month up to March 5, 2013. As a result of the HDM acquisition and the addition of 14 MRI scanning centers, the aggregate amount of management fees increased to $3,469,438 per month commencing March 5, 2013. Fees under the management agreements are subject to adjustment by mutual agreement on an annual basis. Dr. Damadian owns three of the MRI facilities in Florida managed by HMCA. The fees for these three sites in Florida owned by Dr. Damadian are flat monthly fees which are subject to adjustment by mutual agreement on an annual basis. 26 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES HMCA contracts with Tritech Healthcare Management (Plainview, New York) to perform billing and collection for its clients’ No-Fault and Workers Compensation business. The monthly fee was $85,000 in fiscal 2013. HMCA handles all of its clients’ other billings and collections. ’ HMCA MARKETING HMCA's marketing strategy is to expand the business and improve the facilities which it manages. HMCA will seek to increase the number of locations of those facilities where market conditions are promising and to promote growth of its clients' patient volume and revenue. DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING FACILITIES 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 employed by the diagnostic imaging facilities. Following diagnostic procedures, the images are reviewed by the interpreting physicians who prepare a report of these tests and their findings. Reports for the New York facilities are transcribed by HMCA personnel and reports for the Florida facilities are outsourced to independent contractors. HMCA develops marketing programs in an effort to establish and maintain profitable referring physician relationships and to maximize reimbursement yields. HMCA also directs its marketing efforts at managed care providers. Managed care providers have become an important factor in the diagnostic imaging industry. To further its position, HMCA is seeking to expand the imaging modalities offered at its managed diagnostic imaging facilities. Two of the facilities HMCA manages have two MRI scanners and one of those facilities also performs x-rays. REIMBURSEMENT HMCA’s clients receive reimbursements for their services through Medicare, Medicaid, managed care and private insurance. Medicare The Medicare program provides reimbursement for hospitalization, physician, diagnostic and certain other services to eligible persons 65 years of age and over and certain other individuals. Providers are paid by the federal government in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services, HSS, and generally accept the payment with nominal deductible and co-insurance amounts required to be paid by the service recipient, as payment in full. Hospital inpatient services are reimbursed under a prospective payment system. Hospitals receive a specific prospective payment for inpatient treatment services based upon the diagnosis of the patient. 27 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ’ Under Medicare s prospective payment system for hospital outpatient services, or OPPS, a hospital is paid for outpatient services on a rate per service basis that varies according to the ambulatory payment classification group, or APC, to which the service is assigned rather than on a hospital s costs. Each year the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, publishes new APC rates that are determined in accordance with the promulgated methodology. ’ Services provided in non-hospital based freestanding facilities are paid under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, or MPFS. All of HMCA s clients are presently in this category. The MPFS is updated on an annual basis. ’ Healthcare Reform Legislation Healthcare reform legislation enacted in the first quarter of 2010 by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or PPACA, specifically requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in computing physician practice expense relative value units, to increase the equipment utilization factor for advanced diagnostic imaging services (such as MRI, CT and PET) from a presumed utilization rate of 50% to 65% for 2010 through 2012, 70% in 2013, and 75% thereafter. Excluded from the adjustment are low-technology imaging modalities such as ultrasound, X-ray and fluoroscopy. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) or Reconciliation Act, which was passed by the Senate and approved by the President on March 30, 2010, amends the provision for higher presumed utilization of advanced diagnostic imaging services to a presumed rate of 75%. These changes may result in decreased revenue for the services performed by our clients for Medicare beneficiaries. Other changes in reimbursement for services rendered by Medicare Advantage plans may also reduce the revenues for services rendered to Medicare Advantage enrollees. We have experienced reimbursement reductions for radiology services provided to Medicare beneficiaries, including reductions pursuant to the Deficit Reduction Act, or DRA. The DRA, which became effective in 2007, set reimbursement for the technical component for imaging services (excluding diagnostic and screening mammography) in non-hospital based freestanding facilities at the lesser of OPPS or the MPFS. In addition to the foregoing changes to the usage assumptions, CMS 2010 regulatory changes to the MPFS also included a downward adjustment to services primarily involving the technical component rather than the physician work component, by adjusting downward malpractice payments for these services. These adjustments have been phased in over a four year period. For our fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, Medicare revenues represented approximately 7.6% of the revenues for HMCA s clients as compared to 8.3% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. ’ ’ Many of PPACA ’s provisions will not take effect for months or several years, while others are effective immediately. Many provisions also will require the federal government and individual state governments to interpret and implement the new requirements. In addition, PPACA remains the subject of significant debate, and proposals to repeal, block or amend the law have been introduced in Congress and many state legislatures. Finally, a number of state attorneys general have filed legal challenges to PPACA seeking to block its implementation on constitutional grounds. Because of the many variables involved, we are unable to predict how many of the legislative mandates contained in PPACA will be implemented or in what form, whether any additional or similar changes to statutes or regulations (including interpretations), will occur in the future, or what effect any future legislation or regulation would have on our business. 28 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Medicaid The Medicaid program is a jointly-funded federal and state program providing coverage for low-income persons. In addition to federally-mandated basic services, the services offered and reimbursement methods vary from state to state. In many states, Medicaid reimbursement is patterned after the Medicare program; however, an increasing number of states have established or are establishing payment methodologies intended to provide healthcare services to Medicaid patients through managed care arrangements. In fiscal 2013, approximately 0.5% of the revenues of HMCA’s clients were attributable to Medicaid, as compared to 1.1% in fiscal 2012. Managed Care and Private Insurance. ’ Health Maintenance Organizations, or HMO s, Preferred Provider Organizations, or PPOs, and other managed care organizations attempt to control the cost of healthcare services by a variety of measures, including imposing lower payment rates, preauthorization requirements, limiting services and mandating less costly treatment alternatives. Managed care contracting is competitive and reimbursement schedules are at or below Medicare reimbursement levels. Some managed care organizations have reduced or otherwise limited, and other managed care organizations may reduce or otherwise limit, reimbursement in response to reductions in government reimbursement. These reductions could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. These reductions have been, and any future reductions may be, similar to the reimbursement reductions proposed by CMS, Congress and the current federal government administration. The development and expansion of HMOs, PPOs and other managed care organizations within our core markets could have a negative impact on utilization of our services in certain markets and/or affect the revenues per procedure we can collect, since such organizations will exert greater control over patients access to diagnostic imaging services, the selection of the provider of such services and the reimbursement thereof. ’ 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, as well as emphasizing to potential referral sources the advantages of Upright MRI scanning. 