BUSINESS GENERAL American Shared Hospital Services ("ASHS" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") provides Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery services to ten medical centers in nine states. The Company provides these services through its 81% indirect interest in GK Financing, LLC, a California limited liability company ("GKF"). The remaining 19% of GKF is owned by GKV Investments, Inc., a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Elekta AG, a Swedish company ("Elekta"). Elekta is the manufacturer of the Leksell Gamma Knife (the "Gamma Knife"). GKF is a non-exclusive provider of alternative financing services for Elekta. Gamma Knife services accounted for 100% of the Company's revenues in 2000. At present, the Company is developing its business model for "The Operating Room for the 21st Century(SM)" ("OR21(SM)"). The Company also is exploring Internet-related business opportunities, through its MedLeader.com subsidiary ("MedLeader"), that relate strategically and operationally to its existing and developing lines of business. The Company has decided to delay continued development of MedLeader as a stand alone business. Neither OR21 nor MedLeader are expected to generate significant revenues within the next twelve months. The Company's former insurance services business did not contribute significant revenues and was discontinued during 1999. In November 1998, the Company sold its diagnostic imaging business to affiliates of Alliance Imaging, Inc. (the "Purchaser") for $13,552,000 in cash and the assumption by the Purchaser of substantially all of the liabilities of the diagnostic imaging business, including approximately $27.1 million in debt. Prior to that sale, the Company provided Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI"), Computed Axial Tomography, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory services to approximately 190 customers in 22 states. The diagnostic imaging business provided approximately 88% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company was incorporated in the state of California in 1983 and its predecessor, Ernest A. Bates, M.D., Ltd. (d/b/a American Shared Hospital Services), a California limited partnership, was formed in June 1980. GAMMA KNIFE OPERATIONS Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery, a non-invasive procedure, is an alternative to conventional brain surgery or can be an adjunct to conventional brain surgery. Compared to conventional surgery, Gamma Knife surgery usually involves shorter patient hospitalization, lower risk of complications and can be provided at a lower cost. Typically, Gamma Knife patients resume their normal activities one or two days after treatment. The Gamma Knife treats the patient with 201 single doses of gamma rays that are focused with great precision on small and medium, well circumscribed and critically located structures in the brain. The Gamma Knife delivers the concentrated dose of gamma rays from 201 sources of Cobalt 60 housed in the Gamma Knife. The 201 Cobalt 60 sources converge at the target area and deliver a dose that is high enough to destroy the diseased tissue without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. The Gamma Knife treats selected benign brain tumors (i.e. meningiomas, pituitary and acoustic neuromas, craniopharyngiomas), malignant tumors (i.e. solitary and multiple metastatic tumors, gliomas, nasopharyngeal carcinomas and ocular meningiomas), arteriovenous malformations and trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain). Research is being conducted to determine whether the Gamma Knife can be effective in the treatment of epilepsy, Parkinson's Disease and other functional disorders. There are currently 64 Gamma Knife units operating at 62 sites in the United States and approximately 155 units in operation worldwide. As of December 31, 2000, approximately 150,000 procedures had been performed worldwide. An estimated percentage breakdown of these Gamma Knife procedures performed in the U.S. by indications treated are as follows: malignant (41%) and benign (32%) brain tumors, vascular disorders (17%) and functional disorders (10%). 1 3 The Company, as of March 9, 2001, has ten (10) Gamma Knife units operating at ten (10) sites in the United States. In addition, the Company has four (4) more hospitals that are currently under development. The Company's first Gamma Knife commenced operation in September 1991. The Company's Gamma Knife units had performed approximately 1,200 procedures in 2000 for a cumulative total of 4,200 procedures through December 31, 2000. Gamma Knife revenues for the Company during the five (5) years ended December 31, 2000 and the percentage of total revenues of the Company represented by the Gamma Knife for each of the last five years are set forth below:
TOTAL GAMMA KNIFE GAMMA KNIFE/ YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, REVENUES (IN THOUSANDS) TOTAL REVENUES ----------------------- ----------------------- -------------- 2000..................... $9,336 100.0% 1999..................... $7,151 99.9% 1998..................... $4,156 11.8% 1997..................... $2,384 6.4% 1996..................... $2,030 5.5%
The Company conducts its Gamma Knife business through its 81% indirect interest in GKF. The remaining 19% interest is indirectly owned by Elekta. GKF, formed in October 1995, is managed by its policy committee. The policy committee is composed of one representative from the Company, Ernest A. Bates, M.D., the Company's Chairman and CEO, and one representative from Elekta. The policy committee sets the operating policy for GKF. The policy committee may act only with the unanimous approval of all of its members. The policy committee selects a manager to handle GKF's daily operations. Craig K. Tagawa, Chief Executive Officer of GKF and Chief Operating and Financial Officer of the Company, serves as GKF's manager. GKF profits and/or losses and any cash distributions are allocated based on membership interests. GKF's Operating Agreement requires that it have a cash reserve of at least $50,000 before cash distributions are made to its members. From inception to December 31, 2000, GKF distributed $3,178,000 to the Company. RISKS OF GAMMA KNIFE BUSINESS There are significant risks involved in the Company's Gamma Knife business, including the following: - Each Gamma Knife unit requires a substantial capital investment. The Company's cost for a Gamma Knife unit historically has been approximately $2,775,000. In some cases, the Company contributes additional funds for capital costs and/or annual operating costs such as marketing. Due to the structure of its contracts with medical centers, there can be no assurance that these costs will be fully recovered or that the Company will earn a satisfactory return on its investment. - There is a limited market for the Gamma Knife. Due to the substantial costs of acquiring a Gamma Knife, the Company must identify medical centers that possess neurosurgery and oncology departments capable of performing a large number of Gamma Knife procedures. The Company has identified approximately 200 such medical centers in the United States as potential future sites. There currently are 64 operating Gamma Knife units in the United States, ten (10) of which are Company owned units. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in placing additional units at a significant number of sites in the future. - There currently are four companies (in addition to the Company) that supply the Gamma Knife to potential customers. There are no competitor companies that currently have more than four (4) Gamma Knife units in operation. The Company does not currently have an exclusive relationship with Elekta and has lost sales in the past to customers that choose to purchase a Gamma Knife directly from Elekta. In addition, the Company may continue to lose sales in the future to such customers and may also lose sales to competitors of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete against others to place units in the future. 2 4 - There are several methods of radiosurgery (including the modified linear accelerator) as well as conventional neurosurgery that compete against the Gamma Knife. Currently, there are approximately 200 medical centers in the United States with modified linear accelerators. Each of the medical centers targeted by the Company could decide to acquire another radiosurgery modality instead of a Gamma Knife. In addition, neurosurgeons who are primarily responsible for referring patients for Gamma Knife surgery may not be willing to make such referrals for various reasons, instead opting for invasive surgery. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure a sufficient number of sites or Gamma Knife procedures to sustain its profitability and growth. - The amount reimbursed to medical centers for each Gamma Knife treatment may decline in the future. The reimbursement decrease may come from federally mandated programs (i.e. Medicare and Medicaid) or other third party payor groups. Eight (8) of the Company's existing contracts are reimbursed by the medical center to the Company on a fee-for-service basis. The primary risk to the Company under this type of contract is that actual volumes of procedures could be less than projected. However, a significant reimbursement rate reduction may result in the Company restructuring certain of its existing contracts. The Company also has two contracts where it receives revenues based directly on the amount of reimbursement received for procedures performed. Revenues under those contracts and any future contracts with revenues based directly on reimbursement amounts will be impacted by any reimbursement rate change. Some of the Company's future contracts for Gamma Knife services may have revenues based on such reimbursement rates instead of a fee-for-service basis. There can be no assurance that future changes in healthcare regulations and reimbursement rates will not directly or indirectly adversely affect the Company's Gamma Knife revenues. - As with other highly sophisticated medical equipment, there is constant change and innovation in the market. New and improved medical equipment can be introduced that could make the Gamma Knife technology obsolete and that would make its operation uneconomic. During the past year, Elekta introduced an upgraded Gamma Knife which costs approximately $3.4 million plus applicable tax and duties. This upgrade includes an Automated Patient Positioning system ("APS") and therefore involves less health care provider intervention. Nine (9) of the Company's existing Gamma Knife units are upgradeable. The cost to upgrade existing units to the new model C Gamma Knife with APS is estimated to be approximately $900,000. 3 5 CUSTOMERS The Company's current business is the outsourcing of Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery services. The Company typically provides the Gamma Knife equipment, as well as planning, installation and marketing support services. Customers usually pay the Company on a fee-per-use basis. The market for these services primarily consists of major urban medical centers. The Gamma Knife business is capital intensive. The total cost of a Gamma Knife facility usually ranges from $3.25 million to $4 million, including equipment, site construction and installation. The Company's typical, historical costs for acquisition are approximately $2,775,000 with the medical center paying for site and installation costs. The following is a listing of the Company's current sites and sites under development as of March 9, 2001:
ORIGINAL CUSTOMER TERM OF CONTRACT BASIS OF PAYMENT -------- ---------------- ---------------- EXISTING SITES UCSF Medical Center 10 years Fee per use San Francisco, California Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian ("Hoag") 10 years Fee per use Newport Beach, California Southwest Texas Methodist Hospital ("STMH") 10 years Fee per use San Antonio, Texas Yale New Haven Ambulatory Services Corporation ("Yale") 10 years Revenue sharing New Haven, Connecticut Kettering Medical Center 10 years Fee per use Kettering, Ohio New England Medical Center 10 years Fee per use Boston, Massachusetts University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences ("UAMS") 15 years Revenue sharing Little Rock, Arkansas Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital 10 years Fee per use Milwaukee, Wisconsin JFK Medical Center 10 years Fee per use Edison, New Jersey Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center 10 years Fee per use Las Vegas, Nevada SITES UNDER DEVELOPMENT Central Mississippi Medical Center 10 years Fee per use Jackson, Mississippi OSF Saint Francis Medical Center 10 years Fee per use Peoria, Illinois Hospital Barra D'Or 10 years Revenue Sharing Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Lima, Peru 10 years Revenue Sharing
The Company's second Gamma Knife contract, with the University of Southern California ended in the third quarter of 1999. The customer exercised its option to purchase the equipment for its net book value, approximately $1.2 million. Currently, two of the Company's sites now under development are projected to become operational in the second quarter of 2001 and two additional contracts are expected to become operational in the fourth quarter of 2001 or in early 2002. The Company's contract with Hospital Barra D'Or currently is being renegotiated with the customer in light of the changes in the Brazilian economic environment. If the contract cannot be successfully renegotiated, it will be terminated. The Company's fee per use agreement is typically for a ten-year term. The fixed fee per use reimbursement amount that the Company receives from the customer is based on the Company's cost to provide the service and the anticipated volumes of the customer. The contracts signed by the Company typically call for a fee ranging from $7,500 to $9,500 per procedure. There are no minimum volume guarantees 4 6 required of the customer. Typically, GKF is responsible for providing the Gamma Knife and related ongoing Gamma Knife equipment expenses (i.e. personal property taxes, insurance, equipment maintenance) and also helps fund the customer's Gamma Knife marketing. The customer generally is obligated to pay site and installation costs and the costs of operating the Gamma Knife. The customer can either renew the agreement or terminate the agreement at the end of the contractual term. If the customer chooses to terminate the agreement, then GKF removes the equipment from the medical center for possible placement at a future site. The Company's revenue sharing agreements are typically for a period of ten to fifteen years. Instead of receiving a fixed fee, the Company receives all or a percentage of the reimbursement (exclusive of physician fees) received by the customer less the operating expenses of the Gamma Knife. The Company is at risk for any reimbursement rate changes for Gamma Knife services by the government or other third party payors. The Company is also at risk if it inefficiently operates the Gamma Knife. There are no minimum volume guarantees required of the customer. Four customers each accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenues in 2000 and 1999: Hoag, STMH, Yale and UAMS. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total revenues in 1998, but each of the five Gamma Knife customers in 1998 accounted for more than 10% of the Company's Gamma Knife services revenues that year. MARKETING At the end of 2000, the Company employed no sales executive. The Company's new Vice President of Sales will join the Company starting April 2, 2001. The Company markets its services through its preferred provider status with Elekta and a direct sales effort. The major advantages to a health care provider in contracting with the Company for Gamma Knife services include: - The medical center avoids the high cost of owning the equipment. By not acquiring the Gamma Knife unit, the medical center is able to allocate the funds required to purchase and/or finance the Gamma Knife to other projects. - The medical center avoids the risk of Gamma Knife under-utilization. The Company does not have minimum volume requirements. The medical center pays the Company only for each Gamma Knife procedure performed on a patient. - The medical center transfers the risk of technological obsolescence to the Company. The medical center and its physicians are not under any obligation to utilize technologically obsolete equipment. - The Company provides planning, installation, operating and marketing assistance and support to its Gamma Knife customers. FINANCING The Company's Gamma Knife business is operated through GKF. GKF has funded its existing Gamma Knife units with loans from a single lender for 100% of the cost of each Gamma Knife, plus any sales tax, customs and duties. The loans are fully amortized over an 84-month period. The loans are collateralized by the Gamma Knife, customer contracts, and accounts receivable and are without recourse to the Company and Elekta. GKF currently has loan commitments and has received progress payments from its primary lender for two (2) of its four (4) Gamma Knife projects under development. The loan commitments require that GKF have a debt to equity plus subordinated debt ratio of 6 to 1. GKF currently meets the ratio requirement to be eligible for funding of the approximately $6,100,000 remaining cash requirements for its four (4) projects under development. COMPETITION Conventional neurosurgery is the primary competitor of Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Gamma Knife surgery is gaining acceptance as an alternative and/or adjunct to conventional surgery due to its more 5 7 favorable morbidity