Management Discussion
President and CEO, Timothy R. Damadian, said, “Although the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our management subsidiary, HMCA, since March of last year, we are steadily recovering.
The MRI scan volume in the quarter ending June 30, 2020 was 27,757, which was
“Prior to the pandemic,” continued Mr. Damadian, “we had planned to invest between
“With the installation of a second MRI in the White Plains facility, we now manage eleven (11) facilities with two or more MRI scanners – five (5) in New York and six (6) in Florida. Our vertical growth strategy of installing a second or even a third MRI at high-volume, high-patient-backlog facilities has been very successful. Naturally we focus on growing our remaining single-MRI facilities sites to the point where a second MRI is justified and feasible.
“As reported previously, we are planning to establish a de novo center in Bronx County, New York; we continue our search for promising locations currently underserved by FONAR’s Upright® MRI technology; and, as always, we seek to make acquisitions that would expand our existing networks of managed facilities.
Mr. Damadian concluded, “I remain grateful for the efforts of the non-controlling-interest group members of our management team. I’ve worked with them for many years. Their management skills, concern for the safety of patients and employees, and commitment to the success of FONAR and HMCA have enabled us to be profitable even in the midst of a pandemic that has been hampering our business for nearly a year.”
“Some more good news,” said Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., Chairman of the Board of FONAR Corporation, “is that the enormous appeal of the comfort and diagnostic strength that is offered by our UPRIGHT® Multi Position™ MRI, aka STAND-UP® MRI, has given the Company favorable word-of-mouth benefit. I am told by our executive team that many, or most, potential patients are already aware of this technology. So, when given the opportunity to choose, they select their MRI scans at an imaging center that features our UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI scanner.
“Physicians are also aware of the benefits of scanning the spine in the fully weight-loaded position,” continued Dr. Damadian. “Being scanned on the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI gives them the advantage of being able to see the fully weight-loaded stress on the spine that occurs in their patient’s daily activities. Our management team spends a great deal of effort to assure that the need of the referring physician to visualize his patient’s spine in its FULL RANGE of FULLY WEIGHT-LOADED POSITIONS is a key provision. That it enables them to select the treatment that best addresses the patient's SPECIFIC physio-anatomic deficiency is our priority.
“I expect that the Company will have returned to its pre-pandemic levels of growth and profitability this year. We share the sorrow that the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought upon our society. Now with the vaccine, and other measures in place, we look forward to a rebounding economy and our own continued success.
Dr. Damadian concluded, “The Company continues its research of the imaging and quantifying of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow as it circulates from the brain, down the spine and throughout the brain. We believe that this research will lead to a new understanding of the role of CSF physiology in the neurodegenerative diseases Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and childhood autism. In Fiscal 2021, the Company will continue with this valuable research made possible by the introduction of Fonar’s UPRIGHT® MRI imaging technology.”
About FONAR
FONAR, the Inventor of MR Scanning™, located in Melville, NY, was incorporated in 1978, and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI company in the industry. FONAR introduced the world’s first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. FONAR’s signature product is the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (also known as the STAND-UP® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position™ Imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI often detects patient problems that other MRI scanners cannot because they are lie-down, ”weightless-only” scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero patient claustrophobic rejection rate. As a FONAR customer states, “If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they’ll be claustrophobic in my parking lot.” Approximately
FONAR has new works-in-progress technology for visualizing and quantifying the cerebral hydraulics of the central nervous system, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which circulates throughout the brain and vertebral column at the rate of 32 quarts per day. This imaging and quantifying of the dynamics of this vital life-sustaining physiology of the body’s neurologic system has been made possible first by FONAR’s introduction of the MRI and now by this latest works-in-progress method for quantifying CSF in all the normal positions of the body, particularly in its upright flow against gravity. Patients with whiplash or other neck injuries are among those who will benefit from this new understanding.
FONAR’s primary source of income and growth is attributable to its wholly-owned diagnostic imaging management subsidiary, Health Management Company of America (HMCA) www.hmca.com.
FONAR’s substantial list of patents includes recent patents for its technology enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging of all the gravity sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities and spine. It includes its newest technology for measuring the Upright cerebral hydraulics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the central nervous system. FONAR’s UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the only scanner licensed under these patents.
