Page 9 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on October 7, 2002 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS FONAR Corporation (the "Company" or "FONAR") is a Delaware corporation, which was incorporated on July 17, 1978. FONAR is engaged in the research, development, production and marketing of medical scanning equipment, which uses principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI") for the detection and diagnosis of human diseases. In addition to deriving revenues from the direct sale of MRI equipment, revenue is also generated from its installed-base of customers through its service and upgrade programs. Health Management Corporation of America ("HMCA") was organized by the Company in March 1997, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, in order to enable the Company to expand into the business of providing comprehensive management services to physicians' practices and other medical providers, including diagnostic imaging centers and ancillary services. The services provided by the Company include development, administration, leasing of office space, facilities and medical equipment, provision of supplies, staffing and supervision of non-medical personnel, legal services, accounting, billing and collection and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies. HMCA entered the physician and diagnostic management services business through the consummation of two acquisitions in fiscal 1997, two acquisitions in fiscal 1998, and one acquisition consummated in fiscal 1999. The acquired companies in all cases were actively engaged in the business of managing medical providers. The medical providers are diagnostic imaging centers, principally MRI scanning centers, multi-specialty practices and primary care practices. In March 2003, the Company decided to sell its reporting unit which manages four primary care medical practices. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, the results of these operations have been accounted for as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, all prior periods presented have been restated, where applicable, to reflect this reporting unit as a discontinued operations. In April 2003, this reporting unit was sold. (See Note 12.) Page 10 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FONAR Corporation, its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not consolidate the medical practices which it manages, as it has previously determined that consolidation of such medical practices is not appropriate because the underlying management agreements do not meet all of the six criteria of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Consensus No. 97-2. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates relate to contractual and other allowances, income taxes, contingencies and the useful lives of equipment. In addition, healthcare industry reforms and reimbursement practices will continue to impact the Company's operations and the determination of contractual and other allowance estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Inventories Inventories consist of purchased parts, components and supplies, as well as work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of cost (materials, labor and overhead determined on the first-in, first out method) or market. Management Agreements Management agreements are being amortized using the straight-line method over 20-year term of the agreements. Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangibles and management contracts, when there are indications of potential impairment, based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of impairment is calculated by comparing anticipated discounted future cash flows with the carrying value of the related asset. In performing this analysis, management considers such factors as current results, trends, and future prospects, in addition to other economic factors. Page 11 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. In accordance with EITF Topic D-95, "Effect of Participating Convertible Securities on the Computation of Basic Earnings Per Share," the Company's participating convertible securities, which include the Class A Non-voting Preferred stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock, are not included in the computation of basic or diluted earnings per share since they are antidilutive. In accordance with EITF Topic D-95, prior period's earnings per share were restated. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock based on the average market price of common shares outstanding during the period. Options and warrants to purchase approximately 6,535,000 and 4,036,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to losses for all periods, as a result of the options and warrants being antidilutive. At March 31, 2003, as permitted under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure", which amended SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation: Page 12 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Continued) ( 000's Omitted) ------------------------------------------ For the Nine Months For the Three Months Ended March 31, Ended March 31, -------------------- -------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 --------- --------- --------- --------- Net (Loss) as Reported $(11,952) $(13,607) $ (6,326) $ (5,050) Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards 613 589 - - --------- --------- --------- --------- Pro Forma Net (Loss) $(12,565) $(14,196) $ (6,326) $ (5,050) ========= ========= ========= ========= Basic Net (Loss) Per Share as Reported $(.16) $(.22) $(.08) $(.08) ========= ========= ========= ========= Basic Pro Forma Net (Loss) Per $(.17) $(.23) $(.08) $(.08) Share ========= ========= ========= ======== Diluted Net (Loss) Per Share as $(.16) $(.22) $(.08) $(.08) Reported ========= ========= ======== ======== Diluted Pro Forma Net (Loss) $(.17) $(.23) $(.08) $(.08) Per Share ========= ========= ======== ======== The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes fair value based method with the following weighted average assumptions: For the Nine Months Ended March 31, -------------------- 2003 2002 --------- --------- Expected Life (Years) 3 3 Interest Rate 4.00% 4.00% Annual Rate of Dividends 0% 0% Volatility 92% 92% Page 13 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Continued) The fair value of options at date of grant using the fair value based method during fiscal 2003 is estimated at $1.00. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Accounting for Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. According to SFAS No. 142, goodwill, which arises from business combinations after June 30, 2001, cannot be amortized. In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires the discontinuation of goodwill amortization and the amortization of intangible assets with indeterminate lives effective the date the Company adopts the statement. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 on July 1, 2001. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and certain provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations, be measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS 144 also broadens the reporting requirements of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity that have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. The provisions of SFAS 144 have been adopted by the Company as of July 1,2001. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 ("SFAS 145"), "Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." The rescission of SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments", and SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements", which amended SFAS No. 4, affects income statement classification of gains and losses from extinguishment of debt. The Company adopted SFAS 145 on January 1, 2002 on a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity Page 14 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued) (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity to be recognized when the liability is incurred. A fundamental conclusion reached by the FASB in this statement is that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements. On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.148 ("SFAS 148"), Accounting for stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), Accounting for Stock -Based Compensation, to provide an alternative method of transition to SFAS 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and APB opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting polices of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. While the statement does not amend SFAS 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS 123, or the intrinsic value method of APB opinion No. 25. The Company continued to account for stock-based compensation according to APB opinion No. 25, while its adoption of SFAS 148 requires the Company to provide prominent disclosures about the effect of SFAS 123 on reported income and requires the Company to disclose these effects in the interim financial statements as well starting with the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 148 did not have a significant impact to the consolidated financial position or results of operations. In November 2002, The FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 were effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption of the disclosure requirement were effective for the Company during the Company's third quarter ending March 31, 2003. The adoption of FIN 45 will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 " Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary Page 15 FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued) beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 46 will have on its results of operations and financial condition. Reclassifications Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The Company's receivables from the related PC's substantially consist of fees outstanding under management agreements, service contracts and lease agreements with related PC's. Payment of the outstanding fees is based on collection by the PC's of fees from third party medical reimbursement organizations, principally insurance companies and health management organizations. Collection by the Company of its accounts receivable may be impaired by the uncollectibility of medical fees from third party payors, particularly insurance carriers covering automobile no-fault and workers compensation claims due to longer payment cycles and rigorous informational requirements. Approximately 59% and 56% of the PC's net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were derived from no-fault and personal injury protection claims. The Company considers the aging of its accounts receivable in determining the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual allowances. The Company takes all legally available steps, including legally prescribed arbitrations, to collect its receivables. Credit losses associated with the receivables are provided for in the consolidated financial statements and have historically been within management's expectations. Net revenues from the related PC's, including product sales, accounted for approximately 62% and 77% of the consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Page 20 NOTE 12 - SALE OF MANAGEMENT COMPANY On April 8, 2003, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, HMCA sold all of its issued and outstanding stock of A&A Services, Inc. ("A&A Services"), a physician practice management services organization engaged in the business of managing four primary care practices located in Queens County, New York (the "Practices"). The sale was made to the former owners (the "Buyers"), for a purchase price of $3,000,000, payable as follows: $500,000 at closing, $2,350,000 due 75 days after closing and $150,000 six months following the closing, together with a release of indebtedness in the approximate amount of approximately $909,000, which remained owing to the Buyers by HMCA as a result of the original acquisition. The repurchase by the Buyers of the stock was the principal part of a settlement of three lawsuits which had been instituted by the parties. The first was instituted by HMCA and Fonar against the Buyers for fraud, failure of consideration and breach of the contract with respect to the original acquisition by HMCA of A&A Services, and the second was instituted by professional corporations managed by HMCA against the Buyers for breach of their employment agreements. The third case was commenced by a limited liability company in which the Buyers have an interest, against A&A Services for nonpayment of rent. The case was settled before the defending parties answered the complaints. As part of the settlement, the parties released each other of all claims, including all remaining balances due to the Buyers with respect to the purchase of A&A Services and $21,167 owed to the limited liability company, by A&A Services for past due rents. There is no family, business or other material relationship between either of the Buyers and any of Fonar, HMCA, or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers or any associate of any such director or officer. A&A Services provided the Practices with management services, office space, equipment, repair and maintenance service for the equipment and clerical and other non-medical personnel. All services were terminated upon the sale. This reporting unit of the Company's operations has been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of this reporting unit have been segregated from the assets and liabilities from continuing operations in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002 and their operating results have been segregated from continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. As a result of this sale, the Company realized a pre-tax gain of approximately $500,000 which will be recognized in discontinued operation during the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003 (third quarter of fiscal 2003), the Company reported a net loss of $6.3 million on revenues of $9.8 million as compared to a net loss of $5.1 million on revenues of $10.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company reported a net loss of $12.0 million on revenues of $39 million, as compared to a net loss of $13.6 million on revenues of $29.4 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2002. Overview and Trends For the nine month period ended March 31, 2003, as compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 2002, revenues increased significantly by 33%, most dramatically in MRI equipment sales ($18 million compared to $6.9 million, an increase of 161%) including both unrelated party scanner sales ($11.3 million compared to $3.4 million, an increase of 232%) and related party scanner sales ($6.7 million compared to $3.5 million, an increase of 91%). Overall, for the first nine months of fiscal 2003, revenues for the medical equipment segment increased by 109% to $21.7 million from $10.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The revenues generated by Health Management Corporation of America ("HMCA"), the Company's physician and diagnostic management services segment, however, declined by 9% to $17.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to $19 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The Company's revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 ($9.8 million) decreased by 40% from $16.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 (on which the Company recognized a net loss of $2.9 million) and by 28% as compared to $13.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 (on which the Company recognized a net loss of $2.7 million). Notwithstanding the overall decrease in revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from the prior year ($9.8 million as compared to $10.5 million) as well as from the preceding two quarters of fiscal 2003, the decrease in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002 reflect declines in revenue in two areas: a decline of 16% in HMCA's revenues, from $6.3 million for the third quarter for fiscal 2002 to $5.3 million for fiscal 2003 and a decline of 32% in revenues from scanner sales to related parties, from $1.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 to $746,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. At the same time, however, revenues from scanners sales to unrelated parties increased by 32% from $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 to $2.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. We recognize MRI scanner sales revenues on the "percentage of completion" basis, which means the revenues are shown as earned as the scanner is manufactured. Revenues recognized in a particular quarter do not necessarily reflect new orders or progress payments made by customers in that quarter. In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the decrease in revenues recognized was in part the indirect result of delays in customer site preparations which are necessary to enable us to deliver and install the scanner and recognize the revenue. We build the scanners as the customer meets certain benchmarks in its site preparation in order to minimize the time lag between incurring expenses of manufacturing and our receipt of the cash progress payments from the customer which are due only upon delivery. During the first nine months of fiscal 2003 we received orders for 12 Stand-Up MRI scanners as compared to orders for 8 Stand-Up MRI scanners during the first nine months of fiscal 2002. For the third quarter of fiscal 2003 we received orders for 4 Stand-Up MRI scanners as compared to orders for 4 Stand-Up MRI scanners for the third quarter of fiscal 2002. In addition revenues recognized by HMCA in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 were $5.3 million as compared to $6.