Terry David B. Terry, Vice President and Secretary PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD APRIL 30, 2001 This proxy statement, which is first being mailed to shareholders on or about March 22, 2001, is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Fonar Corporation (the "Company"), to be voted at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company to be held at 10:00 a.m. on April 30, 2001 and any adjournment(s) thereof for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at any time prior to the exercise of the powers conferred thereby, by delivering a signed statement to the Secretary of the Company at or prior to the annual meeting or by executing another proxy dated as of a later date. The cost of solicitation of proxies is to be borne by the Company. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2001 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. Shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share, shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share and shares of Class C Common Stock are entitled to twenty-five votes per share. At the close of business on February 22, 2001, there were 58,551,868.889 shares of Common Stock held of record by 5,383 stockholders, 4,211 shares of Class B Common Stock held of record by 12 stockholders and 9,562,824 shares of Class C Common Stock held of record by 4 stockholders. The shares of Class A Nonvoting Preferred Stock (7,836,286.75 shares held of record by 4,028 stockholders at the close of business on February 22, 2001) are not entitled to vote. Any proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by delivery of a written instrument of revocation or a later dated proxy to the principal executive office of the Company or, while the meeting is in session, to the Secretary of the meeting, without, however, affecting any vote previously taken. The presence of a stockholder at the meeting will not operate to revoke his proxy. The casting of a ballot by a stockholder who is present at the meeting, however, will revoke his proxy, but only as to the matters on which the ballot is cast and not as to any matters on which he does not cast a ballot or as to matters previously voted upon. Proxies received by management will be voted at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. EACH PROXY WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS MADE THEREIN BY THE PERSON GIVING THE PROXY. TO THE EXTENT NO CHOICE IS SPECIFIED, HOWEVER, THE PROXY WILL BE VOTED FOR MANAGEMENT'S PROPOSALS. All of management's proposals have been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors. 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION Four directors are to be elected at the annual meeting, to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. It is intended that the accompanying proxy will be voted in favor of the following nominees to serve as directors unless the stockholder indicates to the contrary on the proxy. Management expects that each of the nominees will be available for election, but if any of them is not a candidate at the time the election occurs, it is intended that such proxy will be voted for the election of another nominee to be designated by the Board of Directors to fill any such vacancy.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES The five nominees will be elected to hold office for the ensuing year or until their respective successors are elected and qualified. The Company's Board of Directors has an audit committee. There is no standing compensation committee or nominating committee. Drs. Damadian and Messrs. Janoff and O'Data serve on the audit committee. Messrs. Janoff and O'Data are independent directors, as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Dr. Damadian is not independent by reason of the fact that he is an officer, employee and principal stockholder of the Company. During the year ended June 30, 2000 the Board of Directors unanimously consented to action in lieu of a meeting on four occasions. In accordance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, the Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee which will take effect in June, 2001. A copy of the charter is included as Appendix A to this proxy statement. Under the Marketplace Rules and new charter, all directors on the audit committee will be required to be independent. Commencing at that time the audit committee will consist of Mr. O'Data, Mr. Janoff and Dr. Todd. Dr. Damadian will no longer be eligible to serve on the committee because he is the President, Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder of the Company. Dr. Damadian receives no cash compensation for serving on the Board. The other four directors are each paid $20,000 per year in their capacities as directors. VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION The directors will be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes represented at the meeting. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR ALL OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR. INFORMATION REGARDING BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Company's common shares by the nominees for directors, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and the directors and executive officers as a group as of September 6, 2000. Name and Address of Shares Percent Beneficial Owner (1) Beneficially Owned of Class Raymond V.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS (See Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 which is specifically incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the Form 10-K is included in the Annual Report to Stockholders which is being sent to the Company's stockholders with this Proxy Statement.) The Company believes that each of the related transactions described therein were on terms at least as favorable to the Company as were available from non-affiliated parties. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. With the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Raymond V. Damadian, the compensation of the Company's executive officers is based on a combination of salary and bonuses based on performance. The Chief Executive Officer's compensation consists only of a salary which has remained constant for more than the past three fiscal years. The Board of Directors does not have a compensation committee. Dr. Raymond V. Damadian, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, is the only executive officer who is a member of the Board of Directors. Dr. Damadian participates in the determination of executive compensation for the Company's officers. As noted above, the Company's compensation policy is primarily based upon the practice of pay-for-performance. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limitation on the deductibility of nonperformance-based compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the Chief Executive Officer. No officer of the Company received compensation in excess of $1 million in fiscal 2000 or in any previous fiscal year. The Board currently believes that the Company should be able to continue to manage its executive compensation program for others so as to preserve the related federal income tax deductions. The following table discloses compensation received for the three years ended June 30, 2000 by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Annual Compensation Long-Term Name and ------------------- Compensation All Other Principal Position Year Salary Other Awards Compensation ---------------------- ---- ---------- ----- ------------ ------------ Raymond V. Damadian 2000 $86,799.97 0 0 0 Chairman of the Board; 1999 $86,799.96 0 0 0 President; Chief Executive Officer; 1998 $84,218.10 0 0 0 Director Compensation Pursuant to Stock Options and SAR Grants No stock options or stock appreciation rights were granted to the Company's Chief Executive Officer during fiscal 2000. Option/SAR Exercises and Year End Values No options or stock appreciation rights were exercised by the Company's Chief Executive Officer during fiscal 2000. The Company's Chief Executive Officer did not hold any unexercised stock options or stock appreciation rights at the end of fiscal 2000. Performance Graph The following graph compares the annual change in the Company's cumulative total shareholder return on its Common Stock during a period commencing on June 30, 1994 and ending on December 31, 2000 (as measured by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment and (B) the difference between the Company's share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period; by (ii) the share price at the beginning of the measurement period) with the cumulative total return of each of: (a) the CRSP Total Return Index for Nasdaq U.S. companies ("Nasdaq"); (b) the CRSP Total Return Index for Nasdaq Medical Device Manufacturers ("Nas-MDM"); and (c) the CRSP Total Return Index for Nasdaq Health companies ("Nas-Hea.") during such period, assuming a $100 investment on June 30, 1994.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF AUDITORS The Board of Directors has selected Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C., as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. The stockholders will be asked to ratify this action by the Board. The Company's auditors, Tabb, Conigliaro & McGann, P.C., merged into Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. Tabb, Conigliaro & McGann were the Company's auditors for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1990 through June 30, 2000. One or more representatives of Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. are expected to be present at the Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and to be available to respond to appropriate questions. The affirmative vote of shares holding a majority of the votes represented at the meeting is required to ratify the selection of auditors by the Board of Directors. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL. PROPOSALS OF STOCKHOLDERS Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the 2002 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by the Company no later than December 3, 2001 to be included in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy related to that meeting. SOLICITATION OF PROXIES The proxy accompanying this Proxy Statement is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company. Proxies may be solicited by officers, directors, and regular supervisory and executive employees of the Company, none of whom will receive any additional compensation for their services. Such solicitations may be made personally, or by mail, e-mail, facsimile, telephone, telegraph, or messenger. The Company will pay persons holding shares of common stock in their names or in the names of nominees, but not owning such shares beneficially, such as brokerage houses, banks, and other fiduciaries, for the expense of forwarding solicitation materials to their principals. All of the costs of solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. VOTING TABULATION The election of the Company's directors requires a plurality of the votes represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, and the ratification of the selection of auditors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the meeting will be tabulated by the Company. A stockholder who abstains from voting on any or all proposals will be included in the number of shareholders present at the meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions will not be counted either in favor of or against the election of the nominees or other proposals. Under the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, brokers holding stock for the accounts of their clients who have not been given specific voting instructions as to a matter by their clients may vote their clients' proxies in their own discretion. Where a proposal requires a majority of the votes present for its passage, an abstention or non-vote will have the same effect as a negative vote. OTHER MATTERS The Board of Directors does not intend to bring any other business before the meeting, and so far as is known to the Board, no matters are to be brought before the meeting except as specified in the notice of the meeting. However, as to any other business which may properly come before the meeting, it is intended that proxies, in the form enclosed, will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting such proxies.

2000 ANNUAL REPORT FONAR CORPORATION PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE To Our Stockholders: I will begin by stating that I am very optimistic about the future of FONAR Corporation. The quality, variety and uniqueness of our products; the needs and direction of the MRI marketplace; the unprecedented readiness of our sales, marketing, manufacturing and customer service organizations; and the proven R&D capability to generate innovation after innovation make me extremely confident that FONAR is in excellent position for years to come. Allow me to elaborate: FONAR is the only MRI manufacturer that offers a full line of MRI products, the FONAR Seven. Among them, the product that has generated an extraordinary amount of interest among potential customers and the product that I feel has the greatest sales potential for FONAR is Indomitable(TM), the Stand-Up MRI(TM). This product is literally in a class of its own since it is the only MRI in the world that can perform positional MRI (pMRI), i.e. the Stand-Up MRI(TM) scans patients in upright, weight-bearing positions, in addition to the conventional lie-down positions. The Stand-Up is the only MRI that can scan patients in the position their symptoms occur, in their position of pain. We were excited in 1996 when we first introduced the concept of a Stand-Up MRI(TM) at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Since then our excitement has not waned but intensified as FONAR's dedicated team has tirelessly transformed a great idea into a great product. As evidenced by the events of this past year, we at FONAR aren't the only ones who think our Stand-Up MRI(TM) is a great idea: In August 2000, General Electric Medical Systems and FONAR agreed that the only MRI scanner designed for full-body, weight-bearing MRI that GE will market and sell is FONAR's Stand-Up MRI(TM). This sets in motion a marketing strategy that I believe will be of great benefit to both companies. Early clinical reports independently confirm the effectiveness and potential of positional MRI. Among them are the results of Randy Jinkins, M.D., a world-renowned author and researcher in the field of spine-related imaging. Dr. Jinkins used Indomitable(TM) to compare MRI studies of patients in recumbent (lie-down) positions with MRI scans of the same patients in upright, weight-bearing positions. He reported at the American Society of Spine Radiology (ASSR) Symposium in Florida (February, 2001), "I will not be able to completely trust the spine images from a recumbent-only MRI again." Other encouraging results came from a leading neuroscience team from the University of Niigata in Japan. The team provided independent objective corroboration of the power of upright MRI. Experimenting with two magnets, one upright and one horizontal, they reported at RSNA 2000, "Vertical imaging systems are likely to be the method of choice for non-invasive imaging analysis of the brain..." The need for upright MRI was dramatically underscored by an experience of one patient. Conventional horizontal MRI exams of an Alabama, auto-accident victim suffering with severe, unremitting lower back pain were insufficiently revealing to convince his attending physicians that surgery would help the patient and relieve his pain. During this past year, the patient was scanned standing up on Indomitable(TM) at FONAR headquarters in New York. For the first time, the surgeon could see pathology that was not visible on the other scans. The surgery was performed because of the upright MRI scans and today the patient is free of the pain he had suffered without relief for two years. In October 2000, we were delighted to receive word from the FDA that we had been granted permission to market Indomitable(TM). We took our first two orders before the close of the calendar year; Indomitable(TM) was enthusiastically received at RSNA 2000; the first installation is near completion; and the manufacturing department has been geared for large-scale production. The Stand-Up MRI(TM) is beginning to make its mark in the MRI marketplace. Other FONAR products include the Echo(TM), a compact, whole-body MRI designed to sell at a low price; the QUAD(TM) 12000, the Company's premier four-post, 0.6 Tesla Open MRI; and the FONAR 360(0) (TM). Cleared-for-marketing by the FDA in March 2000, the "no-post" FONAR 360(0) (TM) in its fully landscaped "open sky" configuration is the most open of all open MRIs. In its future "interventional 360(0)" configuration, this scanner