outcomes for certain procedures as well as its non-invasiveness. Utilization of the Company's Gamma Knife units is contingent on the acceptance of Gamma Knife radiosurgery by the customer's neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists and referring physicians. In addition, the utilization of the Company's Gamma Knife units is impacted by the proximity of competing Gamma Knife centers and providers using other radiosurgery modalities. The Company's ability to contract with additional customers for Gamma Knife services is dependent on its ability to compete against (i) Elekta, the manufacturer of the Gamma Knife, (ii) manufacturers of competing radiosurgery devices (primarily modified linear accelerators), and (iii) other companies that outsource Gamma Knife services. The Company does not have an exclusive relationship with Elekta and has lost sales in the past to customers that choose to purchase a Gamma Knife directly from Elekta. The Company may continue to lose sales in the future to such customers and may also lose sales to competitors of the Company. GOVERNMENT REGULATION The Company's Gamma Knife services customers receive payments for patient care from federal government and private insurer reimbursement programs. Currently in the United States, the majority of Gamma Knife services are performed on an in-patient basis, although a significant number are performed on an out-patient basis. A Prospective Payment System ("PPS") is utilized to reimburse hospitals for care given to hospital in-patients covered by federally funded reimbursement programs. Patients are classified into a Diagnosis Related Group ("DRG") in accordance with the patient's diagnosis, necessary medical procedures and other factors. Patient reimbursement is limited to a predetermined amount for each DRG. The reimbursement payment may not necessarily cover the cost of all medical services actually provided because the payment is predetermined. Effective October 1, 1997, Gamma Knife services for Medicare hospital in-patients were reclassified from DRG 1 to either DRG 7 or DRG 8. This reclassification is estimated to have reduced medical center revenues from the Medicare DRG program by approximately 30%. In 1986 and again in 1990, Congress enacted legislation requiring the Department of Health and Human Services ("DHHS") to develop proposals for a PPS for Medicare out-patient services. DHHS has proposed a new payment system, Ambulatory Product Classifications ("APC"), which affects all out-patient services, performed in a hospital based facility. APC implementation took place in the third quarter of 2000. The APC consists of 346 clinically, homogenous classifications or groupings of codes that are typically used in out-patient billing. Out-patient services are bundled with fixed rates of payment determined according to specific regional and national factors, similar to that of the in-patient PPS. Gamma Knife patients, with Medicare as their primary insurer and treated on either an in-patient or out-patient basis, comprise an estimated 20% to 30% of the total Gamma Knife patients treated. The reimbursement for Medicare patients receiving Gamma Knife services on an out-patient basis is estimated to have decreased approximately 40% under the APC system. The Company has two contracts from which revenues are directly affected by changes in payment rates under the APC system. Currently, these two contracted hospitals are primarily treating Medicare Gamma Knife patients on an in-patient basis and therefore the Company believes that adoption of APC's has not had a significant impact on the revenues of the Company. However, some of the Company's fee-per-use customers treat patients on an out-patient basis and may have experienced a reduction in Medicare payment. There can be no assurance that the adoption of APC's will not have a negative impact directly or indirectly on the Company's revenues in the future. The payment of remuneration to induce the referral of health care business has been a subject of increasing governmental and regulatory focus in recent years. Section 1128B(b) of the Social Security Act (sometimes referred to as the "federal anti-kickback statute") provides criminal penalties for individuals or entities that knowingly and willfully offer, pay, solicit or receive remuneration in order to induce referrals for items or services for which payment may be made under the Medicare and Medicaid programs and certain other government funded programs. The Social Security Act provides authority to the Office of Inspector 6 8 General through civil proceedings to exclude an individual or entity from participation in the Medicare and state health programs if it is determined any such party has violated Section 1128B(b) of the Social Security Act. The Company believes that it is in compliance with the federal anti-kickback statute. Additionally, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, often referred to as "Stark II", bans physician self-referrals to providers of designated health services with which the physician has a financial relationship. The term "designated health services" includes, among others, radiation therapy services and in-patient and outpatient hospital services. On January 1, 1995, the Physician Ownership and Referral Act of 1993 became effective in California. This legislation prohibits physician self-referrals for covered goods and services, including radiation oncology, if the physician (or the physician's immediate family) concurrently has a financial interest in the entity receiving the referral. The Company believes that it is in compliance with these rules and regulations. A range of federal civil and criminal laws target false claims and fraudulent billing activities. One of the most significant is the Federal False Claims Act, which prohibits the submission of a false claim or the making of a false record or statement in order to secure a reimbursement from a government-sponsored program. In recent years, the federal government has launched several initiatives aimed at uncovering practices which violate false claims or fraudulent billing laws. Claims under these laws may be brought either by the government or by private individuals on behalf of the government, through a "whistleblower" or "qui tam" action. The Company believes that it is in compliance with the Federal False Claims Act; however, because such actions are filed under seal and may remain secret for years, there can be no assurance that the Company or one of its affiliates is not named in a material qui tam action. Legislation in various jurisdictions requires that health facilities obtain a Certificate of Need ("CON") prior to making expenditures for medical technology in excess of specified amounts. Two of the Company's existing customers were required to obtain a CON or its equivalent. Two more of the Company's more recently signed contracts were subject to CONs. The CON procedure can be expensive and time consuming and may impact the length of time before Gamma Knife services commence. CON requirements vary from state to state in their application to the operations of both the Company and its customers. In some jurisdictions the Company is required to comply with CON procedures to provide its services and in other jurisdictions customers must comply with CON procedures before using the Company's services. The Company's Gamma Knife units contain Cobalt 60 radioactive sources. The medical centers that house the Company's Gamma Knife units are responsible for obtaining possession and user's licenses for the Cobalt 60 source. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with the various rules and regulations that affect its businesses. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION The Company's contracts with equipment vendors generally do not contain indemnification provisions. The Company maintains a comprehensive insurance program covering the value of its property and equipment, subject to deductibles, which the Company believes are reasonable. The Company's customer contracts generally contain mutual indemnification provisions. The Company maintains general and professional liability insurance. The Company is not involved in the practice of medicine and therefore believes its present insurance coverage and indemnification agreements are adequate for its business. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 2000, the Company employed eight (8) employees on a full-time basis. None of these employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement and there is no union representation within the Company. The Company maintains various employee benefit plans and believes that its employee relations are good. 7 9 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY The following table provides current information concerning those persons who serve as executive officers of the Company.

