NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 16, 2004 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FONAR Corporation
(the "Company"), its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed based on weighted average
shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. In accordance with EITF
03-6, "Participating Securities and the Two-Class method under FASB Statement
No. 128" ("EITF 03-6"), which nullifies EITF Topic D-95, "Effect of
Participating Convertible Securities on the Computation of Basic Earnings Per
Share," the Company's participating convertible securities, which include the
Class A Non-voting Preferred stock, Class B common stock and Class C common
stock, are not included in the computation of basic EPS for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 because the participating securities do not have a
contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. For the three
months ended September 30, 2004, the Company used the Two-Class method for
calculating basic earnings per share and applied the if converted method in
calculating diluted earnings per share. The provisions of EITF 03-6 became
effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2004. The adoption of this new
pronouncement did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of
all dilutive securities into common stock based on the average market price of
common shares outstanding during the period. The number of common shares
potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options of 864,247 for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 have not been included in the computation
of diluted EPS since the effect would be antidilutive. The number of common
shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants or
conversion of the participating convertible securities that were excluded from
the diluted EPS calculation was approximately 9,339,000, because they are
antidilutive as a result of a net loss for the three months ended September 30,
2003.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Stock Options and Warrants and Similar Equity Instruments
At September 30, 2004, the Company had various stock-based employee compensation
plans. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS")
No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure",
which amended SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value
method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as
defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, NOTE 2 - SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Stock Options and Warrants and Similar Equity Instruments (Continued)
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations
including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an
interpretation of APB No. 25. No stock-based employee compensation cost is
reflected in operations, as all options granted under those plans had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the
Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to
stock-based employee compensation:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (Continued)
The Company's receivables from the related PC's substantially consist of fees
outstanding under management agreements, service contracts and lease agreements.
Payment of the outstanding fees is based on collection by the PC's of fees from
third party medical reimbursement organizations, principally insurance companies
and health management organizations.
Collection by the Company of its accounts receivable may be impaired by the
uncollectibility of the PC's medical fees from third party payors, particularly
insurance carriers covering automobile no-fault and workers compensation claims
due to longer payment cycles and rigorous informational requirements.
Approximately 62% and 67% of the PC's net revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were derived from no-fault and
personal injury protection claims. The Company considers the aging of its
accounts receivable in determining the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts
and contractual allowances. The Company generally takes all legally available
steps, including legally prescribed arbitrations, to collect its receivables.
Credit losses associated with the receivables are provided for in the condensed
consolidated financial statements and have historically been within management's
expectations.
Net revenues from management and other fees charged to the related PC's
accounted for approximately 23.1% and 44.8% of the consolidated net revenues for
the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Product sales
and service and repair fees to related parties amounted to approximately 1.8%
and 10.0% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 (first quarter of fiscal
2005), we reported a net income of $786,000 on revenues of $25.1 million as
compared to a net loss of $3.8 million on revenues of $13.3 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company's success in achieving profitability
in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 is primarily due to the increase in its
product sales revenues and the maintenance of healthy gross profit margins on
product sales.

Results of Operations
The Company operates in two industry segments: the manufacture and
servicing of medical (MRI) equipment, the Company's traditional business which
is conducted directly by Fonar, and in physician and diagnostic management
services, which is conducted through Fonar's wholly-owned subsidiary, Health
Management Corporation of America ("HMCA").
