Note 9.    Commitments

 

On December 20, 2018, the Company signed Second Amendments to two System Build Agreements for the Company’s second and third Mevion PBRT units. The Company and Mevion Medical Systems Inc. (“Mevion”) have agreed to upgrade the second and third PBRT units for which the Company has purchase commitments. The Company is actively seeking sites for these units but, to date, has not entered into agreements with any party for either placement of a PBRT unit or the related financing. The Company projects that it will be required to commence delivery of the second and third PBRT units no later than December 2023. In the event the Company is unable to enter into customer agreements within the requisite time frame or receive an extension from Mevion, the Company could forfeit its deposits. During the year-ended December 31, 2020, the Company impaired these deposits and wrote-off the deposits and related capitalized interest. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had commitments, after deposits, to purchase two MEVION S250i PBRT systems for $34,000,000.

 
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had commitments to install one Icon, with software, at an existing site,  one Gamma Plan workstation, two Esprit Gamma Knife systems, both at existing customer sites,  two Linear Accelerator (“LINAC”) systems, one Cobalt- 60 reload, with software upgrade, and one Magnetic Resonance imaging guided LINAC (“MR LINAC”) system at a future customer site. The Company also has two commitments to de-install Gamma Knife units at existing customer sites. One LINAC system will be placed at a future customer site and  one LINAC system will be placed at the Company’s new site in Puebla, Mexico. The Puebla installation is in process and the site is expected to begin treating patients in January 2024. The Company has made significant progress payments towards this installation as of  September 30, 2023, and has a commitment to finance the project.  The Company is also in the process of upgrading its existing Gamma Knife equipment in Ecuador and expects to begin treating patients on the new system in November 2023. The Company completed financing of this upgrade in October 2023. See Note 11 - Subsequent Events for additional discussion The remaining Esprit, software upgrades and LINAC purchases are expected to occur in 2024. Total Gamma Knife and LINAC commitments as of September 30, 2023 were $15,921,000. There are no deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these commitments as of September 30, 2023 . It is the Company’s intent to finance substantially all of these commitments. There can be no assurance that financing will be available for the Company’s current or future projects, or at terms that are acceptable to the Company. However, the Company currently has cash on hand of $14,655,000 and a line of credit of $7,000,000 and is actively engaged with financing resources to fund these projects. The Company borrowed  $1,400,000 on the Revolving Line as of September 30, 2023, which was paid off in October 2023.
 
On September 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Maintenance and Support Agreement, which provides for maintenance and support of the Company’s PBRT unit at Orlando Health from September 2022 through April 2026.  The agreement requires an annual prepayment of $1,865,000 for the current contractual period ( one year). This payment portion was recorded as a prepaid contract and is being amortized over the one-year service period.
 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had commitments to service and maintain its Gamma Knife and PBRT equipment. The service commitments are carried out via contracts with Mevion, Elekta and Mobius Imaging, LLC. The Company’s commitments to purchase two LINAC systems also include a 9-year and 5-year agreement to service the equipment, respectively. Total service commitments as of  September 30, 2023 were $12,645,000. The Gamma Knife and certain other service contracts are paid monthly, as service is performed. The Company believes that cash flow from cash on hand and operations will be sufficient to cover these payments.
