NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

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 July 1, 2015, the Company restructured the corporate organization of the management of diagnostic imaging centers segment of our business. The reorganization was structured to more completely integrate the operations of Health Management Corporation of America and HDM. Imperial contributed all of its assets (which were utilized in the business of Health Management Corporation of America) to HDM and received a 24.2% interest in HDM. Health Management Corporation of America retained a direct ownership interest of 45.8% in HDM, and the original investors in HDM retained a 30.0% ownership interest in the newly expanded HDM. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased noncontrolling interests for $546,000 giving the Company a direct ownership interest of 70.8% and the investors’ a 29.2% ownership interest. The entire management of diagnostic imaging centers business segment is now being conducted by HDM.

 

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has caused turbulence and uncertainty in the United States and international markets and economies which has adversely effected our workforce, liquidity, financial conditions, revenues, profitability and business operations. The Company was able to enact certain decisions to allow the Company to navigate the global pandemic and from further losses, additional decreases in scan volume and avoid any significant disruption of the business. The Company must now take into account the severity, duration and recurrence of new strains of the COVID-19 virus which adds a new dimension to the challenges and uncertainty facing our business and the world economy in general. Although we are unable to predict if there will be additional consequences on our operations from the continuing global pandemic of COVID-19, the Company believes with the positive cash flows, low debt and cash on hand, it will be able to continue operations going forward.
