NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION & LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on October 15, 2013 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

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

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and stock equivalents outstanding, net of common stock. In accordance with ASC topic 260-10, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class method”, the Company used the Two-Class method for calculating basic income per share and applied the if converted method in calculating diluted income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock based on the average market price of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, diluted EPS for common shareholders includes 128 shares upon conversion of Class C Common.

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 improve 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 condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed 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 September 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 reclassifcations did not have any effect on reported consolidated net income for any periods presented.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, MEDICAL RECEIVABLE AND MANAGEMENT AND OTHER FEES RECEIVABLE

Accounts Receivable, Medical Receivable and Management and Other Fees Receivable

Receivables, net is comprised of the following at September 30, 2013:

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.

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.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, MEDICAL RECEIVABLE AND MANAGEMENT AND OTHER FEES RECEIVABLE (Continued)

Management and Other Fees Receivable

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

Payment of the management fee receivables from the PC’s may be impaired by the inability of the PC’s to collect in a timely manner their medical fees from the third party payors, particularly insurance carriers covering automobile no-fault and workers compensation claims due to longer payment cycles and rigorous informational requirements and certain other disallowed claims. Approximately 51% and 38% of the PCs’ net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were derived from no-fault and personal injury protection claims. The Company considers the aging of its accounts receivable in determining the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company generally takes all legally available steps to collect its receivables. Credit losses associated with the receivables are provided for in the condensed consolidated financial statements and have historically been within management's expectations.

Net revenues from management and other fees charged to the related PCs accounted for approximately 13.9% and 20.7% of the consolidated net revenues for the three months ended September 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 Company’s patient fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts less the provision for bad debts for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are summarized in the following table.

NOTE 9 - CONTROLLING AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

On February 13, 2013 the Company 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). According to the February 13, 2013 LLC operating agreement of HDM there are two classes of members; Class A members and one Class B member. The Class A members have an ownership interest of 49.5% of HDM. The Class B member (HMCA) has an ownership of 50.5% of HDM. On all matters on which members may vote every member is entitled to cast the percentage of votes equal to their percentage of ownership interest. Profits and losses an all items of income, gain or loss, deductions or other allocations of the Company will be allocated among the members in the same proportions as their membership interests in the Company bear to all the Class A and Class B membership interests of the Company in the aggregate outstanding. All of the depreciation and amortization of the assets of the Company will be allocated solely to the Class A members, unless and until their interests have been redeemed by the Company in full pursuant to the provisions of the operating agreement. During March 2013 the Company contributed $20,200 to HDM and the group of outside investors contributed $19,800 for its non-controlling membership interest.

NOTE 9 - CONTROLLING AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS (Continued)

To fund its capital contribution the Company borrowed a total of $14,000 from a bank in the form of a term loan aggregating $11,000 and a revolving credit loan aggregating $3,000. The term loan is payable in 60 consecutive monthly installments, commencing September 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. The Company can prepay the loan in whole or in part in multiples of $100 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 Company’s assets. The loan agreements also contain certain financial covenants that must be met on a periodic basis.

On March 5, 2013 HDM purchased from Health Diagnostics, LLC (“HD”) 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 $1,500 to outside investors) aggregating $35,900. Concurrently with the acquisition, HDM entered into several consulting and non-competition agreements for a consideration of $4,100. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of HDM from the date of acquisition. The Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on estimates of their respective fair values at the date of acquisition with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. Management is responsible for the valuation of net assets acquired and considered a number of factors, including valuations and appraisals, when estimating the fair values and estimated useful lives of acquired assets and liabilities. The intangible assets, excluding goodwill, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their weighted average lives as follows:

NOTE 12 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

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

There were no material changes in litigation from that reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

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 made various motion related to discovery, but now have agreed in principal to settle the case for $150, payable by Fonar in four installments and certain licenses and covenants not to sue. The final settlement agreement is being drafted and negotiated. The $150 has been accrued as of September 30, 2013 in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Bolt MRI Technologies v. Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America & Health Diagnostics, LLC, 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 alleged that the patent was assigned to Bolt. The settlement of the Bonutti case will cover this case as well.

Other Matters

The Company is also delinquent in filing sales tax returns for certain states, for which the Company has transacted business. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded tax obligations of approximately $2,682 plus interest and penalties of approximately $2,376. The Company is in the process of determining the 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 401(k) 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. 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.

