Management Discussion

Timothy Damadian, Chairman and CEO of FONAR, said, "I am pleased to report that our diagnostic imaging management subsidiary, Health Management Company of America (HMCA), the Company's primary source of revenue and profit, continues to grow. Scan volume at HMCA-managed sites has increased every fiscal year since COVID in Fiscal 2020. We reached a record of 216,317 scans in Fiscal 2025, which was 3.3% higher than the previous record of 209,346 in Fiscal 2024."

"Scan volume in our New York regions grew by 4.4% (from 128,023 to 133,663), but only 1.6% (from 81,323 to 82,654) in Florida. This is partially due to tort reform in Florida, which impacts MRI providers by changing how medical expenses are valued in personal injury cases. It also limits the amount that can be recovered in court for medical bills, affecting MRI providers' use of Letters of Protection. Overall, the bill has resulted in fewer patients seeking MRI services and reduced payments to providers."

"HMCA currently manages 44 MRI scanners, 26 in New York and 18 in Florida. In Fiscal 2025, we added high-field MRIs to two existing Stand-Up MRI facilities – one in Naples, Florida and one in Melville, New York. A high-field MRI is a perfect complement to the Stand-Up® MRI. The Stand-Up® MRI is the most "non-claustrophobic," patient-friendly MRI; it's the only MRI that can scan patients in weight-bearing positions, which enables the detection of pathology that could be underestimated or missed entirely on conventional lie-down-only MRIs; and it's the only MRI that can scan the cervical and lumbar spines in flexion and extension. For instances where high-resolution MRI images or a special high-field protocol is required, the high-field MRI scanner handily addresses those needs. From the referring physicians' point of view, these centers offer "the best of both MRI worlds."

Mr. Damadian continued, "At the moment we're installing a high-field MRI in a Stand-Up® MRI facility in Nassau County, Long Island, which we expect will be operational in the first half of Fiscal 2026. We're also planning for an additional HMCA-managed center in Nassau County later in the fiscal year. As always, we continue to search for locations where the introduction of Stand-Up® MRI technology would profitably enhance our existing New York and Florida networks."

"While Company revenue increased by 1.4% in Fiscal 2025, selling, general, and administration expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 10.7%, from $26.9 million in Fiscal 2024 to $29.7 million in Fiscal 2025. This was largely due to the need for the Company to take an additional $2.3 million reserve resulting from our risk exposure related to a New York-based motor vehicle insurer focused on for-hire automotive insurance, such as the taxi industry. The New York State Department of Financial Services ordered this carrier to increase its reserves due to a $650 million shortfall that it reported at the end of 2024. We are carefully monitoring the situation.

"Our September 13, 2022 FONAR stock repurchase plan of up to $9 million has, as of June 30, 2025, repurchased 373,942 shares at a cost of $6,071,935. FONAR is limited by the manner, timing, price, and volume restrictions of its share repurchases as prescribed in the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18. Due to the potential "Take Private" transaction that was announced on July 18, 2025, which may result in the Company acquiring all of the capital stock held by our public shareholders, we have temporarily suspended share repurchases until further notice."

Mr. Damadian concluded, "I remain grateful for our management team and all the FONAR and HCMA employees whose hard work and commitment continue to make the Company successful.

FONAR Legacy: The Inventor and the U.S. Patent

In 1970, Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., then a faculty member at Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY made the discovery that is the basis for MRI scanning – that there is a marked difference in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxation times between normal and abnormal tissues of the same type, as well as between different types of normal tissues. This seminal discovery, which remains the basis for the making of every MRI image ever produced, is the foundation of the MRI industry. Dr. Damadian published his discovery in his milestone 1971 paper in the journal Science. Many academic researchers focus on making discoveries and writing papers and not on patents and commercialization, leaving that to others. Thankfully, Dr. Damadian decided to seek a patent. In 1972, he filed to patent the practical use of his discovery, which he called "The Cancer Detection Patent."

Crucial to enticing investors to provide the capital to start a new business was to assign "The Cancer Detection Patent" to the fledgling company. Soon after having made the world's first MRI scan on July 3, 1977, he was able to start FONAR, raise $2.5 million and commercialize his patented MRI scanner. The patent was the tool to make this possible.