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. This was principally the result of the closing of two MRI sites and one physical therapy and physical rehabilitation facility during the nine month period ended March 31, 2003 and the reduction of revenues at two MRI sites while they were installing new Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. In addition to the decline of revenues by 7% in the third quarter, from $10.5 million in fiscal 2002 to $9.8 million in fiscal 2003, the total costs and expenses for the quarter increased by 11% from $14.2 million in fiscal 2002 to $15.7 million in fiscal 2003. Although changes in costs related to producing revenues essentially tracked changes in revenues, selling general and administrative expenses increased 8% from $5.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 to $5.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and the compensatory element of stock issuances for selling general and administrative expenses increased 44% from $1.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 to $2.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, reflecting an increased use of the Company's common stock in lieu of cash to pay employees, consultants and professionals for services. As a result the Company's operating and net losses were $5.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to $3.8 million and $5 million, respectively for fiscal 2002. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, however, the Company's loss from operations improved slightly, from an operating loss of $11,148,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 to a operating loss $11,098,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. The Company's net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 improved, at $12 million, as compared to $13.6 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The overall trends reflected in the third quarter and nine month results for fiscal 2003 are the absolute increase in revenues from the MRI equipment segment of the Company's business, as compared to fiscal 2002 ($21.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to $10.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002), the relative increase in MRI equipment segment revenues relative to HMCA revenues ($21.7 million or 56% as compared to $17.3 million or 44%, for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to $10.4 million or 35% from the MRI equipment segment and $19 million or 65%, from HMCA, for the first nine months of fiscal 2002). In addition a reduced dependence on related party scanner sales revenues ($11.3 million or 63% to unrelated parties and $6.7 million or 37% to related parties for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to $3.4 million, or 49% to unrelated parties and $3.5 million or 51% to related parties for the first nine months of fiscal 2002) was observed. Following the end of the third quarter, on April 8, 2003, HMCA sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, A&A Services, Inc. ("A&A Services") a physician practice management services organization which managed four primary care practices located in Queens County, New York. The sale was made to the former owners for a purchase price of $3 million plus the elimination of a $909,000 balance due by HMCA to the former owners under the terms of the original acquisition. Because of the declining performance by A&A Services through fiscal 2002, the Company recognized a loss of $4.7 million in fiscal 2002 on the impairment of A&A Services' management agreements with the primary care practices. Consequently, notwithstanding HMCA had originally acquired A&A Services for a $10 million purchase price, the Company has realized a pre-tax gain of approximately $500,000 from the sale as a result of the prior write down and amortization of the management agreements, which will be recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Results of Operations The Company operates in two industry segments: the manufacture and servicing of medical (MRI) equipment, the Company's traditional business which is conducted directly by Fonar and in physician and diagnostic management services, which is conducted through Fonar's wholly-owned subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America ("HMCA"). MRI equipment sales increased dramatically by 161%, from $6.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $18.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003, reflecting increased sales of the Stand-Up MRI scanners. Service and repair revenues increased by 13%, from $1.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $1.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and license fees and royalties increased by 11% from $1.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $2.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Consequently, overall revenues recognized by the Company's MRI equipment manufacturing and service business increased by 109% from $10.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $21.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. There were significant increases in scanner sales to both unrelated parties, from $3.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $11.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 (232%) and to related parties, from $3.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $6.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 (91%). As a result, the operating loss from the Company's MRI equipment manufacturing and service business improved to a loss of $8.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from a loss of $11.