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC topic 740 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48/FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a corporate tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits”. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryforward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC topic 740.

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

The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. In most instances, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2008.

The Company netted a deferred tax asset of $2,936 and a deferred tax liability of $462 as of September 30, 2013, primarily relating to net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $142,788 available to offset future taxable income through 2030. The net operating losses begin to expire in 2019 for federal tax purposes and in 2013 for state income tax purposes.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At present, the Company does have a sufficient history of income and anticipates profitability in the coming years and has concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be able to realize a portion of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance was established for the partial value of the deferred tax asset.

A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation. Should the Company become profitable in future periods with supportable trends, the valuation allowance will be reversed accordingly.

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During the period from October 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013, the Company issued 5 shares of common stock for costs and expenses of $45 and 8 shares of common stock to consultants as compensation valued at $67 under a stock bonus plan. Options for 10 shares pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan were exercised for $31.

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

For the three month period ended September 30, 2013, we reported a net income of $3.6 million on revenues of $16.8 million as compared to net income of $1.8 million on revenues of $9.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. We recognized an operating income of $4.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to an operating income of $1.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012.

The revenue increase of 77%, from $9.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013 to $16.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014, was due to an increase in management fees by 82.7%, from $5.7 million for the three months of fiscal 2013 to $10.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014. In addition, our revenue included $3.8 million in net patient revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2014, compared to no patient revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2013. Patient revenues represent fees for services paid directly by patients to facilities owned by us. All patient revenues are derived from Florida facilities acquired from Health Diagnostics, LLC in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Service and repair fees, however, decreased 7.2% from $2.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013 to $2.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014, and revenues from product sales decreased 97.3%, from $1.0 million for the first three months of 2013 to $28,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2014.

The increase in our revenues was larger than the increase in our costs and expenses, and we recognized increased operating income of $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to an operating income of $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in costs and expenses of 67.4% from $7.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013 to $12.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014, was less than the increase in revenues of 77%, from $9.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013 to $16.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014.

Fonar’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America (“HMCA”), is the controlling, but not sole owner of two limited liability companies, Imperial Management Services, LLC (“Imperial”) and Health Diagnostics Management (“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 “HMCA” for all periods.

Forward Looking Statements

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

Results of Operations

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

Effective May 2, 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 conducting the business of HMCA utilizing the same facilities, equipment and personnel. This transaction did not result in a change of control or policy, but was solely a means to raise capital.

Effective March 5, 2013, HDM, in which HMCA has a 50.5% interest, acquired twelve (12) Stand-Up® MRI Centers and two (2) other scanning centers. The contribution of these new scanning centers to the operating results of the Company are included for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Manufacturing and Service of MRI Equipment

For the three month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, revenues from MRI product sales decreased 97.3% ($28,000 compared to $1.0 million). Continuing tight credit and world-wide economic uncertainty have depressed the market for our MRI products, which in the overwhelming majority of cases are purchased on credit. Costs related to product sales decreased 95.5% from $1.1 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013 to $48,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2014, which corresponds to the decrease in product sales.

Service revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased 7.2% ($2.5 million compared to $2.7 million). We anticipate that service revenues will be essentially stable as warranties on installed scanners expire and the customers enter into service agreements.

Costs related to providing service for the first quarter decreased by 37% from $874,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to $550,000 in fiscal 2014. We believe that an important factor in controlling our service costs is our ability to monitor the performance of customers’ scanners from our facilities in Melville, New York on a daily basis, and to detect and repair any irregularities before more serious problems result.

There were approximately $229,000 in foreign revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2014 as compared to approximately $265,000 in foreign revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2013, representing a decrease in foreign revenues of 13.6%. We do not regard this as a material trend, but as part of a normal variation resulting from low volumes of foreign sales.

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

Revenues for the medical equipment segment as a whole decreased by 32% to $2.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014 from $3.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013. Operating results for our medical equipment segment decreased to an operating income of $162,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to an operating income of $227,000 for the first quarter of 2013.

Diagnostic Facilities Management Services

Trends in the first three months of fiscal 2014 show a continuing increase in management and other fee revenues, in contrast to the decline in product sales revenues and product service and repair fees.