will be used for MRI-guided interventions (The MRI Operating Room). FONAR's works-in-progress scanners include the Pinnacle(TM), a high-field superconducting Open MRI, and the mpExtremity MRI(TM), a small, in-office, weight-bearing MRI for extremities (arms, knees, wrists, etc.). No matter what the MRI need of a potential customer, FONAR and only FONAR has a product to meet that need. We have accomplished a great deal over the past year. In response to the enthusiastic interest in our products, FONAR has established its own direct sales force to market our scanners across the nation. This sales force continues to be expanded. We completed the transformation of our production department into a state-of-the art manufacturing facility and achieved ISO 9001 Certification, a highly prized and internationally recognized designation in regard to product quality and standards of manufacturing practices. We've fine-tuned the QUAD(TM) 12000, which now boasts the largest installed base of high-field Open MRI's. We also received FDA clearance to market three new products. Our tradition of extraordinary R&D achievements has continued. Among them was the completion of the development of SymPulse(TM), FONAR's new ultra-fast MRI computer operating system. Designed for the full FONAR Seven product line and the installed base, this innovation has recently been cleared-for-marketing by the FDA. Based upon Windows NT and INTEL processors, the extraordinary speed and power of the system is demonstrated by its ability to guide MRI scans over the internet from remote locations. Designed to readily employ the latest advancements in cutting-edge chip technology, it makes FONAR systems practically obsolescence proof. The Company continues to assert and protect its intellectual property rights. At this writing, 53 patents have been issued to FONAR and another 47 are pending. I am pleased to report that Health Management Corporation of America (HMCA), the Company's physician and diagnostic services management subsidiary, continues to grow. Last August, desperate for room for growth, HMCA moved its operations to a newly constructed facility near FONAR headquarters. The subsidiary now manages 34 diagnostic centers and physician offices, including a year 2000 start-up medical office that is already profitable. During the year, two diagnostic imaging centers have been upgraded with FONAR QUAD(TM) 12000's, one of which has already doubled its scan volume. Other upgrades are on the drawing board, including the completion of the installation of a showcase FONAR 360(0) (TM) in the Company's diagnostic imaging center in Melville. I think our stockholders should know that it is my view that FONAR is entering the most exciting and promising time in the history of the company. Over the past few years, the successful protection of our intellectual property has allowed us to invest for the long-term future of FONAR. The transformation from the R&D mode to a full-scale MRI manufacturing company is complete. We now look forward to reaching our goals of record sales, profitability and shareholder value. Thank you for staying with us. The best is yet to come. Sincerely, Raymond V. Damadian President and Chairman

ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL FONAR Corporation (the "Company" or "FONAR") is a Delaware corporation which was incorporated on July 17, 1978. The Company's address is 110 Marcus Drive, Melville, New York 11747 and its telephone number is (631) 694-2929. FONAR also maintains a WEB site at www.fonar.com. FONAR is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, selling and servicing magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI" or "MR") scanners which utilize MRI technology for the detection and diagnosis of human disease. FONAR introduced the first MRI scanner in 1980 and is the originator of the iron-core non-superconductive and permanent magnet technology. FONAR's iron frame technology made FONAR the originator of "open" MRI scanners. FONAR introduced the first "open" MRI in 1980 and maintained its "open" design ever since. Health Management Corporation of America (formerly U.S. Health Management Corporation and hereinafter sometimes referred to as "HMCA") was formed by the Company in March 1997 as a wholly-owned subsidiary in order to enable the Company to expand into the business of providing comprehensive management services to medical providers. In connection with its entry into this new line of business, HMCA has completed five acquisitions. HMCA provides management services, administrative services, office space, equipment, repair and maintenance service and clerical and other non-medical personnel to physicians and other medical providers, including diagnostic imaging centers. See Note 20 to the Financial Statements for separate financial information respecting the Company's medical equipment and physician and diagnostic management services segments. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of Management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statement included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OVERVIEW. The Company's products and works-in-progress (dubbed the "Fonar Seven") are intended to significantly improve the Company's competitive position. The Company's products are the Fonar 360(TM), the "QUAD(TM)" series of MRI scanners and the Echo(TM) MRI scanner. The Fonar 360, approved for marketing by the FDA on March 16, 2000, includes the "Open Sky(TM)" MRI. The magnet frame is incorporated into the floor, ceiling and sidewalls of the scan room and is open. Consequently, physicians and family members can walk inside the magnet to approach the patient. The Open Sky version of the Fonar 360 is decoratively designed so that it is incorporated into the panoramic landscape that decorates the walls of the scan room. The ability of the Fonar 360 to give physicians direct 360 access to patients and the availability of MRI compatible surgical instruments will also enable the Fonar 360, in its future "OR-360(TM)" version, to be used for image guided surgery. The "QUAD(TM) 12000" MR scanner utilizes a 6000 gauss iron core electromagnet and is accessible from four sides. The QUAD 12000 is the first "open" MR scanner at high field. The greater field strength of the 6000 gauss magnet, when enhanced by the electronics already utilized by the Company's scanners, produces images of a quality and clarity competitive with high field superconductive magnets. The QUAD 12000 scanner magnet is the highest field "open MRI" in the industry. The Company also produces the "QUAD(TM) 7000," a MR scanner which is similar in design to the QUAD 12000 but utilizes a smaller 3,500 gauss electromagnet. The less expensive QUAD 7000 offers an economical solution to the rising cost of medicine. In addition, the Company offers a low cost open MRI scanner, the "Echo(TM)" operating at .3 Tesla field strength. The Company's current "works in progress" include its "Stand-Up MRI", also called "Indomitable(TM)", a scanner which will allow patients to be scanned while in weight-bearing positions, and the "Pinnacle(TM)" which combines many of the features of the QUAD scanners with a superconducting magnet. (See "Works in Progress".) Indomitable(TM) will permit, for the first time, MRI diagnoses to be made in the weight-bearing state. It is also anticipated that Indomitable(TM) will enable MRI-guided surgical and interventional procedures to be performed when the patient is upright. The Company submitted the Indomitable(TM) to the FDA for approval in August, 2000. As a result of these new products and other research and development, the Company is positioning itself to dramatically increase sales and improve its competitive position in the marketplace. Following a two and a half year period of intense research and development activity the Company is now in the process of turning its attention from predominately research and development to predominantly sales. The Company intends to increase its sales force and is seeking experienced medical equipment salesmen and distributors worldwide. Among other things the Company also intends to expand its website to a full-scale interactive sales desk for reaching new customers and assisting existing customers. The Company will also continue to actively seek to promote foreign sales. The Company believes there are and will be significant market opportunities abroad, particularly in Asia and Eastern Europe. In March 1997, FONAR formed Health Management Corporation of America (formerly U.S. Health Management Corporation and hereinafter sometimes referred to as "HMCA") as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of engaging in the business of providing comprehensive management and administrative services, office space, equipment, repair and maintenance service for equipment and clerical and other personnel (other than physicians) to physicians' practices and other medical providers, including diagnostic centers. HMCA entered the physician and diagnostic management services business through the consummation of two acquisitions, effective June 30, 1997. As a result of these two acquisitions, three additional acquisitions and the opening of new facilities, HMCA currently is managing 22 diagnostic imaging centers and 12 primary care and specialty medical practices located principally in New York State and Florida. PRODUCTS The Company's principal products are the Fonar 360, the QUAD series of MRI scanners and the Echo. The Fonar 360 has an enlarged room sized magnet in which the magnet frame is incorporated into the floor, ceiling and walls of the scan room. 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. Physicians and family members are able to actually enter the scanner and approach the patient. In its Open Sky version, the Fonar 360 serves as an open patient friendly scanner which allows 360 access to the patient on the scanner bed. The walls can be decorated with panoramic murals and the entire scan room can be decorated to be incorporated into the pictured landscape. In its future interventional OR-360 version, the enlarged room sized magnet and 360 access to the patient afforded by the Fonar 360 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 exceptional capacity to exhibit tissue detail on the image, by virtue of the nuclear resonance signal's extraordinary capacity to create image contrast, can then be obtained real time during surgery to guide the surgeon in the surgery. Thus surgical instruments, needles, catheters, endoscopes and the like can 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. With current treatment methods, therapy must always be restricted in the doses that can be applied to the malignant tissue because of the adverse effects on the healthy tissues. Thus chemotherapies must be limited at the first sign of toxic side effects. The same is the case with radiation therapy. The Company expects that with the OR 360 treatment agents may be administrated directly to the malignant tissue through small catheters or needles allowing much larger doses of chemotherapy, x-rays, laser ablation, microwave, or rf to be applied directly and exclusively to the malignant tissue with more effective results. Since the procedure of introducing a treatment needle or catheter under image guidance will be minimally invasive the procedure can be readily repeated should metastases occur elsewhere, with minimum impact on the patient beyond a straightforward needle injection. The presence of the MRI image during treatment will enable the operator to make assessments during treatment if his treatment is being effective. To increase the number of patients who can be scanned, patients are rolled into the scanner room on a special high-throughput gurney. Once the bed is anchored in position, it allows for full horizontal, vertical and rotational positioning for scanning any region of the body. To optimize the patient-friendly character of the Open Sky 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 QUAD 12000, is 0.6 Tesla. The Open Sky MRI shares the fundamental technology of the QUAD 12000 and offers the same speed, precision and image quality. The QUAD(TM) 12000 MR scanner utilizes a 6000 gauss iron core electromagnet and is accessible from four sides. The QUAD 12000 is the first "open" MR scanner at high field. The QUAD(TM) 7000 is similar in design to the QUAD 12000 but utilizes a smaller 3,500 gauss electromagnet. In addition to the patient comfort, increased throughput and new applications (such as MRI directed surgery and MRI mammography) made possible by the QUAD scanners' open design, the QUAD scanners are designed to maximize image quality through an optimal combination of signal-to-noise (S/N) and contrast-to-noise (C/N) ratios. The technical improvements realized in the QUAD's design over its predecessors also include increased image-processing speed and diagnostic flexibility. MRI directed surgery (laproscopic surgical procedures) is possible by the QUAD's ability to supply images to a monitor positioned next to the patient, enabling a surgeon to view in process surgical procedure from an unlimited number of vantage points. The marked openness of FONAR's QUAD scanners enables surgeons to perform a wide range of surgical procedures inside the magnet. The "QUAD" scanners are unique MR scanners in that four sides are open, thus allowing access to the scanning area from four vantage points. The starshaped open design of the QUAD will also make possible a host of new applications, particularly MRI mammography and MRI directed surgery (Interventional MRI). With the QUAD's multi-bed patient handling system, many more short scan procedures such as those used in breast imaging can be done in a day, allowing the price of MRI mammography to drop without reducing the scanner's revenue-generating capacity. At the same time, there is not the painful compression of the breast characteristic of X-ray mammography. The principal difference between the QUAD scanners and other open MRI scanners is in field strength. Other open MRIs operate at significantly lower magnetic field strengths and, therefore, are unable to produce the amount of MRI image-producing signal necessary to make high-quality MRI images (measured by signal-to-noise ratios, S/N). The QUAD 12000 scanner utilizes a 6000 gauss (.6 Tesla field strength) iron core electromagnet. The greater field strength of the 6000 gauss magnet, when enhanced by the electronics already utilized by the Company's scanners, produces images of a higher quality and clarity than other open MRI scanners. The QUAD 12000 scanner magnet is the highest field "open MRI" in the industry and operates at a field strength that is almost two times its closest competitor (.6 Tesla field strength versus .35 Tesla field strength). The QUAD scanners are designed to maximize image quality through an optimal combination of signal-to-noise (S/N) and contrast-to-noise (C/N) ratios. The technical improvements realized in the QUAD's design over its predecessors also include increased image-processing speed and diagnostic flexibility. Maximal S/N is achieved when the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the receiving coil axis are perpendicular to one another, as is the case with the QUAD scanners. The orientation of the magnetic field is vertical and when combined with any one of FONAR's array of solenoidal (wrap-around) surface coils, the QUAD 12000, for example, produces as much S/N as a supercon MRI at twice the field strength. So that prospective buyers can make an accurate comparison, the number 12,000 is used to describe the S/N equivalency of the QUAD 12000 to 12,000-gauss superconductive machines. Several technological advances have been engineered into the QUAD scanners for extra improvements in S/N, including: new high-S/N Organ Specific(TM) receiver coils\; new ceramic magnet poles that provide advanced eddy-current control\; new advanced front-end electronics featuring high-speed, wide-dynamic-range analog-to-digital conversion and a miniaturized ultra-low-noise pre-amplifier\; high-speed automatic tuning, bandwidth-optimized pulse sequences, multi-bandwidth sequences, and off-center FOV imaging capability. In addition to the signal-to-noise ratio, however, the factor that must be considered when it comes to image quality is contrast, the quality that enables reading physicians to clearly distinguish adjacent, and sometimes minute, anatomical structures. This quality is measured by contrast-to-noise ratios (C/N). Unlike S/N, which increases with increasing field strength, relaxometry studies have shown that C/N peaks in the mid-field range and actually falls off precipitously at higher field strengths. The QUAD 7000 and QUAD 12000 scanners operate squarely in the optimum C/N range. In addition, the Company's works-in-progress, the OR 360, Open Sky MRI and Stand-Up MRI are also designed to operate with said C/N range. The QUAD provides various features