The Company estimates that there were approximately 1,200 beneficial holders of its Common Shares at December 31, 2000. The Board of Directors also authorized in March 1999 the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in the open market from time to time at prevailing prices. Approximately 330,000 shares were repurchased in the open market pursuant to that authorization, through December 31, 2000, at a cost of approximately $806,000. The Board of Directors on February 2, 2001 authorized the repurchase of up to another 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market from time to time at prevailing prices. During 2000 holders of warrants and of options to acquire the Company's common stock exercised their respective rights pursuant to such securities, resulting in the Company issuing approximately 92,000 new shares of common stock for approximately $150,000. On March 22, 1999, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan ("Plan"). Under the Plan, the Company made a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock as of the close of business on April 1, 1999. The Rights become exercisable only if any person or group, with certain exceptions, becomes an "acquiring person" (acquires 15 percent or more of the Company's outstanding common stock) or announces a tender or exchange offer to acquire 15 percent or more of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company's Board of Directors adopted the Plan to protect shareholders against a coercive or inadequate takeover offer. The Board of Directors is not aware that any person or group intends to make a takeover offer for the Company. At December 31, 2000 the Company had 5,537,663 fully diluted shares outstanding, including 3,711,292 issued and outstanding common shares, 1,820,000 common shares reserved for options, and 5,504 shares reserved pursuant to the Company's Shareholder Rights Plan. Shareholders of record on March 15, 2001 will be paid a dividend of $0.10 per common share on April 2, 2001. The Board of Directors anticipates declaring and paying annual cash dividends in similar amounts in the future subject to evaluation of the Company's level of earnings, balance sheet position and availability of cash.

See accompanying note (1) In October 1995, the Company entered into an operating agreement granting to American Shared Radiosurgery Services (a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) an 81% ownership interest in GK Financing, LLC. ASHS incorporated a new wholly-owned subsidiary, OR21, Inc. ("OR21") in November 1999, and a new wholly-owned subsidiary, MedLeader.com, Inc. ("MedLeader") in April 2000. Accordingly, the financial data for the Company presented above include the results of GKF for 1996 through 2000, OR21 for 1999 and 2000, and MedLeader for 2000. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, approximately 100%, 100% and 12% respectively, of the Company's revenues were derived from its Gamma Knife business. The Company in November 1998 sold its diagnostic imaging business which accounted for 0%, 0% and 88% of the Company's total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As a result, the 10 12 Company was relieved of substantially all of the liabilities of the imaging division, consisting of approximately $27,100,000 of debt and other obligations, and received approximately $13,500,000 in cash. The sale of its imaging division resulted in a one-time gain of $20,478,000 in 1998, which eliminated the Company's capital deficiency. Following the sale, the Company's operations were significantly reduced and it has substantially reduced its staff. Accordingly the discussions below related to 1998 predominantly reflect the Company's operations prior to the sale of its imaging division. The Company had net income of $1,312,000 ($0.34 per share) on medical services revenues of $9,336,000 in 2000. Net income in 2000 included restructuring expenses of $120,000 and startup costs of $228,000 for its OR21 and MedLeader subsidiaries. The Company had net income of $2,707,000 ($0.68 per share) on medical services revenues of $7,156,000 in 1999. Included in net income for 1999 is an insurance expense credit of $325,000 and an income tax benefit of $716,000. The Company had net income of $20,051,000 ($4.23 per share) on medical services revenues of $35,162,000 in 1998. Included in net income for 1998 is a $20,478,000 gain on disposal of product line less related income taxes of $1,500,000. TOTAL REVENUES
INCREASE INCREASE 2000 (DECREASE) 1999 (DECREASE) 1998 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Medical services......................... $9,336 30.5% $7,156 (79.6)% $35,162
Medical services revenues increased 30.5% in 2000 compared to 1999, and decreased 79.6% in 1999 compared to 1998. The increase in 2000 compared to 1999 is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Gamma Knife units in operation and increased revenues at Gamma Knife locations in operation for more than one year. The decrease in 1999 compared to 1998 is primarily attributable to the sale of the Company's imaging division, which occurred in November 1998. Gamma Knife revenues increased $2,185,000 and $2,995,000 in 2000 and 1999, respectively, compared to the prior years. The 2000 increase was due to the full year inclusion of four new Gamma Knife units which started at various times during 1999, the commencement of its newest Gamma Knife unit in April 2000, and a 20% increase in revenues for Gamma Knife units in operation more than one year. The increase was partially offset by the expiration of the Company's second Gamma Knife contract in the fourth quarter of 1999. The customer purchased the Gamma Knife after the expiration of the contract for $1,200,000 in cash. The 1999 increase was primarily due to the commencement of four new Gamma Knife contracts during 1999 (one in second quarter, two in third quarter, and one in fourth quarter), full year inclusion of two Gamma Knife units that began operation during 1998 (first and third quarters), and a 24% increase in revenues for Gamma Knife units in operation more than one year. The Company had nine, eight and five Gamma Knife units in operation at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company did not have MRI, non-MRI diagnostic imaging services, or contract service (Respiratory Therapy services and Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory) revenues in 2000 and 1999. In 1998, MRI revenues were $26,498,000, non-MRI diagnostic imaging services revenues were $3,345,000, and contract services revenues were $1,150,000. The revenue decrease in 1999 compared to 1998 was attributable to the sale of the imaging division, which was comprised of MRI, non-MRI diagnostic imaging services and contract services. In 1998, MRI revenues were 75%, non-MRI diagnostic imaging services were 10%, and contract services revenues were 3% of total medical services revenues. COSTS OF OPERATIONS
INCREASE INCREASE 2000 (DECREASE) 1999 (DECREASE) 1998 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Costs of operations...................... $3,435 58.7% $2,165 (91.6)% $25,826 Percentage of revenue.................... 36.8% 30.3% 73.4%
