Basis of Presentation
  
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly American Shared Hospital Services’ consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2016 and the results of its operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, which results are not necessarily indicative of results on an annualized basis. Consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2015 have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements.
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Shared Hospital Services (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as follows: The Company wholly-owns the subsidiaries OR21, Inc. (“OR21 LLC”), MedLeader.com, Inc. (“MedLeader”), PBRT Orlando, LLC (“Orlando”) and American Shared Radiosurgery Services (“ASRS”). The Company is also the majority owner of Long Beach Equipment, LLC (“LBE”). ASRS is the majority-owner of GK Financing, LLC (“GKF”) which wholly-owns the subsidiaries GK Financing U.K., Limited (“GKUK”), and Instituto de Gamma Knife del Pacifico S.A.C. (“GKPeru”). GKF is also the majority-owner of the subsidiaries Albuquerque GK Equipment, LLC (“AGKE”) and Jacksonville GK Equipment, LLC (“JGKE”).
 
The Company through its majority-owned subsidiary, GKF, provided Gamma Knife units to seventeen medical centers as of March 31, 2016 in the states of Arkansas, California, Oregon, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ohio, Texas, and Washington.
 
The Company also directly provides radiation therapy and related equipment, including Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (“IMRT”), Image Guided Radiation Therapy (“IGRT”) and a CT Simulator to the radiation therapy department at an existing Gamma Knife site in the United States.
 
The Company formed the subsidiaries GKUK and GKPeru, for the purposes of expanding its business internationally into the United Kingdom and Peru; LBE and Orlando to provide proton beam therapy services in Long Beach, California and Orlando, Florida; and AGKE and JGKE to provide Gamma Knife services in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Jacksonville, Florida. AGKE began operation in the second quarter 2011 and JGKE began operation in the fourth quarter 2011. Orlando treated its first patient in April 2016. GKPeru is expected to begin operation in mid-2016. GKUK is inactive and LBE is not expected to generate revenue within the next two years.
 
The Company continues to develop its design and business model for “The Operating Room for the 21st Century” SM (“OR21” SM), through its 50% owned OR21, LLC. The remaining 50% is owned by an architectural design company. OR21 is not expected to generate significant revenue within the next two years.
 
MedLeader was formed to provide continuing medical education online and through videos for doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers. This subsidiary is not operational at this time.
 
Based on the guidance provided in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has analyzed its subsidiaries which are all in the business of leasing radiosurgery and radiation therapy equipment to healthcare providers, and concluded there is one reportable segment, Medical Services Revenue. The Company provides Gamma Knife and IGRT equipment to seventeen hospitals in the United States as of March 31, 2016. These seventeen locations operate under different subsidiaries of the Company, but offer the same service, radiosurgery and radiation therapy. The operating results of the subsidiaries are reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are also deemed the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) and this is done in conjunction with all of the subsidiaries and locations.
 
On January 14, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive lease agreement for financing of its MEVION S250 at UF Health Cancer Center at Orlando Health. The proceeds of $7,900,000 received to date, from this financing of approximately $8,400,000, were used to pay-down the $1,000,000 in Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) with four members of the Company’s Board of Directors, reimburse the Company for freight costs associated with the MEVION S250, and to fund one of the remaining milestone payments for the MEVION S250 of approximately $6,700,000. Total proceeds from capital lease financing for reimbursement of payments for acquisition of equipment, were approximately $1,137,000
 
Based on the guidance provided in accordance with ASC 405 Extinguishment of Liabilities (“ASC 405”) and ASC 470 Debt Modifications and Extinguishments (“ASC 470”), the pay-down of the Notes is considered an extinguishment of debt and, as such, the difference between the net carrying amount of the Notes and the costs of extinguishment were recognized as a loss on the Company’s condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three month period ended March 31, 2016, the loss on early extinguishment of debt was $108,000. The Notes were issued with common stock warrants with an estimated fair value of $145,000. The unamortized balance of the discount on the Notes, of $80,000, and deferred fees incurred from the issuance of the Note of approximately $28,000, were recorded as loss on early extinguishment.
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “(FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In July 2015, the FASB voted to delay the effective date of this standard until the first quarter of 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet selected a transition method.
 
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on future disclosures concerning its liquidity position.
 
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU 2015-01”), which eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items and requires that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. This ASU will also align more closely GAAP income statement presentation guidance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which prohibits the presentation and disclosure of extraordinary items. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or prospective application. The Company adopted ASU 2015-01 on January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities. The ASU focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB ASC and improves current GAAP. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability, be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. 
 
The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, on a retrospective basis. Debt issuance costs that were previously recorded as other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated Balance Sheets were reclassified as an offset to the respective debt instrument for which they were derived. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $67,000 and $72,000 were reclassified from current and noncurrent other assets to current and noncurrent debt, respectively.
 
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”) which requires equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard permits the use of cumulative-effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize, for all leases, at the commencement date, a lease liability and a right-of-use asset. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”) which changes five aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions including 1) accounting for income taxes; 2) classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows; 3) forfeitures; 4) minimum statutory tax withholding requirements; 5) classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The new guidance is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
