The Company has equipment that is secured under capitalized leases, which is included in Medical equipment and facilities, with a total cost of $46,865,000 and associated accumulated depreciation of $26,817,000 as of December 31, 2013 and a total cost of $41,306,000 and associated accumulated depreciation of $18,173,000 as of December 31, 2012.
 
As of December 31, 2013, the Company has $1,000,000 per system in deposits ($3,000,000 in total) toward the purchase of three MEVION S250 proton beam radiation therapy (“PBRT”) systems from Mevion Medical Systems, Inc., a development-stage company. The Company has a commitment for the remaining balance for each system. The delivery date for the first machine is anticipated to be in 2014. The Company has entered into a partnership agreement with a radiation oncology physician group, which has contributed $400,000 towards the deposits on the third machine. The first Mevion PBRT system treated a patient in December 2013. The Company reviews the carrying value of these deposits for impairment on a quarterly basis, or as events or circumstances might indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. See Note 12-Commitments and Contingencies for additional discussion on purchase commitments.