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 with the new Fonar Upright® MRI scanners at its facilities. ® 29 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES GOVERNMENT REGULATION APPLICABLE TO HMCA FEDERAL REGULATION The healthcare industry is highly regulated and changes in laws and regulations can be significant. Changes in the law or new interpretation of existing laws can have a material effect on our permissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business and the amount of reimbursement by government and other third-party payors. Federal False Claims Act The federal False Claims Act and, in particular, the False Claims Act whistleblower” provisions allow a private individual to bring actions in the name of the government alleging that a defendant has made false claims for payment from federal funds. After the individual has initiated the lawsuit the government must decide whether to intervene in the lawsuit and to become the primary prosecutor. If the government declines to join the lawsuit, the individual may choose to pursue the case alone, although the government must be kept apprised of the progress of the lawsuit, and may intervene later. Whether or not the federal government intervenes in the case, it will receive the majority of any recovery. qui tam “s’ or “ ” When an entity is determined to have violated the federal False Claims Act, it must pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties for each separate false claim and the government s attorneys ’ fees. Liability arises when an entity knowingly submits, or causes someone else to submit, a false claim for reimbursement to the federal government. The False Claims Act defines the term broadly, though simple negligence will not give rise to liability under the False Claims Act. Examples of the other actions which may lead to liability under the False Claims Act: knowingly ” “ ’ Failure to comply with the many technical billing requirements applicable to our Medicare and Medicaid business. Failure to comply with the prohibition against billing for services ordered or supervised by a physician who is excluded from any federal healthcare program, or the prohibition against employing or contracting with any person or entity excluded from any federal healthcare program. Failure to comply with the Medicare physician supervision requirements for the services we provide, or the Medicare documentation requirements concerning physician supervision. The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 expanded the scope of the False Claims Act by, among other things, broadening protections for whistleblowers and creating liability for knowingly retaining a government overpayment, acting in deliberate ignorance of a government overpayment or acting in reckless disregard of a government overpayment. The recently enacted healthcare reform bills in the form of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the PPACA ) expanded on changes made by the 2009 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, Under PPACA, the knowing failure to Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act with regard to such ” report and return an overpayment within 60 days of identifying the overpayment or by the date a corresponding cost report is due, whichever is later, constitutes a violation of the False Claims Act. HMCA and its clients have never been sued under the False Claims Act and believe they are in compliance with the law. reverse false claims. “ ” “ 30 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Stark Law " Stark Law Under the federal Self-Referral Law, also referred to as the ", 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. The federal government has taken the position that a violation of the federal Stark Law is also a violation of the Federal False Claims Act. 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 We are subject to federal and state laws which govern financial and other arrangements between healthcare providers. These include the federal anti-kickback statute which, among other things, prohibits the knowing and willful solicitation, offer, payment or receipt of any remuneration, direct or indirect, in cash or in kind, in return for or to induce the referral of patients for items or services covered by Medicare, Medicaid and certain other governmental health programs. Under PPACA, knowledge of the anti-kickback statute or the specific intent to violate the law is not required. Violation of the anti-kickback statute may result in civil or criminal penalties and exclusion from the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, and according to PPACA, now provides a basis for liability under the False Claims Act. In addition, it is possible that private parties may file actions based on claims resulting from relationships that violate the anti-kickback statute, seeking significant financial rewards. Many states have enacted similar statutes, which are not limited to items and services paid for under Medicare or a federally funded healthcare program. Neither HMCA nor its clients engage in this practice. qui tam “ ” In fiscal 2013, approximately 7.6% of the revenues of HMCA ’s clients were attributable to Medicare and 0.5% were attributable to Medicaid. In fiscal 2012, approximately 8.3% of the revenues of HMCA’s clients were attributable to Medicare and 1.1% were attributable to Medicaid. Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) On February 8, 2006, the President signed into law the DRA. Effective January 1, 2007, the DRA provides that Medicare reimbursement for the technical component for imaging services (excluding diagnostic and screening mammography) performed in freestanding facilities will be capped. Payment will be the lesser of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule or the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (HOPS) rates. Implementation of these reimbursement reductions contained in the DRA has had an adverse effect on our business. In fiscal 2012, however, we were able to counter this effect by increasing our clients’ scan volumes through our vigorous marketing efforts. 31 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The DRA also codified the reduction in reimbursement for multiple images on contiguous body parts previously announced by CMS, the agency responsible for administering the Medicare program. In November 2005, CMS announced that it would pay 100% of the technical component of the higher priced imaging procedure and 50% of the technical component of each additional imaging procedure for imaging procedures involving contiguous body parts within a family of codes when performed in the same session. CMS had indicated that it would phase in this 50% rate reduction over two years, so that the reduction was 25% for each additional imaging procedure in 2006 and another 25% reduction scheduled for 2007. However, for services furnished on or after July 1, 2010, the PPACA requires the full 50% reduction to be implemented. We believe that the impact of this final 25% reduction will not materially affect our operations. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Congress enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, in part, to combat healthcare fraud and to protect the privacy and security of patients ’ individually identifiable healthcare information. HIPAA, among other things, amends existing crimes and criminal penalties for Medicare fraud and enacts new federal healthcare fraud crimes, including actions affecting non-government healthcare benefit program by means of false or fraudulent representations in connection with the delivery of healthcare services is subject to a fine or imprisonment, or potentially both. In addition, HIPAA authorizes the imposition of civil money penalties against entities that employ or enter into contracts with excluded Medicare or Medicaid program participants if such entities provide services to federal health program beneficiaries. A finding of liability under HIPAA could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. ” Further, HIPAA requires healthcare providers and their business associates to maintain the privacy and security of individually identifiable protected health information (“PHI ). HIPAA imposes federal standards for electronic transactions, for the security of electronic health information and for protecting the privacy of PHI. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 ( HITECH ), signed into law on February 17, 2009, dramatically expanded, among other things, (1) the scope of HIPAA to now apply directly to “business associates, ” or independent contractors who receive or obtain PHI in connection with providing a service to a covered entity, (2) substantive security and privacy obligations, including new federal security breach notification requirements to affected individuals, DHHS and prominent media outlets, of certain breaches of unsecured PHI, (3) restrictions on marketing communications and a prohibition on covered entities or business associates from receiving remuneration in exchange for PHI, and (4) the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed for HIPAA violations, increasing the annual cap in penalties from $25,000 to $1.5 million per year. “ ” In addition, many states have enacted comparable privacy and security statues or regulations that, in some cases, are most stringent than HIPAA requirements. In those cases it may be necessary to modify our operations and procedures to comply with the more stringent state laws, which may entail significant and costly changes for us. We believe that we are in compliance with such state laws and regulations. However, if we fail to comply with applicable state laws and regulations, we could be subject to additional sanctions. 