Income from Operations for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased 37% to $5.6 million as compared to $4.1 million for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021. Income from Operations for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 increased 35% to $17.9 million as compared to $13.3 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021.

 

The Provision for Income Taxes for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $2.5 million as compared to $12 thousand for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021. This difference is approximately $2.5 million. The Provision for Income Taxes for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 was $5.3 million as compared to $2.0 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021. This is a difference of approximately $3.3 million. These differences directly impacted Net Income and Net Income Per Common Share Available to Common Shareholders while not impacting Income from Operations.

 

Subsequently, Net Income for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $3.3 million as compared to $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a difference of $1.0 million. Net Income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 was $13.6 million as compared to $11.5 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021. Therefore, Net Income was reduced directly due to the Provision for Income Taxes.

 

Diluted Net Income Per Common Share Available to Common Shareholders was $0.32 for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $0.54 for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021. Diluted Net Income Per Common Share Available to Common Shareholders for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 was $1.43 as compared to $1.35 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021. The large increase of the Provision for Income Tax significantly impacted Diluted Net Income Per Common Share Available to Common Shareholders.

 

Total Costs and Expenses were $19.0 million for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. Total Costs and Expenses for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 was $54.9 million and for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $52.0 million.

Management Discussion

 

Timothy Damadian, President and CEO of FONAR said, “We finished the first nine months of Fiscal 2022 with 140,650 scans, which was 10,086 scans over what we completed in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, a 7.7% increase.

“Even though we are now entering the third year of COVID-19 and its variants, the pandemic continues to negatively impact our business through slowed patient volume, employee sicknesses, quarantine requirements, and staffing shortages. The lack of staff at several sites in New York has resulted in curtailed business hours and consequently reduced scan volumes. On the other hand, the addition of second MRIs, one in White Plains, New York, in July 2021 and another in Pembroke Pines, Florida, in November 2021 have contributed positively to the overall scan volume.

“However, our nine-month scan volume exceeded the first nine-month scan volumes of both pre-COVID Fiscal 2019 (136,321 scans) and pre-COVID Fiscal 2020 (138,941 scans). I am grateful to our HMCA employees and management team for stepping up and getting us back to pre-COVID levels in spite of the continuing effects of the pandemic.

“We recently relocated the uptown Manhattan, New York facility to midtown Manhattan and added a second MRI in April, 2022. Looking ahead, we expect to be managing a new site in the Bronx, New York, sometime in the last quarter of Fiscal 2022, and a new site in Central Florida in the early part of Fiscal 2023.

 

“While It is impossible to predict what the effects of inflation, a shrinking economy, a diminished labor pool, the lingering COVID pandemic, or possibly another of its variants will have on our business, I am confident that we will do all that can be done to meet these challenges and to grow and to remain profitable.” 

“I am pleased that the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic is behind us and normalcy is returning,” said Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., Chairman of the Board of Directors of FONAR Corporation. “Now we can continue the progress of growing our Company. Our Company was founded as the first Company in the MRI industry and we have been a leading MRI Company in the industry. Limiting our strategy to only selling MRI scanners was a very cyclic business and the Company had fiscal quarters it made money and some where it lost money. However, that changed when my son, Timothy, became a consultant to the Company in 2010 and became President and CEO in 2016. When he joined the Company he began the strategy of managing MRI centers. He and his team came up with a very unique and successful model. Since then, the Company has continually prospered. Their dynamic strategy and careful planning was a brilliant success and the Company has had 12 straight years of profitable quarters with a combined net income of over $175 million.”

 

“In addition to his great management team,” continued Dr. Damadian, “patients love our UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI scanner, which contributes to steady patient throughput! Patients who are claustrophobic are very happy to be placed in the seated position and watch TV while they get their MRIs. For these patients, it can be a huge relief. In addition, more and more physicians recognize the diagnostic value of scanning patients in fully weight-bearing positions, particularly those patients getting MRIs of the spine.”

 

“The Company’s research is to unleash the power of the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI to completely visualize ALL the anatomy components under their full weight load that are giving rise to the patient's pain, which the conventional recumbent MRI cannot do. This assures that the surgical procedure chosen for his/her treatment will be the optimal treatment for the patient and achieve optimal outcome. Most importantly, FONAR’s latest findings from its quantitative UPRIGHT® MRI are measurements of cerebrospinal fluid flow that constitute a revolutionary new medical frontier with strong prospects of being able to bring substantial medical benefit to patients suffering from Multiple Schlerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Amyotrophis Lateral Schlerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), and Autism (the neurodegenerative diseases) that currently are impaired by the limited prospects of enduring solutions for these ailments,” concluded Dr. Damadian.

About FONAR

 

FONAR, the Inventor of MR Scanning™, located in Melville, NY, was incorporated in 1978, and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI company in the industry. FONAR introduced the world’s first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. FONAR’s signature product is the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (also known as the STAND-UP® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position™ Imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI often detects patient problems that other MRI scanners cannot because they are lie-down, “weightless-only” scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero patient claustrophobic rejection rate. As a FONAR customer states, “If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they’ll be claustrophobic in my parking lot.” Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while watching TV.

 

FONAR has new works-in-progress technology for visualizing and quantifying the cerebral hydraulics of the central nervous system, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which circulates throughout the brain and vertebral column at the rate of 32 quarts per day. This imaging and quantifying of the dynamics of this vital life-sustaining physiology of the body’s neurologic system has been made possible first by FONAR’s introduction of the MRI and now by this latest works-in-progress method for quantifying CSF in all the normal positions of the body, particularly in its upright flow against gravity. Patients with whiplash or other neck injuries are among those who will benefit from this new understanding.

 

FONAR’s primary source of income and growth is attributable to its wholly-owned diagnostic imaging management subsidiary, Health Management Company of America (HMCA) www.hmca.com.

 

FONAR’s substantial list of patents includes recent patents for its technology enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging of all the gravity sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities and spine. It includes its newest technology for measuring the Upright cerebral hydraulics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the central nervous system. FONAR’s UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the only scanner licensed under these patents.