Trends continuing in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and contributing to
our profitability include an increase in product sales with an increasing
emphasis on unrelated party sales revenues compared to related parties (entities
in which Dr. Damadian or members of his family have an interest) revenues and
the maintenance of high gross profit margins on product sales: 37% for the first
three months of fiscal 2005 compared to 43% for the first three months of fiscal
2004. We attribute these trends to the continuing growth of our MRI product
sales, particularly our Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners (also called Upright(TM) MRI
scanners) and the increased efficiencies resulting from our higher sales
volumes.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the
three month period ended September 30, 2003, overall revenues from MRI product
sales increased 190.4% ($17.7 million compared to $6.1 million). Unrelated party
scanner sales ($17.4 million compared to $4.9 million) increased at a rate of
257.6% while related party scanner sales ($307,000 compared to $1.2 million)
decreased by 75%. Overall, for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, revenues for
the medical equipment segment increased by 162.3% to $19.3 million from $7.3
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
The increase in product sales reflected continuing market acceptance of the
Company's Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. During the first three months of fiscal
2005, revenues of approximately $17.7 million were recognized from sales of
Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. During the first three months of fiscal 2004, the
Company recognized revenues of approximately $6.1 million from the sale of
Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners.
There were approximately $301,000 in foreign sales revenues for the first
three months of fiscal 2005 as compared to approximately $354,000 million in
foreign sales revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2004.
We recognize MRI scanner sales revenues on the "percentage of completion"
basis, which means the revenues are recognized as the scanner is manufactured.
Revenues recognized in a particular quarter do not necessarily reflect new
orders or progress payments made by customers in that quarter. We build the
scanner as the customer meets certain benchmarks in its site preparation in
order to minimize the time lag between incurring costs of manufacturing and our
receipt of the cash progress payments from the customer which are due upon
delivery. Consequently, there can be a disparity between the revenues recognized
in a fiscal period and the number of product sales. Generally, this results from
the revenues from a scanner sale being recognized in a fiscal quarter or
quarters following the quarter in which the sale was made. Illustrating this
point, the revenue recognition for product sales for the first three months of
fiscal 2005 increased 190.4% from the first three months of fiscal 2004 ($17.7
million compared to $6.1 million), although the increase in the number of orders
was 25%: we received orders for 9 Stand-Up MRI scanners and for one Fonar
360(TM) scanner during the first three months of fiscal 2005 as compared to
orders for 8 Stand-Up MRI scanners during the first three months of fiscal 2004.
Service and repair revenues increased by 52.2%, from $684,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 2004 to $1.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
License fees and royalties remained constant at $585,000 for the first quarter
of fiscal 2004 and first quarter of fiscal 2005.
Costs related to product sales increased by 215.7% from $3.5 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2004 to $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2005,
reflecting the corresponding increase in product sales revenues. Costs related
to providing service increased 26.6% from $881,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2004 to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2005. In both cases, the
percentage increase in revenues was greater than the percentage increase in
costs.
As a result, combined with the containment of other expenses, our operating
income for our medical equipment segment was $620,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2005 as compared to an operating loss of $3.7 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2004.
Our gross profit margin for the entire medical equipment segment (as
opposed to just product sales) was 36.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2005,
as compared to 40.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
HMCA revenues decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, by 2.7% to
$5.8 million from $6.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2004. This
resulted in large measure from a decline in fees from the Florida MRI sites
managed by HMCA, which we believe was related to the severe weather during the
quarter. HMCA is seeking to increase revenues from the MRI facilities by
continuing its program of replacing older scanners at the sites we manage with
Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners. We now manage four sites equipped with Stand-Up(TM)
MRI scanners, and we are planning to open three new sites with Stand-Up(TM) MRI
scanners within the next twelve months, which would bring the total number of
facilities with Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners we manage to seven. During fiscal
2004, HMCA closed one MRI site. HMCA experienced operating income of $287,000
for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to an operating loss of $42,000
for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
HMCA costs of revenues remained essentially constant at $3.4 million in the
first three months of fiscal 2004 and $3.5 million for the first three months of
fiscal 2005.
As our consolidated revenues increased by 88.5% to $25.1 million for the
first three months of fiscal 2005 from $13.3 million for the first three months
of fiscal 2004, the total costs and expenses increased by 41.8% to $24.1 million
for the first three months of fiscal 2005 from $17.0 million for the first three
months of fiscal 2004. Selling general and administrative expenses decreased by
6.5% from $6.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2004 to $6.1 million
in the first three months of fiscal 2005. The decrease was attributable
primarily to a decrease in advertising expenses.
