ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company had net income of $1,522,000 ($0.32 per share) on medical services revenues of $37,172,000 in 1997. The Company had a net loss of $353,000 ($(0.08) per share) on medical services revenues of $36,989,000 in 1996. TOTAL REVENUES [Enlarge/Download Table] INCREASE INCREASE 1997 (DECREASE) 1996 (DECREASE) 1995 ------- ---------- ------- ---------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Medical Services............... $37,172 0.5% $36,989 8.6% $34,077 Medical services revenues increased 0.5% in 1997 compared to 1996, and increased 8.6% in 1996 compared to 1995. The 0.5% increase in 1997 and the 8.6% increase in 1996 compared to prior years were primarily due to increases in MRI revenues. MRI revenues increased 2% ($650,000) in 1997 compared to 1996 and increased 11% ($2,667,000) in 1996 compared to 1995. The increases in 1997 and 1996 were primarily due to the commencement of new customer contracts and increased utilization from contracts commenced in prior periods. MRI revenues as a percentage of total medical services revenues were 76%, 75% and 73% in years 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company's non-MRI diagnostic imaging services revenues decreased 19% ($1,176,000) in 1997 compared to 1996 after a 1% ($60,000) decrease in 1996 compared to 1995. The revenue decline in 1997, compared to 1996, was primarily attributable to decreased CT revenue which was due to utilization of two (2) fewer CT units in 1997, and decreased nuclear medicine revenue due to the termination of an in-house nuclear medicine contract in March 1997. Revenues from CT operations decreased $614,000 in 1997 and $26,000 in 1996 from 1995 revenues of $3,563,000. The decrease in Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound revenues was $562,000 in 1997 and $34,000 in 1996 from a 1995 revenue base of $2,782,000. Non-MRI diagnostic imaging services revenues as a percentage of total medical services revenues was 14%, 17% and 18% for the years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company's CT, Ultrasound, and Nuclear Medicine services revenues continue to decline because customers are increasingly buying their own equipment. Contract service revenues consisting of Respiratory Therapy services and Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory revenues increased $354,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and decreased $415,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. The increase in 1997 was primarily due to revenues from the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory contracts which commenced May 1996 and December 1996, respectively. The decrease in 1996 compared to 1995 resulted primarily from four terminated Respiratory Therapy service contracts in 1995. The Company currently has one Respiratory Therapy service contract. Gamma Knife revenues increased $354,000 and $705,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, compared to the prior years. The 1997 increase was primarily due to the commencement of a third Gamma Knife unit in September 1997. The increase in 1996 was a result of the inclusion of results of the Company's second Gamma Knife beginning in February 1996. COST OF OPERATIONS [Enlarge/Download Table] INCREASE INCREASE 1997 (DECREASE) 1996 (DECREASE) 1995 ------- ---------- ------- ---------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Cost of Operations, Exclusive of Write-Down of Equipment... $27,044 (3.7)% $28,071 (2.7)% $28,850 Percentage of Revenue.......... 72.8% 75.9% 84.7% Write-Down of Equipment........ $ 0 0% $ 0 (100.0)% $ 3,825 Percentage of Revenue.......... 0.0% 0.0% 11.2% 4

The Company's cost of operations, consisting of payroll, maintenance and supplies, depreciation and amortization, equipment rental and other operating expenses (such as vehicle fuel, building rents, regional office costs, insurance, property taxes, bad debt expense, fees and training expenses) decreased $1,027,000 in 1997 and $4,604,000 in 1996 compared to prior years. Medical services payroll costs, the largest component of total cost of operations, increased by $221,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and increased by $328,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. Medical services payroll costs as a percent of medical services remains constant at 20% in years 1997, 1996 and 1995. The 1997 and 1996 increase was primarily due to staffing increases to service additional MRI customer volumes and an increase in staffed units in 1997. The Company's maintenance and supplies costs were 16%, 18% and 20% of medical service revenues in 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively. Maintenance and supplies costs decreased $739,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and decreased $68,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. The decreases in 1997 and 1996 are primarily attributable to MRI maintenance cost savings. Depreciation and amortization decreased $233,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and $1,671,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. The decrease in 1997 was primarily attributable to