</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>San Francisco, CA, February&nbsp;22, 2006 &#151; AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES (AMEX,PCX:AMS)</B>, the
leading provider of Gamma Knife<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> radiosurgery services, today announced financial results for the
fourth quarter and 2005, highlighted by a 19% increase in fourth quarter revenue and record
operating income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Fourth Quarter Results</B><BR>
For the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, revenue increased 19% to $4,650,000 compared to
$3,910,000 for the same period last year. Operating income increased for the 20th consecutive
quarter to a record $914,000, and pre-tax income increased 9% compared to the prior-year period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net income for fourth quarter 2005 increased to $479,000, or $0.09 per diluted share. This
compares to net income for fourth quarter 2004 of $386,000, or $0.08 per diluted share. The
effective tax rate for the fourth quarter 2005 was 30% compared to 38% for the same period in 2004,
primarily reflecting adjustments to the estimated state income tax effective rates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At December&nbsp;31, 2005, AMS reported working capital of $2,423,000, cash, cash equivalents and
short-term securities of $5,835,000, and long-term securities of $2,797,000. At December&nbsp;31, 2004,
cash, cash equivalents and short-term securities were $9,078,000 and the Company held no long-term
securities. Shareholders&#146; equity increased to $18,320,000 compared to $17,546,000 at December&nbsp;31,
2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>2005 Results</B><BR>
For the twelve months ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, revenue increased 11% to $18,231,000 from
$16,389,000 for 2004. Operating income increased 6% to a record $3,471,000 from $3,278,000 for the
prior year. Income before income taxes increased 6%, to $2,547,000 from $2,397,000 a year earlier.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net income for 2005 decreased to $1,767,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, from $1,985,000, or $0.39
per diluted share, for 2004, reflecting primarily a reduction in income tax benefit for 2005
compared to 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Operations Review</B><BR>
&#147;Growth in 2005 was driven by the addition of three new Gamma Knife units to our portfolio during
the year, as well as higher same-center treatment volume. Profitability also benefited from our
focus on effective cost management at the corporate level and at our 21 Gamma Knife units now in
operation,&#148; said Ernest A. Bates, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;As a leader in the market for Gamma Knife units and other advanced therapeutic equipment, AMS has
an outstanding long-term growth opportunity. While we were disappointed that we did not enter into
any new contracts in 2005, we continue to work through the sales process with several potential new
clients and we are confident that contracts will be awarded to AMS soon. We continue to explore
opportunities for Gamma Knife units, the latest Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)&nbsp;and
Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)&nbsp;equipment and our proprietary Operating Room for the 21st
Century concept. We are optimistic about the outlook for 2006,&#148; Dr.&nbsp;Bates added.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>About AMS</B><BR>
American Shared Hospital Services is building a profitable medical services company in an
underserved niche &#151; turnkey technology solutions for advanced radiosurgical procedures. The
Company&#146;s core business is supplying hospitals with the Gamma Knife &#151; a non-invasive treatment for
malignant and benign brain tumors, vascular malformations and trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain).
The Gamma Knife, the gold standard in radiosurgery, reduces surgical risk and patient discomfort,
resulting in a shorter hospital stay and lower risk of complications. In most cases, Gamma Knife
patients resume their normal activities within a few days of treatment, compared to weeks or months
for patients who undergo conventional surgery. More than 250,000 patients worldwide have already
received this treatment. American Shared Hospital Services is the world leader in providing Gamma
Knife radiosurgery services.