allowing for versatile diagnostic capability. For example, SMART(TM) scanning allows for same-scan customization of up to 63 slices, each slice with its own thickness, resolution, angle and position. This is an extremely important feature for scanning parts of the body that include small-structure sub-regions requiring finer slice parameters. There's also Evolving Images(TM), Multi-Angle Oblique (MAO)(TM) imaging, and oblique imaging. The QUAD console includes a mouse-driven, multi-window interface for easy operation and a 19-inch, 1280 x 1280-pixel, 20-up, high-resolution image monitor with features such as electronic magnifying glass and real-time, continuous zoom and pan. Prior to the introduction of the QUAD scanners, the Ultimate(TM) 7000 scanner, introduced in 1990, was the Company's principal product. The Ultimate scanner replaced the Company's traditional principal products, the Beta(TM) 3000 scanner (which utilized a permanent magnet) and the Beta(TM) 3000M scanner (which utilized an iron core electromagnet). All of the Company's current and earlier model scanners create cross-sectional images of the human body. During fiscal 2000, sales of the Company's QUAD scanners accounted for approximately 8.6% of the Company's total revenues and 66.5% of its medical equipment segment revenues, as compared to 7% of total revenues and 40% of medical equipment revenues during fiscal 1999. There were no sales of Ultimate or Beta scanners in fiscal 2000 and only one sale of a Beta scanner (1% of total revenues and 6.6% of medical equipment segment revenues) in fiscal 1999. The Company also offers a low cost open scanner, the Echo, which operates at a .3 Tesla field strength. The Echo is an open upgraded version of the Company's former principal product, the Beta MRI scanner, but open on four sides to provide four directions for patient access instead of two. The materials and components used in the manufacture of the Company's products (circuit boards, computer hardware components, electrical components, steel and plastic) are generally available at competitive prices. The Company has not had difficulty acquiring such materials. WORKS IN PROGRESS The Company's current "works in progress" center around the development of the Indomitable(TM) and Pinnacle scanners. All of the Company's products and works-in-progress seek to bring to the public MRI products that are expected to provide important advances against serious disease. MRI takes advantage of the nuclear resonance signal elicited from the body's tissues and the exceptional sensitivity of this signal for detecting disease. Much of the serious disease of the body occurs in soft tissue. The principal diagnostic modality currently in use for detecting disease, as in the case of x-ray mammography, are diagnostic x-rays. X-rays discriminate soft tissues like healthy breast tissue and cancerous tissue poorly because the x-ray particle traverses the tissues almost equally thereby rendering the target film equally exposed by the two tissues and creating healthy and cancerous shadows on the film that differ very little in brightness. The image contrast between cancerous and healthy tissue is poor, making the detection of breast cancers by the x-ray mammogram less than optimal. If microscopic stones (microcalcifications) are not present to provide the missing contrast the breast cancer goes undetected. They frequently are not present. The maximum contrast available by x-ray with which to discriminate disease is 4%. Brain cancers differ from surrounding healthy brain by only 1.6%. On the other hand the soft tissue contrasts with which to distinguish cancers on images by MRI are up to 180%. This is because the nuclear resonance signals from the body's tissues differ so dramatically. Liver cancer and healthy liver signals differ by 180%. Thus there is some urgency to bring to market an MRI based breast scanner that can overcome the x-ray limitation and assure that mammograms do not miss serious lesions. The added benefit of MRI mammography relative to x-ray mammography is the elimination of the need for the patient to disrobe and the painful compression of the breast typical of the x-ray mammogram. The patient is scanned in her street clothes in MRI mammography. Moreover MRI mammogram scans the entire chest wall including the axilla for the presence of nodes which the x-ray mammogram cannot reach. Among its other uses, the Company envisions that its Open Sky MRI(TM) scanner will meet the public need for an MRI breast scanner. In addition there is a need for a treatment modality that can deal effectively with the diseased tissue once it has been detected. The Company's Indomitable(TM) scanner will allow patients to be scanned while standing or reclining. As a result, for the first time, MRI will be 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. Full range of motion cines, or movies, of the lumbar spine will be achieved under full body weight. Indomitable(TM) will also be useful for MR-directed surgical procedures as the surgeon would have unhindered access to the patient 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 Company is seeking approval from the FDA for Indomitable and submitted an application on August 9, 2000. The Company is also developing a superconductive version of its open iron frame magnets, the "Pinnacle" (TM), and has completed construction of a prototype with a 0.6 Tesla superconductive magnet. The Company's design of its superconductive magnet anticipated the possibility of making its other products available as superconducting magnets. Therefore, it is the Company's objective to make Indomitable(TM) and the Fonar 360 available to FONAR's customers as either iron-frame resistive models or iron-frame superconductive magnets depending on customer preference and pricing. The Pinnacle will have a field strength between 0.6 to 1.0 Tesla and a 18-inch gap vertical field. This MRI scanner will combine the benefits of its patented iron-frame, vertical field magnet design with a superconducting magnet. The Company is negotiating with several universities to install and commence clinical trials of its new products. The Company is working with these universities to jointly secure research funding for these products. PRODUCT MARKETING The principal markets for the Company's scanners are hospitals and private scanning centers. Following a two and a half year period of intense research and development activity to develop and consolidate the features of its MRI scanners, the Company is now turning its attention from predominantly research and development to predominantly sales. The Company intends to increase its sales force and is seeking experienced medical equipment sales personnel and distributors. The Company will conduct domestic sales through its own sales personnel and independent sales representatives and distributors. In foreign markets, the Company plans to expand its existing network of independent distributors. In addition, the Company plans to expand its website to include an interactive "sales desk" for reaching customers and to commence a program for providing demonstrations of its products to potential customers on an international basis. The Company has exhibited its new products at the annual trade show held by the Radiological Society of North America ("RSNA") in Chicago since November 1995 and plans to attend the RSNA trade show in November 2000 and future years. The RSNA trade show is held annually and is attended by most manufacturers of MRI scanners. The Company is directing its marketing efforts to meet the demand for both "open" and high field strength MRI scanners. Utilizing a 6000 gauss (0.6 Tesla field strength) iron core electromagnet, the QUAD 12000 scanner magnet is the highest field "open MRI" in the industry. The Company also plans to direct its marketing efforts to meeting the increasing demand for low price MRI. To date, the increased pressure for lower scanning prices has come largely from preferred provider organizations, health maintenance organizations and other private sector group plans and stricter insurance requirements, but government mandated health care reform is also under consideration. To meet this demand, the Company has set competitive prices for the QUAD 12000 and QUAD 7000 scanners. In addition to reducing the health care provider's equipment cost, the QUAD scanners' improved image processing speed and extra-bed(s) option (allowing patients to be prepped while another patent is being scanned) would enable the provider to increase patient volume and further reduce per scan costs. The reduced per scan costs will enable the Company to promote the QUAD 7000 in particular for short scan procedures such as MRI mammograms. MRI mammograms have the advantage over traditional x-rays of involving no radiation, and an MRI breast scan can be taken in most cases through ordinary street clothes without any painful compression. The Company also will seek to introduce new MRI applications for the QUAD scanners such as MRI-directed surgery and head-to-toe MRI preventive screening. The Company will also focus its marketing efforts on Indomitable (TM) which when commercially available will be the first MRI scanner to enable images and diagnoses to be made of a patient in the weight-bearing state. The Company is actively seeking to promote foreign sales and has sold scanners in various foreign countries. Based on indications of interest, meetings, sales trips abroad and negotiations, the Company is optimistic that foreign sales will continue to be an important source of revenue. The Company believes there are and will be significant market opportunities abroad, particularly in Asia and Eastern Europe. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, 2.8% of the Company's revenues were generated by foreign sales, as compared to 3.4% and 4.6% for fiscal 1999 and 1998 respectively. See "Note 9 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for the percentage of foreign sales as in relation to the Company's total revenues. SERVICE AND UPGRADES FOR MRI SCANNERS The Company's customer base of installed scanners has been and will continue to be an additional source of income, independent of direct sales. Income is generated from the installed base in two principal areas namely, service and upgrades. Service and maintenance revenues from the Company's installed base were approximately $3.7 million in fiscal 1998, $3.1 million in fiscal 1999 and $2.8 million is fiscal 2000. The decreases in fiscal 1999 and 2000 were principally the result of the retirement of old scanners. The Company anticipates that its new line of scanners will result in significant upgrades income in future fiscal years. The potential for upgrades income originates in the exceptional versatility and productivity of the MRI technology. New medical uses for the technology are constantly being discovered. Dramatic new features can often be added to the scanner by the implementation of little more than versatile new software packages. For example, new software packages make possible the reformatting of scanner slices so that a stack of slices across the large bowel allow one to reconstruct the lumen of the bowel and through the use of software navigators visually carry out a "fly-thru" through the bowel searching for polyps and tumors. The procedure eliminates the unpleasant intubation of the bowel for routine colonoscopy. The procedure is presently operative using a CT scanner and plans are underway to adopt it for MRI. Software can be added to current MRI angiograms to synchronize the angiograms to the cardiac cycle. By doing so the dynamics of blood vessel filling and emptying can be visualized with cine movies. Such enhancements are attractive to the end users because they extend the useful life of the equipment and enable the user to avoid obsolescence and the expense of having to purchase new equipment. Service and upgrade revenues are expected to increase as sales of QUAD scanners and the size of the customer base increases. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred expenditures of $5,893,648 ($361,323 of which was capitalized) on research and development, as compared to $6,647,555 (none of which was capitalized) and $6,506,995 (none of which was capitalized) incurred during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. Research and development activities have focused, in large part, on the development of the new Fonar 360 and Indomitable (TM) MRI scanners and the continued development and enhancement of the Company's QUAD MR scanners. The Fonar 360(OR 360 and Open Sky MRI), Indomitable (TM) MRI and QUAD scanners involve significant software and hardware development as the new products represented entirely new hardware design and architecture requiring a complete new operating software system. The Company's research activity includes developing a multitude of new features for the QUAD series scanners made possible by the QUAD's high speed processing power. BACKLOG The Company's backlog of unfilled orders at September 1, 2000 was approximately $2.05 million, as compared to $1.4 million at September 1, 1999. Of these amounts, approximately $0.45 million and $0.35 million had been paid to the Company as customer advances as at September 1, 2000 and September 1, 1999, respectively. Of the backlog amounts at September 1, 1999 and September 1, 2000, none represented orders from affiliates. It is expected that the existing backlog of orders will be filled within the current fiscal year. The Company's contracts generally provide that if a customer cancels an order, the customer's initial down payment for the MRI scanner is nonrefundable. PATENTS AND LICENSES There are currently numerous patents in effect which relate to the technology and components of the MRI scanners, some of which are registered in the name of the Company and others which are registered in the name of Dr. Raymond V. Damadian, the President and principal stockholder of the Company. The Company believes that these patents, and the know-how it developed, are material to its business. Dr. Damadian has granted an exclusive world-wide license to the Company to make, use and sell apparatus covered by certain domestic and foreign patents relating to his MRI technology. The license continues until the expiration of the last patent included within the licensed patent rights, but is terminable earlier, at the option of Dr. Damadian, if he is removed from his position as Chairman of the Board or President of the Company without his consent, or if any stockholder or group of stockholders acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner of Company securities having voting power equal to or greater than the voting power of the securities held directly by him, his executors, administrators, successors or heirs. The agreement can also be terminated by Dr. Damadian upon the commission of an act of bankruptcy by the Company. If Dr. Damadian is unable to serve the Company by reason of his death or disability, the license agreement will remain in effect. Only one patent, which will expire in October, 2000, remains subject to this license. No royalties have been paid to Dr. Damadian under this license. One of the patents, issued in the name of Dr. Damadian and covered by said license, is United States patent No. 3,789,832, Apparatus and Method for Detecting Cancer in Tissue (the "1974 Patent"). The development of the Beta 3000 was based upon the 1974 Patent, and Management believes that the 1974 Patent was the first of its kind to utilize MR to scan the human body and to detect cancer. The 1974 Patent was extended beyond its original 17-year term and expired in February, 1992. None of the recoveries with respect to the enforcement of this patent were received by Dr. Damadian. The Company has significantly enhanced its patent position within the industry and now possesses a substantial patent portfolio which provides the Company, under the aegis of United States patent law, "the exclusive right to make, use and sell" many of the scanner features which FONAR pioneered and which are now incorporated in most MRI scanners sold by the industry. The Company has 47 patents issued and 32 patents pending. A substantial number of FONAR's existing patents specifically relate to protecting FONAR's position in the high field iron frame open MRI market. The patents further enhance Dr. Damadian's pioneer patent (the 1974 Patent), that initiated the MRI industry and provided the original invention of MRI scanning. The Company has entered into a cross-licensing agreement (utilizing other than FONAR's MRI technology) with another entity to use prior art developed for nuclear magnetic resonance technology and has entered into a license to utilize the MRI technology covered by the existing patent portfolio of a patent holding company. The Company also has patent cross-licensing agreements with other MRI manufacturers. PRODUCT COMPETITION MRI SCANNERS A majority of the MRI scanners in use in hospitals and outpatient facilities and at mobile sites in the United States are based on high field air core magnet technology while the balance are based on open iron frame magnet technology. In 1998 the size of the MRI market in the United States was approximately $957 million. The market share of high field air core MRI's was approximately 57%. In 1999 the size of the MRI market in the United States was approximately 1.074 billion. FONAR's open iron frame MRI scanners are competing principally with high field air core scanners. The QUAD 12000 scanner, however, utilizing a 6,000 gauss (0.6 Tesla field strength) iron core electromagnet, is the first "open" MR scanner at high field strength. In addition FONAR's works-in-progress include a superconductive version of its open iron frame magnets. FONAR believes that its MRI scanners have significant advantages as compared to the high field air core scanners of its competitors. These advantages include: 1. There is no expansive fringe magnetic field. High field air core scanners require a more expensive shielded room than is required for the iron frame scanners. The shielded room required for the iron frame scanners is intended to prevent interference from external radio frequencies. 