The Company's costs of operations, consisting of payroll, maintenance and supplies, depreciation and amortization, equipment rental and other operating expenses (such as vehicle fuel, building rents, regional 11 13 office costs, insurance, property taxes, bad debt expense, fees and training expenses) increased $1,270,000 in 2000 as compared to 1999 and decreased $23,661,000 in 1999 as compared to 1998. Medical services payroll decreased by $3,000 in 2000 compared to 1999 and by $7,084,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. This decrease is due to the sale of the imaging division and the fact that the Company does not currently provide labor as a component of its Gamma Knife services. Medical services payroll costs, as a percent of medical services revenues, were 0% in 2000, less than 1% in 1999 and 20% in 1998. The Company's maintenance and supplies costs were 2%, 2% and 15% of medical service revenues in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Maintenance and supplies costs increased $44,000 in 2000 compared to 1999 and decreased $5,041,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. The increase in 2000 was primarily due to the expiration of the warranty period on three Gamma Knife units. The decrease in 1999 was primarily due to the sale of the imaging division. Maintenance and supply costs for Gamma Knife services increased $63,000 in 1999 compared to 1998 primarily due to the expiration of the warranty period on three units. Depreciation and amortization increased $652,000 in 2000 compared to 1999 and decreased $3,940,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. The increase in 2000 was due to the addition of a new Gamma Knife unit in second quarter 2000 and a full year's depreciation on four new Gamma Knife units that started operation during 1999. The decrease in 1999 was primarily attributable to the sale of the imaging division. The decrease was partially offset by the addition of four Gamma Knife units during 1999. Depreciation and amortization for Gamma Knife services in 2000 and in 1999 increased $652,000 and $573,000, respectively, compared to prior years. The increase in 1999 was mitigated because the Company's second Gamma Knife unit, which was sold, was depreciated to its salvage value during third quarter 1999. Equipment rental as a percentage of medical services revenues was 0% in 2000 and 1999 and 12% in 1998. The Company's Gamma Knife services currently do not require the rental of equipment. Equipment rental decreased $4,064,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. The decrease in 1999 was due to the sale of the imaging division. Other costs of operations as a percentage of medical services revenues were 10%, 6% and 11% in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase of $577,000 in 2000 compared to 1999 is due to operating expenses at the Company's retail site that started in September 1999, increased property taxes and insurance due to additional Gamma Knife units, and increased marketing costs. The decrease of $3,532,000 in 1999 compared to 1998 was primarily attributable to the sale of the imaging division. Other costs of operations for Gamma Knife services increased $135,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. This increase was primarily due to increased insurance costs and property taxes because of additional Gamma Knife units, as well as increased marketing costs. SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE
INCREASE INCREASE 2000 (DECREASE) 1999 (DECREASE) 1998 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------ (IN THOUSANDS) Selling and administrative costs.......... $2,655 47.3% $1,803 (64.8)% $5,116 Percentage of revenue..................... 28.4% 25.2% 14.5%
The Company's selling and administrative costs increased $852,000 in 2000 compared to 1999 and decreased $3,313,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. The increase in 2000 was primarily due to startup costs of approximately $228,000 on the Company's two newest ventures, OR21 and MedLeader, management and employee bonuses of approximately $125,000, and restructuring costs of approximately $120,000 resulting in the elimination of two senior management positions. The increase in 2000 was also caused by inclusion in 1999 of a $325,000 credit due to a change in estimate regarding the need for and the corresponding cost of liability insurance related to divested operations. The decrease in 1999 was primarily due to the sale of the imaging division, as well as the previously mentioned insurance expense credit. 12 14 INTEREST EXPENSE
INCREASE INCREASE 2000 (DECREASE) 1999 (DECREASE) 1998 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------ (IN THOUSANDS) Interest expense.......................... $2,118 61.8% $1,309 (58.9)% $3,186 Percentage of revenue..................... 22.7% 18.3% 9.1%
The Company's interest expense increased $809,000 in 2000 compared to 1999 and decreased $1,877,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. The increase in 2000 was primarily due to the addition of five new Gamma Knife units during 1999 and 2000, all of which were financed. The decrease in 1999 was primarily attributable to the sale of the imaging division offset by increased interest related to Gamma Knife units. Interest expense for Gamma Knife units increased $811,000 and $528,000 in 2000 and 1999 compared to prior years. Interest as a percentage of revenue increased from 18.3% in 1999 to 22.7% in 2000 because all of the Company's operating Gamma Knife units are financed by means of interest bearing debt. Five of the Company's nine Gamma Knife units have been in operation for less than two years, and have higher interest expense than units with more mature loans because interest expense decreases with each subsequent loan payment. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
INCREASE INCREASE 2000 (DECREASE) 1999 (DECREASE) 1998 ----- ---------- ----- ---------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Gain (loss) on sale of assets and early termination of capital leases........... $ 25 150.0% $ 10 600.0% $ (2) Percentage of revenue..................... 0.3% 0.1% 0.0% Gain on sale of product line.............. $ 0 NM $ 0 100.0% $20,478 Percentage of revenue..................... 0.0% 0.0% 58.2% Interest and other income................. $ 804 33.3% $ 603 174.1% $ 220 Percentage of revenue..................... 8.6% 8.4% 0.6% Minority interest......................... $(645) 28.7% $(501) 201.8% $ (166) Percentage of revenue..................... (6.9)% (7.0)% (0.5)%
The Company's gain on sale of product line decreased to $0 in 2000 and 1999 from $20,478,000 in 1998. The gain on sale of product line in 1998 represents the gain associated with the sale of the imaging division. The gain was net of transaction costs of approximately $2,700,000. Transaction costs include legal, investment banking and management bonuses related to the sale of the imaging division; employee severance costs; and the costs related to the discontinuance of the diagnostic imaging division. Gain on sale of assets and early termination of capital leases increased $15,000 in 2000 and increased $12,000 in 1999 compared to prior years. Interest and other income increased $201,000 in 2000 and $383,000 in 1999 compared to prior years. The increase in both 2000 and 1999 was primarily due to additional interest income from higher cash balances that are invested in overnight securities. Minority interest increased $144,000 in 2000 and $335,000 in 1999 compared to prior years. Minority interest represents the pre-tax income earned by the minority member's 19% interest in GKF. The increase in minority interest reflects the increased profitability of GKF. INCOME TAXES
INCREASE INCREASE 2000 (DECREASE) 1999 (DECREASE) 1998 ---- ---------- ----- ---------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Income tax benefit (expense)................ $ 0 (100.0)% $ 716 147.3% $(1,513) Percentage of revenue....................... 0.0% 10.0% (4.3)%
The Company recorded no income tax expense or benefit in 2000 because a valuation allowance was provided for its entire deferred tax asset in excess of its deferred tax liability. Future profits of the Company 13 15 are expected to generate tax expense, as the Company anticipates that future deferred tax liability will exceed future deferred tax assets and thus the valuation allowance will be eliminated. The Company received an income tax benefit of $716,000 in 1999 compared to an income tax provision of $1,513,000 in 1998, a decrease in income tax expense of $2,229,000. The $716,000 income tax benefit is primarily a result of an overestimate of the federal and state income tax provision in 1998 resulting from the sale of the imaging division. The overestimate was adjusted in 1999 when tax returns were completed for filing with taxing agencies. The Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax return purposes at December 31, 2000 of approximately $8,411,000. NET INCOME