HMCA revenues, increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 by 148.7% to $14.3 million from $5.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This dramatic increase is primarily due to the acquisition by HDM of an existing scanning center management business. This acquisition also accelerates the increase in the percentage of our revenues derived from our diagnostic facilities management segment relative to the percentage of our revenues derived from our medical equipment segment (84.7% for the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to 60.3% for the first three months of fiscal 2013). In addition to the acquisition by HMCA of a 50.5% interest in HDM, the increase in HMCA revenues was the result of increased marketing efforts for the scanning centers and the opening of a new center.

On February 13, 2013 the Company entered into an agreement with outside investors to acquire a 50.5% controlling interest in a newly formed limited liability company, HDM. During March 2013 the Company contributed $20,200,000 to HDM and the group of outside investors contributed $19,800,000 for its non-controlling membership interest.

To fund its capital contribution the Company 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. The Company 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 Company’s assets. The loan agreements also contain certain financial covenants that must be met on a periodic basis.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

On March 5, 2013 HDM purchased from Health Diagnostics, LLC (“HD”) and certain of HD’s 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.

We now manage twenty-five sites, twenty-three of which are equipped with Fonar Upright® MRI scanners (our Stand-Up® MRI Scanners are also called Upright® MRI Scanners). HMCA experienced an operating income of $3.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to operating income of $1.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013. The greater operating income was due primarily to the acquisition of HDM.

HMCA cost of revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2013 increased by 172.5% from $3.0 million to $8.1 million. HMCA’s cost of revenues includes expenditures we have been making to improve HMCA revenues through our marketing efforts, which focus on the unique capability of our Upright® MRI Scanners to scan patients in different positions.

Revenues, costs and expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 attributable to the HDM acquisition include revenues of $9.2 million, and costs and expenses of $6.6 million.

Consolidated

The increase in our consolidated net revenues of 77% from $9.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to $16.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was coupled with a increase of 67.4% in total costs and expenses from $7.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $12.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. As a result, our income from operations increased to $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 68.9% to $3.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 from $2.2 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013. The compensatory element of stock issuances, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, was $19,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and $0 for the first three months of fiscal 2013.

Research and development expenses increased by 19.7% to $395,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2014 as compared to $330,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2013.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Interest expense in the first three months of fiscal 2014 increased by 219.7% to $243,000 from $76,000 in the first three months of fiscal 2013. The increase was due to the additional debt for the acquisition of HDM.

Inventories remained constant at $2.1 million at September 30, 2013 and at June 30, 2013. This represents our purchase of raw materials and components which have not yet been used to fill orders.

Management fee and medical receivables increased by 6.4% to $23.4 million at September 30, 2013 from $22.0 million at June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily the result of the receivables acquired by HDM in connection with the purchase of the businesses managing fourteen (14) scanning centers from HD.

The overall trends reflected in the results of operations for the first three months of fiscal 2014 are an increase in revenues from management and other fees, as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2013 ($10.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014 as compared to $5.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013), and a decrease in MRI equipment segment revenues both absolutely ($2.6 million as compared to $3.8 million) and as compared to HMCA revenues. Revenues were $2.6 million or 15.3% from the MRI equipment segment as compared to $14.3 million or 84.7% from HMCA, for the first three months of fiscal 2014, as compared to $3.8 million or 39.7% from the MRI equipment segment and $5.7 million or 60.3%, from HMCA, for the first three months of fiscal 2013.

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law healthcare reform legislation in the form of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The implementation of this law could have a profound impact on the healthcare industry. Although PPACA remains the subject of significant debate, the Act has been held constitutional by the United States Supreme Court, and there is no indication that the Act will be repealed or substantially modified in the foreseeable future. We are unable to predict how the legislative mandates contained in PPACA and the regulations will affect our MRI equipment segment or HMCA in practice.

We are committed to improving our operating results. Nevertheless, factors beyond our control, such as the timing and rate of market growth which depend on economic conditions, including the availability of credit, payor reimbursement rates and policies, and unexpected expenditures or the timing of such expenditures, make it problematical to forecast future operating results. We believe we are pursuing the correct policies which should prove successful in improving the Company’s operating results.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Our Upright® MRI (also referred to as the Stand-Up® MRI), and Fonar-360™ MRI scanner, together with our works-in-progress, are intended to significantly improve our competitive position.