2. They are more open, quiet and in the case of the QUAD scanners allow for faster throughput of patients. 3. Their annual operating costs are lower. 4. They can scan the trauma victim, the cardiac arrest patient, the respirator-supported patient, and premature and newborn babies. This is not possible with high field air core scanners because their magnetic field interferes with conventional life-support equipment. The principal competitive disadvantage of the Company's products is that they are not "high field strength" (1.0 Tesla +) magnets. As a general principle, the higher the field strength can produce a faster scan. In some parts of the body a faster scan can be traded for a clearer picture. Although the Company believes that the lower cost of its systems plus the benefits of "openness" provided by its scanners compensate for the lower field strength, certain customers will still prefer the higher field strength. FONAR faces competition within the MRI industry from such firms as General Electric Company\; Picker International, which is a Division of General Electric Company PLC, of England;\ Philips N.V.\; Toshiba Corporation, Hitachi Corporation and Siemens A.G. Most competitors have marketing and financial resources more substantial than those available to the Company and have in the past, and may in the future, heavily discount the sales price of their scanners. Such competitors sell both high field air core and iron frame products. FONAR's current market share of the market for MRI scanners is less than 5%. FONAR introduced the first "Open MRI" in 1982. "Open MRI" was made possible by FONAR's introduction of an MRI magnet built on an iron frame. Thus the magnetic flux generating apparatus of the magnet (magnet coils or permanent magnet bricks) was built into a frame of steel. The steel frame provided a return path for the magnetic lines of force and thereby kept the magnetic lines of force contained within the magnet. This enabled FONAR, from 1982 on, to show that the FONAR magnet was the only magnet that allowed the patients to stretch out their arms, the only "open" MRI. The iron frame, because it could control the magnetic lines of force and place them where wanted and remove them from where not wanted (such as in the operating room where surgeons are standing), provided a much more versatile magnet design than was possible with air core magnets. Air core magnets contain no iron but consist entirely of turns of current carrying wire. FONAR's patented work-in-progress superconductive iron frame magnet, however, combines the high field capability of the air core superconductive magnets with the control and versatility of the open iron frame magnets, thereby joining the best features of both designs into a single magnet. Thus the air core superconductive magnets made by Fonar's large competitors that have dominated the MRI market since 1983 remain the confining "tunnel" design that the public has generally resented. For an 11 year period, 1983-1994, Fonar's large competitors (with one exception) generally rejected Fonar's "open" design but by 1994 all (with one exception) added the iron frame "open" magnet to their MRI product line. In 1997 the sale of iron frame "open" magnets exceeded the sale of traditional air core superconductive magnets. One principal reason for this market shift, in addition to patient claustrophobia, is the awareness that the "open" magnet designs permit access to the patient to perform surgical procedures under MRI image guidance, a field which is now growing rapidly and is called "interventional MRI." Fonar's future OR 360 version of the Fonar 360 explicitly addresses this growing market reception of MRI guided surgical procedures but is not yet available as a product. Fonar's Indomitable and QUAD series magnets do also. Although not enabling a full operating theater as the OR 360 does, the iron frame "Open" QUAD and Indomitable designs permit ready access to the patient from four sides and therefore enables a wide range of interventional surgical procedures such as biopsies and needle or catheter delivered therapies to be performed under MRI image guidance. The "tunnel" air core superconductive scanners do not permit access to the patient while the patient is inside the scanner. While Fonar's current market share of the domestic MRI market is under 5%, FONAR expects to be a leader in domestic open market for several reasons. In MRI, scanning speed and image quality is controlled by the strength of the magnetic field. Fonar's QUAD 12000 scanner operates at almost twice the field strength of the next highest field strength open magnet, manufactured by Toshiba (0.6 Tesla vs. 0.35 Tesla). The Company's Fonar 360 and Indomitable scanners also operate at this field strength. High field MRI manufacturers convinced the marketplace for FONAR, and the marketplace accepts, that higher field strength translates directly into superior image quality and faster scanning speeds. This is the principal reason GE's 1.5 Tesla air core superconductive scanner achieved market dominance in the MRI market before the marketplace shifted and registered an increased demand for the iron frame "Open MRI." No companies possess the Fonar 360 and FONAR possesses the pioneer patents on "Open MRI" technology. OTHER IMAGING MODALITIES FONAR's MRI scanners also compete with other diagnostic imaging systems, all of which are based upon the ability of energy waves to penetrate human tissue and to be detected by either photographic film or electronic devices for presentation of an image on a television monitor. Three different kinds of energy waves - X-ray, gamma and sound - are used in medical imaging techniques which compete with MRI medical scanning, the first two of which involve exposing the patient to potentially harmful radiation. These other imaging modalities compete with MRI products on the basis of specific applications. X-rays are the most common energy source used in imaging the body and are employed in three imaging modalities: 1. Conventional X-ray systems, the oldest method of imaging, are typically used to image bones and teeth. The image resolution of adjacent structures that have high contrast, such as bone adjacent to soft tissue, is excellent, while the discrimination between soft tissue organs is poor because of the nearly equivalent penetration of x-rays. 2. Computerized Tomography ("CT") systems couple computers to x-ray instruments to produce cross-sectional images of particular large organs or areas of the body. The CT scanner addresses the need for images, not available by conventional radiography, that display anatomic relationships spatially. However, CT images are generally limited to the transverse plane and cannot readily be obtained in the two other planes (sagittal and coronal). Improved picture resolution is available at the expense of increased exposure to x-rays from multiple projections. Furthermore, the pictures obtained by this method are computer reconstructions of a series of projections and, once diseased tissue has been detected, CT scanning cannot be focused for more detailed pictorial analysis or obtain a chemical analysis. 3. Digital radiography systems add computer image processing capability to conventional x-ray systems. Digital radiography can be used in a number of diagnostic procedures which provide continuous imaging of a particular area with enhanced image quality and reduced patient exposure to radiation. Nuclear medicine systems, which are based upon the detection of gamma radiation generated by radioactive pharmaceuticals introduced into the body, are used to provide information concerning soft tissue and internal body organs and particularly to examine organ function over time. Ultrasound systems emit, detect and process high frequency sound waves reflected from organ boundaries and tissue interfaces to generate images of soft tissue and internal body organs. Although the images are substantially less detailed than those obtainable with x-ray methods, ultrasound is generally considered harmless and therefore has found particular use in imaging the pregnant uterus. X-ray machines, ultrasound machines, digital radiography systems and nuclear medicine compete with the MRI scanners by offering significantly lower price and space requirements. However, FONAR believes that the quality of the images produced by its MRI scanners is generally superior to the quality of the images produced by those other methodologies. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Under the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, all medical devices are classified by the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") into one of three classes. A Class I device is subject only to certain controls, such as labeling requirements and manufacturing practices\; a Class II device must comply with certain performance standards established by the FDA\; and a Class III device must obtain pre-market approval from the FDA prior to commercial marketing. The Company received approval to market its Beta 3000 and Beta 3000M scanners as Class III devices on September 26, 1984 and November 12, 1985. On July 28, 1988, the Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device which includes MR Imaging and MR Spectroscopy was reclassified by the FDA to Class II status. On June 25, 1992, the Company received FDA clearance to market the Ultimate Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner as a Class II device. The Company received FDA clearance to market the QUAD 7000 in April 1995 and for the QUAD 12000 in November 1995. On March 16, 2000, the Company received FDA approval to market the Fonar 360 for diagnostic imaging (the Open Sky version). On August 9, 2000, the Company applied for FDA approval for the Stand-Up MRI. The Company anticipates that it will need additional FDA approvals or clearances for the OR 360 version of the Fonar 360 and Pinnacle MRI scanners. The FDA has authority to conduct detailed inspections of manufacturing plants, to establish "good manufacturing practices" which must be followed in the manufacture of medical devices, to require periodic reporting of product defects and to prohibit the exportation of medical devices that do not comply with the law. The Company is subject to these requirements and has received the necessary approvals. In addition, the Company needs to obtain any necessary approvals from the appropriate foreign governmental and other authorities in connection with its export sales. Effective November 22, 1985, the Department of Health and Human Services authorized reimbursement of MRI scans under the Federal Medicare program. In addition, most private insurance companies have authorized reimbursement for MRI scans. Proposed and enacted legislation at the State and Federal levels has restricted referrals by physicians to medical and diagnostic centers in which they or their family members have an interest. In addition, regulations have been adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services which provide limited "safe harbors" under the Medicare Anti-Kickback Statute. These safe harbors describe payments and transactions which are permitted between an entity receiving reimbursement under the Medicare program and those having an interest in or dealings with the entity. Although the Company cannot predict the overall effect of the adoption of these regulations on the medical equipment industry, the use and continuation of limited partnerships (where investors may be referring physicians) to own and operate MRI scanners could be greatly diminished. The Company obtains approvals as necessary in connection with the sales of its products in foreign countries. In some cases, U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval has been sufficient for foreign sales as well. The Company's standard practice has been to require either the distributor or the customer to obtain any such foreign approvals or licenses which may be required. Commencing in fiscal 1998 export sales to most European countries and certain other countries have required CE certification (essentially safety requirements for electrical products). On May 25, 1999, the Company obtained CE certification. Previously, on April 9, 1999, the Company was approved for ISO 9001 Certification for its Quality Management System. The Quality Management System is applicable to the design, manufacture, administration of installation and servicing of magnetic resonance imaging scanner systems. HEALTH MANAGEMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA (PHYSICIAN AND DIAGNOSTIC MANAGEMENT SERVICES BUSINESS) Health Management Corporation of America (formerly known as U.S. Health Management Corporation and referred to as "HMCA") was organized by the Company in March 1997 as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of engaging in the business of providing comprehensive management services to physicians' practices and other medical providers, including diagnostic imaging centers and ancilliary services. The services provided by the Company include development, administration, leasing of office space, facilities and medical equipment, provision of supplies, staffing and supervision of non-medical personnel, legal services, accounting, billing and collection and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies. Since its formation, HMCA has completed five acquisitions. HMCA became actively engaged in the physician and diagnostic management services business through its initial two acquisitions which were consummated effective June 30, 1997. Following these two initial acquisitions, HMCA completed two additional acquisitions in fiscal 1998 and one additional acquisition in fiscal 1999. The first acquisition was of a group of several interrelated corporations, limited liability companies and a partnership engaged in the business of managing three diagnostic imaging centers and one multi-specialty practice in New York State. The transaction was effected through a merger between a wholly-owned subsidiary of HMCA (formed for the purpose of effecting the transaction) and Affordable Diagnostics, Inc., one of the acquired companies which immediately prior to the merger had acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the other acquired companies (together, the "Affordable Companies"). The consideration paid for the Affordable Companies consisted of 2,340,000 shares of the common stock of Fonar. The business of the Affordable Companies, which is being continued by HMCA, consisted of providing management, space, equipment, personnel and other resources to the four managed facilities. The services provided at the facilities include MRI scans, CAT scans, x-rays, physical rehabilitation, and in connection with physical rehabilitation, ultra-sound and SSEP/EMG electromygographic diagnostics. The four managed facilities are located in Brewster, New York (MRI), Yonkers, New York (MRI and x-ray), Bronx, New York (MRI and CT) and Riverdale, New York (multi-specialty practice, ultra-sound and SSEP/EMG electromygographic diagnostics). The assets acquired through the acquisition include three MRI scanners, one CT scanner, one x-ray machine, rehabilitation equipment and ultra-sound and electromygographic machines. The equipment is leased to and used at the managed facilities. In addition, HMCA consummated the acquisition of an additional MRI scanner pursuant to a contract entered into prior to the acquisition. The second completed acquisition was of Raymond V. Damadian, M.D. MR Scanning Centers Management Company ("RVDC"). Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, HMCA purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of RVDC from Raymond V. Damadian in exchange for 10,000 shares of the Common Stock of FONAR. Raymond V. Damadian, the principal stockholder, President and Chairman of the Board of FONAR, was the sole stockholder, director and President of RVDC immediately prior to the acquisitions. The business of RVDC, which is being continued by HMCA, was the management of MRI diagnostic imaging centers in New York, Florida, Georgia and other locations. The assets of RVDC included nine MRI scanners, office equipment and office furnishings. RVDC also held partnership interests in three partnerships owning MRI scanning centers. As a result of these transactions with Dr. Damadian, HMCA has acquired the business of managing 19 MRI scanning centers. Sixteen of the scanning centers are managed pursuant to management agreements, and 3 of the centers are partnerships with RVDC as the general partner. Effective July 1, 1997, HMCA entered into new management agreements with the centers. Pursuant to the management agreements, HMCA is providing comprehensive management services, including administrative services, office facilities, office equipment, supplies and personnel (except for physicians) to the centers. Service for the centers' MRI scanning equipment is provided under the management agreements in these cases. MRI scanning systems are provided to 9 of the centers pursuant to scanner leases entered into effective July 1, 1997. All of the facilities previously managed by RVDC are MRI scanning centers. The third completed acquisition, consummated on January 20, 1998, was an acquisition of the business and assets of Central Health Care Services Management Company, LLC (Central Health). Central Health is a management service organization (MSO) managing a multi-specialty practice in Yonkers, New York. The assets acquired include therapy and rehabilitation equipment, x-ray equipment, office equipment and office furnishings. The purchase price of Central Health was $1,454,160, of which $601,665 was paid in cash, $551,665 by notes, $25,000 by assumptions of liabilities and the balance in shares of Fonar common stock valued at $275,830. The fourth completed acquisition, consummated effective March 20, 1998, was the acquisition of A & A Services, Inc. ("A & A Services"), an MSO managing four primary care practices in Queens County, New York. A & A Services provides the practices with management services, office space, equipment, repair and maintenance service for the equipment and clerical and other non medical personnel. The office locations for the practices are located in Woodhaven, Richmond Hill, Corona and Ridgewood in Queens County, New York and account for over 40,000 primary care patient visits per year. The assets owned by A&A Services included medical and office equipment and office furnishings. The purchase price for A&A was $10 million, $4 million of which was paid in cash at closing and $6 million of which is payable pursuant to promissory notes over a total of six years from closing. The notes are secured by the assets of the acquired businesses as of the date of the acquisition. Additional consideration is payable if net income for the acquired business exceeds $2.3 in any of the five years following the closing as follows: in each year, 75% of net income between $2.3 million and $2.8 million; 50% of net income between $2.8 million and $3.5 million and 25% of net income in excess of $3.5 million. The fifth completed acquisition, consummated effective August 20, 1998, was the acquisition of Dynamic Health Care Management, Inc. ("Dynamic"). Dynamic is an MSO which manages three physician practices in Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island, New York. The office locations for these practices are in Bellmore and Hempstead in Nassau County and Deer Park in Suffolk County and account for approximately 85,000 patient visits per year. The assets of Dynamic included therapy and rehabilitation equipment, office equipment and office furnishings. The purchase price for Dynamic was $11,576,231, consisting of $2.0 million in cash and the balance payable pursuant to promissory notes over an aggregate period of five years from the closing. The notes are secured by the assets of the acquired business as of the date of the acquisition. HMCA GROWTH STRATEGY In addition to purchasing management companies, HMCA may also pursue acquisitions in which HMCA would purchase the assets of physicians' practices. Simultaneously with the acquisition of the assets, HMCA would enter into agreements with the physicians (or a professional corporation employing the physicians) pursuant to which HMCA would lease the use of the assets and provide management services to the physicians or their professional corporations. The professional corporation could be either affiliated with HMCA or owned by the selling physicians. HMCA believes that there are numerous existing medical practices that could benefit from improved management techniques which would allow the physicians to spend more time treating patients (thereby increasing their revenue) and less time being concerned with the day to day tasks of managing the business. Although the disadvantages to physicians would be the increased administrative costs in the form of management fees payable to HMCA, and the lack of direct accountability of the nonprofessional staff to the physicians, the Company believes the ability of the physicians to spend more time practicing medicine will more than compensate for these disadvantages. In addition, expansion plans for HMCA's clients include opening more offices and expanding existing offices so as to enable practices to treat more patients more efficiently. HMCA is seeking to create a network of physicians to participate in managed care and to promote an expansion of the medical services offered by its medical practice clients. HMCA believes that the creation of this network will be particularly helpful to its clients where capitated fee agreements are negotiated with insurers since its clients will be able to offer more services from more locations and thereby obtain a higher capitation rate than they might otherwise have been able to obtain. Capitated fee arrangements are arrangements with HMO's whereby the physician or physician practice is paid a fixed monthly fee based on the age and gender of covered person. The fees vary from HMO to HMO and are essentially set by the HMO's. HMCA's growth strategy is intended to enable its medical practice clients to retain and enhance revenues and to offer patients cost-effective medical care within an integrated practice offering a broad range of evaluation, testing, diagnostic, treatment and therapeutic services. In the longer term, as the network of offices to which it provides its management services grows, HMCA believes that it will be in an excellent position to attract managed care contracts for its clients from employers and insurance carriers. PHYSICIAN AND DIAGNOSTIC MANAGEMENT SERVICES HMCA's services to the facilities it manages encompass substantially all of the facilities' operations. These services include: (1) Offices and Equipment. HMCA provides office space and equipment to its clients. This includes technologically sophisticated medical equipment. HMCA also provides improvements to leaseholds, assistance in site selection and advice on improving, updating, expanding and adapting to new technology. (2) Personnel. HMCA staffs all the non-medical positions of its clients with its own employees, eliminating the client's need to interview, train and manage non-medical employees, as well as process the necessary tax, insurance and other documentation relating to employees. (3) Administrative. HMCA assists in the scheduling of patient appointments, purchasing of medical supplies and equipment and handling of reporting, accounting, processing and filing systems. It prepares and files the physician portions of complex forms to ensure full and timely regulatory compliance and appropriate cost reimbursement under no-fault insurance and workers' compensation guidelines. (4) Billing and Collections. HMCA is responsible for the billing and collection of revenues from third-party payors including those governed by no-fault and workers' compensation statutes. (5) Cost Saving Programs. Based on available volume discounts, HMCA seeks to obtain favorable pricing for medical supplies, equipment, pharmaceuticals and other inventory for its clients. (6) Diagnostic Imaging and Ancillary Services. HMCA can offer access to diagnostic imaging equipment through diagnostic imaging facilities managed by it. The Company is expanding the ancillary services offered in its network to include CT-scans, x-rays, ultrasound, and other ancillary services useful to its clients. (7) Marketing Strategies. HMCA is responsible for developing marketing plans for its clients. HMCA provides its services pursuant to negotiated contracts with its clients. While HMCA believes it can provide the greatest value to its clients by furnishing the full range of services appropriate to that client, HMCA would also be willing to enter into contracts providing for a more limited spectrum of management services. In the case of contracts with the MRI facilities, fees are charged by HMCA based on the number of procedures performed. In the case of the physical rehabilitation and medical practices, flat fees are charged on a monthly basis. Fees are subject to adjustment on an annual basis, but must be based on mutual agreement. Only one medical practice, located in Florida where the corporate practice of medicine is permitted, is owned by HMCA. HMCA MARKETING HMCA's marketing strategy is to increase the size, number and locations of medical practices and facilities which it manages. HMCA will also seek to broaden the types of medical practices which it services and to develop a client base of primary care and specialty practices as well as diagnostic imaging facilities and other ancillary services. HMCA will seek to promote growth of its clients' patient and revenue bases by developing a network of medical providers and assisting its clients in the development of multi-specialty medical practices. Marketing activities include locating medical practices which meet the size, quality and operating parameters set by HMCA. HMCA will focus on opportunities for expanding the services clients offer and expanding into new geographic areas. HMCA will also seek to increase the patient volume of clients. DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING CENTERS AND OTHER ANCILLIARY SERVICES Diagnostic imaging centers managed by HMCA provide diagnostic imaging services to patients referred by physicians who are either in private practice or affiliated with managed care providers or other payor groups. The centers are operated in a manner which eliminates the admission and other administrative inconveniences of in-hospital diagnostic imaging services. Imaging services are performed in an outpatient setting by trained medical technologists under the direction of interpreting physicians. Following diagnostic procedures, the images are reviewed by the interpreting physicians who prepare a report of these tests and their findings. These reports are transcribed by HMCA personnel and then delivered to the referring physician. In addition, HMCA is expanding the ancillary services offered in its network to include CT scans, virtual colonoscopies, x-rays, ultrasound and other modalities as may be appropriate for the physician practice mix. HMCA develops marketing programs in an effort to establish and maintain profitable referring physician relationships and to maximize reimbursement yields. These marketing approaches identify and target selected market segments consisting of area physicians with certain desirable medical specialties and reimbursement yields. Corporate and center managers determine these market segments based upon an analysis of competition, imaging demand, medical specialty and payor mix of each referral from the local market. HMCA also directs marketing efforts at managed care providers. Managed care providers are becoming an increasingly important factor in the diagnostic imaging industry. To further its position, HMCA will seek to expand the imaging modalities offered at its managed centers or to create networks with other imaging centers. The planned introduction of virtual colonoscopy at one of the managed centers is considered by HMCA to be one of the most promising new modalities. The device is used with a CT scanner and enables the physician to conduct a colonoscopy without using any invasive instruments. If it proves successful, HMCA will introduce it to other managed centers as appropriate. COMPETITION (HMCA) The physician and diagnostic management services field is highly competitive. A number of large hospitals have acquired medical practices and this trend may continue. HMCA expects that more competition will develop. Many competitors have greater financial and other resources than HMCA. With respect to the diagnostic imaging centers managed by HMCA, the outpatient diagnostic imaging industry is highly competitive. Competition focuses primarily on attracting physician referrals at the local market level and increasing referrals through relationships with managed care organizations. HMCA believes that principal competitors for the diagnostic imaging centers are hospitals and independent or management company-owned imaging centers. Competitive factors include quality and timeliness of test results, ability to develop and maintain relationships with managed care organizations and referring physicians, type and quality of equipment, facility location, convenience of scheduling and availability of patient appointment times. GOVERNMENT REGULATION APPLICABLE TO HMCA Various States prohibit business corporations from practicing medicine. Various States also prohibit the sharing of professional fees or fee splitting. Consequently, HMCA leases space and equipment to clients and provides clients with a range of non-medical administrative and managerial services for agreed upon fees. HMCA does not engage in the practice of medicine or establish standards of medical practice or policies for its clients in any such State. Under the federal Self-Referral Law (the "Stark Law") (which is applicable to Medicare and Medicaid patients) and the self-referral laws of various States, certain health practitioners (including physicians, chiropractors and podiatrists) are prohibited from referring their patients for the provision of designated health services (including diagnostic imaging and physical therapy services) to any entity with which they or their immediate family members have a financial relationship, unless the referral fits within one of the specific exceptions in the statutes or regulations. Statutory exceptions under the Stark Law include, among others, direct physician services, in-office ancillary services rendered within a group practice, space and equipment rental and services rendered to enrollees of certain prepaid health plans. Some of these exceptions are also available under the State self-referral laws. Under the federal Anti-kickback statute, which is applicable to Medicare and Medicaid, it is illegal, among other things, for a provider MRI services to pay or offer money or other consideration to induce the referral of MRI scans. Neither HMCA nor its clients engage in this practice. In addition to the federal self-referral law and federal Anti-kickback statute, many States, including those in which HMCA and its clients operate, have their own versions of self-referral and anti-kickback laws. These laws are not limited in their applicability, as are the federal laws, to specific programs. HMCA believes that it and its clients are in compliance with these laws. HMCA's clients generate revenue from patients covered by no-fault insurance and workers' compensation programs. In the event that changes in these laws alter the fee structures or methods of providing service, or impose additional or different requirements, HMCA could be required to modify its business practices and services in ways that could be more costly to HMCA or in ways that decrease the revenues which HMCA receives from its clients. HMCA believes that it and its clients are in compliance with applicable Federal, State and local laws. HMCA does not believe that such laws will have any material effect on its business. EMPLOYEES As of July 1, 2000, the Company employed 568 persons on a full-time and part-time basis. Of such employees, 13 were engaged in marketing and sales, 43 in research and development, 72 in prodution, 44 in customer support services, 356 in administration (including 201 on site at facilities and offices managed by HMCA and 85 performing billing, collection and transcription services for those facilities) and 40 professional MRI technicians on site at diagnostic imaging centers managed by HMCA. ITEM 2.