INCREASE INCREASE 2000 (DECREASE) 1999 (DECREASE) 1998 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) Net income............................... $1,312 (51.5)% $2,707 (86.5)% $20,051 Net income per share..................... $ 0.34 (50.0)% $ 0.68 (83.9)% $ 4.23
The Company had net income of $1,312,000 in 2000 compared to $2,707,000 in 1999 and $20,051,000 in 1998. Net income for 2000 included restructuring costs of $120,000 and startup costs for OR21 and MedLeader of $228,000. Net income for 1999 included an insurance expense credit of $325,000 and a tax benefit of $716,000. Net income for 1998 included a $18,978,000 gain net of income taxes ($1,500,000) primarily from the sale of the imaging division. Net income for 1998 exclusive of the net gain from the sale of product line was $1,073,000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12,421,000 at December 31, 2000 compared to $12,903,000 at December 31, 1999. The Company's cash position decreased $482,000 due primarily to deposits of $375,000 on a future Gamma Knife, payments of approximately $440,000 to repurchase 193,750 shares of the Company's stock, and an increase in accounts receivable of $1,173,000. Restricted cash of $50,000 at December 31, 2000 reflects cash that may only be used for the operations of GK Financing, LLC. The Company's trade accounts receivable increased to $2,155,000 at December 31, 2000 from $982,000 at December 31, 1999. This increase was due to higher revenue volume and a longer collection period for the two Gamma Knife retail contracts compared to the fee per use contracts. The Company invests its cash in overnight repurchase agreements and commercial paper pending use in the Company's operations. The Company believes its cash position combined with its working capital is adequate to service the Company's cash requirements in 2001. Working capital decreased $970,000 primarily due to the inclusion in current liabilities of approximately $1,000,000 in debt which had previously been classified in long-term debt. This debt can be either paid off or refinanced for a longer period when it comes due in July 2001. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on operations because a substantial majority of the costs that it incurs under its customer contracts are fixed through the term of the contract.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE On December 31, 1999 the local Grant Thornton offices that provided accounting and tax services for the Company were sold to Moss Adams LLP, an accounting and consulting firm. The Company elected to retain Moss Adams as its independent auditors and tax advisors. The Company on December 14, 1998 had engaged Grant Thornton, LLP as its independent accountant to audit the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company and Grant Thornton had a long established relationship as Grant Thornton had served as the Company's tax advisor since 1990. Ernst & Young had served as the Company's auditor from 1983 through 1997. The Company, during its two prior fiscal years (1999 and 1998) and any subsequent interim period preceding its change of independent accountant, did not have any disagreements with the former accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. 15 17 PART III ITEM 10.

F-7 31 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 NOTE A -- BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION 1. Business American Shared Hospital Services (the "Company") provides Gamma Knife units to nine medical centers in California, Texas, Connecticut, Ohio, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Wisconsin and New Jersey. The Company provided shared diagnostic imaging services to health care providers located in various geographic regions of the United States through November of 1998. The diagnostic imaging services provided by the Company were Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Axial Tomography Scanning, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, and Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory services. On November 13, 1998, the diagnostic imaging services product line was sold to a third party. In June 1995, African American Church Health and Economic Services, Inc. (ACHES) and ACHES Insurance Services, Inc. ("AIS") were incorporated. AIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of ACHES. AIS is an insurance agency qualified to sell life, health, and disability insurance in the states of California and New York. ACHES, through AIS, sells life, health and disability insurance primarily to the African-American Community. In 1999, the operations of ACHES and AIS were discontinued. On October 17, 1995, the Company (through American Shared Radiosurgery Services ("ASRS")) and Elekta AB, the manufacturer of the Gamma Knife (through its wholly owned United States subsidiary GKV Investments, Inc. ("GKV")), entered into an operating agreement which formed GK Financing, LLC ("GKF"). GKF provides alternative financing of Elekta Gamma Knife units and is the preferred provider for Elekta AB of financing arrangements, such as fee-for-service lease arrangements with health care institutions. In November, 1999, OR21, Inc., was incorporated. This wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will provide the product "The Operating Room for the 21st Century(sm)", which is currently under development. In April, 2000, MedLeader.com, Inc., was incorporated. This wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will provide continuing medical education online and through videos for doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, CuraCare, Inc. ("CuraCare"), MMRI, Inc., European Shared Medical Services Ltd., OR21, Inc., MedLeader.com, Inc., ACHES and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AIS, and ASRS and its majority-owned subsidiary, GK Financing, LLC. The stock of CuraCare was sold on November 13, 1998 in conjunction with the sale of the diagnostic imaging services product line. On April 28, 2000, European Shared Medical Services, Ltd. was dissolved. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. NOTE B -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-8 32 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is not considered a cash equivalent for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows. 3. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents the minimum cash that, by agreement, must be maintained in GK Financing LLC (GKF) to fund operations. 4. Accounts Receivable Substantially all of the Company's revenue is provided by nine customers. These customers constitute accounts receivable at December 31, 2000. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. At December 31, 2000, the Company did not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts because management believes that accounts receivable are fully collectible. 5. Accounting for Majority-Owned Subsidiary The Company accounts for GKF as a consolidated entity due to its 81% majority-equity interest. 6. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which for medical and office equipment is generally 3 - 15 years. The Company capitalized interest of $168,000 and $79,000 in 2000 and 1999, respectively, as costs of medical equipment. 7. Operating Leases The Company leases Gamma Knife equipment to its customers under arrangements accounted for as operating leases. Revenue is provided for and recognized on a fee-for-service or contingent rental basis when the service is delivered. The lease agreements are generally over ten to fifteen year terms. At December 31, 2000, the Company held equipment under operating lease contracts with customers with an original cost of $29,246,000 and accumulated depreciation of $7,007,000. 8. Income Taxes The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. 9. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if common shares were issued pursuant to the exercise of F-9 33 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 options or warrants. The following table illustrates the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.