32 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES We believe that we are in compliance with the current HIPAA requirements, as amended by HITECH, and comparable state laws, but we anticipate that we may encounter certain costs associated with future compliance. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that enforcement agencies or courts will not make interpretations of the HIPAA standards that are inconsistent with ours, or the interpretations of our contracted radiology practices or their affiliated physicians. A finding of liability under the HIPAA standards may result in significant criminal and civil penalties. Noncompliance also may result in exclusion from participation in government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. These actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Civil Money Penalty Law and Other Federal Statutes The Civil Money Penalty, or CMP, law covers a variety of practices. It provides a means of administrative enforcement of the anti-kickback statute, and prohibits false claims, claims for medically unnecessary services, violations of Medicare participating provider or assignment agreements and other practices. The statute gives the Office of Inspector General of the HHS the power to seek substantial civil fines, exclusion and other sanctions against providers or others who violate the CMP prohibitions. In addition, in 1996, Congress created a new federal crime: healthcare fraud and false statements relating to healthcare matters. The healthcare fraud statute prohibits knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from government sponsored programs such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Certificates of Need Some states require hospitals and certain other healthcare facilities and providers to obtain a certificate of need, or CON, or similar regulatory approval prior to establishing certain healthcare operations or services, incurring certain capital projects and/or the acquisition of major medical equipment including MRI and PET/CT systems. We are not operating in any such states. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law healthcare reform legislation in the form of PPACA. The implementation of this law will likely have a profound impact on the healthcare industry. Most of the provisions of PPACA will be phased in over the next four years and can be conceptualized as a broad framework not only to provide health insurance coverage to millions of Americans, but to fundamentally change the delivery of care by bringing together elements of health information technology, evidence-based medicine, chronic disease management, medical homes, ” care collaboration and shared financial risk in a way that will accelerate industry adoption and change. There are also many provisions addressing cost containment, reductions of Medicare and other payments and heightened compliance requirements and additional penalties, which will create further challenges for providers. We are unable to predict the full impact of PPACA at this time due to the law’ s complexity and current lack of implementing regulations or interpretive guidance. Moving forward, we believe that the federal government will likely have greater involvement in the healthcare industry than in prior years. “ State Regulation 33 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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, including New York, also prohibit the sharing of professional fees or fee splitting. Consequently, in New York HMCA leases space and equipment to clients and provides clients with a range of non-medical administrative and managerial services for agreed upon fees. Under Florida law a business entity can bill patients and third party payors directly, and at three of the six facilities in Florida, HMCA s subsidiaries do so. ’ ’ HMCA s clients generate revenue from patients covered by no-fault insurance and workers' compensation programs. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 approximately 37.0% of our clients’ receipts were from patients covered by no-fault insurance and approximately 3.8% of our client s receipts were from patients covered by workers’ compensation programs. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, approximately 33.8% of HMCA receipts were from patients covered by no-fault insurance and approximately 3.7% of HMCA 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. ’s clients’ ’s clients ’ ’ Compliance Program We maintain a program to monitor compliance with federal and state laws and regulations applicable to the healthcare entities. We have a compliance officer who is charged with implementing and supervising our compliance program, which includes the adoption of (i) Standards of Conduct for our employees and affiliates and (ii) a process that specifies how employees, affiliates and others may report regulatory or ethical concerns to our compliance officer. We believe that our compliance program meets the relevant standards provided by the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services. An important part of our compliance program consists of conducting periodic audits of various aspects of our operations and that of the contracted radiology practices. We also conduct mandatory educational programs designed to familiarize our employees with the regulatory requirements and specific elements of our compliance program. 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 adverse material effect on its business. EMPLOYEES As of July 1, 2013, we employed approximately 411 persons on a full-time or part-time basis. Such employees included 53 persons in marketing and sales, 9 in research and development, 15 in production, 29 in customer support services, 5 in information technology, 32 in billing and collection and 24 performing transcription services for the facilities managed or directly operated by HMCA. Of our 411 employees, 222 were stationed at the facilities managed or operated by HMCA. 34 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Fonar leases approximately 117,000 square feet of office and plant space at its principal offices in Melville, New York and at one other location in Melville, New York at a current aggregate annual rental rate of $1,292,757, excluding utilities, taxes and other related expenses. The term of one of the leases includes options to renew up through 2016 and the terms of the other leases extend to December 2013. Management believes that the premises will be adequate for its current needs. HMCA already has consolidated its headquarters with those of Fonar as part of Fonar’s cost cutting program. HMCA maintains leased office premises for its clients at the clients ’ sites having an aggregate annual rental rate of approximately $2,742,217 under leases having various terms. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On or about June 30, 2010, one of Fonar’s customers, Golden Triangle Company, commenced an action against Fonar and certain individual defendants employed or formerly employed by Fonar, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York based on the alleged wrongful failure of Fonar to deliver a scanner in Kuwait. The claim alleged various causes of action including breach of contract, fraud, conspiracy to defraud and conversion. Golden Triangle Company v. Fonar Corporation et al, CV10-2933. Plaintiff contracted with Fonar to purchase an MRI scanner, and paid $1,455,500 in advance. The scanner was never delivered, but Plaintiff never designated a site for delivery either. Alleging other damages, fraud and deceptive trade practices, Plaintiff sought up to $5,000,000. Fonar made a motion to dismiss the complaint, the outcome of which left plaintiff with only a cause of action for breach of contract. The claims against the individual officers and employees of Fonar were dismissed. Fonar filed its answer, together with a counterclaim alleging that the plaintiff, by attempting to overcharge the end-customer, had damaged Fonar s reputation and ability to sell in Kuwait. The case was settled in June, 2013 for $480,000 in cash and 30,000 shares of Fonar ’s common stock payable in installments. ’ Jack Shapiro v. Fonar Corporation, Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County, was commenced by plaintiff in July, 2009 to recover $500,000 based on Fonar s failure to refund a deposit on an MRI scanner and termination of plaintiff ’s sales representative agreement. Plaintiff alleged that the deposit on the machine was in part consideration for the sales representative agreement. Fonar s view was that the sales agreement and sales representative agreement were separate and (1) Fonar was entitled to keep the deposit on the sale when plaintiff failed to proceed with the transaction and (2) properly terminated the sales representative agreement in accordance with its terms. The case has been settled for $323,000 payable in installments, subject to Fonar obtaining a sale and the customer paying the installments of the purchase price. ’ ’ 35 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Matt Malek Madison v. Fonar Corporation, United States District Court, Northern District of California, was commenced by plaintiff on August 27, 2007 to recover a down payment for a scanner in the amount of $300,000, with interest. The plaintiff sought costs of suit and attorney’ s fees as well. Fonar answered the complaint and sued the plaintiff for breach of contract in the amount of $450,000. Although down payments are usually expressly non-refundable in Fonar s quotations and agreements, in this case, the quotation contemplated the sale of four scanners, and provided that the deposit would be refundable with interest, if the customer were unable to find suitable locations in the San Francisco Bay area. The issue was whether the customer made a good faith effort to find locations; Fonar ’s position was that the customer did not. The case went to trial before a judge; the parties submitted post-trial briefs, and judgment was awarded to the plaintiff. Fonar appealed the trial court ’s decision, but on January 31, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9 Circuit affirmed the lower court ’ s decision awarding the plaintiff the $300,000 deposit with prejudgment interest from July 1, 2006. Fonar sought to have the Court of Appeals reconsider the decision en banc, (by all or a larger number of the judges on the Circuit Court of Appeals), but this was not granted. Although the case has been concluded, the plaintiff has not taken any steps to collect the judgment. th ’ Bonutti Research v. Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America, Health Diagnostics, LLC et al, was commenced on December 2, 2011. Bonutti Research filed a patent infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the ® Eastern District Court of New York, alleging that Fonar s Upright ’ s patent which relates to ’ the moving of a patient into the scanner. Fonar believes plaintiff’ s claims are without merit and further, that the patent is invalid. The parties are engaged in jurisdictional discovery to determine whether the plaintiff owned the patent claimed to have been infringed at the time of the commencement of the lawsuit. Discovery on the merits has been stayed pending the outcome of the jurisdictional discovery. The parties, are engaged in serious settlement negotiations. No specified amount of damages was specified in the complaint. The patent has expired and as a result, only past damages are at issue. MRI scanners infringe plaintiff Bolt MRI Technologies v. Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America , was commenced on July 22, 2013, when Bolt MRI Technologies filed an action against Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America and Health Diagnostics, LLC alleging infringement of the same patent which is the subject of the Bonutti case.

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 and formerly known as U.S. Health Management Corporation, in order to expand into the physician and diagnostic management services business. HMCA currently provides its services exclusively to diagnostic imaging facilities. Fonar's principal MRI products are its Stand-Up® MRI scanners. The Stand-Up® MRI allows patients to be scanned for the first time under weight-bearing conditions. The Stand-Up® MRI is the only MRI capable of producing images in the weight-bearing state. MRI and Fonar 360 /Upright® ™ 37 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES At 0.6 Tesla field strength, the Upright ™ 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 open MRI scanners in the industry. MRI and Fonar 360 ® ’ 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 HMCA’ s clients except for three Florida subsidiaries which bill and collect fees from patients, insurers and other third party payors directly. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, 23.0% and 32.2%, respectively, of HMCA ’ s revenues were derived from contracts with facilities owned by Dr. Raymond V. Damadian, the President of Fonar and HMCA, and principal stockholder of Fonar. The agreements with these MRI facilities are for one-year terms which renew automatically on an annual basis, unless terminated. The fees for these sites, which are located in Florida, are flat monthly fees. Industry Updates For services for which Medicare is billed directly, the sites are paid under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, which is updated on an annual basis. Under the Medicare statutory formula, payments under the Physician Fee Schedule would have decreased for the past several years if Congress failed to intervene. Many private payors use the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule to determine their own reimbursement rates. While Congress has repeatedly intervened to mitigate the negative reimbursement impact associated with the formula, there is no guarantee that Congress will continue to do so in the future. Moreover, the existing methodology may result in significant yearly fluctuations in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule amounts, which may be unrelated to changes in the actual costs of providing physician services. The 2013 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule expanded a reduction in reimbursement for multiple images on contiguous body parts to new services, namely diagnostic cardiovascular services and ophthalmology services. Medicare has a longstanding policy to reduce payment by 50% for the second and subsequent procedures furnished to the same beneficiary by a single physician or physicians in the same group practice on the same day. Critical Accounting Policies Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements that were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Management makes estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including: · our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial statements 38 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES · our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements; and ·our reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations during the reporting periods These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management ’ s control. As a result, actual amounts could differ materially from these estimates. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’ s most difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. In the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we discuss our significant accounting policies. s financial condition and results of operations and require management’ 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 evaluate the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assess the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with our expectations, an adjustment to our allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets we consider estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. In 2013 we recorded a valuation allowance resulting in a deferred tax asset of $2,473,892. As of June 30, 2012, we had recorded a valuation allowance which reduced our deferred tax assets to equal our deferred tax liability. We depreciate our long-lived assets over their estimated economic useful lives with the exception of leasehold improvements where we use the shorter of the assets useful lives or the lease term of the facility for which these assets are associated. The Company provides for medical receivables that could become uncollectible by establishing an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to adjust medical receivables to estimated net realizable value. In evaluating the collectability of medical receivables, the Company considers a number of factors, including the age of the account, historical collection experiences, payor type, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. There are various factors that impact collection trends, such as payor mix, changes in the economy, increase burden on copayments to be made by patients with insurance and business practices related to collection efforts. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collection trends and the estimation process. 39 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 and capitalized software development costs is 15 to 17 years and 5 years, respectively. Our amortization of the non-competition agreements entered into with certain individuals in connection with the HDM transaction are depreciated over seven years, and customer relationships are amortized over 20 years. Goodwill is recorded as a result of business combinations. Management evaluates goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is tested by comparing the reporting unit’ s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which uses comparable market data. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Based on our test for goodwill impairment, we noted no impairment related to goodwill. However, if estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill. 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 2013 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2012 In fiscal 2013, we recognized net income of $10.3 million on revenues of $49.1 million, as compared to net income of $6.9 million on revenues of $39.4 million for fiscal 2012. This represents an increase in revenues of 24.6%. Increased management fees were the principal factor accounting for the increased revenues of the Company. Unrelated party management fees increased by 41.6%. Total costs and expenses increased by 29.1%. Our consolidated operating results improved by $300,000 to an operating income of $7.5 million for fiscal 2013 as compared to an operating income of $7.2 million for fiscal 2012. Discussion of Operating Results of Medical Equipment Segment Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012 Revenues attributable to our medical equipment segment decreased by 20.4% to $14.9 million in fiscal 2013 from $18.7 million in fiscal 2012, with product sales revenues decreasing by 43.1% from $6.9 million in fiscal 2012 to $3.9 million in fiscal 2013. Service revenue decreased from $11.8 million in fiscal 2012 to $11.0 million in fiscal 2013. The Upright® and in multiple positions that correlate with symptoms. MRI is unique in that it permits MRI scans to be performed on patients upright in the weight-bearing state Product sales to unrelated parties decreased by 43.1% in fiscal 2013 from $6.9 million in fiscal 2012 to $3.9 million in fiscal 2013. There were no product sales to related parties in fiscal 2013 or 2012. 