The term of one of the leases extends through 2002 with options to renew up through 2008 and the term of the other lease extends to the beginning of 2009. The Company also leases space in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania at a rental of $1350 per month. Management believes that these premises are adequate for its current needs. HMCA leases approximately 16,850 square feet for its headquarters in Melville, New York at a current annual rental rate of $369,865. The term of the lease extends through September, 2009. In addition, HMCA maintains leased office premises for its clients at approximately 38 site locations having an aggregate annual rental rate of approximately $1.9 million under leases having various terms. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In January 1998, the Company filed an action against Health South, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Civil Action No. CV-98-0679) alleging infringement of the Company's Multi-Angle Oblique Imaging Patent (U.S. Patent No. 4,871,966). Health South, Inc. filed a declaratory judgment counterclaim for non-infringement and invalidity and a third party claim against a manufacturer of certain of the scanners. The case was settled with the manufacturer in December, 1999 and with Health South, Inc. in June, 2000. There is no material litigation pending, or to its knowledge, threatened against the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION. INTRODUCTION. The Company was formed in 1978 to engage in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling MRI scanners. In 1997, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America ("HMCA"), formerly known as U.S. Health Management Corporation, in order to expand into the physician and diagnostic management services business. FONAR's principal MRI products are its Fonar 360, QUAD and Echo MRI scanners. Fonar also considers it Stand-Up MRI ("Indomitable(TM)") which has been submitted to the FDA for approval, to be one of its most promising new products. The Company believes it is in a position to aggressively seek new sales. The Fonar 360, QUAD and Stand-Up MRI scanners are highly competitive and totally new non-claustrophobic scanners not previously available in the MRI market. At 0.6 Tesla field strength, the QUAD 12000 magnet is the highest field "Open MRI" in the industry, offering non-claustrophobic MRI together with high-field image quality for the first time. The Fonar 360 and Stand-Up MRI(TM) share the fundamental technology of the QUAD scanners and also have a field strength of 0.6 Tesla. The Company's work-in-progress Pinnacle MRI scanner will combine Fonar's iron frame magnet with a superconducting driver, and is expected to have a field strength between 0.6 and 1.0 Tesla. The Company expects vigorous sales from its new products. Fonar also offers the Echo, a low cost open MRI scanner. (See "Description of Business - Products, Works-in-Progress and Product Marketing.") As part of its scanner marketing program, the Company has attended the industry's annual trade show, RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) since 1995 and plans to do so again in November 2000. The Company believes that it is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the rapidly expanding "Open MRI" market, as the manufacturer of the only high-field "Open MRI" in the industry. The Company expects marked demand for its products since image quality increases as a direct proportion to magnetic field strength. When commercially available, Fonar's Stand-Up MRI is expected to be the only MRI capable of producing images in the weight bearing state. In addition, the Company's new scanners provide improved image quality and high speed imaging at costs that are significantly less than the competition and more in keeping with the medical cost reduction demands being made by our national leaders on behalf of the public. HMCA generates revenues from providing comprehensive management services (including development, administration, accounting and billing and collection services) together with office space, medical equipment, supplies and non-medical personnel to its clients. Revenues are in the form of management and leasing fees. HMCA has completed five acquisitions since it was formed in March 1997. The first acquisition was of a group of companies engaged in the business of managing three diagnostic imaging centers and one multi-specialty practice in New York State (the "Affordable Companies"). The second acquisition was of Raymond V. Damadian, M.D. MR Scanning Centers Management Company ("RVDC"), a company owned by FONAR's principal stockholder, President and Chairman of the Board, Raymond V. Damadian. The business of RVDC, which is being continued by HMCA, was the management of MRI diagnostic imaging centers in New York, Florida, Georgia and other locations. The third acquisition was the acquisition of the business and assets of Central Health Management Co., LLC ("Central Health") a multi-specialty management service organization (MSO) in Yonkers, New York. The fourth acquisition was the acquisition of A & A Services, Inc. ("A & A"), an MSO managing four primary care practices in Queens County, New York, and the fifth acquisition was the acquisition of Dynamic Health Care Management, Inc. ("Dynamic"), an MSO managing three multi-specialty physician practices in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in New York. In addition, HMCA sponsored the opening of and manages two multi-specialty facilities. These facilities are located in Orlando, Florida and Elmhurst, New York. HMCA did not actively engage in business until after June 30, 1997, which was the effective date of its acquisitions of the Affordable Companies and RVDC. As separate businesses, the Affordable Companies had been engaged in business since 1994 and RVDC had been engaged in business since 1990. For financial statement presentation the results of operations, assets and liabilities of the Company and RVDC have been consolidated for prior periods. The Affordable Companies, Central Health, A & A and Dynamic, have been consolidated effective as of the dates of their respective acquisitions (June 30, 1997, January 23, 1998, March 20, 1998 and August 20, 1998, respectively). The Company has assessed the impact of the Year 2000 Issue (Y2K) on its financial reporting systems and operations. The Year 2000 Issue was the result of computer programs being written using two digits (rather than four) to define the applicable year. The Company developed a plan to meet this issue, and reviewed all in-house computer based systems and its existing customer base of MRI Scanners. The Company has successfully implemented the Y2K plan and all systems were upgraded or replaced with little or no impact on operations. Y2K compliant software was installed on the Company's MRI scanners. The scanners transitioned to the year 2000 successfully. Costs of addressing these items did not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999 In fiscal 2000, the Company experienced a net loss of $11.0 million on revenues of $39.1 million as compared to net loss of $14.2 million on revenues of $36.9 million for fiscal 1999. This represents a decrease in the net loss of 22.5% and an increase in revenues of 6%. Revenues attributable to the Company's physician and diagnostic management services segment (HMCA) increased by 8.6% to $34.0 million in fiscal 2000 from $31.3 million in fiscal 1999. Operating income of $2.5 million was recognized from the Company's physician and diagnostic management services in fiscal 2000, as compared to an operating income of $3.1 million in fiscal 1999, representing a decrease of 19.4%. Revenues attributable to the Company's medical equipment segment declined by 4.6% to $6.2 million in fiscal 2000 from $6.5 million in fiscal 1999, reflecting lower sales volume in fiscal 2000. Results of operations for the medical equipment segment declined by 1.1% from a loss of $18.7 million in fiscal 1999 to a loss of $18.9 million in fiscal 2000. The Company's consolidated operating loss increased by 5.1% to a loss of $16.4 million for fiscal 2000 from a loss of $15.6 million for fiscal 1999, a further improvement from the operating loss of $17.6 million for fiscal 1998. Other income of $1.0 million (principally the net proceeds from the Company's patent enforcement lawsuits) and investment income of $2.1 million were recognized by the Company in fiscal 1999 as compared to other income of approximately $5.6 million (principally the net proceeds from the Company's patent enforcement lawsuits) and investment income of $1.9 million in fiscal 2000. This represents an increase of 460% in other income and a decrease of 9.5% in investment income. Costs of revenues and expenses increased by 5.5% from $52.6 million in fiscal 1999 to $55.5 million in fiscal 2000, reflecting principally the expansion of the Company's physician and diagnostic management services operations. Costs of revenue and expenses for the Company's physician and diagnostic management services increased by 8.3% to $23.6 million in fiscal 2000 from $21.8 million in fiscal 1999. Research and development expenses decreased by 16.7% to $5.5 million in fiscal 2000 as compared to $6.6 million in fiscal 1999. Overall, costs of revenues and expenses for the Company's medical equipment segment, however, declined by 3.2% to $24.3 million in fiscal 2000 from $25.1 million in fiscal 1999. This reflects reductions of 10.2% in costs of product sales from $4.4 million in fiscal 2000 to $4.9 million in fiscal 1999. This also reflects an increase of 13% in general and administrative expenses to $8.7 million in fiscal 2000 from$7.7 million in fiscal 1999. Costs of revenue declined by 16.8% to $7.9 million in fiscal 2000 as compared to $9.5 million in fiscal 1999. Revenues generated by sales of QUAD MRI scanners increased by 23% from $2.6 million (7% of total revenues) in fiscal 1999 to $3.2 million (8.4% of total revenues) in fiscal 2000. Revenues attributable to sales of the Company's Ultimate scanners during the same period were $0.00. Sales of Beta scanners were $430,000 in fiscal 1999 (approximately 1% of total revenues) and $84,255 (approximately 0.2% of total revenues) in fiscal 2000. These represented the sale of refurbished equipment, as the company no longer manufactures Beta scanners. Sales to affiliated parties represented approximately 4.5% ($1,752,298) of the Company's revenues in fiscal 2000, as compared to 0.4% ($150,000) of the Company's revenues in fiscal 1999. Gross profit margins on product sales to unrelated parties were negative (49%) in fiscal 1999 and negative (86.7%) in fiscal 2000. This reflected the losses on sales of the Company's QUAD scanners. The Company's strategy is to attempt to hold down the price of its QUAD scanners and to increase profitability by reducing manufacturing costs and increasing volume. The effectiveness of this strategy will not be discernible until higher sales volume for the Company's QUAD scanners is achieved. To reduce the cost of manufacturing its QUAD scanners, the Company expanded its manufacturing capacity in fiscal 2000 and 1999 by acquiring approximately $2.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, worth of new capital equipment. In addition, the Company expanded its operating capacity by hiring additional personnel. Notwithstanding the Company's increased manufacturing activities, revenues attributable to the Company's medical equipment segment declined by 4.6% to approximately $6.2 million in fiscal 2000 from approximately $6.5 million in fiscal 1999. These trends reflected a decline in service revenue of 26.1% from $2.3 million in fiscal 1999 to $1.7 million in fiscal 2000 and a constant level in product sales in fiscal 2000 ($3.4 million) from fiscal 1999 ($3.4 million). The decline in service revenue reflects the retirement of old scanners by the Company's customers. The Company does not expect the decline in revenue to continue. The Company is enthusiastic about the future of its FONAR 360 product line and Indomitable(TM) scanners which will bring a new plateau of "openness" to diagnostic MRI and a new frontier in surgery for performing surgical treatments using MRI images to guide surgery. Continuing its tradition as the originator of MRI, the Company remained committed to maintaining its position as the leading innovator of the industry through aggressive investing in research and development. In fiscal 2000 the Company continued its investment in the development of its new MRI scanners, together with software and upgrades, with an investment of $5,893,648 in research and development ($361,323 of which was capitalized) as compared to $6,647,555 (none of which was capitalized) in fiscal 1999. The research and development expenditure was approximately 116.7% of revenues attributable to the Company's medical equipment segment (and 15.1% of total revenues) in 2000 and $102% of medical equipment segment revenues in 1999 (and 18% of total revenues). This represented a decline of approximately 10.6% in research and development expenses from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000. The Company has continued its efforts to increase scanner sales in foreign countries as well as domestically. Based on sales to date, further indications of interest, meetings, sales trips abroad and negotiations, the Company is optimistic that foreign sales will prove a significant source of revenue. The Company continued to benefit as a result of programs set in motion in fiscal 1989; namely strict cost containment initiatives and expanding the corporate business into a greater number of profitable enterprises within and related to the MRI and medical industries (e.g., physician and diagnostic management services, customer service, upgrades). As a result of this expansion, the percentage of the Company's revenue derived from sources other than scanner sales was approximately 91.4% for fiscal 2000 and 90.9% for fiscal 1999. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Company realized income of approximately $5.6 million from the settlement of various legal disputes (essentially its patent infringement actions) as compared to approximately $1.0 million in fiscal 1999. This represented an increase of 460%. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998 In fiscal 1999, the Company experienced a net loss of $14.2 million on revenues of $36.9 million as compared to a net loss of $5.7 million on revenues of $27.6 million for fiscal 1998. This represented an increase in the net loss of 149% and an increase in revenues of 33.7%. As a result of HMCA's acquisitions, revenues attributable to the Company's physician and diagnostic management services segment (HMCA) increased dramatically, to $31.3 million in fiscal 1999 from $21.1 million in fiscal 1998, representing an increase of 48.3%. Operating income of $3.1 million was recognized from the Company's physician and diagnostic management services in fiscal 1999, as compared to income of $2.7 million in fiscal 1998, representing an increase of 14.8%. Revenues attributable to the Company's medical equipment segment declined by 16.7% to $6.5 million in fiscal 1999 from $7.8 million in fiscal 1998, reflecting lower sales volume in fiscal 1999. Results of operations for the medical equipment segment improved, however, from a loss of $20.3 million in fiscal 1998 to a loss of $18.7 million in fiscal 1999, representing a 7.9% improvement. Other income of $8.6 million (principally the net proceeds from the Company's patent enforcement lawsuits) and investment income of $3.7 million were recognized by the Company in fiscal 1998 as compared to other income of $1.0 million (principally the net proceeds from the Company's patent enforcement lawsuits) and investment income of $2.1 million in fiscal 1999, representing a decline of 88.4% in other income and 43.2% in investment income. Costs of revenues and expenses increased by 16.6% from $45.1 million in fiscal 1998 to $52.6 million in fiscal 1999, reflecting the expansion of the Company's physician and diagnostic management services operations and an increase in research and development in the medical equipment segment. Costs of revenue and expenses for the Company's physician and diagnostic management services increased by 59.1% to $21.8 million in fiscal 1999 from $13.7 million in fiscal 1998. Research and development expenses increased by 1.5% to $6.6 million in fiscal 1999 as compared to $6.5 million in fiscal 1998. Overall, costs of revenues and expenses for the Company's medical equipment segment, however, declined by 10.7% to $25.1 million in fiscal 1999 from $28.1 million in fiscal 1998 reflecting, most significantly, a decrease in costs of product sales of 37.2% to $4.9 million in fiscal 1999 as compared to $7.8 million in fiscal 1998. Revenues generated by sales of QUAD MRI scanners were $4.1 million (approximately 15% of total revenues) in fiscal 1998 and $2.6 million (7% of total revenues) in fiscal 1999,representing a decrease of 36.6%. Revenues attributable to sales of the Company's Ultimate scanners during the same period were $0.00. Sales of Beta scanners were $0.00 in fiscal 1998 and $430,000 in fiscal 1999. Sales to affiliated parties represented approximately 0.4% ($150,000) of the Company's revenues in fiscal 1999, as compared to approximately 0.3% ($100,000) in fiscal 1998. Gross profit margins on product sales to unrelated parties were negative (98%) in fiscal 1998 and negative (49%) in fiscal 1999. This reflected the losses on sales of the Company's QUAD scanners. To reduce the cost of manufacturing its QUAD scanners, the Company expanded its manufacturing capacity in fiscal 1999 and 1998 by acquiring approximately $3.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, worth of new capital equipment. In addition, the Company expanded its operating capacity by hiring additional personnel. Notwithstanding the Company's increased manufacturing activities, revenues attributable to the Company's medical equipment segment declined by 16.7% to approximately $6.5 million in fiscal 1999 from approximately $7.8 million in fiscal 1998. This trend reflected a decline in service revenue of 8% from $2.5 million in fiscal 1998 to $2.3 million in fiscal 1999 and a decrease of 12.8% in product sales in fiscal 1999 to $3.4 million from $3.9 million from fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999 the Company continued its investment in the development of its new MRI scanners, together with software and upgrades, with an investment of $6,647,555 in research and development as compared to $6,506,995 in fiscal 1998. None of these expenditures were capitalized. The research and development expenditure was approximately 102% of revenues attributable to the Company's medical equipment segment and 18% of total revenues in 1999 and $83.3% of medical equipment segment revenues and 23.6% of total revenues in fiscal 1998. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company realized income of approximately $1.0 million from the settlement of various legal disputes, which were essentially its patent infringement actions, as compared to approximately $8.6 million in fiscal 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities declined by 34.2% from $35.4 million at June 30, 1999 to $23.3 million at June 30, 2000. Principal uses of cash during fiscal 2000 included capital expenditures of $2.8 million, repayment of indebtedness and capital lease obligations in the amount of $3.8 million, purchase of treasury stock of $79,000 and $4.7 million to fund the losses for the fiscal year. Marketable securities approximated $11.5 million as of June 30, 2000 as compared to $20.2 million as of June 30, 1999. From June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000 the Company reduced its investments in equity securities from approximately $100,000 to $0, reduced its investments in U.S. Government obligations from approximately $11.0 million to $10.2 million and reduced its investments in corporate and government agency bonds from approximately $9.3 million to $1.5 million. This has had the intended effect of reducing the volatility of the Company's investment portfolio. Cash used in operating activities for fiscal 2000 approximated $4.7 million. Cash used in operating activities was attributable substantially to the funding of the net loss for fiscal 2000. Cash provided by investing activities for fiscal 2000 approximated $5.5 million. The principal source of cash from investing activities during fiscal 2000 consisted of the proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $8.6 million less expenditures for property and equipment of approximately $2.8 million. Cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2000 approximated $4.1 million. The principal uses of cash in financing activities during fiscal 2000 consisted of repayment of principal on long-term debt of approximately $3.8 million. Total liabilities decreased since June 30, 1999 by approximately $5.0 million, or 13.1% to approximately $33.3 million at June 30, 2000. The decrease in liabilities from June 30, 1999 was attributable to a reduction of approximately $5.6 million in long-term debt. As at June 30, 2000, the Company's past due obligations consisted of approximately $643,534 in past due taxes (various state taxes). The Company is seeking to enter into payment plans with taxing authorities with respect to past due taxes and to restructure its other past due indebtedness. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had a bank credit facility of $5,000,000. The unused portion of the facility was approximately $863,000. The interest on loans made under the facility is either the bank's prime rate, as in effect from time to time or 0.5% plus the bank's cost of funds rate, as selected by Fonar when the loan is made. The Company's business plan currently includes an aggressive program for manufacturing and selling its new line of scanners. In addition the Company plans, through its subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America, to develop and expand its physician and diagnostic management services) business (See "Description of Business"). As at June 30, 2000, the Company had current assets of $42.8 million and current liabilities of $18.4 million, resulting in working capital of $24.4 million. The Company believes that these resources alone provide an adequate reserve to fund its operations for the short to medium term. For the long term, the Company will need to rely on income generated by sales of its MRI products and the continued profitability of HMCA. The Company has developed and begun to implement a new program to finance a portion of the purchase price of its scanners through a newly formed subsidiary, Fonar Acceptance Corporation, and to assist the customer in obtaining the remaining portion of its financing through an independent source or sources. The new program is intended to increase the overall profitability of the Company by assisting in the sale of scanners and participating in the profits derived from financing those sales. Advances and notes to affiliates and related parties increased by approximately $597,000 from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000. As these are long-term assets, they tend to reduce the Company's liquidity. Capital expenditures for each of fiscal 2000 and 1999 approximated $2.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, and substantially consisted of office and production equipment. The Company's business plan initiated in September 1989, had as its objective the enhancement and stabilization of revenue streams through the generation of additional income from its installed base of scanners and leasing programs. In addition, the Company instituted strict cost containment programs. While continuing to focus on new sources of income, the Company now has commenced aggressive sales and manufacturing of its new generation of Open MRI scanners and is reemphasizing MRI Scanner sales. In addition, the Company is enhancing its revenue by entering into the physician and diagnostic management services business through its new subsidiary, HMCA. Cost containment programs continue in force notwithstanding an increase in costs and expenses resulting from increased manufacturing activity and marketing of its MRI scanners and the expansion of HMCA's physician and diagnostic management services business. These programs, which include increasing the portion of manufacturing conducted on the Company's premises, have enabled the Company to achieve significantly lower manufacturing costs than would have otherwise been experienced in the production of its QUAD scanners. This has enabled the Company to pass on to customers a much needed reduction in the sales price of MRI scanners. The Company's plan calls for a continuing emphasis on providing its customers with enhanced equipment service and maintenance capabilities and delivering state-of-the-art, innovative and high quality equipment upgrades at competitive prices. Fees for on-going service and maintenance from the Company's installed base of scanners were $2.3 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 and $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2000 (transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated in the consolidation). The Company will continue to aggressively develop and market upgrades and enhancements for previously installed scanners. The Company's working capital surplus as of June 30, 2000 approximates $24.9 million, as compared to a working capital surplus of $37.9 million as of June 30, 1999. The change in the Company's working capital position resulted primarily from its investments in new equipment ($2.8 million), note payments on the purchase prices for HMCA's acquisitions ($3.7 million), its overall operating losses, and an increase in its current liabilities of $560,099 ($18.4 million as at June 30, 2000 as compared to $17.8 million as at June 30, 1999. The Company believes that the above mentioned financial resources will provide the cash flows needed to achieve the sales, service and production levels necessary to support its operations. In addition, the Company is exploring other financing alternatives which may become available as the success of the previously described programs accelerates. ITEM 7A.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS FONAR Corporation (the "Company" or "FONAR") is a Delaware corporation which was incorporated on July 17, 1978. FONAR is engaged in the research, development, production and marketing of medical scanning equipment which uses principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI") for the detection and diagnosis of human diseases. In addition to deriving revenues from the direct sale of MRI equipment, revenue is also generated from its installed base of customers through its service and upgrade programs. Health Management Corporation of America ("HMCA") was organized by the Company in March 1997 as a wholly-owned subsidiary in order to enable the Company to expand into the business of providing comprehensive management services to physicians' practices and other medical providers, including diagnostic imaging centers and ancillary services. The services provided by the Company include development, administration, leasing of office space, facilities and medical equipment, provision of supplies, staffing and supervision of non-medical personnel, legal services, accounting, billing and collection and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies. HMCA entered the physician and diagnostic management services business through the consummation of two acquisitions effective June 30, 1997, two acquisitions, which were consummated during fiscal 1998, and one acquisition consummated in August of 1998. The acquired companies in all cases were actively engaged in the business of managing medical providers. The medical providers are diagnostic imaging centers, principally MRI scanning centers, multi-specialty practices and primary care practices. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FONAR Corporation, its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships and certain medical practices which meet the criteria of the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") consensus no. 97-2. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates relate to contractual and other allowances, income taxes, contingencies and the useful lives of equipment. In addition, healthcare industry reforms and reimbursement practices will continue to impact the Company's operations and the determination of contractual and other allowance estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-15

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Investment in Marketable Securities ----------------------------------- The Company accounts for its investments using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). This standard requires that certain debt and equity securities be adjusted to market value at the end of each accounting period. Unrealized market value gains and losses are charged to earnings if the securities are traded for short-term profit. Otherwise, such unrealized gains and losses are charged or credited to comprehensive income. Management determines the proper classifications of investments in obligations with fixed maturities and marketable equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. At June 30, 2000, all securities covered by SFAS No. 115 were designated as available for sale. Accordingly, these securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Inventories ----------- Inventories consist of purchased parts, components and supplies, as well as work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of cost (materials, labor and overhead determined on the first-in, first-out method) or market. Property and Equipment ---------------------- Property and equipment procured in the normal course of business is stated at cost. Property and equipment purchased in connection with an acquisition is stated at its estimated fair value, generally based on an appraisal. Property and equipment is being depreciated for financial accounting purposes using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives, generally five to seven years, or the term of a capital lease, if applicable. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Excess of Cost Over Net Assets of Businesses Acquired ----------------------------------------------------- The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets of businesses acquired is being amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Other Intangible Assets ----------------------- 1) Capitalized Software Development Costs Certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of the software's technological feasibility and completion of the research and development on the product hardware, in which it is to be used, are required to be capitalized. Capitalization ceases when the product is available for general release to customers, at which time amortization of capitalized costs begins. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over 5 years. 2) Patents and Copyrights Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over 17 years. Long-Lived Assets ----------------- The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangibles and excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired, when there are indications of potential impairment, based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of impairment is calculated by comparing anticipated discounted future cash flows with the carrying value of the related asset. In performing this analysis, management considers such factors as current results, trends, and future prospects, in addition to other economic factors. Revenue Recognition ------------------- Revenue on sales contracts for scanners is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. The Company manufactures its scanners under specific contracts that provide for progress payments. Production and installation take approximately six months. The percentage of completion is determined by the ratio of costs incurred to date on completed sub-assemblies to the total estimated cost for each scanner. Contract costs include material, direct labor and overhead. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, if any, are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The asset, "Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts", represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts", represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. Revenue on scanner service contracts are recognized on the straight-line method over the related contract period, usually one year. Revenue from sales of other items are recognized upon shipment.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Revenue Recognition (Continued) ------------------- Revenue under management and lease contracts is recognized based upon contractual agreements for management services rendered by the Company and leases of medical equipment under various long-term agreements with related medical providers (the "PC's"). The PC's are primarily owned by Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., President and Chairman of the Board of FONAR. The Company's agreements with the PC's stipulate fees for services rendered and equipment leased, are primarily calculated on activity based efforts at pre-determined rates per unit of activity. All fees are re-negotiable at the anniversary of the agreements and each year thereafter. Research and Development Costs ------------------------------ Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of materials and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses (either in research and development, marketing or production), are classified as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Certain software development costs are capitalized. See property and equipment and intangible assets (capitalized software development costs) sections of this note. Advertising Costs ----------------- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Income Taxes ------------ Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Product Warranty ---------------- The Company provides currently for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty provisions in effect at the time of installation (generally for one year). Customer Advances ----------------- Cash advances and progress payments received on sales orders are reflected as customer advances until such time as revenue recognition begins. F-18

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Per Share Data -------------- Net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. No effect has been given to options outstanding under the Company's Stock Option Plans as no material dilutive effect would result from the exercise of these items. During fiscal 1998, the Company retroactively adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), which requires companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. No adjustments were required as a result of this adoption. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash or cash equivalents. At June 30, 2000, the Company had cash deposits of approximately $12,161,117 in excess of federally insured limits. Restricted Cash --------------- At June 30, 2000 and 1999, $5,000,000 of cash has been pledged as collateral on an outstanding bank loan and has been classified as restricted cash on the accompanying balance sheet. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ----------------------------------- The financial statements include various estimated fair value information at June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". Such information, which pertains to the Company's financial instruments, is based on the requirements set forth in that Statement and does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value to the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) ----------------------------------- Accounts receivable and accounts payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Investment in sales-type leases and investments, advances and notes to affiliates and related parties: The carrying amount approximates fair value because the discounted present value of the cash flow generated by the related parties approximates the carrying value of the amounts due to the Company. Long-term debt and loans payable: The carrying amounts of debt and loans payable approximate fair value due to the length of the maturities, the interest rates being tied to market indices and/or due to the interest rates not being significantly different from the current market rates available to the Company. All of the Company's financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading. Stock-Based Compensation ------------------------ Effective for fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provides proforma net income and proforma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants, as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the proforma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. Comprehensive Income -------------------- In November 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"), was issued which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income in a full set of financial statements. SFAS No. 130 defines comprehensive income as changes in equity of a business enterprise during the periods presented, except for transactions resulting from investments by an owner and distribution to an owner. SFAS No. 130 does not require a company to present a statement of comprehensive income if no items are present. The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 during fiscal 1998. Computer Software ----------------- Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use", which revises the accounting for software development costs and requires the capitalization of certain costs. No adjustments were required as a result of this adoption. F-20

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Reclassifications ----------------- Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS Affordable Diagnostics, Inc. ---------------------------- On June 30, 1997, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary consummated the merger of the assets, liabilities and operations of Affordable Diagnostics, Inc. ("Affordable"), a New York corporation, which managed and operated three diagnostic imaging centers and managed one multi-specialty practice in the Bronx and Westchester, New York. The merger was consummated pursuant to a Merger Agreement ("Agreement") effective June 30, 1997, by and among HMCA's wholly-owned subsidiary, HMCM, Inc. ("HMCM"). Pursuant to the agreement, HMCM acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Affordable through the issuance of 1,764,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $3,630,312, and an additional 576,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued in June of 1998 valued at $923,442. The additional 576,000 shares were issued in connection with a one-year earnout provision, which was achieved during fiscal 1998. The merger was accounted for as a purchase, under which the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based upon fair values at the date of the merger. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired amounted to approximately $3,719,000 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of Affordable from the date of the acquisition (June 30, 1997). Concurrent with the above described transactions, HMCM entered into consulting agreements with the shareholders of Affordable. Under such agreements, 400,000 registered shares of FONAR's common stock, valued at $1,096,000, were issued pursuant to one year consulting agreements with HMCM. The entire $1,096,000 was charged to operations during the year ended June 30, 1998. Acquisition of RVDC ------------------- Effective June 30, 1997, FONAR's wholly-owned subsidiary, HMCA, acquired Raymond V. Damadian, M.D. MR Scanning Centers Management Company ("RVDC") and two affiliates, by purchasing all of the issued and outstanding shares of RVDC from Dr. Damadian for 10,000 shares of the common stock of FONAR. The business of RVDC, continued by HMCA, was the management of MRI diagnostics imaging centers in New York, Florida and Georgia. The Company has accounted for the acquisition in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interests method due to Dr. Damadian's control over both the Company and RVDC. F-21

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS (Continued) Central Health Care Management Service, Inc. ------------------------------------------- On January 23, 1998, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HMCA acquired the business and assets of Central Health Care Management Services, Inc. ("Central"), a management service organization ("MSO"), operating in Westchester County, New York. The purchase price was determined based on a multiple of the net positive cash flow from the acquired business over the succeeding twelve-month period. The purchase price was determined to be $1,454,160, $601,665 payable in cash, $551,665 payable in notes, assumption of liabilities aggregating $25,000, and the balance payable in shares of common stock of FONAR valued at $275,830. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, under which the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, based upon fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired amounted to $1,254,160 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of Central from the date of the acquisition (January 23, 1998).