decreased MRI and nuclear medicine depreciation as a result of fewer MRI units accounted for as capital leases in 1997. The decrease in 1996 is primarily attributable to the early adoption of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121) during the second quarter of 1995 as explained in detail below. In addition, the majority of capital leases were extended as of October 1, 1995 thereby extending the depreciable life of the asset (as leased assets are depreciated based on lease terms) and decreasing depreciation expense commencing the fourth quarter of 1995. Equipment rental as a percentage of medical services revenues was 7% in 1997, 9% in 1996 and 8% in 1995. Equipment rental decreased $763,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and increased $641,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. The decrease in 1997 is primarily attributable to the return of five (5) MRI rental units which resulted from mobile route consolidation and customer contract terminations. The increase in 1996 is primarily attributable to the utilization of short-term MRI and CT rentals to meet customer commitments. Other costs of operations as a percentage of medical services revenues was 12%, 11% and 12% in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase of $487,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 reflects increased fuel, personal property tax costs, insurance, and bad debt expenses. The decrease of $9,000 in 1996 compared to 1995 reflects a decrease in equipment and CON related costs and regional office administrative costs offset by increased fuel costs, MRI space rental costs and physician reading fees. In connection with the early adoption of the statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121) during the second quarter of 1995, management reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, goodwill and deferred costs. The Company initiated its review of potential loss impairment due to the continuing changes in the health care environment which have put downward pressure on customer and equipment pricing and reduced forecasted operating results for certain assets to a level below previous expectations. Following its review, management concluded that there was an impairment in the recorded value of fixed assets, goodwill and deferred costs under FAS 121 based on management's estimate of future undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining useful life of certain assets. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $4,425,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 1995 based on the differences between the fair value of such assets as determined by third parties and the recorded values. The impairment loss is comprised of a charge for the write-downs of equipment and deferred assets of $3,825,000 (primarily MRI, CT and Nuclear Medicine) and goodwill of $600,000. SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE [Enlarge/Download Table] INCREASE INCREASE 1997 (DECREASE) 1996 (DECREASE) 1995 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------ (IN THOUSANDS) Selling and Administrative Costs........................... $5,901 11.2% $5,309 (37.0)% $8,432 Percentage of Revenue............. 15.9% 14.4% 24.7% 5

The Company's selling and administrative costs increased $592,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and decreased $3,123,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. The increase in 1997 was primarily due to increased sales and administrative payroll costs, building rental costs, audit and tax fees and legal fees associated with a proposed acquisition of the Company which was not consummated. The decrease in 1996 is primarily attributable to a 1995 stock compensation expense totaling $2,679,000 which is comprised of shares and options issued to the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ernest A. Bates, M.D. Salary and wage expense was charged $265,000 in the second quarter of 1995 for the issuance of 184,000 Common Shares to Dr. Bates for his continued services to the Company and his personal guarantee of $6,500,000 of indebtedness of the Company. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 1995, a charge to salary and wage expense of $2,414,000 was recorded in connection with the grant to Dr. Bates, following shareholder approval, of an option to acquire 1,495,000 additional Common Shares for $0.01 per share as further consideration for his continued service to the Company and his personal guarantee of $6,500,000 of the Company's new credit facilities. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources." The decrease in 1996 was also related to reduced legal and insurance costs. INTEREST EXPENSE [Enlarge/Download Table] INCREASE INCREASE 1997 (DECREASE) 1996 (DECREASE) 1995 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------ (IN THOUSANDS) Interest Expense.................. $3,671 (12.6)% $4,199 (20.9)% $5,310 Percentage of Revenue............. 