40 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 multi-position MRI scanner as the FONAR Upright® MRI. The operating results for the medical equipment segment decreased from income of $2.7 million in fiscal 2012 to income of $140,000 in fiscal 2013. This decrease is attributable most significantly to a decrease in our product sales. We recognized revenues of $3.2 million from the sale of our Upright recognized revenues of $6.3 million from the sale of Upright® MRI scanners. ® MRI scanners in fiscal 2013, while in fiscal 2012, we Research and development expenses, net of capitalized costs, increased by 15.8% to $1.4 million in fiscal 2013 as compared to $1.2 million in fiscal 2012. Our expenses for fiscal 2013 represented continued research and development of Fonar and new surface coils to be used with the Upright® ’ s new hardware and software product, Sympulse s scanners, Fonar ’ MRI scanner. ® Discussion of Operating Results of Physician and Diagnostic Services Management Segment. Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012 Revenues attributable to the Company's physician and diagnostic services management segment, HMCA, increased by 65.2% to $34.3 million in fiscal 2013 from $20.7 million in fiscal 2012. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the 14 additional scanning facilities acquired in the HDM transaction, which resulted in the recognition of $12.2 million in revenues from HDM, including $4.9 million of fees (net of contractual allowances and discounts less provision for bad debts) from patient and third party payors recognized by four of the facilities in Florida. Cost of revenues as a percentage of the related revenues for our physician and diagnostic services management segment increased from $12.3 million or 59.4% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2012 to $19.2 million, or 56.1% of related revenue for the year ended June 30, 2013. Operating results of this segment increased from operating income of $4.5 million in fiscal 2012 to operating income of $7.4 million in fiscal 2013. We believe that the 14 additional facilities managed by HDM and our efforts to expand and improve the operation of our physician and diagnostic services management segment are directly responsible for the profitability of this segment and our company as a whole. Discussion of Certain Consolidated Results of Operations Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012 Interest and investment income decreased in 2013 compared to 2012. We recognized interest income of $217,598 in 2013 as compared to $243,254 in fiscal 2012, representing a decrease of 10.5%. 41 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Interest expense of $500,362 was recognized in fiscal 2013, as compared to $478,663 in fiscal 2012, representing a increase of 4.5%. While revenue increased by 24.6%, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 42.9% to $12.5 million in fiscal 2013 from $8.7 million in fiscal 2012. The compensatory element of stock issuances increased from approximately $180,000 in fiscal 2012 to $415,021 in fiscal 2013, reflecting an increase in Fonar ’ s use of its stock bonus plans to pay employees and others. The higher provision for bad debts of $1.5 million in fiscal 2013 as compared to $1.1 million in fiscal 2012, reflected an increase in reserves for certain indebtedness in fiscal 2013 by our physician and diagnostic services management segment. In addition, in fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a provision for bad debts for patient fee revenue of $2.6 million for the four MRI facilities in Florida which bill patients and third party payors directly. The three Florida sites managed by HMCA jointly and severally guaranteed the payment of their management fees to HMCA, further securing HMCA s’ management fee receivables. Revenue from service and repair fees decreased from $11.8 million in fiscal 2012 to $11.0 million in fiscal 2013. Continuing our tradition as the originator of MRI, we remain committed to maintaining our position as the leading innovator of the industry through investing in research and development. In fiscal 2013 we continued our investment in the development of our new MRI scanners, together with software and upgrades, with an investment of $1,438,560 in research and development, none of which was capitalized, as compared to $1,242,656, none of which was capitalized, in fiscal 2012. The research and development expenditures were approximately 9.7% of revenues attributable to our medical equipment segment and 2.9% of total revenues in 2013, and 6.6% of medical equipment segment revenues and 3.2% of total revenues in fiscal 2012. This represented a 15.7% increase in research and development expenditures in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012. The physician and diagnostic services management segment, HMCA, revenues increased, from $20.7 in fiscal 2012 to $34.3 million in fiscal 2013. This is primarily attributable to increased revenue resulting from the HDM acquisition. We have been taking steps to improve HMCA revenues by our marketing efforts, which focus on the unique capability of our Upright ® MRI scanners to scan patients in different positions. We have also been increasing the number of health insurance plans in which our clients participate. Marketing expenditures may increase, as the Company continues its efforts to promote sales. Our management fees are dependent on collection by our clients of fees from reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, no fault and workers pay and other third-party payors. The health care industry is experiencing the effects of the federal and state governments’ trend toward cost containment, as governments and other third-party payors seek to impose lower reimbursement and utilization rates and negotiate reduced payment schedules with providers. The cost-containment measures, consolidated with the increasing influence of managed-care payors and competition for patients, have resulted in reduced rates of reimbursement for services provided by our clients from time to time. Our future revenues and results of operations may be adversely impacted by future reductions in reimbursement rates. ’ compensation carriers, self – 42 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Certain third-party payors have proposed and implemented changes in the methods and rates of reimbursement that have had the effect of substantially decreasing reimbursement for diagnostic imaging services that HMCA ’ s clients provide. To the extent reimbursement from third-party payors is reduced, it will likely have an adverse impact on the rates they pay us, as they would need to reduce the management fees they pay HMCA to offset such decreased reimbursement rates. Furthermore, many commercial health care insurance arrangements are changing, so that individuals bear greater financial responsibility through high deductible plans, co-insurance and higher co-payments, which may result in patients delaying or foregoing medical procedures. We expect that any further changes to the rates or methods of reimbursement for services, which reduce the reimbursement per scan of our clients may partially offset the increases in scan volume we are working to achieve for our clients, and indirectly will result in a decline in our revenues. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law healthcare reform legislation in the form of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA. The implementation of this law will likely have a profound impact on the healthcare industry, most of which will go into effect in fiscal 2014 and thereafter. Healthcare cost containment, reductions of Medicare and other payments, and increased regulation will present additional challenges for healthcare providers. We are unable to predict the full impact of PPACA at this time, but anticipate the possibility that it may reduce the profitability of both our medical equipment segment and physician and diagnostic services management segment. In addition there are also political uncertainties which may result in the repeal or modification of PPACA or the adoption of alternative medical cost containment and insurance requirements. In addition, the use of radiology benefit managers, or RBM’s has increased in recent years. It is common practice for health insurance carriers to contract with RBMs to manage utilization of diagnostic imaging procedures for their insureds. In many cases, this leads to lower utilization of imaging procedures based on a determination of medical necessity. The efficacy of RBMs is still a high controversial topic. We cannot predict whether the healthcare legislation or the use of RBMs will negatively impact our business, but it is possible that our financial position and results of operations could be negatively affected. At the present time healthcare reform has not directly affected our business, but we believe uncertainty as to the ultimate impact of healthcare reform, taxes, and the state of the economy have hurt our scanner sales. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased by 34.6% from $12.0 million at June 30, 2012 to $7.9 million at June 30, 2013. Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2013 approximated $7.5 million. Cash provided by operating activities was attributable to the net income of $10.3 million, which was offset by the deferred income tax benefit of $2.5 million and the increase in accounts, medical and management fee receivables of $3.7 million. Cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2013 approximated $41.0 million. The use of cash from investing activities was the cost of the HDM acquisition of $40.0 million, purchases of property and equipment of $1.1 million, and costs of patents of $160,000. 43 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2013 approximated $29.6 million. The principal sources of cash in financing activities consisted of proceeds from non-controlling interests of $19.8 million and the proceeds from loans of $14.7 million; uses of cash included the repayment of loans and capital lease obligations of $1.8 million, distributions to non-controlling interests of $1.8 million and a redemption of non-controlling interests of $1.4 million. Total liabilities increased by 56.9% during fiscal 2013, from approximately $22.5 million at June 30, 2012 to approximately $35.4 million at June 30, 2013. As at June 30, 2013, our obligations included approximately $5.2 million in various state sales taxes, inclusive of penalties and interest. The Company will attempt to obtain a reduction of penalties in negotiating final settlements. At June 30, 2013, we had working capital of approximately $16.7 million as compared to working capital of $4.8 million at equity of $11.1 June 30, 2012, and stockholders equity of $37.8 million at June 30, 2013 as compared to stockholders million at June 30, 2012. For the year ended June 30, 2013, we realized a net income of $10.3 million. ’ ’ Our principal sources of liquidity has been derived from investments, revenues and the proceeds of loans obtained in connection with the HDM acquisition. Our business plan includes an program for manufacturing and selling our Upright® MRI scanners. In addition, we are enhancing our revenue by participating in the physician and diagnostic services management business through our subsidiary, HMCA and have upgraded the facilities which it manages, most significantly by the replacement of the original MRI scanners with new Upright ® MRI scanners. Presently, 23 of the 25 MRI facilities managed by HMCA, are equipped with Upright® MRI scanners. We have also intensified our marketing activities through the hiring of additional marketers for HMCA ’s clients. Our business plan also 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 $11.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2012 and $11.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. In order to reduce our net losses and demands on our cash and other liquid reserves, we have an aggressive program of cost cutting. These measures included consolidating HMCA ’ s office space with Fonar s office space, reductions in the size of our workforce, compensation and benefits, as well as across the board reduction of expenses. The cost reductions were intended to enable us to withstand periods of low volumes of MRI scanner sales, by keeping expenditures at levels which, if necessary, can be supported by service revenues and HMCA revenues. We are also seeking equity and debt financing and have been engaged in discussions with several possible sources. ’ 44 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ’ s capital resources will continue to improve if Fonar In order to promote sales, we are continuing to focus on marketing campaigns to strengthen the demand for our products and services. Management anticipates that Fonar ’s products gain wider market recognition and acceptance resulting in both increased product sales by Fonar and increased scan volumes at sites managed by HMCA. If we are not successful with our marketing efforts, we will experience a shortfall in cash, and it will be necessary to reduce operating expenses or obtain funds through equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts to avoid the need to curtail our operations subsequent to June 30, 2014. Current economic credit conditions have contributed to a slowing business environment. Given such liquidity and credit constraints in the markets, the business may suffer, should the credit markets not improve in the near future. The direct impact of these conditions is not fully known. However, there can be no assurance that we would be able to secure additional funds if needed and that if such funds were available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. In such case, the reduction in operating expenses might need to be substantial in order for us to generate positive cash flow to sustain our operations. If we are unable to meet expenditures with revenues or financing then it will be necessary to reduce expenses further, or seek other sources of funds through the issuance of debt or equity financing in order to conduct operations as now conducted subsequent to fiscal 2014. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2013 approximated $1.3 million. Capitalized patent costs were approximately $160,000. Purchases of property and equipment were approximately $1.1 million. Fonar has not committed to making capital expenditures in the 2014 fiscal year except for a new diagnostic center which opened in Nassau County, New York in August 2013. The Company believes that its business plan has been responsible for the past two consecutive fiscal years of profitability (fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012) and that its capital resources will be adequate to support operations at current levels through June 30, 2014. In fiscal 2010 and prior years, however, the Company also experienced losses and periods of working capital deficits. The future effects on our business of healthcare reform legislation, the Deficit Reduction Act, the tax on sales of medical equipment and the general economic and business climate are not known at the present time. Nevertheless, there is a possibility of adverse consequences to our business operations from these causes. ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company does not have any investments in marketable securities, foreign currencies, mutual funds, certificates of deposit or other fixed rate instruments. All of our funds are in cash accounts or money market accounts which are liquid. All of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in United States dollars.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’ s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. FONAR Corporation and Subsidiaries We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company ’ s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

The operating activities of subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated statements from the date of acquisition. 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 receivable allowances, intangible assets, income taxes and related tax asset valuation allowances, useful lives of property and equipment, contingencies, revenue recognition and the assessment of 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. 58 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 and 2012 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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 their estimated useful lives. 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 $598,000 and $371,000 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The estimated useful lives in years are generally as follows: Diagnostic equipment under capital lease Diagnostic equipment Research, development and demonstration equipment Machinery and equipment Furniture and fixtures Leasehold improvements Building Long-Lived Assets 5– 2.5 13 3-7 2-7 3-9 –2 10 27.5 The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangibles, other than goodwill, 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. 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. Prior to reaching technological feasibilty those costs are expensed as incurred and included in research and development. 59 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 and 2012 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Other Intangible Assets (Continued) 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 bears 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. 3) Management Agreement The management agreement was being amortized on the straight line basis over the length of the agreement (15 years). For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment of $357,500 as a result of the closing of a scanning center in New York. 4) Non-Competition Agreements The non-competition agreements are being amortized on the straight line basis over the length of the agreement (7 years). 5) Customer Relationships Amortization is calculated on the straight line basis over 20 years. Goodwill Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test annually and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arises. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit ’s carrying amount, including goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Acquired assets and assumed liabilities Pursuant to ASC No. 805-10-25, if the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, but during the allowed measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the company retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date by means of adjusting the amount recognized for goodwill. 60 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 and 2012 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Revenue Recognition product sales Revenue on sales contracts for scanners, included in “ in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with FASB ASC 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. 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 Billings in Excess of " Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts , represents amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized. " , represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, " " ” 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 under management contracts is recognized based upon contractual agreements for management services rendered by the Company primarily under various long-term agreements with various medical providers (the "PCs"). As of June 30, 2013, the Company has twenty management agreements of which three are with PC ’s owned by Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., President and Chairman of the Board of FONAR (“the Related medical practices”) and seventeen are with PC’s, which are all located in the state of New York (“the New York PC’s”), owned by two unrelated radiologists. The contractual fees for services rendered to the PCs consists of fixed monthly fees per diagnostic imaging facility ranging from approximately $35,000 to $241,000. All fees are re-negotiable at the anniversary of the agreements and each year thereafter. Revenue under lease contracts is recognized based upon contractual agreements for the leasing of medical equipment primarily under long term contracts to various unrelated PC ’s. The lease fees for the medical equipment consist of fixed monthly fees ranging from $2,000 to $19,000. All fees are re-negotiable at the anniversary of the agreements and each year thereafter. Patient fee revenue, net of contractual allowance and discounts, consist of net patient fees received from insurance companies, third party payors (including federal and state agencies under Medicare and Medicaid programs), hospitals and patients themselves based mainly upon established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts. Patient fee revenue is recorded in the period in which services are provided. 61 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 and 2012 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Revenue Recognition The Company’s patient fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts less the provision for bad debts for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are summarized in the following table. Commercial Insurance/ Managed Care Medicare/Medicaid Workers' Compensation/Personal Injury Other Patient Fee Revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts Provision for Bad Debts Net Patient Fee for Revenue Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Patient Fee – For the Year Ended June 30, 2013 1,360,536 541,602 3,597,416 1,982,311 7,481,865 (2,584,669) 4,897,196 $ $ $ $ 2012 — — — — — — — The Company provides for medical receivables that could become uncollectible by establishing an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to adjust medical receivables to estimated net realizable value. In evaluating the collectability of medical receivables, the Company considers a number of factors, including the age of the account, historical collection experiences, payor type, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. There are various factors that impact collection trends, such as payor mix, changes in the economy, increase burden on copayments to be made by patients with insurance and business practices related to collection efforts. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collection trends and the estimation process. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

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, 2013, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $6,030,000 in excess of federally insured limits of $250,000.

Net management fee receivables from the related medical practices accounted for approximately 9% and 13% of the consolidated accounts receivable for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Note 3 regarding the Company ’s concentrations in the healthcare industry. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The financial statements include various estimated fair value information at June 30, 2013 and 2012, as required by ASC topic 820, " . 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. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" 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. Receivable and accounts payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Notes receivable: The carrying amount approximates fair value because the discounted present value of the cash flow generated by the parties approximates the carrying value of the amounts due to the Company. Long-term debt, notes payable and accounts 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. 65 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 and 2012 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improves consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in previously issued standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company ’ s consolidated financial position and results of operations. FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of June 30, 2013 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2013 or 2012, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective. 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 income for any periods presented. NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, MEDICAL RECEIVABLE AND MANAGEMENT AND OTHER FEES RECEIVABLE The Company’s customers are concentrated in the healthcare industry. Accounts Receivable Credit risk with respect to the Company ’s accounts receivable related to product sales and service and repair fees is limited due to the customer advances received prior to the commencement of work performed and the billing of amounts to customers as sub-assemblies are completed. Service and repair fees are billed on a monthly or quarterly basis and the Company does not continue providing these services if accounts receivable become past due. The Company controls credit risk with respect to accounts receivable from service and repair fees through its credit evaluation process, credit limits, monitoring procedures and reasonably short collection terms. The Company performs ongoing credit authorizations before a product sales contract is entered into or service and repair fees are provided. 66 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 and 2012 NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, MEDICAL RECEIVABLE AND MANAGEMENT AND OTHER FEES RECEIVABLE (Continued) Medical Receivable Medical receivables are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as hospitals, government sponsored healthcare programs, patient s legal counsel and directly from patients. Substantially all the revenue relates to patients residing in Florida. The carrying amount of the medical receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The Company continuously monitors collections from its clients and maintains an allowance for bad debts based upon the Company s historical collection experience. The Company determines allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible accounts based on specific agings, specific payor collection issues that have been identified and based on payor classifications and historical experience at each site. ’ ’ ’ Management and Other Fees Receivable ’s receivables from the related and non-related professional corporations ( The Company ) substantially consist 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. ”PCs “ Payment of the management fee receivables from the PC s may be impaired by the inability of the PC ’ s to collect in a timely manner their medical fees from the third party payors, particularly insurance carriers covering automobile no-fault and workers compensation claims due to longer payment cycles and rigorous informational requirements and certain other disallowed claims. Approximately 41% and 38%, respectively, of the PCs’ 2013 and 2012 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. The Company generally takes all legally available steps 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 medical practices accounted for approximately 15% and 17%, of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Tallahassee Magnetic Resonance Imaging, PA, Stand Up MRI of Boca Raton, PA and Stand Up MRI & Diagnostic Center, PA (all related medical practices) entered into a guaranty agreement, pursuant to which they cross guaranteed all management fees which are payable to the Company, which have arisen under each individual management agreement.