Pursuant to the A&A agreements, HMCA acquired all of the common stock of A&A for $4,000,000 in cash, a note payable for $4,000,000 bearing interest at 6.0% per annum, payable in 16 equal quarterly installments of interest and principal, commencing March of 1999, a note payable for $1,293,000, bearing interest at 6.0% per annum, payable in 60 equal monthly installments of principal and interest, commencing April 20, 1998, a deferred payment obligation face amount of $2,000,000 and a contingent payment based on the acquired operations achieving certain earnings objectives over the five-year period following the acquisition date. The promissory notes are collateralized by all of the assets of the acquired operations and are guaranteed by FONAR. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, under which the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based upon fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired amounted to approximately $10,448,000 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.

(Continued) ------------------ Subject to the acquired business achieving certain earnings objectives over the five-year period following the date of acquisition, additional monies would be due to the sellers. The contingent additional purchase price is not determinable as of June 30, 2000 and, accordingly, has not been included in the allocated purchase price in light of the contingent nature of the arrangement. If the earnings objectives are ultimately achieved, the additional purchase price will be recorded as additional goodwill subject to amortization over the stated period. No additional payments were due under the earnout provision for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 5 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET (Continued) Collection by the Company of its accounts receivable may be impaired by the uncollectibility of 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 40%, 33% and 25%, respectively, of the PC's 2000, 1999 and 1998 net revenues 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. The Company takes all legally available steps, including legally prescribed arbitrations, to collect its receivables. Credit losses associated with the receivables are provided for in the consolidated financial statements and have historically been within management's expectations. Net revenues from the related PC's accounted for approximately 87%, 85% and 77% of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The Class C common stock was offered on a three-for-one basis to the holders of the Class B common stock. Although having greater voting power, each share of Class C common stock has only one-third of the rights of a share of Class B common stock to dividends and distributions. Class C common stock is convertible into shares of common stock on a three-for-one basis. During the year ended June 30, 1996, approximately 3.2 million shares of Class B common stock were converted to Class C common stock. Class A Non-Voting Preferred Stock ---------------------------------- On April 3, 1995, the shareholders ratified a proposal consisting of the creation of a new class of Class A non-voting preferred stock with special dividend rights and the declaration of a stock dividend on the Company's common stock consisting of one share of Class A non-voting preferred stock for every five shares of common stock. The stock dividend was payable to holders of common stock on October 20, 1995. Class A non-voting preferred stock issued pursuant to such stock dividend approximates 7.8 million shares. The Class A non-voting preferred stock is entitled to a special dividend equal to 3-1/4% of first $10 million, 4-1/2% of next $20 million and 5-1/2% on amount in excess of $30 million of the amount of any cash awards or settlements received by the Company in connection with the enforcement of five of the Company's patents in its patent lawsuits, less the revised special dividend payable on the common stock with respect to one of the Company's patents.

FONAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 NOTE 11 - CAPITAL STOCK (Continued) The Class A non-voting preferred stock participates on an equal per share basis with the common stock in any dividends declared and ranks equally with the common stock on distribution rights, liquidation rights and other rights and preferences (other than the voting rights). The above described features essentially enable the holders of the Class A non-voting preferred stock to share in the earnings potential of the Company on substantially the same basis as the common stock. Accordingly, the Company has classified the Class A non-voting preferred stock as a common stock equivalent. Earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding have been restated to reflect the Class A non-voting preferred stock dividend. Options ------- The Company has stock option plans which provide for the awarding of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants who may contribute to the success of the Company. The options granted vest either immediately or ratably over a period of time from the date of grant, typically three or four years, at a price determined by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors, generally the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The options must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant. Stock option share activity and weighted average exercise prices under these plans and grants for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were as follows: Weighted Average Number of Exercise Shares Price --------- -------- Outstanding, June 30, 1997 185,860 $ 4.62 Granted 556,200 2.99 Exercised (559,325) 2.98 Forfeited - - -------- ------ Outstanding, June 30, 1998 182,735 4.62 Granted 205,000 1.23 Exercised - - Forfeited - - -------- ------ Outstanding, June 30, 1999 387,735 4.62 Granted 413,000 1.52 Exercised (374,000) 1.15 Forfeited - - -------- ------ Outstanding, June 30, 2000 426,735 $ 2.83 ======== ====== Exercisable at: June 30, 1998 182,735 $ 4.62 June 30, 1999 387,735 $ 4.62 June 30, 2000 426,735 $ 2.83 F-30

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. Background. On April 7, 1989, at a time when the Company lacked both the financing and working capital to establish its own centers, Donna Damadian, the wife of Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., Chairman and President of the Company, purchased from FONAR a scanner for a purchase price of $1,508,000 (the price paid by FONAR's customers for like equipment). $1.2 million was paid in cash, providing a much needed cash infusion for the Company, and the balance was paid over time with interest pursuant to a promissory note of even date. The scanner was leased to Macon Magnetic Resonance Imaging, P.C., a Georgia professional corporation wholly-owned by, and of which Dr. Damadian is, the President. Thereafter, between 1990 and 1996, Raymond V. Damadian, M.D. MRI Scanning Centers Management Company, a Delaware corporation of which Dr. Damadian was the sole stockholder, director and President ("RVDC"), purchased and leased scanners from FONAR to establish a network of professional corporations operating MRI scanning centers ("Centers"), including the Macon Center, in New York, Florida, Georgia and other locations. Dr. Damadian was the owner, director and President of each of these professional corporations. RVDC provided the necessary management and the scanners to the Centers, although in certain situations, a Center would acquire the scanner directly from FONAR. ACQUISITION OF RVDC. Effective June 30, 1997, FONAR's wholly-owned subsidiary, Health Management Corporation of America ("HMCA"), formerly known as U.S. Health Management Corporation, acquired RVDC by purchasing all of the issued and outstanding shares of RVDC from Dr. Damadian for 10,000 shares of the Common Stock of FONAR. The transactions can be rescinded by Dr. Damadian, however, in the event of a change of control in FONAR or the bankruptcy of FONAR. There is no time limit on the right to rescind. In connection with the transaction, FONAR granted RVDC a nonexclusive royalty free license to FONAR's patents and software. These licenses may be terminated by FONAR in the event of the bankruptcy of RVDC or a change in control of RVDC. In connection with and immediately prior to the sale of RVDC to HMCA, certain leases and sales of scanners to RVDC were terminated. The scanners were then leased directly to the Centers at which they were installed pursuant to new scanner leases between HMCA and the Centers. NEW AGREEMENTS WITH HMCA. Effective July 1, 1997, immediately following the effective date of the acquisition of RVDC by HMCA, all previous management arrangements between RVDC and the Centers were terminated and new management agreements were entered into by the Centers and HMCA ("Management Agreements"). Pursuant to the Management Agreements, HMCA is providing comprehensive management and administrative services and office facilities, including billing and collection of accounts, payroll and accounts payable processing, supplies and utilities to the Centers. Under the Management Agreements, HMCA provides service through FONAR for the scanners at the Centers, eliminating the need for the Centers to have separate service agreements for their scanners. In total, 15 of the Centers previously managed by RVDC and three additional Centers opened after the acquisition, have Management Agreements with HMCA. With respect to the scanners at 9 of the 18 Centers, the lease or sales agreement between RVDC (or the Center in some cases) and FONAR were terminated. In substitution for the previous arrangements, HMCA, effective as of July 1, 1997, entered into new scanner leases ("Scanner Leases") with these Centers pursuant to which the scanners are provided to the Centers. The fees to HMCA under both the Management Agreements and the Scanner Leases are on a per scan basis. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 the net revenues received by HMCA from the Centers owned by Dr. Damadian were approximately $17.2 million. Effective December 1, 1993, one of the Centers, Albany Magnetic Resonance Imaging, P.C. (the "Albany Center"), a Georgia professional corporation of which Raymond V. Damadian is the sole shareholder, director and President, purchased the scanner being utilized at its site from the Company for a purchase price of $1,128,844, which in Fonar's opinion represented a fair market price based on sales of like equipment by Fonar to its customers. Of the purchase price, $574,077 was paid by the assumption and payment of the Company's indebtedness to the lender secured by the scanner. Such indebtedness to the lender was retired pursuant to a new equipment finance lease between the lender and the Albany Center, guaranteed by the Company, providing for 18 monthly payments of $35,000 each. Following payment of the lease, the remaining $554,767 of the purchase price due to the Company was required to be paid pursuant to a promissory note, with interest at 10% per annum, over an 18 month term (17 payments of $35,000 each and one final payment of $2,454.08). In June, 1997, the payment terms for the outstanding balance of $344,766 were restructured to provide for 60 equal monthly payments (including interest at the rate of 10% per annum) of $7,325.27 each commencing July, 1997. Effective December 1, 1993, Daytona Beach Magnetic Resonance Imaging, P.A. (the "Daytona Beach Center"), a Florida professional association of which Raymond V. Damadian is the sole shareholder, director and President, purchased the scanner being utilized at its site from the Company for a purchase price of $1,416,717, which in Fonar's opinion represented a fair market price based on sales of like equipment by Fonar to its customers. Of the purchase price, $328,044 was paid by the assumption and payment of the Company's indebtedness to the lender secured by the scanner. Such indebtedness to the lender was retired pursuant to a new equipment finance lease between the lender and the Daytona Beach Center, guaranteed by the Company, providing for 18 monthly payments of $20,000 each. The remaining $1,088,673 of the purchase price due to the Company was required to be paid pursuant to a promissory note, with interest at 10% per annum. In May, 1999, the payment terms for the outstanding balance of $1,001,507 were restructured to provide for 84 equal monthly payments (including interest at the rate of 10% per annum) of $16,626.20 each commencing May 1999. On June 30, 1994, Melville MRI, P.C. (the "Melville Center"), a New York professional corporation of which Raymond V. Damadian is the sole shareholder, director and President, purchased the scanner being utilized at its site from the Company for a purchase price of $1,011,431.12, which in Fonar's opinion represented a fair market price based on sales of like equipment by Fonar to its customers. Of the purchase price, $900,000 is to be paid by the assumption and payment of the Company's indebtedness to the lender secured by the scanner pursuant to a note bearing interest at 14% per annum and providing for 60 monthly payments of $20,700 each. The remaining $111,431.12 of the purchase price was to be paid concurrently with the payments to the lender. The payment terms for the principal balance, plus accrued interest (in the aggregate amount of $139,290) were restructured to provide for 60 equal monthly payments (including interest at the rate of 10% per annum) of $2,959.50 each commencing July, 1998. ACQUISITION OF THE AFFORDABLE COMPANIES. Effective June 30, 1997, HMCA acquired a group of several interrelated corporations, limited liability companies and a partnership engaged in managing three diagnostic imaging centers and one multi-specialty practice in New York State (the "Affordable Companies") pursuant to a series of transactions concluding with a merger between a wholly-owned subsidiary of HMCA and Affordable Diagnostics, Inc. Concurrently with the acquisition, Raymond V. Damadian purchased three New York professional corporations to which the Affordable Companies were providing their services under several agreements. Dr. Damadian is the sole stockholder, director and President of these professional corporations (the "Affordable Professional Corporations"). During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the net revenues from the Affordable Professional Corporations were approximately $2.8 million. ACQUISITION OF A & A SERVICES. Effective March 20, 1998, HMCA acquired A & A Services, Inc. ("A & A Services"), an MSO managing four primary care practices in Queens County, New York. Concurrently with the acquisition, Raymond V.

Robert Janoff, a director of the Company, is a limited partner in the partnership. The partnership is also party to a service agreement with the Company.
