NOTE2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements – In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and its salvage values, impairment of property and equipment, the obligation to remove this equipment at contract term (ARO), business combinations, and revenue recognition for revenue sharing customers. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising and marketing – The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred (collectively,“marketing costs”). Marketing costs were$98,000 and $165,000 during the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*, respectively. Marketing costs include joint marketing with customers and corporate advertising costs. Marketing costs are recorded in other direct operating costs and sales and administrative costs in the consolidated statements of income.
F-7
Sales and Service – The Company markets its financial and turn-key solutions directly to cancer treatment centers, hospitals, and large cancer networks worldwide through its sales staff. Sales expense includes payroll and travel costs for the Company’s sales staff. The Company also typically provides the equipment, as well as planning, installation, reimbursement and marketing support services to its customers.
Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities ofthree months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash isnot considered a cash equivalent for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Restricted cash – Restricted cash represents the minimum cash that must be maintained in GKF to fund operations, per the subsidiary’s operating agreement and the minimum cash that must be maintainedby GKF per its financing agreement with the United States International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”). See further discussion at Note5 - Long Term Debt.
Business and credit risk – The Company maintains its cash balances, which exceed federally insured limits, in financial institutions. The Company believes it isnot exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions it uses on a regular basis.
All of the Company’s revenue was provided by 17 locations or1 PBRT unit,4 LINACs and12 Gamma Knife units in2024 and by 15 locations or1 PBRT unit and14 Gamma Knife units in2023. Two customers individually accounted forapproximately 35% and 27% of the Company’s total revenue in2024, andone customer accounted for 48% of the Company’s total revenue in2023, respectively. At* December 31, 2024*, one location accounted for 32% of total accounts receivable. At* December 31, 2023*, two locations each individually accounted for 30% and 31% of total accounts receivable, respectively. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally doesnot require collateral. The Company hasnot experienced significant losses related to receivables from individual customers or groups of customers in any particular geographic area.
All of the Company’s radiosurgery devices have been purchased through Elekta, to date. However, there are other manufacturers that also make radiosurgery devices.
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses – Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. An allowance for credit losses is estimated based on historical collections plus an allowance for expected losses. Receivables are considered past due based on contractual terms and are charged off in the period that they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are offset against bad debt expense when received.
Non-controlling interests - The Company reports its non-controlling interests as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Non-controlling interest is determined by the income (loss) multiplied by the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries, and the income or losses of the non-controlling interests in the RI Companies and in the various subsidiaries controlled by GKF. The Company also presents the consolidated net income and the portion of the consolidated net income (loss) allocable to the non-controlling interests and to the shareholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of income.
Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for Gamma Knife and other equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which for medical and office equipment is generally 3 –10 years, and after accounting for salvage value on the equipment where applicable. The Company acquired a building as part of the acquisition of GKCE in* June 2020.Depreciation for buildings is determined using the straight-line method over 20 years. The Company determines salvage value based on the estimated fair value of the equipment at the end of its useful life. As of December 31, 2023*, the Company hadseven domestic Gamma Knife units with salvage value ranging from $140,000 to $300,000. As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company reduced its estimate of salvage value for allseven Gamma Knife units to $0. This change was made as of* December 31, 2024,therefore there wasno* impact from the change in estimate for the current year, but this change in estimate will impact future periods.
Depreciation for PBRT and related equipment is determined using the modified units of production method, which is a function of both time and usage of the equipment. This depreciation method allocates costs considering the projected volume of usage through the useful life of the PBRT unit, which has been estimated at 20 years. The estimated useful life of the PBRT unit is consistent with the estimated economic life of 20 years.
The Company leases Gamma Knife and radiation therapy equipment to its customers under arrangements accounted for as operating leases. At* December 31, 2024*, the Company held equipment under operating lease contracts with customers with an original cost of $54,266,000 and accumulated depreciation of $37,002,000. At* December 31, 2023*, the Company held equipment under operating lease contracts with customers with an original cost of $70,635,000 and accumulated depreciation of $51,976,000.