The claim alleged various causes of action including breach of contract, fraud, conspiracy to defraud and conversion. Golden Triangle Company v. Fonar Corporation et al , CV10-2933. The Plaintiff contracted with Fonar to purchase a scanner, and paid $1,455,500 in advance. The scanner was never delivered, but Plaintiff never designed a site for delivery either. Alleging other damages, fraud and deceptive trade practices, Plaintiff sought up to $5,000,000. Fonar made a motion to dismiss the complaint, the outcome of which left Plaintiff with only a cause of action for breach of contract. The claims against the individual officers and employees of Fonar were dismissed.

Fonar Corporation, Supreme Court of the State of New York, Nassau County, was commenced by plaintiff in July, 2009 to recover $500,000 based on Fonar ’ s failure to refund a deposit on an MRI scanner and termination of plaintiff ’s sales representative agreement. Plaintiff alleged that the deposit on the machine was in part consideration for the sales representative agreement. Fonar s view was that the sales agreement and sales representative agreement were separate and (1) Fonar was entitled to keep the deposit on the sale when plaintiff failed to proceed with the transaction and (2) properly terminated the sales representative agreement in accordance with its terms. The case has been settled for $323,000 payable in installments, subject to Fonar obtaining a sale and the customer paying the installments of the purchase price. ’ Matt Malek Madison v. Fonar Corporation, United States District Court, Northern District of California, was commenced by plaintiff on August 27, 2007 to recover a down payment for a scanner in the amount of $300,000, with interest. The plaintiff sought costs of suit and attorney ’s fees as well. Fonar answered the complaint and sued the plaintiff for breach of contract in the amount of $450,000. Although down payments are usually expressly non-refundable in Fonar ’ s quotations and agreements, in this case, the quotation contemplated the sale of four scanners, and provided that the deposit would be refundable with interest, if the customer were unable to find suitable locations in the San Francisco Bay area. The issue was whether the customer made a good faith effort to find locations; Fonar ’s position was that the customer did not. The case went to trial before a judge; the parties submitted post-trial briefs, and judgment was awarded to the plaintiff. Fonar appealed the trial court s decision, but on January 31, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9 Circuit affirmed the lower court ’ s decision awarding the plaintiff the $300,000 deposit with prejudgment interest from July 1, 2006. Fonar sought to have the Court of Appeals reconsider the decision en banc, (by all or a larger number of the judges on the Circuit Court of Appeals), but this was not granted. Although the case has been concluded, the plaintiff has not taken any steps to collect the judgment. th ’ Bonutti Research v. Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America, Health Diagnostics, LLC et al, was commenced on December 2, 2011. Bonutti Research filed a patent infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District Court of New York, alleging that Fonar’s Upright® MRI scanners infringe plaintiff ’ s patent which relates to the moving of a patient into the scanner. Fonar believes plaintiff’ s claims are without merit and further, that the patent is invalid. The parties are engaged in jurisdictional discovery to determine whether the plaintiff owned the patent claimed to have been infringed at the time of the commencement of the lawsuit. Discovery on the merits has been stayed pending the outcome of the jurisdictional discovery. The parties, are engaged in serious settlement negotiations. No specified amount of damages was specified in the complaint. The patent has expired and as a result, only past damages are at issue. 85 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 and 2012 NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Litigation (Continued) Bolt MRI Technologies v. Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America , was commenced on July 22, 2013, when Bolt MRI Technologies filed an action against Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America and Health Diagnostics, LLC alleging infringement of the same patent which is the subject of the Bonutti case. Bolt alleges that the patent was assigned to Bolt on or about June 8, 2012. The parties have been negotiating to settle the case in conjunction with the settlement of the Health Diagnostics, LLC Bonutti case. & Other Matters The Company is also delinquent in filing sales tax returns for certain states, for which the Company has transacted business. The Company has recorded tax obligations of $2,648,000 plus interest and penalties of approximately $2,322,000. The Company is in the process of determining its regulatory requirements in order to become compliant. The Company has determined they may not be in compliance with the Department of Labor and Internal Revenue Service regulations concerning the requirements to file Form 5500 to report activity of its 401K Employee Benefit Plan. The filings do not require the Company to pay tax, however they may be subject to penalty for non-compliance. The Company has recorded provisions for any potential penalties totaling $250,000. The amount was the Company ’ s best estimate of potential penalties. Management is unable to determine the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company has engaged outside counsel to handle such matters to determine the necessary requirements to ensure compliance. On August 31, 2011, the Company submitted with the Internal Revenue Service a request for a compliance statement and a determination letter for our 401K plan. On December 9, 2011, the Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination letter on our 401K plan. The Company is still working with outside counsel to complete and file forms with the US Department of Labor.

Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board, 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 generally accepted accounting principles, including those policies and procedures that: pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. It should be noted, however, that because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of the prevention or detection of misstatements. In addition, 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. 91 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting ’ Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

In making its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992. Based on these criteria, our management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management ’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to SEC rules applicable to smaller reporting companies.
