Total costs and expenses decreased 29% to $7.5 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2010 as compared to $10.5 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, there were 142 FONAR UPRIGHT(R) Multi-Position(TM) MRI units installed worldwide. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, total product sales were at $2.0 million. At the end of the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2010, total current assets were $15.7 million, total assets were $23.2 million, total current liabilities were $26.5 million, and total long-term liabilities were $2.5 million. Total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $0.6 million. During the quarter, FONAR expanded its world-wide presence with installations of the FONAR UPRIGHT(R) Multi-Position(TM) MRI started in Australia and North Africa. In addition, Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI) (Minneapolis, MN) completed the installation of its third FONAR UPRIGHT(R) Multi-Position(TM) MRI, which is the first UPRIGHT(R) MRI in Northern Minnesota. Raymond Damadian, president and chairman of FONAR Corporation said, "FONAR continues to focus its efforts on `selling scans' through its UPRIGHT(R) Multi-Position(TM) MRI, aka STAND-UP(R) MRI, managed sites. Currently, the Company manages nine STAND-UP(R) MRIs and an earlier model FONAR QUAD(TM) MRI through its wholly-owned subsidiary, HMCA (Health Management Corporation of America; www.hmca.com). The centers' performance improved steadily monthly. In fact, the nine STAND- UP(R) MRIs performed a record 3,183 scans during the month of March, 2010, an average of 354 per scanner. This is a 35% increase as compared to 2,354 scans done during the month of March 2009, one year earlier." "We are delighted with the response of referring physicians to the STAND-UP(R) MRI. It is becoming increasingly obvious to these referring physicians that scanning patients without the forces of gravity, which is the case with all single-position, recumbent-only MRI scanners, results in missed, critical pathology," said Dr. Damadian. "These physicians are now referring their patients to the scanner that makes the best diagnoses, regardless of magnet size. In addition, patients who are claustrophobic are relieved to be scanned comfortably in a spacious, non-claustrophobic environment." Dr. Damadian remarked, "The ongoing recession and uncertainty with regard to reimbursement and health care reform has required FONAR to continue to cut costs and reduce expenses. Reductions have been made in many categories most significantly in research and development (R&D), and selling, general and administrative (S, G & A) areas. Overall, R&D and S, G &A expenses were reduced over 20% to $3.2 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2010 from $4.1 million during the quarter ending one year earlier at March 31, 2009."