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The increase in product sales reflected continuing market acceptance of the Company's Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. During the first nine months of fiscal 2003, revenues of approximately $17.3 million were recognized from sales of Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners and $100,000 from the sale of a refurbished Beta MRI scanner. During the first nine months of fiscal 2002, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $6.9 million from the sale of Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. There were approximately $1 million in foreign sales revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to approximately $1.8 million in foreign sales revenues for the first nine months in fiscal 2002. HMCA, which provides physician and diagnostic management services, experienced an operating loss of $2.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared to operating income of $782,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The decline in HMCA income was attributable to lower revenues reflecting a decline in management fees ($17.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared to $19.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002) from the facilities and medical practices managed by HMCA. The principal cause for the decline in HMCA revenues was the closing of nine facilities (six in fiscal 2002 and three in fiscal 2003) and reduced revenues from two sites while they were in the process of installing two new Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. Shortly following the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2003, HMCA sold A&A Services for $3.0 million (payable pursuant to a promissory note) to the original owners of A&A Services plus forgiveness by the buyers of approximately $909,000 remaining due to them by HMCA on account of the original purchase. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated operating loss was $11.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to a consolidated operating loss of $11.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002, which although rounding to the same figure represented a slight improvement of $50,000. Although the Company's scanner sales increased significantly from fiscal 2002, increased costs and expenses, together with a decline in management fee revenues recognized by HMCA, are among the principal reasons for the Company's continuing operating losses. Product sales revenues attributable to the Company's medical (MRI) equipment business were $18 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to $6.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. Costs of revenues attributable to the Company's product sales were $11.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to $5.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. As a result, the Company recognized a gross profit from product sales of $6.3 million and a gross profit margin of 35% for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to a gross profit of $1.9 million and a gross profit margin of 28% for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. Our gross profit margin on product sales increased as a result of greater efficiencies realized as a result of our increased sales volume and production levels. The Company's efforts to improve equipment sales volume have emphasized increased marketing and sales efforts and research and development to improve the competitiveness of its products. As a result, we incurred expenses of approximately $2.3 million in our new advertising program, which includes television and radio advertising, during the first nine months of fiscal 2003. This was the principal reason selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $15.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $17.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Research and development expenditures increased slightly by 5% to $3.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to $3.7 million the first nine months of fiscal 2002. Compensatory element of stock issuance increased by 24% to approximately $4.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from approximately $3.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002, reflecting a greater use of Fonar's stock plans. Interest expense of $481,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 decreased by 23% as compared to $592,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 due to the repayment of indebtedness. In addition, we had financing costs of $1.6 million paid in stock and warrants in the first nine months of 2002 as compared to no such costs in the first nine months of 2003. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 45% from $7.5 million at June 30, 2002 to $4.1 million at March 31, 2003, reflecting costs of building scanners and increased expenses, while cash receipts from deliveries were in many cases delayed because of customer delays in site preparation necessary for deliveries to be made. Inventories increased by 9% to $5.1 million at March 31, 2003 as compared to $4.7 million at June 30, 2002 as the Company's new purchases of parts in the manufacturing of scanners exceeded utilization in part as a result of customer delays. Accounts receivable increased to $13.8 million as at March 31, 2003 from $13.7 million as at June 30, 2002, primarily due to decreased receivables from HMCA's physician and diagnostic management business although accounts received from service contracts on MRI scanners increased from $781,000 to $1.4 million. In July, 2000 General Electric and the Company entered into an agreement under which General Electric agreed to act as a sales representative for the Company's Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. Fonar has been working closely with GE Medical Systems to assist them in marketing the Stand-Up(TM) MRI. General Electric has