FONAR sold and installed the first commercial MRI in 1980 using a scanning method named Field fOcused Nuclear mAgnetic Resonance, or the alternating acronym FONAR. Following in FONAR's footsteps, competitors soon produced their own MRI scanners. Every competitor infringed FONAR's patent. In response, FONAR sued Technicare, a Johnson and Johnson subsidiary. A jury found FONAR's patent valid and infringed by Technicare. However, the judge overturned the finding of infringement, ruling that Technicare's MRI scanner did not meet the specific technical criteria of 'standards' outlined in the patent.

Years later, when FONAR sued General Electric for infringing "The Cancer Detection Patent," so much had transpired in the technology that the understanding of the technical criteria regarding the use of 'standards' as indicated in the patent was well understood by the MRI community. The victory in the courts, where GE, one of the most powerful companies in the world, lost to FONAR, cemented Dr. Damadian's image as the one who made the crucial discovery in MRI. See the FONAR press release: 20 YEARS TO THE DAY FROM THE WORLD'S FIRST MR SCAN FONAR RECEIVES $128.7 MILLION FOR ITS MR PATENTS.

Other researchers have been recognized for their contributions to the development of MRI, however, Dr. Damadian's discovery of the differences in NMR relaxation times between tissues and his pioneering patent laid the groundwork for the practical application of NMR in medicine. While using gradient magnetic fields to spatially encode NMR signal data is a clever way to make an NMR image, it is the relaxation time differences of neighboring tissues that produce the pixel contrast necessary to make an MRI image. This is the essence of "The Cancer Detection Patent."

On February 12, 1989, Raymond V. Damadian, M.D. was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Arlington, Virginia. Honored for his U.S. Patent No. 3,789,832 for the invention of MRI scanning, which revolutionized medical diagnostics through non-invasive imaging, Dr. Damadian joined luminaries like John Deere, Irving Langmuir, and George Westinghouse, Jr. His contributions are featured at the NIHF Museum at 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia. There is an online biography at http://www.invent.org/inductees/raymond-v-damadian.

On June 11, 2007, at the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C., Dr. Raymond Damadian received an award from the Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation (IPOEF), for the invention of the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI. To be eligible for the award, the inventor's invention must be protected by a U.S. Patent, have originated in the U.S., and was either commercialized recently or patented since 2004. A press release of the event can be found at https://fonar.com/news/061907.htm. Once again the patent lead to fame and success for Dr. Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., Founder of FONAR and the Inventor of the MRI scanner.

During the 1990s, Dr. Damadian became aware of attempts in Congress to weaken the U.S. patent system, that had enabled him to create FONAR and commercialize MRI. In 1997 and 1998, he testified before Congress against bills like the Omnibus Patent Act of 1997 (H.R. 400) and the Patent Fairness Act of 1998 (H.R. 3460), which he recognized favored large corporations over small inventors. He organized and led about 100 citizens, mostly FONAR employees, in a demonstration outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, calling for the protection of patent rights critical to companies like FONAR that need a strong and fair patent system in order to compete.

The medals and awards can be seen at the Raymond V. Damadian, M.D. Memorial Museum at FONAR Corporation, Melville, NY. The museum features a life-size display of Dr. Damadian, his assistants, and Indomitable in the process of conducting the world's first MRI scan on July 2-3, 1977. It includes other prestigious awards, an interactive display, some of Dr. Damadian's personal items, and many historical artifacts. The public is invited to visit the museum at FONAR in Melville.

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 went public in 1981 (NASDAQ: FONR). FONAR sold the world's first commercial MRI to Ronald J. Ross, MD, Cleveland, Ohio. It was installed in 1980. Dr. Ross and his team began the world's first clinical MRI trials in January 1981. The results were reported in the June 1981 edition of Radiology/Nuclear Medicine Magazine and the April 1982 peer-reviewed article in the Journal Radiology. The technique used for obtaining T1 and T2 values was the FONAR technique (Field fOcusing Nuclear mAgnetic Resonance), not the back projection technique. www.fonar.com/innovations-timeline.html.

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® Multi-Position™ 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.