2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ----------- Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share.... $1,312,000 $2,707,000 $20,051,000 Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share -- weighted-average shares................. 3,810,000 3,967,000 4,735,000 Effect of dilutive securities Employee stock options/warrants.................. 1,593,000 1,679,000 1,631,000 ---------- ---------- ----------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share -- adjusted weighted-average shares........ 5,403,000 5,646,000 6,366,000 ========== ========== =========== Earning per share -- basic............................ $ .34 $ .68 $ 4.23 ========== ========== =========== Earning per share -- assuming dilution................ $ .24 $ .48 $ 3.15 ========== ========== ===========
Options to purchase 52,667 and 15,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 and $3.06 per share, respectively, were outstanding during 2000. They were not included in the computation of earnings per share assuming dilution because the exercise price of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares. 10. Stock-Based Compensation SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options granted to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Disclosure requirements in accordance with SFAS No. 123 are included in Note E. 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximated their fair value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company's various debt obligations approximated fair value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, based upon interest rates that are currently available for the Company for issuance of instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. 12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101). SAB 101, as amended, summarizes certain aspects of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The company was required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of 2000. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on the Company's operations or financial position. In September 1999, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Topic No. D-83, "Accounting for Payroll Taxes Associated with Stock Option Exercises" (EITF D-83). EITF D-83 requires that payroll taxes F-10 34 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 paid on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of acquired stock in association with an employee's exercise of stock options be recorded as operating expenses. The Company was required to adopt EITF D-83 in the fourth quarter of 1999. There was no material effect on the Company's operations or financial position as a result of adoption. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 133 to have a material effect on the Company's operations or financial position. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. NOTE C -- LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists primarily of 9 notes with a financing company, related to Gamma Knife construction and installation, totaling $23,075,000. These notes accrue interest at fixed annual rates between 10.5% and 10.7%, are payable in 84 monthly installments, mature between September, 2004, and December, 2007, and are collateralized by the respective Gamma Knives. Additionally, the Company has $1,351,000 in borrowings outstanding for deposits for two Gamma Knives under construction at December 31, 2000 (Note H). These borrowings accrue interest at prime plus 2% (11% at December 31, 2000), are payable when the Gamma Knife units commence operation, and are collateralized by the equipment. The following are contractual maturities of long-term debt by year at December 31, 2000:

F-11 35 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 NOTE D -- INCOME TAXES Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

The components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes consist of the following:

The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate (34% in 2000, 1999 and 1998) to income before taxes as follows:
2000 1999 1998 --------- ----------- ----------- Computed expected tax................................ $ 450,000 $ 677,000 $ 7,500,000 Change in valuation allowance........................ (724,000) 62,000 (7,205,000) State income taxes, net of federal benefit........... 77,000 116,000 1,400,000 Change in carryovers and tax attributes.............. 197,000 (1,571,000) -- Other................................................ -- -- (182,000) --------- ----------- ----------- $ -- $ (716,000) $ 1,513,000 ========= =========== ===========
At December 31, 2000, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax return purposes of approximately $8,411,000 which expires between 2002 and 2020. A substantial part of this carryforward is subject to separate return limitations. The Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets may be limited in the event of a 50% or more ownership change within any three-year period. The Company recorded no income tax expense or benefit in 2000 because a valuation allowance was provided for its entire deferred tax asset in excess of its deferred tax liability. F-12 36 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 The Company's estimated income tax liability for the year ended December 31, 1998 was overstated by approximately $700,000. This change in estimate is the result of finalization of unresolved details associated with the 1998 sale of the diagnostic imaging services product line. The effect of the resolution of these details was estimated in the 1998 financial statements. The effect of the final resolution was a reduction of the company's income tax liability resulting in an income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 1999 as well as an increase in the net operating loss carryforwards available to the Company. The tax effected amount of the increase in net operating losses is approximately $1,571,000 and is reflected as a change in carryovers and tax attributes in the reconciliation from expected to actual income tax expense above. NOTE E -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY 1984 Stock Option Plan Under the Company's 1984 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), as amended, a total of 475,000 stock options were authorized for grant. The Plan terminated according to its terms on March 1, 1994. Options granted pursuant to the Plan generally had lives of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to earlier expiration in certain cases, such as termination of the grantee's employment. 1995 Stock Option Plan The Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan, providing for nonqualified stock options and "incentive stock options," was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on August 15, 1995, subject to shareholder approval, which was given on October 6, 1995. Under the 1995 Plan, 330,000 common shares are reserved for awards to officers and other key employees, non-employee directors, and advisors. Provisions of the 1995 Stock Option Plan include an automatic grant to each non-employee director of options to purchase up to 4,000 shares annually on the date of the Company's Annual Shareholder Meeting, at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common shares on that date, until the non-employee director has options for a total of 12,000 shares of the Company's common stock in all Company plans. Directors who are appointed or elected to the Company's Board of Directors on a date other than that of the Annual Shareholder Meeting receive a pro-rata grant of such options, at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant. Changes in options outstanding under the 1984 and 1995 Stock Option Plans from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2000 are as follows:
WEIGHTED NUMBER AVERAGE OF OPTIONS EXERCISE PRICE ---------- -------------- Balance at January 1, 1998........................... 429,000 $1.627 Forfeited.......................................... (40,000) 1.625 ------- Balance at December 31, 1998......................... 389,000 1.628 Granted............................................ 53,000 3.000 Exercised..........................................

