<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On June&nbsp;27, 2005 American Shared Hospital Services (the &#147;Company&#148;) amended its existing line of
credit with Bank of America (the &#147;Bank&#148;), increasing it to $6,000,000. The line of credit is
renewable annually and will be drawn on from time to time as needed for equipment purchases and
working capital. Amounts drawn against the line of credit are at an interest rate per year equal
to the Bank&#146;s Prime Rate minus 1&nbsp;percentage point, and will be secured by the Company&#146;s cash
invested with the Bank. There are currently no amounts borrowed against the line of credit.
