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, and revenue recognition. 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 or net realizable value.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 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. Expenses for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses totaled approximately $2,751,000 and $2,948,000 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively. The estimated useful lives in years are generally as follows:

 

       
Estimated Useful Life in Years for Property and Equipment
Diagnostic equipment     513  
Research, development and demonstration equipment     3-7  
Machinery and equipment     2-7  
Furniture and fixtures     3-9  
Leasehold improvements     510  
Building     28  

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

1) Patents and Copyrights

 

Patent and copyrights are professional costs incurred to acquire certain patent and copyrights. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over 15 years.

 

2) Non-Competition Agreements

 

The non-competition agreements are agreements entered into with past principal owners of entities that the Company had acquired. The non-competition agreements are being amortized on the straight-line basis over the length of the agreement (7 years).

 

3) Customer Relationships

 

Customer relationships represents customer lists acquired in acquisition of prior entities. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over 20 years.

 

4) Software License

 

Software license represents a license to improve the image quality and efficiency of the MRI scanners. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over 3 years.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the cost of a business acquisition in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount including goodwill. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative test to identify and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired, and that excess is recognized as a goodwill impairment loss.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, “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. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had unearned revenue on service contracts of $3,870,229 of which all was recognized as revenue in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

 

Revenue from product sales (upgrades and supplies) 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, 2025, the Company has 22 management agreements of which 3 were with PC’s owned by Timothy Damadian, Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (formerly owned by Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., Chairman of the Board of FONAR until his unexpected death in August 2022) (“the Related medical practices”) and 19 are with PC’s, which are all located in the state of New York (“the New York PC’s”), owned by four unrelated radiologists. The contractual fees for services rendered to the PCs consists of fixed monthly fees per diagnostic imaging facility ranging from approximately $70,000 to $460,000. All fees are re-negotiable at the anniversary of the agreements and each year thereafter. The Company records a credit loss expense for estimated uncollectible fees, which is reflected in other operating expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The Company currently recognizes revenue in accordance with the recognition accounting standard issued by the FASB and codified in the ASC 606. The revenue recognition standard in ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenue as performance obligations, defined in a contract with a customer as goods or services transferred to the customer in exchange for consideration, are satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies and significant judgments employed in the determination of revenue.

 

The Company’s revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payers and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide diagnostic services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide diagnostic services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for diagnostic services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payer (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnostic services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.

 

The Company’s patient fee revenues, net of contractual allowances and discounts for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized in the following table.

 

               
Patient Fee Revenue - Net        
    For the Years Ended June 30
    2025   2024
Commercial Insurance/ Managed Care   $ 4,957,159     $ 4,952,712  
Medicare/Medicaid     1,160,839       1,138,176  
Workers’ Compensation/Personal Injury     19,876,923       20,673,483  
Other     7,184,525       7,051,425  
Net Patient Fee Revenue   $ 33,179,446     $ 33,815,796  

 

Medical Receivable

 

Medical receivables are due under fee-for-service contracts from third-party payors, such as hospitals, government sponsored healthcare programs, patient’s legal counsel and directly from patients. Substantially all the revenue relates to patients residing in Florida. Medical receivables are recorded at net realizable value based on the estimated amounts the Company expects to receive from patients and third-party payers. The medical receivable is reduced by an allowance for contractual adjustments based on the historical experience with each payor class at each location. The medical fee receivable as of July 1, 2023 was $21,259,262.

 

For LLCs owned by the Company, approximately 57% and 67% of net revenues were derived from no-fault and personal injury protection for the years end June 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

Management and Other Fees Receivable

 

Management fees receivable is related to management fees outstanding from the related and non related PCs under management agreements. The Company has established a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserve to address the risk that a portion of the contractually obligated management fees receivable from the PCs may not be collectible. The PC’s may be limited in their ability to pay the full management fee receivable if they do not collect sufficient expected fees from third-party payors and patients. The Company’s management fees are collateralized, individually and collectively, by the assets of the PCs. The CECL reserve is determined based on the difference between the management fee receivable and the current amount of outstanding fees estimated to be collected by the PCs.

 

The Company’s considerations into the estimate of the PC’s fee collection is based on a combination of factors. As each management agreement specifies the Company’s ultimate collateral for unpaid management fees are the patient fee receivables owned by each PC, the Company considers the historical loss rates to pools of receivables with similar risks characteristics, aging of the patient fee receivables, and the financial condition of each PC. In addition, the Company subjectively adjusts its estimated expected credit losses for current and forward-looking economic conditions which would include trends seen within the industry and newly enacted regulation. Specifically, insurance carriers covering automobile no-fault and workers compensation claims incur longer payment cycles and rigorous informational requirements and certain other disallowed claims.