As of* December 31, 2024and2023*, the Company recognized a loss on the write down of impaired assets of $3,084,000 and $940,000, respectively. The Company reviewed its long-lived assets during thefourth quarter of2024 and concluded events and circumstances existed that indicatedsix of the Company’s domestic Gamma Knife units were impaired. One of the assets was partially impaired in the prior year and is now fully impaired, and the Company expects to remove this equipment prior to the contract term. The Company also increased and impaired itsasset removal obligation (“ARO”)liability forone of the impaired units where the Company doesnot plan to renew the contract in early2025 and will remove this unit at its contract term. Thesix sites that were impaired and ARO fortwo of the impaired sites, were recorded as write down of impaired assets for the* December 31, 2024*. Total ARO impairment for the year ended* December 31, 2023* was $450,000. Total equipment impairment for the year ended* December 31, 2023* was $2,634,000.
During the year ended* December 31, 2023*, the Company recorded an ARO forone of the customer contracts that expired during2023. An ARO for thesecond contract that expired during2023 was recorded and impaired in a prior period. For the ARO recorded during2023, the Company concluded the related increase to the underlying assets couldnot be supported by the cash flows of the equipment and therefore the Company recorded a loss on the write-down of the ARO in* June 2023.The Company’s estimate for the ARO liability was subsequently adjusted during thefourth* quarter of2023 based on new information. Total ARO impairment for the year ended* December 31, 2023* was $290,000. The Company also reviewed its long-lived assets during thefourth quarter of2023 and concluded events and circumstances existed that indicated additional impairment existed at athird Gamma Knife site related to the existing equipment. Total equipment impairment for the year ended* December 31, 2023* was $650,000.
See further discussion under Note2 - Long-lived asset impairment and Note3 - Property and Equipment.
F-8
Revenue recognition - The Company recognizes revenues under ASC842 Leases (“ASC842”) and ASC606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC606”).
Rental income from medical equipment leasing (“leasing”) – The Company recognizes revenues under ASC842 when services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured, on either a fee per use or revenue sharing basis. The terms of the contracts donot contain any guaranteed minimum payments. The Company’s lease contracts typically have aten-year term and are classified as either fee per use or revenue sharing. Fee per use revenues are recognized at the time the procedures are performed, based on each hospital’s contracted rate and the number of procedures performed. Under revenue sharing arrangements, the Company receives a contracted percentage of the reimbursement received by the hospital. The amount the Company expects to receive is recorded as revenue and estimated based on historical experience. Revenue estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted as necessary. Some of the Company’s revenue sharing arrangements also have a cost sharing component and net profit share for the operating costs of the center. The Company records an estimate of operating costs which are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted as necessary to more accurately reflect the actual operating costs and profit. The operating costs and estimated net operating profit are recorded as other direct operating costs in the consolidated statements of income. For the years ended,* December 31, 2024and2023*, the Company recognized leasing revenue of approximately $15,629,000 and $17,772,000 under ASC842, respectively, of which approximately $9,952,000 and $10,133,000 were for PBRT services, respectively.
Revenue sharing arrangements amounted to approximately 70 % and 67% of total revenue for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*, respectively. Because the revenue estimates are reviewed on a quarterly basis, any adjustments required for past revenue estimates would result in an increase or reduction in revenue during the current quarterly period. Payor mix is a significant variable in the Company’s estimate for revenue sharing revenues.
Direct patient services income (“retail”) – The Company has stand-alone facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador, where a contract exists between the Company’s facilities and the individual patient treated at the facility. Under ASC606, the Company acts as the principal in this transaction and provides, at a point in time, a single performance obligation, in the form of a Gamma Knife treatment. Revenue related to a Gamma Knife treatment is recognized on a gross basis at the time when the patient receives treatment. There isno variable consideration present in the Company’s performance obligation and the transaction price is agreed upon per the stated contractual rate. GKPeru's payment terms are typically prepaid for self-pay patients and insurance provider payments are paid net30 days. GKCE’s patient population is primarily covered by a government payor and payments are paid betweensix andnine months, following issuance of invoice. The Company didnot capitalize any incremental costs related to the fulfillment of its customer contracts.
