Matt Malek Madison        
Details of Case Matt Malek Madison v. Fonar Corporation, United States District Court, Northern District of California, was commenced by plaintiff on August 27, 2007 to recover a down payment for a scanner in the amount of $300,000, with interest. The plaintiff sought costs of suit and attorney's fees as well. The Company answered the complaint and sued the plaintiff for breach of contract in the amount of $450,000. Although down payments are usually expressly non-refundable in the Company's quotations and agreements, in this case, the quotation contemplated the sale of four scanners, and provided that the deposit would be refundable with interest, if the customer were unable to find suitable locations in the San Francisco Bay area. The issue was whether the customer made a good faith effort to find locations; the Company’s position was that the customer did not. The case went to trial before a judge; the parties submitted post-trial briefs, and judgment was awarded to the plaintiff. The Company appealed the trial court’s decision, but on January 31, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit affirmed the lower court's decision awarding the plaintiff the $300,000 deposit with prejudgment interest from July 1, 2006. The Company sought to have the Court of Appeals reconsider the decision en banc, (by all or a larger number of the judges on the Circuit Court of Appeals), but this was not granted. Although the case has been concluded, the plaintiff has not taken any steps to collect the judgment. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, $300,000 was included in the Company's accrued expenses.      
Settlement of Case (value) $ 300,000      
Bonutti Research and Bolt MRI Technology        
Details of Case Bonutti Research v. Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America, Health Diagnostics, LLC et al, was commenced on December 2, 2011. Bonutti Research filed a patent infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District Court of New York, alleging that Fonar's Upright MRI scanners infringe plaintiff's patent which relates to the moving of a patient into the scanner. Fonar believes plaintiff's claims are without merit and further, that the patent is invalid. The parties have settled the case for $150,000 payable by Fonar in twelve installments and certain licenses and covenants not to sue. The $150,000 has been recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has paid the $150,000. Bolt MRI Technologies v. Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America & Health Diagnostics, LLC, was commenced on July 22, 2013, when Bolt MRI Technologies filed an action against Fonar Corporation, Health Management Corporation of America and Health Diagnostics, LLC alleging infringement of the same patent which is the subject of the Bonutti case. Bolt alleged that the patent was assigned to Bolt. The settlement of the Bonutti case covers this case as well.

Jack Shapiro        
Details of Case Shapiro v. Fonar Corporation, New York Supreme Court, Suffolk County. Previously, The Company and Dr. Shapiro had settled an action commenced in Nassau County under the same name. The amount remaining payable under the settlement agreement according to The Company's records is $258,400, but the payment and timing of the payment was dependent on obtaining an order for an Upright MRI Scanner for the Company and the making of installment payments thereunder by the customer.

Dr. Shapiro claims that the Company was in breach of the settlement agreement and seeks payment of no less than $307,000 plus interest and attorneys' fees. The Company believes it has scrupulously observed the terms of the settlement agreement and that Dr. Shapiro's claims are without merit. The Company answered the Complaint and the one is now in discovery. The case was settled for $258,400 plus interest on February 18, 2016.
