<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES<BR>
REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS<BR>&nbsp;</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>San Francisco, CA, May&nbsp;14, 2007 &#151; AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES (AMEX:AMS)</B>, a leading provider
of turnkey technology solutions for advanced radiosurgical and radiation therapy services, today
announced financial results for the first quarter of 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>First Quarter Results</B><BR>
For the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, revenue decreased to $4,749,000 from $5,045,000 as
patient volume for this year&#146;s first quarter was below the record volume experience in last year&#146;s
first quarter. This primarily reflected downtime required for cobalt reload at one of the
Company&#146;s centers and personnel shortages at another center. The reload has been completed and the
staffing issues have been resolved, and these issues are not expected to affect patient volume in
the current quarter. Gross margin was 47% for this year&#146;s first quarter versus 48% for the prior
year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling and administrative expenses increased to $1,161,000 for the first quarter of 2007 compared
to $914,000 for the first quarter of 2006. A significant part of this increase is related to the
Company&#146;s development of its proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT)&nbsp;business.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating income for the first quarter of 2007 decreased to $602,000 compared to $946,000 for the
first quarter of 2006. Net income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 was $225,000, or $0.04
per diluted share. This compares to net income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 of
$436,000, or $0.09 per diluted share.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At March&nbsp;31, 2007, AMS reported cash, cash equivalents, and short and long-term securities of
$8,916,000. At December&nbsp;31, 2006, AMS reported cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term
securities of $8,906,000. Shareholders&#146; equity at March&nbsp;31, 2007 was $19,010,000 compared to
$19,009,000 at December&nbsp;31, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ernest A. Bates, M.D., said, &#147;We are devoting the management
resources and marketing dollars required to build the foundation for sustained long-term growth.
We are committed to our strategy to leverage AMS&#146; creative financing solutions by offering our
clinical partners the latest technology solutions for radiation oncology delivery. We currently
are developing additional agreements to provide clients with advanced radiation therapy devices as
part of a radiation therapy department upgrade, including additional PBRT systems, Leksell Gamma
Knife Perfexion&#153; systems, and other radiosurgery devices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;We continue to expect our agreement with Tufts-NEMC to provide an image-guided radiation therapy
(IGRT)&nbsp;system, a CT Simulator, and related service, support and maintenance services to contribute
to our operating results beginning in the fourth quarter, and to begin upgrading clinical partner
sites later this year with the four Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion systems we ordered from Elekta AB
in 2006. We also expect to commence our lease agreements with Tufts-NEMC and M. D. Anderson Cancer
Center Orlando for the Clinatron 250&#153; PBRT system in 2009, subject to FDA approval.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Clinatron 250, currently under development by Still River Systems, is a single-treatment-room
PBRT system incorporating proprietary technology that Still River believes may dramatically reduce
the cost of implementing proton beam radiation therapy. In April&nbsp;2006, AMS invested $2&nbsp;million for
an equity interest in Still River Systems and acquired an option to purchase two PBRT systems. AMS
exercised this purchase option in February&nbsp;2007.