The compensatory element of stock issuances decreased by 35.8% from $1.2
million in the first three months of fiscal 2004 to $781,000 in the first three
months of fiscal 2005. This reflected a lesser use of Fonar's stock in lieu of
cash to pay employees, consultants and professionals for services.
Research and development expenses increased by 3.1% to $1.4 million for the
first three months of fiscal 2005 as compared to $1.3 million for the first
three months of fiscal 2004.
Interest expense in the first three months of fiscal 2005 increased by 8.3%
to $65,000 from $60,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2004 due to new
borrowings.
Inventories decreased by 4.5% to $9.2 million at September 30, 2004 as
compared to $9.6 million at June 30, 2004 as the Company filled orders and
product sales revenues increased.
Management fee receivable and accounts receivable increased by 7.6% to
$16.8 million at September 30, 2004 from $15.6 million at June 30, 2004,
primarily due to increased receivables from the Company's medical equipment
segment which includes service contracts on MRI scanners.
As a result the Company's operating and net income were $907,000 and
$786,000, respectively, for the first three months of fiscal 2005 as compared to
operating and net losses $3.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the
first three months of fiscal 2004.
The overall trends reflected in the results of operations for the first
three months of fiscal 2005 are the increase in revenues from product sales, as
compared to the first three months of fiscal 2004 ($17.7 million for the first
three months of fiscal 2005 as compared to $6.1 million for the first three
months of fiscal 2004), and the increase in MRI equipment segment revenues
relative to HMCA revenues ($19.3 million or 77% from the MRI equipment segment
as compared to $5.8 million or 23% from HMCA, for the first three months of
fiscal 2005, as compared to $7.3 million or 55% from the MRI equipment segment
and $6.0 million or 45%, from HMCA, for the first three months of fiscal 2004).
In addition, we experienced an increase in unrelated party sales relative to
related party sales in our medical equipment product sales ($17.4 million or 83%
to unrelated parties and $307,000 or 17% to related parties for the first three
months of fiscal 2005 as compared to $4.9 million, or 80% to unrelated parties
and $1.2 million or 20% to related parties for the first three months of fiscal
2004). The relative decline in related party sales reflects the increasing
penetration of the marketplace by our Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanners which has more
than compensated for the decline in the related party sales revenues. During the
first quarter of fiscal 2005, related party sales decreased, by 75.0% to
$307,000 as compared to $1.2 million for fiscal 2004.
We believe that the continuing trends in our medical equipment division
have resulted in improved operating results and a profitable first quarter in
fiscal 2005. Factors beyond our control, such as the timing and rate of market
growth which depend on economic conditions, make it impossible to forecast
future operating results. Nevertheless, we believe we have been pursuing the
correct policies which now have brought us to the point of profitability and
should prove successful in keeping the Company profitable and improving its
operating results and net income.
The Company's Stand-Up(TM), and Fonar-360(TM) MRI scanners, together with
the Company's works-in-progress, are intended to significantly improve the
Company's competitive position.
The Company's Stand-Up(TM) scanner, which operates at 6000 gauss (.6 Tesla)
field strength, allows patients to be scanned while standing or reclining. As a
result, for the first time, MRI is able to be used to show abnormalities and
injuries under full weight-bearing conditions, particularly the spine and
joints. A floor-recessed elevator brings the patient to the height appropriate
for the targeted image region. A custom-built adjustable bed will allow patients
to sit or lie on their backs, sides or stomachs at any angle.
Full-range-of-motion studies of the joints in virtually any direction will be
possible, an especially promising feature for sports injuries.
The Stand-Up(TM) will also be useful for MRI directed neuro-surgical
procedures as the surgeon would have unhindered access to the patient's head
when the patient is supine with no restrictions in the vertical direction. This
easy-entry, mid-field-strength scanner should be ideal for trauma centers where
a quick MRI-screening within the first critical hour of treatment will greatly
improve patients' chances for survival and optimize the extent of recovery.
