<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES<BR>
REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND 2007 RESULTS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>San Francisco, CA, March&nbsp;3, 2008 &#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 fourth quarter and 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Fourth Quarter Results</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, revenue increased to $8,311,000, which included
$3,200,000 from the sale of a Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top"><B>TM</B></SUP> system to a clinical
partner whose lease agreement on a Gamma Knife expired under its terms in January&nbsp;2008. This
compares to revenue of $4,793,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The 6.6% increase in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 versus prior year, net of revenue from
the sale of the Perfexion system, primarily reflected the contribution of the IGRT and related
equipment and services AMS began supplying another current Gamma Knife customer in September&nbsp;2007.
AMS also completed the upgrade of a clinical partner site from the Gamma Knife to the Perfexion
system in October&nbsp;2007. &#147;Due to its increased therapeutic utility, we believe that per-site
revenue from the Perfexion system may ultimately exceed per-site revenue from the previous Gamma
Knife models,&#148; said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ernest A. Bates, M.D. He added that AMS
expects to upgrade two additional sites to the Perfexion system over the next several quarters.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The increase in SG&#038;A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 versus prior year primarily reflected
higher business development costs. &#147;In view of the expansion of AMS&#146; growth opportunity, we have
increased our investment in marketing and intensified our efforts to win additional contracts from
current and new clinical partners,&#148; Dr.&nbsp;Bates said.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $178,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, which reflected
a 57% effective income tax rate. This compares to net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 of
$347,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, which reflected a 50% effective income tax rate. The higher
effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2007 reflected adjustments to estimated income
taxes for the year primarily due to higher-than- anticipated separate state income taxes at the
subsidiary level.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;The new proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT)&nbsp;systems, Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion systems, IGRT
systems, and other next-generation devices for radiation oncology delivery now coming onto the
market have the potential to dramatically improve patient outcomes in the treatment of many
formerly intractable cancers and other life-threatening conditions. The incremental revenue we
anticipated would be triggered by the introduction of the IGRT and Perfexion units has now begun.
We expect AMS to be a major participant in this long-term growth opportunity, as we use our
creative financing solutions to make the new systems available and affordable to clinical partners
who might otherwise find the equipment beyond their reach,&#148; Dr.&nbsp;Bates said.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>2007 Results</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the twelve months ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, revenue increased to $22,622,000 compared to
$20,385,000 for 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net income for 2007 was $951,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, reflecting a 49% effective income tax
rate. For 2006, net income was $1,656,000, or $0.33 per diluted share, reflecting a 42% effective
income tax rate. The higher effective income tax rate for 2007 is primarily the result of

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">higher than anticipated state income taxes at the subsidiary level. The Company currently expects
its effective income tax rate for 2008 to be approximately 50%. This estimated rate will be
reviewed and modified as necessary, at the end of each successive interim period in 2008, to the
Company&#146;s best estimate of its annual effective income tax rate.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Balance Sheet Highlights</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At December&nbsp;31, 2007, AMS reported cash, cash equivalents, and short and long-term securities of
$10,010,000. At December&nbsp;31, 2006, AMS reported cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term
securities of $8,906,000. Shareholders&#146; equity at December&nbsp;31, 2007 was $19,540,000, or $3.89 per