 

The Company combines an objective and subjective loss-rate methodology to estimate expected credit losses based on the collateral owned by each PC. This involves objectively using historical loss rates to pools of receivables with similar risk characteristics (i.e., various insurance payors) and then subjectively adjusting for current and forward-looking economic conditions which would include trends seen within the industry and newly enacted regulation.

 

The provision for credit losses for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $3,079,261. The provision for credit losses is attributable to scan volume at all the PC’s and the nature of the payor classes, where there can be longer expected payment terms. Also, during the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an additional reserve of approximately $2,300,000 for a specific receivable that is attributable to a American Transit Insurance Company (ATIC). This reserve for credit losses relates specifically to ATIC, which owes no-fault insurance claims by the PCs to the PCs, which are collateral for the Company’s management and other fees receivable. ATIC is a New York based motor vehicle insurer primarily focused on for-hire automobile insurance. During Fiscal 2025, ATIC posted over $750 million in net losses and has indicated that they are approaching insolvency. ATIC continues to operate and is working with the New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) to resolve its issues. We continue to monitor the situation for new developments. However, at the time of this filing, DFS has not publicly announced approval of any plans for ATIC to resolve its financial situation. In addition, Uber has filed a lawsuit against ATIC alleging they are not properly paying claims. Additional legislation in New York City to reduce coverage minimums and increase premiums may help to resolve the crisis, but there is no certainty these efforts will be successful. If ATIC enters receivership or suffers additional adverse consequences, we may need to take additional reserves in the future. The management fee receivable for unrelated and related parties as of July 1, 2023 was $35,888,253 and $9,161,870, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Credit risk with respect to the Company’s accounts receivable related to product sales and service and repair fees is limited due to the customer advances received prior to the commencement of work performed and the billing of amounts to customers as sub-assemblies are completed. Service and repair fees are billed on a monthly or quarterly basis and the Company does not continue providing these services if accounts receivable become past due. The Company controls credit risk with respect to accounts receivable from service and repair fees through its credit evaluation process, credit limits, monitoring procedures and reasonably short collection terms. The Company performs ongoing credit authorizations before a product sales contract is entered into or service and repair fees are provided. The account receivable balance for scanner service contracts as of July 1, 2023 was $4,571,597.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of 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 $ 773,000 and $731,000 and for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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.

 

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible or when such net operating losses can be utilized. The Company considers projected future taxable income, the regulatory environment of the industry, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At present, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the benefits from certain deferred tax asset carryforwards, will not all be fully realized. In recognition of this inherent risk, a valuation allowance was established for the partial value of the deferred tax asset, which principally related to certain state net operating losses. A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of the remainder of the valuation.

 

ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a corporate tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as unrecognized benefits. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryforward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740. The Company believes there are no uncertain tax positions in prior year’s tax filings and therefore it has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

In accordance with ASC 740, interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “Interest expense, net. Penalties if incurred would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. Penalties for the years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 were $0 and $20,444, respectively.

 

Customer Advances

 

Cash advances and progress payments received on sales orders are reflected as customer advances until such time as revenue recognition occurs.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. 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, 2025 and 2024.

 

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 the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, diluted EPS for common shareholders includes 127,504 shares upon conversion of Class C Common.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash in banks, investments in certificates of deposit with original maturities of 90 days or less, and money market funds.

 

Short-Term Investments

 

Short-term investments include certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than 90 days. Interest is recorded as earned.

 

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, 2025, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $53,676,000 in excess of federally insured limits of $250,000.

 

Related Parties: Net revenues from related parties accounted for approximately 12% of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Net management fee receivables from the related party medical practices accounted for approximately 12% of the consolidated accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

For the years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company made purchases from two vendors that accounted for 36% and 0% of total purchases, respectively.

 

See Note 3 regarding the Company’s concentrations in the healthcare industry.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received by selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions.

 

The standard establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring and revaluing fair value. These tiers include, Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

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.

 

Short-term investments: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Such amounts include Certificates of Deposits with original maturities greater than 90 days. These securities are classified as Level 1.

 

Receivable and accounts payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Long-term debt and notes 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.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In December 2023, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (740) “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires the annual financial statements to include consistent categories and great disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. The Company recently adopted this ASU retrospectively for the year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and it impacts only our disclosures with no impacts to our financial condition and results of operations.

 

In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280)”, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments require disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) as well as other segment items, extended certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarify the applicability to single reportable segment entities, permit more than one measure of profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. The effective date for public entities is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU for the year ended June 30, 2025 and it impacts only our disclosures with no impacts to our financial condition and results of operations.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. This ASU requires disaggregation of certain income statement expense captions into specified categories to be disclosed within the notes to the financial statements, but does not change the expense captions on the income statement. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively, although retrospective application is permitted, and is effective for annual financial statements starting in fiscal 2028 and interim periods starting in fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our disclosures.

 

FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of June 30, 2025 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2025 or 2024, and it does not believe that any of those standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.