On* May 7, 2024,the Company acquired 60% of the equity interests of the RI Companies. The RI Companies operate three, existing, stand-alone radiation therapy cancer centers in Woonsocket, Warwick and Providence, Rhode Island, where contracts exist between the Company’s facilities and the individual patients treated at the facility. Under ASC606,* the Company acts as the principal in these transactions and provides, at a point in time, a single performance obligation, in the form of radiation therapy treatment. The Company’s stand alone radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico is also accounted for under ASC606. Revenue related to radiation therapy is recognized at the expected amount to be received, based on insurance contracts and payor mix, when the patient receives treatment. There isno variable consideration present in the Company’s performance obligation and the transaction price is agreed upon per the stated contractual rate. Payment terms at these facilities are typically prepaid for self-pay patients and insurance providers are paid net 30 to 60 days. The Company didnot capitalize any incremental costs related to the fulfillment of its customer contracts. The Company also concluded these facilities are part of its retail segment, see further discussion below.
Accounts receivable under ASC606 at* December 31, 2024* and* January 1, 2024were $11,229,000 and $1,626,000. Accounts receivable under ASC606* at* December 31, 2023* and* January 1, 2023were $1,626,000 and $1,118,000. For the years ended December 31, 2024and2023*, the Company recognized retail revenues of approximately $12,556,000 and $3,553,000 under ASC606, respectively.
Equipment sales – During the year-ended* December 31, 2024*, the Company soldone of its Gamma Knife Perfexion units with an Icon upgrade to the customer it was leased to and recorded a net gain on equipment sale. During the year-ended* December 31, 2023*, the Company completed a sale of equipment to a new customer. The Company assessed this transaction under ASC606 and concluded the Company acted as the agent in this transaction and provided, at a point in time,two performance obligations, in the form of an equipment sale of an Icon and Cobalt-60 reload. The performance obligation to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the equipment to the customer was carried out via Elekta. Revenue related to the equipment sale is recognized on a net basis when the sale is complete. The Company recognized net revenues of $155,000 and $200,000 on the sale of equipment for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*.
Stock-based compensation – The Company measures all stock-based compensation awards at fair value and records such expense in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the related award. See Note8 - Stock-Based Compensation Expense for additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation programs.
Costs of revenue– The Company’s costs of revenue consist primarily of maintenance and supplies, depreciation and amortization, and other operating expenses (such as insurance, property taxes, sales taxes, marketing costs and operating costs from the Company’s revenue sharing and retail sites). Costs of revenue are recognized as incurred.
Income taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
F-9
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes as required by the provisions of ASC740 Income taxes (“ASC740”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Thefirst step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely thannot that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Thesecond step is to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires the Company to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company’s tax positions and tax benefits, which* mayrequire periodic adjustments and may**not* accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
See Note7 - Income Taxes for further discussion on income taxes.
Business Combinations- Business combinations are accounted for under ASC805 Business Combinations (“ASC805”) using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, all assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets, liabilities assumed and applicable non-controlling interests are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Costs incurred associated with the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred. The allocation of purchase price requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to tangible assets, any intangible assets identified and non-controlling interests. These estimates include, but arenot limited to, a market participant’s expectation of future cash flows from acquired customers, acquired trade names, useful lives of acquired assets, and discount rates. See Note12 - Rhode Island Acquisition to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on acquisitions.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments - Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified inone of thethree following categories, which are described below:
Level1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market.
Level2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets.
Level3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment and our own assumptions about market participants and pricing.
The Company doesnot have any financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Functional currency – Based on guidance provided in accordance with ASC830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC830”), the Company analyzes its operations outside the United States to determine the functional currency of each operation. Management has determined that these operations are accounted for in U.S. dollars since the primary transactions incurred are in U.S. dollars and the Company provides significant funding towards the startup of the operation. When Management determines that an operation has become predominantly self-sufficient, the Company will reassess its accounting for the operation to the local currency from the U.S. dollar. The Company analyzed its Gamma Knife site in Peru and its startup operations in Mexico for Puebla under ASC830 as of* December 31, 2024and2023* and concluded the functional currency was the U.S. dollar. As facts and circumstances change, the Company will revisit this conclusion. The functional currency of the Company’s Gamma Knife site in Ecuador is the U.S. dollar because that is the local currency of Ecuador.
