FONAR Corporation, sometimes referred to as the “Company” or “FONAR”, is a Delaware corporation which was incorporated on July 17, 1978. Our address is 110 Marcus Drive, Melville, New York 11747 and our telephone number is 631-694-2929. FONAR also maintains a website at www.fonar.com. FONAR provides copies of its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and amendments to these reports to stockholders on request. We conduct our business in two segments. Our medical equipment segment is conducted directly through FONAR. Our physician management and diagnostic services segment is conducted through our subsidiary Health Management Corporation of America (“HMCA”). HMCA provides management services, administrative services, billing and collection services, credentialing services, contract negotiations, compliance consulting, purchasing, IT services, hiring, conducting interviews and managing personnel, storage of medical records, office space, equipment, repair, maintenance service, and clerical and other non-medical personnel to medical providers engaged in diagnostic imaging. In addition to acting as a management company, HMCA owns and operates six diagnostic imaging facilities in Florida. See Note 15 for a more detailed analysis. FONAR is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling and servicing magnetic resonance imaging scanners, also referred to as “MRI” or “MR” scanners, which utilize MRI technology for the detection and diagnosis of human disease, abnormalities, other medical conditions and injuries. FONAR’s founders built the first MRI scanner in 1977 and FONAR introduced the first commercial MRI scanner in 1980. FONAR is also the originator of the iron-core non-superconductive and permanent magnet MRI technology. FONAR’s iron frame technology made FONAR the originator of “open” MRI scanners. We introduced the first “open” MRI in 1980. Since that time we have concentrated on further application of our “open” MRI, introducing most recently the Upright® Multi-Position™” MRI scanner (also referred to as the “Upright®” or “Stand-Up®” MRI scanner) and the FONAR 360™ MRI scanner. The FONAR 360™ MRI is not presently being marketed. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for separate financial information regarding our medical equipment and physician and diagnostic management services segments. On July 7, 2025, the board of directors received a non-binding proposal from a group led by Timothy Damadian, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Luciano Bonanni, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to which proposal the group would acquire all of the outstanding common stock and other securities of the Company not currently owned by the members of the group. Members of the group have voting control of the Company’s equity securities and the group advised the Company that it was unwilling to support any alternative transaction. As proposed, the transaction, if completed, would result in the Company no longer being a publicly held company, and its Common Stock would be de-listed from the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Board of Directors has established a Special Committee of independent and disinterested directors to consider the proposal and negotiate on behalf of the Company and its stockholders. The Special Committee has retained its own independent financial and legal advisors to assist it in this process. The group and the Special Committee are engaged in negotiations related to the proposed going private transaction. No definitive agreements or terms have been executed by the parties and there is no assurance that the transaction will be completed. Any definitive agreement and transaction will require approval by the Company’s common stock holders and will require the filing of definitive proxy materials in accordance with the SEC’s proxy rules to obtain such approval.