The Upright® MRI scanner, which operates at 6000 gauss (.6 Tesla) field strength, allows patients to be scanned while standing, sitting, reclining and in multiple flexion and extension positions. It is common in visualizing the spine that abnormalities are visualized in some positions and not others. This enables surgical corrections that heretofore would be unaddressable for lack of visualizing the symptom causing the pathology. A floor-recessed elevator brings the patient to the height appropriate for the targeted image region. A custom-built adjustable bed will allow patients to sit or lie on their backs, sides or stomachs at any angle. Full-range-of-motion studies of the joints in virtually any direction are possible and another promising feature for sports injuries.

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

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

This capability of the Fonar Upright® technology has demonstrated its key value on patients with the Arnold-Chiari syndrome, which is believed to affect 200,000 to 500,000 Americans. In this syndrome, brain stem compression and subsequent severe neurological symptoms occur in these patients, because the brain stem descends and is compressed at the base of the skull in the foramen magnum, which is the circular bony opening at the base of the skull where the spinal cord exits the skull. Conventional lie-down MRI scanners cannot make an adequate evaluation of 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.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

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

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

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

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

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

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 the Company’s 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 physicians to walk inside the magnet and achieve 360 degree access to the patient.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased by 17.4% from $7.9 million at June 30, 2013 to $9.2 million at September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of revenue generated by the acquisition of fourteen (14) scanning centers acquired by HDM.

Cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2014 was $3.9 million. Cash provided by operating activities was attributable to net income of $3.6 million, an increase of other current liabilities of $1.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $982,000, provision for bad debt of $1.9 million, offset by an increase in accounts, management fee and medical receivables of $4.0 million.

Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2014 was $229,000. The principal uses of cash used in investing activities during the first three months of fiscal 2014 consisted of patent costs of $47,000, and the purchase of property and equipment of $182,000.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Cash used by financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2014 was $2.3 million. The principal uses of cash in financing activities during the first three months of fiscal 2014 were the repayment of principal on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $970,000, along with distributions to non-controlling interests of $1.3 million.

Total liabilities decreased slightly by .02% to $35.3 million at September 30, 2013 from $35.4 million at June 30, 2013. Other current liabilities increased from $8.6 million at June 30, 2013 to $9.0 million at September 30, 2013 along with a decrease in long-term debt and capital leases from $12.9 million at June 30, 2013 to $11.6 million at September 30, 2013, an increase in the current portion of our long term debt from $2.9 million at June 30, 2013 to $3.2 million at September 30, 2013. Unearned revenue on service contracts increased to $5.6 million at September 30, 2013 as compared to $5.0 million at June 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, the total of $9.0 million in other current liabilities included accrued salaries and payroll taxes of $922,000, and sales taxes of $2.9 million plus accrued interest and penalties of $2.4 million.

Our working capital increased to $18.8 million at September 30, 2013 from $16.7 million at June 30, 2013. This resulted from an increase in current assets ($37.9 million at June 30, 2013 as compared to $41.1 million at September 30, 2013), and a smaller increase in current liabilities from $21.1 million at June 30, 2013 to $22.4 million at September 30, 2013.

Fonar has not committed to making any significant capital expenditures for the remainder of the 2014 fiscal year.

Our business plan calls for a continuing emphasis on providing our customers with enhanced equipment service and maintenance capabilities and delivering state-of-the-art, innovative and high quality equipment and upgrades at competitive prices.

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

The Company continues to focus its efforts on increased marketing campaigns to strengthen the demand for its products and services. Management is seeking to promote wider market recognition of Fonar’s scanner products, and increase demand for Upright® scanning at the facilities HMCA manages. Given the liquidity and credit constraints in the markets, the sale of medical equipment has and may continue to suffer.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management anticipates that Fonar’s capital resources will improve if (1) Fonar’s MRI scanner products gain wider market recognition and acceptance resulting in increased product sales, (2) service and maintenance revenues increase as warranties on scanners expire and (3) HMCA revenues are increased through the Company’s vigorous marketing efforts, the installation of more HMCA managed Upright® MRI scanners and HDM’s acquisition of fourteen (14) additional scanning centers. If our marketing efforts to increase revenues fail, and we are unable to raise debt or equity capital, we will experience a shortfall in cash, and it will be necessary to reduce operating expenses to attempt to avoid the need to curtail our operations. Current economic, credit and political conditions have contributed to a challenging business environment for our company. The precise impact of these conditions can not be fully predicted. There can be no assurance that we would be able to secure additional funds if needed.

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 September 30, 2014. The Company also has experienced, however, periods of working capital deficits and prior to fiscal 2011, losses. 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.