Asset Retirement Obligations– Based on the guidance provided in ASC410, Asset Retirement Obligations (“ASC410”), the Company analyzed its existing lease agreements and determined whether an ARO exists to remove the respective units at the end of the lease terms. As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company hadtwo AROs recorded for thetwo customer sites that will expire during2025, totaling $1,200,000. One ARO was recorded and impaired in a prior period. The Company recorded and impaired an ARO for asecond customer site during2024. No liability has been recorded as of* December 31, 2024* for the remaining Gamma Knife or PBRT locations, because it is uncertain these units will be removed and the Company historically hasnot removed the equipment at the end of the lease term. The Company will re-evaluate the need to record additional ARO liabilities on a periodic basis when facts and circumstances change that could affect this conclusion.
Asset retirement obligations, included in related party liabilities, were $1,200,000 and $650,000 at* December 31, 2024and2023*, respectively. The following illustrates the change in asset retirement obligations, related party as of* December 31, 2024and2023*:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of period | $650,000 | $360,000 |
| Increase in obligations | 1,138,000 | 290,000 |
| Payments | (588,000) | — |
| Balance at end of period | $1,200,000 | $650,000 |
Earnings per share – The Company calculates diluted shares using the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. The fully vested restricted stock unitsnot issued and outstanding and unvested restricted stock units, are also included therein. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if common shares were issued pursuant to the exercise of options and from unvested restricted stock units. The computation for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023* excluded approximately 0 and 144*,000*, respectively, of the Company’s stock options because the exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*, included approximately 123,000 and 123,000, respectively, of the Company's restricted stock awards that are fully vested but are deferred for issuance.
The following table illustrates the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*.

Business segment information - Based on the guidance provided in accordance with ASC280 Segment Reporting (“ASC280”), the Company analyzed its subsidiaries which are all in the business of providing radiosurgery and radiation therapy services, either through leasing to healthcare providers or directly to patients, and concluded there aretwo reportable segments, leasing and retail. During2024, the Company provided Gamma Knife and PBRT equipment toeleven hospitals in the United States, which constitutes the leasing segment. As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company owns and operatestwo single-unit Gamma Knife facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador,one single-unit radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico, and following the RI Acquisition on* May 7, 2024,the Company also owns a 60% interest in and operatesthree* single-unit radiation therapy facilities in Rhode Island, which collectively constitute the retail segment.
F-10
An operating segment is defined by ASC280 as it engages in business activities in which it* mayrecognize revenues and incur expenses, its operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and its discrete financial information is available. The Company determinedtwo* reportable segments existed due to similarities in economics of business operations and how the Company recognizes revenue for the patient treatment. The type of equipment varies by segment, but the method for recognizing revenue is the same. The operating results of thetwo reportable segments are reviewed by the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board, who is also the CODM.
For the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*, the Company’s PBRT operations represented a significant majority of the net income attributable to American Shared Hospital Services from the leasing segment, disclosed below. The revenues, depreciation, interest expense, interest income, tax expense, net income attributable to American Shared Hospital Services, total asset allocations, and other non-recurring expense for the Company’stwo reportable segments as of* December 31, 2024* and2023 consists of the following:

Long lived asset impairment – The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value* may**not* be recoverable. Such events or changes in circumstances* mayinclude: a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used, significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of a long-lived asset, current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset, or a current expectation that, more likely thannot,* a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company assesses recoverability of a long-lived asset by determining whether the carrying value of the asset group can be recovered through projected undiscounted cash flows over their remaining lives. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the forecasted undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized, measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds estimated fair value. An impairment loss is charged to the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which management determines such impairment. As of* December 31, 2024and2023*, the Company recognized a loss on the write down of impaired assets of $3,084,000 and $940,000, respectively. See Note3 - Property and Equipment for further discussion.
