Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 - 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. The operating activities of subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated statements from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 receivable allowances, intangible assets, income taxes and related tax asset valuation allowances, useful lives of property and equipment, contingencies, revenue recognition and the assessment of litigation. 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, determined on the first-in, first-out method, or market. Property and Equipment Property and equipment procured in the normal course of business is stated at cost. Property and equipment purchased in connection with an acquisition is stated at its estimated fair value, generally based on an appraisal. Property and equipment is being depreciated for financial accounting purposes using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses totaled approximately $1,037,000 and $598,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The estimated useful lives in years are generally as follows:
Diagnostic equipment under capital lease |  |  | 2.5 |
Diagnostic equipment |  |  | 5–13 |
Research, development and demonstration equipment |  |  | 3-7 |
Machinery and equipment |  |  | 2-7 |
Furniture and fixtures |  |  | 3-9 |
Leasehold improvements |  |  | 2–10 |
Building |  |  | 28 |
Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangibles, other than goodwill, 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. Deferred Rent Rent expense is recorded on the straight-line method based on the total minimum rent payments required over the term of the lease. The cumulative difference between the lease expense recorded under this method and the contractual lease payment terms is recorded as deferred rent. Other Intangible Assets 1) Capitalized Software Development Costs Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility for the Company’s computer software is generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high risk development issues and the completion of research and development on the product hardware in which it is to be used. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technology. Prior to reaching technological feasibility those costs are expensed as incurred and included in research and development. Amortization of capitalized software development costs commences when the related products become available for general release to customers. Amortization is provided on a product by product basis. The annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized software development costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable, based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. 2) Patents and Copyrights Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over a period ranging from 15 to 17 years. 3) Management Agreement The management agreement was being amortized on the straight line basis over the length of the agreement (15 years). For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment of $357,500 as a result of the closing of a scanning center in New York. 4) Non-Competition Agreements The non-competition agreements are being amortized on the straight line basis over the length of the agreement (7 years). 5) Customer Relationships Amortization is calculated on the straight line basis over 20 years. Goodwill Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test annually and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arises. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Acquired assets and assumed liabilities Pursuant to ASC No. 805-10-25, if the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, but during the allowed measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date by means of adjusting the amount recognized for goodwill. Revenue Recognition Revenue on sales contracts for scanners, included in “product sales” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with FASB ASC 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. The Company manufactures its scanners under specific contracts that provide for progress payments. Production and installation take approximately three to six months. Revenue on scanner service contracts is recognized on the straight-line method over the related contract period, usually one year. Revenue from sales of other items is recognized upon shipment. Revenue under management contracts is recognized based upon contractual agreements for management services rendered by the Company primarily under various long-term agreements with various medical providers (the "PCs"). As of June 30, 2014, the Company has twenty management agreements of which three are with PC’s owned by Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., President and Chairman of the Board of FONAR (“the Related medical practices”) and seventeen are with PC’s, which are all located in the state of New York (“the New York PC’s”), owned by two unrelated radiologists. The contractual fees for services rendered to the PCs consists of fixed monthly fees per diagnostic imaging facility ranging from approximately $35,000 to $242,000. All fees are re-negotiable at the anniversary of the agreements and each year thereafter. Revenue under lease contracts is recognized based upon contractual agreements for the leasing of medical equipment primarily under long term contracts to various unrelated PC’s. The lease fees for the medical equipment consist of fixed monthly fees ranging from $2,000 to $19,000. All fees are re-negotiable at the anniversary of the agreements and each year thereafter. Patient fee revenue, net of contractual allowance and discounts, consist of net patient fees received from insurance companies, third party payors (including federal and state agencies under Medicare and Medicaid programs), hospitals and patients themselves based mainly upon established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts. Patient fee revenue is recorded in the period in which services are provided. The Company’s patient fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts less the provision for bad debts for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are summarized in the following table.

Net Patient Fee Revenue |  | $ | 13,974,110 |  |  | $ | 4,897,196 |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Patient Fee The Company provides for medical receivables that could become uncollectible by establishing an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to adjust medical receivables to estimated net realizable value. In evaluating the collectability of medical receivables, the Company considers a number of factors, including the age of the account, historical collection experiences, payor type, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. There are various factors that impact collection trends, such as payor mix, changes in the economy, increase burden on copayments to be made by patients with insurance and business practices related to collection efforts. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collection trends and the estimation process. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of materials and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses (either in research and development, marketing or production), are classified as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense approximated $889,000 and $835,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Shipping Costs The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in revenue from product sales and the related expense included in costs related to product sales is $1,885 and $5,838 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Customer Advances Cash advances and progress payments received on sales orders are reflected as customer advances until such time as revenue recognition begins. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and stock equivalents outstanding, net of common stock. In accordance with ASC topic 260-10, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method”, the Company used the Two-Class method for calculating basic earnings per share and applied the if converted method in calculating diluted earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013. Diluted EPS 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. For both the year ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, diluted EPS for common shareholders includes 127,504 shares upon conversion of Class C Common.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk Cash: The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions, which exceed federally insured limits throughout the year. At June 30, 2014, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $8,035,000 in excess of federally insured limits of $250,000. Related Parties: Net revenues from related parties accounted for approximately 11% and 16% of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net management fee receivables from the related medical practices accounted for approximately 12% and 9% of the consolidated accounts receivable for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. See Note 3 regarding the Company’s concentrations in the healthcare industry. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The financial statements include various estimated fair value information at June 30, 2014 and 2013, as required by ASC topic 820, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". Such information, which pertains to the Company's financial instruments, is based on the requirements set forth in that Statement and does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value to the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Receivable and accounts payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Notes receivable: The carrying amount approximates fair value because the discounted present value of the cash flow generated by the parties approximates the carrying value of the amounts due to the Company. Long-term debt, notes payable and accounts payable: The carrying amounts of debt and notes payable approximate fair value due to the length of the maturities, the interest rates being tied to market indices and/or due to the interest rates not being significantly different from the current market rates available to the Company. All of the Company's financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supercedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of June 30, 2014 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2014 or 2013, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not have any effect on reported net income for any periods presented.
