Description of Business

 

FONAR Corporation (the “Company” or “FONAR”) is a Delaware corporation, which was incorporated on July 17, 1978. FONAR is engaged in the research, development, production and marketing of medical scanning equipment, which uses principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI") for the detection and diagnosis of human diseases. In addition to deriving revenues from the direct sale of MRI equipment, revenue is also generated from our installed-base of customers through our service and upgrade programs.

 

FONAR, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Health Management Corporation of America ("HMCA") provides comprehensive management services to diagnostic imaging facilities. The services provided by the Company include development, administration, leasing of office space, facilities and medical equipment, provision of supplies, staffing and supervision of non-medical personnel, legal services, accounting, billing and collection and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies.

 

On March 5, 2013, the Company acquired a majority interest in a newly formed limited liability company, Health Diagnostics Management LLC (HDM), a business managing 12 Stand-Up MRI centers and 2 other scanning centers located in Florida and New York for a total cost of $40 million. HDM has a perpetual existence. See Note 9.

 

During May 2011, HMCA contributed all of its assets together with its liabilities to a newly formed limited liability company, Imperial Management Services, LLC (“Imperial”), which has a perpetual existence. As of June 30, 2014, Imperial manages 11 diagnostic imaging facilities which are located in the states of New York and Florida.