Goodwill and intangible assets -The Company recorded goodwill of $1,265,000 and an intangible asset with a fair value of $78,000 as part of the acquisition of GKCE in June 2020.The intangible asset identified was GKCE’s trade name and the Company assigned an indefinite useful life to the asset. Based on the guidance provided in accordance with ASC350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC350”), the Company doesnot amortize the intangible asset because it has an indefinite life. The Company assesses goodwill at the reporting unit level, which has been determined to be direct patient services, or retail. Each reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life for the intangible asset. Per ASC350, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually or as events or circumstances change that indicate the fair value maybe below the carrying amount. As of December 31, 2024 and2023, there has beenno change to the Company’s assessment of the value of intangible assets or goodwill.
Accounting pronouncements issued and adopted -In November 2023,*the FASB issued ASU2023*-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU2023-07”) which enhances the disclosure requirements for segment reporting, primarily disclosures around significant segment expenses. The key provisions of the amendments require disclosure of significant segment expense reviewed by the CODM, require disclosure of an “other” segment category, require disclosure of segment profit or loss and assets for interim periods, clarify and require disclosure of other measurements used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and allocating resources, and require disclosure of the CODM's title and position and explanation of how the CODM assesses segment performance. ASU2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2023and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.The Company adopted ASU2023*-07 for the year-ended* December 31, 2024and enhanced its disclosure requirements, accordingly.

ASU2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after* December 31, 2024.The Company is currently evaluating ASU2023*-09 to determine the impact it* may*have on its disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.
In* November 2024,the FASB issued ASU2024*-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU2024-03”) which requires entities to1. disclose amounts of (a) purchase of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and, (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil-and gas-producing activities,2. include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the same disclosures as other disaggregation requirements,3. disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that arenot necessarily disaggregated quantitatively, and4. disclose the total amount of selling expenses, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expense.

NOTE6 - LEASES
The Company determines if a contract is a lease at inception. Under ASC842, the Company is a lessor of equipment to various customers. Leases that commenced prior to ASC842 adoption date were classified as operating leases under historical guidance. As the Company has elected the package of practical expedients allowing it tonot reassess lease classification, these leases are classified as operating leases under ASC842 as well. All of the Company’s lessor arrangements entered into after ASC842 adoption are also classified as operating leases. Some of these lease terms have an option to extend the lease after the initial term, but donot contain the option to terminate early or purchase the asset at the end of the term. The Company has electednot to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset.
The Company’s Gamma Knife and PBRT contracts with hospitals are classified as operating leases under ASC842. The related equipment is included in medical equipment and facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (see further discussion at Note2). As all income from the Company’s lessor arrangements is solely based on procedure volume, all income is considered variable paymentsnot dependent on an index or a rate. As such, the Company doesnot measure future operating lease receivables.
The Company had a lease for corporate office space at601 Montgomery, Suite1112, San Francisco, CA for approximately 900 square feet for $4,500 per month, and the Lease term ended in* November 2024.The Company assessed the Lease under ASC842* and concluded the lease should be classified as an operating lease. In2023, the Company had a lease for corporate office space located at Two Embarcadero Center, Suite410, San Francisco, California, where it leased approximately 3,253 square feet for $22,011 per month. On* November 3, 2021,the Company entered into an agreement to sublease (the “Sublease”) this office. The lease and Sublease expired in August 2023.*The Sublease was for $16,195 per month through the existing contract expiration date.
On* May 7, 2024,the Company completed the RI Acquisition and acquired 60% of the equity interests of the RI Companies. The RI Companies operate three single-unit radiation therapy facilities.

The Company didnot make any lease payments during the year-ended* December 31, 2024*related to the RI Companies and its leases.
Sublease income for thetwelve months ended* December 31, 2024and2023* was $40,000 and $129,000, respectively.