9.9% 11.4% 15.6% The Company's interest expense decreased $528,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and $1,111,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. The decreases in 1997 and 1996 are primarily attributable to a lower outstanding amount of interest bearing debt due to the repurchase by the Company on May 17, 1995 of $17,964,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Subordinated Notes, the exchange for common shares ($413,000 aggregate principal amount) and payment at maturity ($360,000 aggregate principal amount) of its Senior Subordinated Notes in the third and fourth quarters of 1996, respectively, and decreased capitalized lease-related interest. WRITE-DOWN OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS [Enlarge/Download Table] INCREASE INCREASE 1997 (DECREASE) 1996 (DECREASE) 1995 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------ (IN THOUSANDS) Write-down of Intangible Assets... 0 0.0% $ 0 (100)% $ 600 Percentage of Revenue............. 0.0% 0.0% 1.8% The Company's write-down of intangible assets decreased $600,000 in 1996 as compared to 1995. The decrease in 1996 compared to 1995 is solely attributable to the early adoption of FAS 121 in the second quarter of 1995. See "Cost of Operations" above. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 Some of the Company's older computer programs were written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As a result, those computer programs have time-sensitive software that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could cause a system failure or miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. The Company has completed an assessment and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The total Year 2000 project cost has not been estimated, but is not expected to be material. The Company believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company. 6

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE [Download Table] INCREASE INCREASE 1997 (DECREASE) 1996 (DECREASE) 1995 ---- ---------- -------------- ---------- ---- (IN THOUSANDS) Gain on Sale of Assets and Early Termination of Capital Leases....................... $821 27,267% $ 3 (98.7)% $226 Percentage of Revenue.......... 2.2% 0.0% 0.7% Interest and Other Income...... $155 (31.7)% $227 (12.0)% $258 Percentage of Revenue.......... 0.4% 0.6% 0.8% The Company's gain on sale of assets and early termination of capital leases increased $818,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and decreased $223,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. The increase in 1997 was the result of a gain on the early termination of a capital lease ($141,000) when the customer's in-house nuclear medicine contract was terminated during March 1997, an insurance settlement ($388,000) following the loss of a mobile MRI unit in an accident during second quarter 1997, a gain on sale of another MRI unit ($140,000) during third quarter 1997 and a gain on sale of a mobile SPECT unit ($115,000) in the fourth quarter of 1997. Gain on sale of equipment fluctuates depending on the timing of asset dispositions. The Company continues to sell non-essential assets in the normal course of business. NET INCOME (LOSS) [Enlarge/Download Table] INCREASE INCREASE 1997 (DECREASE) 1996 (DECREASE) 1995 ------ ---------- ------ ---------- -------- (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) Income (loss) Before Income Taxes and Extraordinary Item.......................... $1,532 525.6% $ (360) (97.1)% $(12,456) Percentage of Revenue........... 4.1% (1.0)% (36.6)% Income (loss) per Share......... $ 0.32 500.0% $(0.08) (97.3)% $ (2.96) Extraordinary Item.............. $ 0 0.0% $ 0 (100.0)% $ 19,803 Extraordinary Item, per Share... $ 0.00 0.00% $ 0.00 (100.0)% $ 4.71 Net Income (loss)............... $1,522 531.2% $ (353) (104.8)% $ 7,344 Net Income (loss) per Share..... $ 0.32 500.0% $(0.08) (104.6)% $ 1.75 The Company had net income of $1,522,000 in 1997 compared to a net loss of $353,000 for 1996. Net income for 1997 resulted in part from increased operating margins and in part from gains from early termination of capital leases and sale of assets. The Company had a net loss of $353,000 for 1996 compared to net income of $7,344,000 for 1995. The Company's net income for 1995 included an extraordinary gain of $19,803,000 from its debt restructuring recorded on May 17, 1995. The gain resulted from the purchase of $17,694,000 aggregate face amount plus $8,853,000 of accrued and unpaid interest of the Company's 14 3/4% and 16 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due October 15, 1996 net of cash, Common Shares and warrants to purchase Common Shares issued and transaction related costs of $3,893,000, $1,836,000 and $1,015,000, respectively. Included in the Company's 1995 results was a charge of $4,425,000 due to adoption of FAS 121 and stock compensation expense of $2,679,000 (see "Selling and Administrative"). The Company's net income (loss) for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was enhanced by $526,000, $0, and $2,567,000, respectively, due to the realization of deferred tax assets in conformity with FAS 109. The Company has maintained a valuation allowance completely off-setting its deferred tax assets based on Management's evaluation of the realizability of these deferred tax assets based on FAS 109. At the end of 1996 and 1997, the Company had deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $9,600,000 and $8,000,000. These valuation allowances were established after weighing the potential effect of negative and positive evidence regarding the realizability of the Company's deferred tax assets. The Company's prior history of net operating losses was given significant weight, as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. The Company did not consider the gain which would be recognized in connection with the 7