The Fonar 360(TM) is an enlarged room sized magnet in which the floor,
ceiling and walls of the scan room are part of the magnet frame. This is made
possible by Fonar's patented Iron-Frame(TM) technology which allows the
Company's engineers to control, contour and direct the magnet's lines of flux in
the patient gap where wanted and almost none outside of the steel of the magnet
where not wanted. Consequently, this scanner allows 360 degree access to the
patient and physicians and family members are able to enter the scanner and
approach the patient.
The Fonar 360(TM) is presently marketed as a diagnostic scanner and is
sometimes referred to as the Open Sky(TM) MRI. In its Open Sky(TM) version, the
Fonar 360(TM) serves as an open patient friendly scanner which allows 360 degree
access to the patient on the scanner bed. To optimize the patient-friendly
character of the Open Sky(TM) MRI, the walls, floor, ceiling and magnet poles
are decorated with landscape murals. The patient gap is twenty inches and the
magnetic field strength, like that of FONAR's Stand-Up(TM) and QUAD(TM) MRI
scanner, is 0.6 Tesla.
In the future, we may also develop the Fonar 360(TM) to function as an
operating room. We sometimes refer to this contemplated version of the Fonar
360(TM) as the OR-360(TM). In its OR-360(TM) version, which is in the planning
stages, the enlarged room sized magnet and 360 access to the patient afforded by
the Fonar 360(TM) would permit full-fledged surgical teams to walk into the
magnet and perform surgery on the patient inside the magnet. Most importantly
the exceptional quality of the MRI image and its capacity to exhibit tissue
detail on the image, can then be obtained real time during surgery to guide the
surgeon in the surgery. Thus surgical instruments, needles, catheters,
endoscopes and the like could be introduced directly into the human body and
guided to the malignant lesion by means of the MRI image. The number of
inoperable lesions should be greatly reduced by the availability of this new
capability. Most importantly treatment can be carried directly to the target
tissue. The interventional OR-360(TM) version of the Fonar 360(TM) is still in
the planning stages. There is not a prototype. A full range of MRI compatible
surgical instruments using ceramic cutting tools and beryllium-copper materials
are commercial available.
The Company's works in progress include an in-office weight bearing
extremities scanner which will be able to be used to examine the knee, foot,
elbow, hand, wrist and shoulder. This scanner will allow scans to be performed
under both weight- bearing and non-weight-bearing conditions.
The Company expects marked demand for its most commanding MRI products, the
Stand- Up(TM) and the Fonar 360(TM), first for their exceptional features in
patient diagnosis and treatment. These scanners additionally provide improved
image quality and higher imaging speed because of their higher field strength of
..6 Tesla.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased slightly from
$20.6 million at June 30, 2004 to $20.2 million at September 30, 2004. Principal
uses of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2005 included capital
expenditures of $513,000, repayment of indebtedness and capital lease
obligations in the amount of $120,000, capitalized software development costs of
$203,000 and capitalized patent and copyright costs of $41,000.
Marketable securities approximated $10.4 million as at September 30, 2004,
as compared to $11.1 million at June 30, 2004. At September 30, 2004, our
investments in U.S. Government obligations were $4.7 million, our investments in
corporate and government agency bonds were $3.2 million and our investments in
certificates of deposit and deposit notes were $2.4 million. The investments
made have had the intended effect of maintaining a stable investment portfolio.
Cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal
2005 approximated $441,000. Cash provided by operating activities was
attributable primarily to stock issued for compensation, costs and expenses of
$1.4 million, offset primarily by, billings in excess of costs and estimated
earnings on uncompleted contracts of $755,000.
Cash provided by investing activities for the first three months of fiscal
2005 approximated $10,000. The principal uses of cash from investing activities
during the first three months of fiscal 2005 consisted of, expenditures for
property and equipment of approximately $513,000 and capitalized software and
patent costs of approximately $244,000, offset by the sale of marketable
securities of $767,000.