The Company’s lessee operating leases are accounted for as ROU assets, current portion of lease liabilities, and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s operating lease contracts donot provide an implicit rate for calculating the present value of future lease payments. The Company determined its incremental borrowing rate to be in the range of approximately 4% and 8% by using available market rates and expected lease terms. The operating lease ROU assets and liabilities include any lease payments made and there wereno lease incentives or initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lessee operating lease agreements are for administrative office space and related equipment andtwo of its recently acquired stand-alone facilities in Rhode Island. These leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 5 to 17 years, some of which include options to renew or extend the lease. As of* December 31, 2024*, operating ROU assets, net of unfavorable leasehold interests were $1,015,000., and lease liabilities were $1,726,000.

NOTE7 – INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The Company has adopted accounting standards which prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a company’s income tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Additionally, these accounting standards specify that tax positions for which the timing of the ultimate resolution is uncertain should be recognized as long-term liabilities. The Company has madeno reclassifications between current taxes payable and long term taxes payable under this guidance.
As of* December 31, 2024*, the unrecognized tax benefit was $161,000 which, if recognized, willnot affect the annual effective tax rate as these unrecognized tax benefits would increase deferred tax assets, which would be subject to a full valuation allowance.

There wereno options granted during2024. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the options granted during2023 was$2.89. There wereno options exercised during the years ended* December 31, 2024* and2023. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized for stock options for the years ended* December**2024* and2023 was $17,000 and $34,000, respectively.
At* December 31, 2024*, there was approximately $23,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately three years.
The Company’s stock option awards to employees are calculated using the Black-Scholes options valuation model. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which haveno vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The Company’s stock-based awards have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the present value estimates. For these reasons, management believes that the existing models donot necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees.
There wereno options granted during 2024. The fair value of the Company’s option grants issued during2023 were estimated using assumptions for expected life, volatility, dividend yield, forfeiture rate, and risk-free interest rate which are specific to each award as summarized in the following table. The estimated fair value of the Company’s options is amortized over the period during which the optionee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
There wereno options granted during 2024. The fair value of the Company’s option grants under the Plan and2023 was estimated using the following assumptions:
| Expected life (years) | 7.0 |
|---|---|
| Expected forfeiture rate | 0.0% |
| Expected volatility | 50% |
| Dividend yield | 0% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.6% |
The following summarizes the assumption inputs used for the Company’s Black-Scholes calculation:
Expected life (years): The expected term represents the weighted average period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding.
Expected forfeiture rate: Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Expected volatility: The expected volatility was derived from the Company’s historical stock volatility.
Dividend yield: The expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero, as the Company hasnot previously paid dividends on common stock and hasno current plans to do so.
Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest yield in effect at the date of grant forzero coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.
Repurchase of Common Stock, Common Stock Warrants and Stock Options
In1999 and2001, the Board of Directors approved resolutions authorizing the Company to repurchase up to a total of 1,000,000 shares of its own stock on the open market, which the Board reaffirmed in2008. There wereno shares of the Company repurchased during2024 or2023. There are approximately 72,000 shares remaining under this repurchase authorization.

NOTE9 – RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has a defined-contribution retirement plan (the “Retirement Plan”) that allows for a matching safe harbor contribution. For2024, the Board of Directors elected to match participant deferred salary contributions up to a maximum of 4% of the participant’s annual compensation. Discretionary profit sharing contributions are allowed under the Retirement Plan in years that the Board doesnot elect a safe harbor match. During2024, the Company contributed $116,000 to the Retirement Plan for the safe harbor match for the year ended* December 31, 2024*. The Company has accrued approximately $10,000 for additional safe harbor matching contribution for the year ended* December 31, 2024*. Also during2024, the Company contributed $35,000 to the Retirement Plan for the safe harbor match for the year ended* December 31, 2023*.
NOTE10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On* December 20, 2018,the Company signed Second Amendments totwo* System Build Agreements for the Company’ssecond andthird Mevion PBRT units. These commitments expired in* January 2024and the Company wasnot* able to utilize this equipment. During the year-ended* December 31, 2020,*the Company impaired these deposits and wrote-off the deposits and related capitalized interest.
