The Southern California Regional Gamma Knife Center
Note C – The Southern California Regional Gamma Knife Center

During 2007, the Company, through a noncontrolling interest in joint ventures, managed the formation of the Southern California Regional Gamma Knife Center at San Antonio Regional Hospital (“SARH”) in Upland, California.  Corona Gamma Knife, LLC (“CGK”) is party to a 14-year agreement with SARH to renovate space in the hospital and install and operate a Leksell PERFEXION gamma knife.  CGK leases the gamma knife from NeuroPartners LLC, which holds the gamma knife equipment.  In addition to returns on its ownership interests, USNC expects to receive fees for management services relating to the facility.

USNC is a 20% owner of NeuroPartners LLC and owns 39% of CGK.

USNC was a 20% guarantor on NeuroPartners LLC’s seven-year lease with respect to the gamma knife equipment and certain leasehold improvements at SARH.  In February 2016, NeuroPartners LLC negotiated a new five-year lease to fund the reloading of cobalt and related construction services.  The new lease of $1,663,000 included a balance of $668,000 from the prior lease obligations.  This new lease is payable over 60 months.  The first payment of $31,000 was paid on April 1, 2016 and the final payment will be due on March 1, 2021.  The Company continues to be a 20% guarantor on the new lease and expects any potential obligations from this guarantee would be reduced by the recovery of the related collateral, and thus expects any exposure from this guarantee to be remote.

Construction of the SARH gamma knife center was completed in December 2008 and the first patient was treated in January 2009.  The project has been funded principally by outside investors.  While the Company, through its joint ventures, has led the effort in organizing the business and overseeing the development and operation of the SARH center, its investment to date in the SARH center has been minimal.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s recorded investment of NeuroPartners LLC and CGK was $134,000 and $0, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s equity in earnings of NeuroPartners LLC and CGK was $134,000 and $80,000, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, amounts due from related parties was $8,000 and $23,000, respectively, including $20,000 of distributions receivable at December 31, 2019.  These distributions were received in 2020.