Cash used by financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2005
approximated $163,000. The principal uses of cash in financing activities during
the first three months of fiscal 2005 consisted of repayment of principal on
long-term debt and capital lease obligations of approximately $120,000 and
distributions to holders of minority interests of $185,000. The source of cash
from financing activities was net proceeds from exercises of stock options and
warrants of $142,000.

=========== ========== ========== ========== ==========
Total liabilities decreased by 2.7% to $32.7 million at September 30, 2004
from $33.7 million at June 30, 2004.
We experienced a decrease in long-term debt from $720,000 at June 30, 2004
to $639,000 at September 30, 2004, a decrease in excess of costs and estimated
earnings on uncompleted contracts from $2.9 million at June 30, 2004 to $2.8
million at September 30, 2004, an increase in accounts payable from $5.4 million
at June 30, 2004 to $6.1 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease in customer
advances from $7.8 million at June 30, 2004 to $6.8 million at September 30,
2004 and a decrease in other current liabilities from $10.0 million at June 30,
2004 to $9.6 million at September 30, 2004.
As of September 30, 2004, these obligations of approximately $9.6 million
in other current liabilities included deferred revenue from license fees of $1.8
million, unearned revenue on service contracts of $2.2 million, accrued salaries
and payroll taxes of $1.6 million and excise and sales taxes of $1.7 million.
Our working capital approximated $25.3 million as of September 30, 2004, as
compared to working capital of $22.6 million as of June 30, 2004, increasing by
11.8%. This results principally from an increase in accounts receivable of $1.2
million ($15.6 million at June 30, 2004 as compared to $16.8 million at
September 30, 2004), along with a decrease of customer advances of $1.0 million
($7.8 million at June 30, 2004 as compared to $6.8 million at September 30,
2004). Accounts receivable increased from $15.6 million as at June 30, 2004 to
$16.8 million as at September 30, 2004 due to increased receivables from the
Company's medical equipment segment and in particular, an increase of
approximately $1.0 million in accounts receivable from service contracts on MRI
scanners.
With respect to current liabilities, the current portion of long-term debt
decreased from $6.0 million at June 30, 2004 to $5.9 million at September 30,
2004, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts decreased from $2.9 million at June 30, 2004 to $2.8 million at
September 30, 2004. Customer advances decreased from $7.8 million at June 30,
2004 to $6.8 million at September 30, 2004 and accounts payable increased from
$5.4 million at June 30, 2004 to $6.1 million at September 30, 2004.
The decrease in customer advances and billings in excess of costs and
estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts reflects the Company's progress in
filling its backlog of orders, which also translates into an increase in
recognized revenues. The increase in accounts payable resulted from the purchase
of parts to manufacture the scanners.
In order to conserve our capital resources, we have issued common stock
under our stock bonus and stock option plans to compensate employees and
non-employees for services rendered. In the first three months of fiscal 2005,
the compensatory element of stock issuances was $781,000 as compared to $1.2
million for the first three months of fiscal 2004. Utilization of equity in lieu
of cash compensation has improved our liquidity since it increases cash
available for other expenditures.
The foregoing trends in Fonar's capital resources are expected to improve
as Fonar's MRI scanner products gain wider market acceptance and produce
increased product sales.
Fonar has not committed to making additional capital expenditures in the
2005 fiscal year other than its intention to continue research and development
expenditures at current levels. HMCA also expects to incur expenditures of
approximately $900,000 to acquire premises and to construct and furnish three
new Stand-Up(TM) MRI facilities, which would bring the total number of
Stand-Up(TM) MRI facilities managed by HMCA to seven.
Our business plan calls for a continuing emphasis on providing our
customers with enhanced equipment service and maintenance capabilities and
delivering state-of-the-art, innovative and high quality equipment upgrades at
competitive prices.
We believe that the above mentioned financial resources, anticipated cash
flows from operations and potential financing sources, will provide the cash
flows needed to achieve the sales, service and production levels necessary to
support our operations.