As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company had commitments to purchase and installfour Leksell Gamma Knife Esprit (“Esprit”) systems andtwo Linear Accelerator (“LINAC”) systems. One LINAC andthree Esprits will be placed at future customer sites during2025. The remaining Esprit and LINAC commitments are scheduled to occur during2026 or later at existing customer sites. Total Gamma Knife and LINAC commitments as of* December 31, 2024*, were $13,053,000. There areno deposits on the consolidated balance sheets related to these commitments as of* December 31, 2024*. It is the Company's intent to finance substantially all of these commitments. There can beno assurance that financing will be available for the Company’s current or future projects, or at terms that are acceptable to the Company. However, the Company currently has cash on hand of$11,275,000 and a line of credit of $7,000,000 to fund these projects, if necessary.
On* September 4, 2022,the Company entered into a Maintenance and Support Agreement with Mevion (the “Mevion Service Agreement”), which provides for maintenance and support of the Company’s PBRT unit at Orlando Health from September 2022through April 2026.*The agreement requires an annual prepayment of $1,939,000 for the current contractual period (one year). This payment portion was recorded as a prepaid contract and will be amortized over theone-year service period.
As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company had commitments to service and maintain its Gamma Knife and PBRT equipment. The service commitments are carried out via contracts with Mevion, Elekta and Mobius Imaging, LLC. The Company’s commitments to purchase two LINAC systems also include a 9-year and 5-year agreement to service the equipment, respectively. Total service commitments as of* December 31, 2024* were $13,109,000. The Gamma Knife and certain other service contracts are paid monthly, as service is performed. The Company believes that cash flow from cash on hand and operations will be sufficient to cover these payments.
The Company’s customer contracts generally contain mutual indemnification provisions. The Company maintains general and professional liability insurance in the United States. The Company isnot involved in the practice of medicine and therefore believes its present insurance coverage and indemnification agreements are adequate for its business. The Company’s Peruvian and Ecuadorian Gamma Knife centers and Mexican LINAC center are free-standing facilities operated by GKPeru, GKCE, and Puebla, respectively. The treating physicians and clinical staff at these facilities are independent contractors. The Company maintains general and professional liability insurance consistent with the operations of these facilities and believes its present coverage is adequate for its business.

The remaining 19% of GKF is owned by a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Elekta, which is the manufacturer of the Gamma Knife and other radiation therapy equipment. Since the Company purchases the majority of its equipment from Elekta, there are significant related party transactions with Elekta such asequipment purchases, commitments to purchase and service equipment, and costs to maintain the equipment.

Note12. Rhode Island Acquisition
On* November 10, 2023,*the Company entered into the IPA with GenesisCare and GC Holdings, pursuant to which GenesisCare agreed to sell to the Company its entire equity interest in each of the RI Companies and to assign certain payor contacts to the Company for a cash purchase price of $2,850,000 (such transaction, the “RI Acquisition”). The equity interests acquired by the Company under the IPA equates to a 60% interest in each RI Company. The RI Companies operate three functional radiation therapy cancer centers in Rhode Island. The Company acquired the RI Companies to expand its growing retail business model in the United States and continue to diversify its cancer treatment product offerings.
On* March 1, 2024,the Company, GenesisCare and GC Holdings entered into a First Amendment to the Investment Agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the date on which a party could terminate the IPA if the closing conditions hadnot* been met (the “Permitted Termination Date”) from* March 10, 2024to April 30, 2024.On April 18, 2024,the parties agreed to a Second Amendment to the Investment Agreement pursuant to which GenesisCare agreed to sell a GE Discovery RT CT Simulator (“CT Sim”) to the Company for $175,000, payment for which was required5* days following the close of the acquisition. On* April 24 2024,the Company, GenesisCare and GC Holdings, entered into a Third Amendment to the Investment Agreement that further extended the Permitted Termination Date to May 31, 2024.On May 7, 2024,the parties entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Investment Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which GenesisCare agreed to transfer certain assets and payor contracts to the RI Companies, rather than transferring such assets and payor contracts to the Company. The parties closed the RI Acquisition on May 7, 2024 (*the “Closing Date”).
