MELVILLE, NEW YORK, February 9, 2015 - FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning™, reported its second quarter fiscal 2015 results for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. FONAR is the first Company in the MRI industry to manufacture an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner. FONAR’s substantial list of patents include recent patents for its technology enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging on all the gravity sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities, spine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow.

The Company’s two industry segments are the management of Stand-Up® MRI (UPRIGHT® MRI) centers, and the development, manufacturing and servicing of the UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI. It’s premier MRI product, the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI scanner, is the world’s only MRI scanner licensed under FONAR’s multiple UPRIGHT® MRI patents to scan all the patient’s body parts in their normal fully weight-bearing UPRIGHT® position.

Management Discussion
Raymond V. Damadian, president and chairman of FONAR Corporation said, “Since acquiring Health Diagnostics in March 2013, the Company’s net profit has gone from $1.6 million (for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2012) to $3.5 million (current quarter). That is almost $2 million more per quarter. Management is proud of this achievement.”

“We are still concerned about cuts in MRI reimbursement rates brought about by the Affordable Care Act,” said Dr. Damadian. “Nevertheless, we have dealt with these cuts and we continue to grow our business. This is because of the adherence to our business strategy which has made the difference.”

“At the core of our success is that our business centers around the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI. Our message to physicians,” said Dr. Damadian, “is that the UPRIGHT® MRI will provide a ‘BETTER PATIENT OUTCOME’ for their patient. Our physician users understand this and realize that you get the most accurate diagnosis available from the fully weight-loaded Multi-Position™ MRI provided by the FONAR UPRIGHT® versus that of the conventional weightless recumbent-only MRI. Most importantly, they don’t want to run the risk of failure to visualize structural abnormalities in the spines of their patients that could result in poor outcomes from their treatment.”

These physicians have learned from firsthand experience that the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI has the power to ‘SEE IT ALL’ and thus it’s use has become indispensable towards their ultimate objective of optimizing the TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR THEIR PATIENTS,” concluded Dr. Damadian.

About FONAR
FONAR (NASDAQ:FONR), Melville, NY, The Inventor of MR Scanning™, was incorporated in 1978, and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI company in the industry. FONAR introduced the world’s first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. Since its inception, nearly 300 recumbent-OPEN MRIs and 157 UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI scanners have been installed worldwide. FONAR’s stellar product is the UPRIGHT® MRI (also known as the Stand-Up® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position™ imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI often sees the patient’s problem that other scanners cannot because they are lie-down and ”weightless” only scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. As a FONAR customer states, “If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they’ll be claustrophobic in my parking lot.” Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while they watch a 42” flat screen TV. FONAR is headquartered on Long Island, New York.