(92,000) 1.625 ------- Balance at December 31, 2000......................... 298,000 $1.943 =======
At December 31, 2000, 28,000 options were available for grant under the 1995 Plan. F-13 37 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 Shares and Options Issued to Officer On August 15, 1995, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer was granted a ten-year, immediately exercisable option to purchase 1,495,000 common shares for an exercise price of $.01 per share for which the Company recorded compensation expense of $2,414,000. These options were granted to the officer as final consideration for personal guarantees of credit facilities and for continued employment with the Company. The following table summarizes information about all options outstanding at December 31, 2000:
OPTIONS OUTSTANDING ------------------------------------- OPTIONS EXERCISABLE WEIGHTED ---------------------- AVERAGE WEIGHTED WEIGHTED REMAINING AVERAGE AVERAGE RANGE OF NUMBER CONTRACTUAL EXERCISE NUMBER EXERCISE EXERCISE PRICES OUTSTANDING LIFE (YEARS) PRICE EXERCISABLE PRICE --------------- ----------- ------------ -------- ----------- -------- $0.01.......... 1,495,000 4.83 $ 0.01 1,495,000 $ 0.01 1.625 - 3.063 298,000 5.23 1.943 286,000 1.893 -------------- --------- ---- ------ --------- ------ $ .01 - 3.063 1,793,000 4.90 $ .331 1,781,000 $ .312 ========= ==== ====== ========= ======
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, 1,781,000 and 1,856,000 options, respectively, were vested and exercisable. Pro Forma Information related to Option Grants Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123 for awards granted after December 31, 1995, as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based awards to employees under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes options valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock-based awards to employees have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees. The fair value of the Company's option grants under the 1984 and 1995 Plans was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:
2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Expected life (years).................................. 9.5 9.5 9.5 Expected volatility.................................... 74.0% 82.0% 93.8% Risk-free interest rate................................ 6.4% 5.9% 6.3%
No options were granted during 1998. The weighted-average fair values of options granted during 2000 and 1999 were $2.49 and $2.54, respectively. For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of the F-14 38 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 Company's options is amortized over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows:
2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ----------- Net income As reported................................. $1,312,000 $2,707,000 $20,051,000 Pro forma................................... 1,272,000 2,595,000 20,040,000 Earnings per share -- basic As reported................................. .34 .68 4.23 Pro forma................................... .33 .65 4.23 Earnings per share -- assuming dilution As reported................................. .24 .48 3.15 Pro forma................................... .24 .46 3.15
Repurchase of Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants On March 8, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 572,000 shares from two shareholders who were previous bondholders of the Company. These shares were originally issued in conjunction with a debt restructuring. On March 22, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its own stock on the open market. Correspondingly, the Company repurchased 194,000 and 196,000 shares of its own stock on the open market during the years ending December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As the Company's stock has no par value, the entire repurchase price of the stock is recorded as a reduction to common stock. In previous years, the Company had issued 314,000 common stock warrants with an exercise price of $.75 per share in conjunction with the restructuring of certain debt and lease obligations of the Company. During 2000 and 1999, the Company repurchased all of the common stock warrants. The original issue of the warrants was recorded as an addition to additional paid-in capital and the repurchase has correspondingly been recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital. NOTE F -- RETIREMENT PLAN The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan for which substantially all full-time employees are eligible. The plan does not currently provide for a Company matching distribution. NOTE G -- OPERATING LEASES The Company leases office space and equipment under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2005. Future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leases having initial terms of more than one year consisted of the following at December 31, 2000: YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2001......................................... $167,000 2002......................................... 123,000 2003......................................... 16,000 2004......................................... 8,000 2005......................................... 7,000 -------- $321,000 ========
F-15 39 AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 Payments for repair and maintenance agreements are included in the future minimum operating lease payments shown above. Rent expense was $188,000, $117,000, and $4,696,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and includes the above operating leases as well as month-to-month rental and certain executory costs. NOTE H -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Under the terms of three Gamma Knife quotation agreements, the Company is committed to purchase Gamma Knife equipment for $5,720,000 when the equipment is placed in service at each customer location. At December 31, 2000, the Company had $1,726,000 in deposits related to these purchase commitments which are classified as construction in progress. NOTE I -- REPORTABLE SEGMENTS The Company has one reportable segment: The Gamma Knife segment engages in the business of leasing equipment to healthcare providers that treats certain vascular malformations and intracranial tumors without surgery. Prior to November, 1998, the Company also had a Diagnostic Imaging Services segment which used medical diagnostic imaging systems to facilitate treatment and the diagnosis of diseases and disorders. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses. Applicable general and administrative expenses were allocated to segments based on relative percentage of revenues. Certain corporate expenses were not allocated to the segments. The Company did not have significant intersegment sales transactions. The segments shared common expenses and provided management activities to one another for which they charged management fees. These management fees were not significant. The Company's reportable segments were strategic business units that offered different products and services. They were managed separately because each business required different technology and marketing strategies. REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION

Adjustments to reconcile reportable segment totals to consolidated totals include unallocated amounts and amounts from non-reportable segments. MAJOR CUSTOMERS Revenues from the Company's Gamma Knife segment were provided by nine customers in 2000, nine customers in 1999, and five customers in 1998. In 2000, revenues from four customers of $2,192,000, $1,454,000, $1,254,000, and $1,114,000, respectively, exceeded 10% of the Company's total revenue. In 1999, revenues from four customers of $1,590,000, $1,543,000, $1,437,000, and $884,000, respectively, exceeded 10% of the Company's total revenue. In 1998, no individual customers accounted for 10% of the Company's total revenue. NOTE J -- SALE OF PRODUCT LINE On November 13, 1998, the Company consummated a sale of its diagnostic imaging services product line to a third party. The diagnostic imaging services line included Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Axial Tomography Scanning (CT), Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory services. The Company sold the assets of this product line for $13.5 million in cash and the assumption by the third party of approximately $27.1 million in liabilities of the Company. The Company recognized a gain on disposal of product line of approximately $20 million in conjunction with this transaction. In conjunction with the product line sale, one of the Company's facilities which provided certain administrative and scheduling functions was closed during 1999. At December 31, 1998, in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Abstract 94-3, the Company accrued certain future exit costs related to the sale of the product line and corresponding facility closure which totaled $995,000 at December 31, 1998. The accrued costs include employee compensation of $215,000, liability tail insurance coverage costs of $500,000, legal and professional fees of $105,000, administrative costs of $115,000 and other costs totaling $60,000. Insurance costs of approximately $400,000 were classified as long-term as they were intended to be incurred subsequent to 1999. During 1999, management revised its estimate regarding the use and corresponding cost of liability tail insurance coverage. This change in estimate resulted in a $325,000 decrease to selling and administrative expenses in the corresponding Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 1999. The revenue and net operating income or losses from the disposed diagnostic imaging services line for fiscal year ended 1998 is presented at Note I. F-18 42 INDEX TO EXHIBITS