purchased a total of four Stand-Up MRI scanners to resell to its customers. The Company's Stand-Up(TM), QUAD(TM) and Fonar-360(TM) MRI scanners, together with the Company's works-in-progress (QUAD-S(TM) MRI) and other works in progress, are intended to significantly improve the Company's competitive position. In addition, the Company offers a low cost open scanner, the Echo(TM) MRI, operating at .3 Tesla field strength for its cost conscious customers. The Company's Stand-Up(TM) scanner, which operates at 6000 gauss (.6 Tesla) field strength, allows patients to be scanned while standing or reclining. As a result, for the first time, MRI is able to be used to show abnormalities and injuries under full weight-bearing conditions, particularly the spine and joints. A floor-recessed elevator brings the patient to the height appropriate for the targeted image region. A custom-built adjustable bed will allow patients to sit or lie on their backs, sides or stomachs at any angle. Full-range-of-motion studies of the joints in virtually any direction will be possible, an especially promising feature for sports injuries. The Stand-Up(TM) will also be useful for MRI directed neuro-surgical procedures as the surgeon would have unhindered access to the patient with no restrictions in the vertical direction. This easy-entry, mid-field-strength scanner should be ideal for trauma centers where a quick MRI-screening within the first critical hour of treatment will greatly improve patients' changes for survival and optimize the extent of recovery. The Fonar 360(TM) is an enlarged room sized magnet in which the floor, ceiling and walls of the scan room are part of the magnet frame. This is made possible by Fonar's patented Iron-Frame(TM) technology which allows the Company's engineers to control, contour and direct the magnet's lines of flux in the patient gap where wanted and almost none outside of the steel of the magnet where not wanted. Consequently, this scanner allows 360 degree access to the patient and physicians and family members are able to enter the scanner and approach the patient. The Fonar 360(TM) is presently marketed as a diagnostic scanner and is sometimes referred to as the Open Sky(TM) MRI. In its Open Sky(TM) version, the Fonar 360(TM) serves as an open patient friendly scanner which allows 360 access to the patient on the scanner bed. To optimize the patient-friendly character of the Open Sky(TM) MRI, the walls, floor, ceiling and magnet poles are decorated with landscape murals. The patient gap is twenty inches and the magnetic field strength, like that of FONAR's Stand-Up(TM) and QUAD(TM) MRI scanner, is 0.6 Tesla. In the future, we may also develop the Fonar 360(TM) to function as an operating room. We sometimes refer to this contemplated version of the Fonar 360(TM) as the OR-360(TM). In its OR-360(TM) version, which is in the planning stages, the enlarged room sized magnet and 360 access to the patient afforded by the Fonar 360(TM) would permit full-fledged surgical teams to walk into the magnet and perform surgery on the patient inside the magnet. Most importantly the exceptional quality of the MRI image and its capacity to exhibit tissue detail on the image, can then be obtained real time during surgery to guide the surgeon in the surgery. Thus surgical instruments, needles, catheters, endoscopes and the like could be introduced directly into the human body and guided to the malignant lesion by means of the MRI image. The number of inoperable lesions should be greatly reduced by the availability of this new capability. Most importantly treatment can be carried directly to the target tissue. The interventional OR-360(TM) version of the Fonar 360(TM) is still in the planning stages. There is not a prototype. A full range of MRI compatible surgical instruments using ceramic cutting tools and beryllium-copper materials are commercial available. The QUAD(TM)MRI scanner also utilizes a 0.6 Tesla iron core electromagnet and is accessible from four sides. The QUAD(TM)was the first "open" MRI scanner at high field. The Company's works in progress include an in-office weight bearing extremities scanner which will be able to be used to examine the knee, foot, elbow, hand and wrist. This scanner will allow scans to be performed in under both weight- bearing and non-weight-bearing conditions. The Company expects marked demand for its most commanding MRI products, the Stand-Up(TM) and the Fonar 360(TM), first for their exceptional features in patient diagnosis and treatment. These scanners additionally provide improved image quality and higher imaging speed because of their higher field strength of .6 Tesla. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased by 25% from $13 million at June 30, 2002 to $9.8 million at March 31, 2003. Principal uses of cash during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 included capital expenditures of $602,000, repayment of indebtedness and capital lease obligations in the amount of $2.3 million, capitalized software development costs of $627,000 and capitalized patent and trademark costs of $223,000. Marketable securities approximated $5.8 million as at March 31, 2003, as compared to $5.6 million at June 30, 2002. At March 31, 2003, our investments in U.S. Government obligations were approximately $3.8 million and our investments in corporate and government agency bonds were approximately $2 million. This has had the intended effect of reducing the volatility of the Company's investment portfolio. Cash used by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 approximated $1.1 million. Cash used by operating activities was attributable substantially to our net loss for the period reduced by prepayments from related parties on certain sales-type leases. Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 approximated $1.7 million. The principal uses of cash from investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 consisted of expenditures for property and equipment of approximately $602,000, capitalized software and patent costs of approximately $850,000 and additional investments in marketable securities of $244,000. Cash used by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 approximated $647,000. The principal uses of cash in financing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2003 consisted of repayment of principal on long-term debt of approximately $2.3 million and the principal sources were net proceeds from exercises of stock options and warrants of $1.1 million and proceeds from long-term debt of $950,000. Total liabilities decreased by 9% during the first nine months of fiscal 2003, from approximately $36.9 million at June 30, 2002 to approximately $33.6 million at March 31, 2003. The decrease in liabilities was attributable principally to a decrease in the current portion of long term debt ($8.8 million to $7.3 million) and a decrease in customer advances of $2.1 million from $7.7 million at June 30, 2002 to $5.6 million at March 31, 2003 and a decrease in the unearned portion of prepaid license fees from $4.7 million to $2.9 million. The decrease in total liabilities was offset by an increase in accounts payable from $4.0 million at June 30, 2002 to $5.3 million at March 31, 2003 and an increase in long-term debt from $833,000 at June 30, 2002 to $991,000 at March 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2003, our obligations included approximately $7.8 million in other current liabilities including deferred revenue from license fees of $2.3 million, unearned revenue on service contracts of $1.6 million, accrued salaries and payroll taxes of $1.9 million and excise and sales taxes of $1.9 million. As of March 31, 2003, we had a bank credit facility of $5,500,000 which was utilized in full. The interest on loans made under the facility is either the bank's prime rate, as in effect from time to time or 0.5% plus the bank's cost of funds rate, as selected by Fonar when the loan is made. Our working capital approximated $11.5 million as of March 31, 2003, as compared to working capital of $14.1 million as of June 30, 2002, declining by 18%. This reflects, with respect to current assets, principally a decrease in cash of $3.4 million ($7.5 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $4.1 million at March 31, 2003) and a decrease in the current portion of investments in sales-type leases ($1.9 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $161,000 at March 31, 2003 resulting from prepayments of the leases) offset by an increase ($1.2 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $1.3 million at March 31, 2003) in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (this item represents the extent to which the revenues earned on a contract exceed the advances we received from the customer) and prepaid expenses and other current assets ($1.1 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $1.6 million at March 31, 2003), as a result of advances made to suppliers. Accounts receivable remained relatively constant increasing slightly from $13.7 million as at June 30, 2002 to $13.8 as at March 31 2003. With respect to current liabilities, the current portion of long-term debt decreased by $1.5 million from $8.8 million at June 30, 2002 to $7.3 million at March 31, 2003 as a result of repayment of debt. Customer advances decreased from $7.7 million at June 30, 2002 to $5.6 million at March 31, 2003 as a result of existing orders being put into production. Accounts payable, however, increased from $4.0 million at June 30, 2002 to $5.3 million at March 31, 2003 as the Company incurred obligations in connection with increased manufacturing and advertising activities. In order to conserve our capital resources, we have issued common stock under our stock bonus and stock option plans to compensate employees and non-employees for services rendered. In first nine months of fiscal 2003, the compensatory element of stock issuances was $4.1 million as compared to $3.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. Utilization of equity in lieu of cash compensation has improved our liquidity since it increases cash available for other expenditures. The foregoing trends in Fonar's capital resources are expected to improve as Fonar's MRI scanner products gain wider market acceptance and produce greater sales revenues. Fonar has not committed to making additional capital expenditures in the 2003 fiscal year other than its intention to continue research and development expenditures at current levels. HMCA also expects to incur expenditures of approximately $350,000 to refurbish and improve one MRI facility. Our business plan currently includes an aggressive program for manufacturing and selling our new line of Open MRI scanners. In addition, we are enhancing our revenue by participating into the physician and diagnostic management services business through our subsidiary, HMCA. HMCA is in the process of upgrading the MRI facilities which it manages, most significantly by the replacement of existing MRI scanners with new Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. To date, Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners have been installed at four MRI facilities managed by HMCA and one Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanner is in the process of being installed at one other MRI facility managed by HMCA. Our business plan calls for a continuing emphasis on providing our customers with enhanced equipment service and maintenance capabilities and delivering state-of-the-art, innovative and high quality equipment upgrades at competitive prices. We believe that the above mentioned financial resources, anticipated cash flows from operations and potential financing sources, will provide the cash flows needed to achieve the sales, service and production levels necessary to support our operations.