The RI Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC805, which requires, among other things, that purchase consideration, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest be measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The allocation of purchase price considerations is preliminary, and is subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available. During the measurement period, which can beno more thanone year from the Closing Date, the Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the final fair value of assets acquired. As of* December 31, 2024,the accounting for the $150,000 of personal and property taxes payable wasnot* complete. The assets acquired were recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. Thus, the provisional measurement of fair value discussed below for personal and property taxes is subject to change. While the Company believes its estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned to the individual assets acquired, and the resulting amount of the bargain purchase gain. During thethree-month periods ended* September 30, 2024and December 31, 2024*the Company concluded some of the fair value estimates for accounts receivable, non-controlling interests, and unfavorable leasehold interests required adjustment. The adjusted allocations provided below reflect these changes.
The Company recorded medical equipment, facilities and non-controlling interest at fair value as of the Closing Date. Sales comparison and cost approaches were used to value the medical equipment, including assumptions of estimated direct costs associated with acquiring the equipment. Where appropriate, adjustments were made to the direct replacement cost to reflect depreciation and obsolescence. The sales comparison approach was also utilized to value certain assets, involving secondary market research. The cost approach was also used to value the facilities acquired and the unfavorable leasehold interest. The non-controlling interest was recorded at fair value based on the purchase price paid for the acquisition, after consideration of any premium or discount derived from the operating agreement with the minority owners.
F-21
The Company recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price consideration as of the Closing Date, for thethree-month period ended* June 30, 2024.During thethree*-month periods ended* September 30, 2024and December 31, 2024,the Company concluded some of the fair value estimates for accounts receivable, non-controlling interests, and unfavorable leasehold interests required adjustment. The net effect of these changes was an increase to the bargain purchase gain of $115,000, net of deferred taxes of $6,000. The net impact to the consolidated statement of operations, outside of the change in the bargain purchase gain, wasnot* material for the year ended* December 31, 2024.*
The major classes of assets and liabilities to which the Company has allocated the fair value of the purchase price consideration as of* December 31, 2024* were as follows:
| May 7, 2024 | Remeasurement | December 31, 2024 | |

The Company recognized a bargain purchase, as defined by ASC805, in connection with the RI Acquisition. The Company purchased its interest in the RI Companies as part of the sale of certain of GenesisCare’s assets in its bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in a “bargain purchase”. A bargain purchase gain of $3,794,000, net of deferred taxes of $1,220,000 is reflected in other income in the consolidated statements of income for the year-ended* December 31, 2024.*None of the purchase price was allocated to intangible assets becausenone were acquired as part of the transaction. The Company recorded the unfavorable lease position received as part of the RI Acquisition as a reduction to ROU assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The preliminary value of the acquired tangible assets acquired were as follows:
| Fair Value | Average Useful Life (in Years) | |
|---|---|---|
| Facilities | $4,697,000 | 15 |
| Medical equipment | 2,403,000 | 4 |
| Total medical equipment and facilities acquired | $7,100,000 |
Costs related to legal, financial and due diligence services performed in connection with the RI Acquisition recorded in selling and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations were $560,000 for the year-ended* December 31, 2024*.
The net impact of the RI Acquisition on the consolidated results of operations, since the date of acquisition, are as follows:
| Twelve Months Ended | |
|---|---|
| Revenue | $7,756,000 |
| Operating income | $1,289,000 |
Per the guidance in ASC805, the Company determined its consolidated financial results as if the RI Acquisition occurred on* January 1, 2024.These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. They arenot* the results that would have been realized had the Company and the RI Companies been combined during the periods presented and arenot necessarily indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations in future periods. The pro forma results include adjustments related to purchase accounting. Acquisition costs and other nonrecurring charges are included in the earlier period presented. ASC805 also requires presentation of proforma information for the comparable period, when the comparable period is presented. Due to the lack of reliable financial information for the RI Companies following the protracted bankruptcy proceedings, the Company wasnot able to obtain financial information sufficient to make these disclosures. Therefore, the Company hasnot made the comparable period proforma disclosure because it would be impracticable to do.
Following are the supplemental consolidated financial results of the Company on an unaudited, pro forma basis, as if the acquisition occurred on* January 1, 2024.*The supplemental proforma disclosure excludes the non-recurring impact from the bargain purchase gain generated from the RI Acquisition.