10-K/A8th Page of 50TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
transaction with Alliance Imaging, Inc. (discussed below) because of the lack of assurance that the transaction will be consummated. Reductions in previously established valuation allowances increased reported earnings by $2,660,000 in 1995, $300,000 in 1996 and $1,600,000 in 1997. The reduction in 1995 resulted from the recognition of financial statement income, adjusted for permanent differences, of $7,600,000. The decreases in 1996 and 1997 resulted in part from the recognition of financial statement losses, adjusted for permanent differences, of $66,000 in 1996 and the recognition of financial statement income, adjusted for permanent differences, of $1,760,000 in 1997. Virtually all of the additional decrease in 1996 resulted from decreases in the carrying amount of net operating loss carryover. Additional decreases in 1997 resulted from decreases in the carrying amount of deferred tax assets for carryovers, fixed assets, and other items because of decreases in the amount of net operating loss carryover and decreases in the tax attributes associated with fixed assets and other items during 1997. The decreases in the carrying amounts of net operating losses and tax attributes associated with fixed assets and other items in 1996 and 1997 were made because it was determined that the tax carrying amounts for those carryovers and attributes were overstated. The effects of these additional decreases were $194,000, $500,000 and $290,000 respectively. In the event that the proposed sale transaction (see Part I, Item 1 "Business -- General -- Recent Developments") is consummated, the Company anticipates that it will fully realize its deferred tax assets. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17,000 at December 31, 1997 compared to $368,000 at December 31, 1996. The Company's cash position decreased $351,000 due primarily to the Company's debt payment requirements and working capital needs. Restricted cash of $651,000 and $218,000 at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, reflects cash that may only be used for the operations of GK Financing, LLC. The increase in restricted cash is due to cash flow from Gamma Knife operations. On May 17, 1995, the Company repurchased (the "Notes Repurchase") for cash and securities approximately 96% of its outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes ("Subordinated Notes"). The Notes Repurchase, together with a December 1994 lease restructuring and the availability of up to $8,000,000 of new debt financing, concluded a broad restructuring of the Company's obligations as more fully explained in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K. On December 29, 1995 and March 1, 1996, the Company further restructured certain of its medical equipment leases and related notes (the "GE Notes") to extend the terms of the leases for periods of up to an additional 26 months, to defer certain monthly lease payments and to defer certain installment payments due at the beginning of 1996. This further restructuring resulted in payment reductions of approximately $1,200,000 for the Company in 1996 and subsequent years. The various restructuring transactions described above cured all of the Company's then-outstanding defaults relating to its debt and lease obligations. The Company nevertheless remains highly leveraged and has significant cash payment requirements under its equipment leases and credit facilities. Scheduled equipment capital lease payments and operating lease payments during the 12 months ending December 31, 1998 are $7,487,000 and $2,551,000, respectively, with related maintenance commitments of approximately $1,916,000. Scheduled interest and principal payments under the Company's other debt obligations during such period are approximately $4,855,000 which excludes the Company's revolving line of credit balance of $5,438,000 at December 31, 1997 ($5,207,000 at February 28, 1998) whose maturity has been extended to May 31, 1999. Although the Company's operating performance has improved, the Company is uncertain it will have the cash resources to pay all of its obligations when they are due. Accordingly, the Company will continue its program of expense reductions, revenue enhancements and asset sales as well as refinancing or renegotiating the terms of its fixed obligations ("Program"). The Company's ability to meet its obligations when due are dependent upon the success of the Company's Program. Any inability of the Company to meet its obligations when due would result in a default which could permit the relevant obligor to accelerate the obligations and seek other remedies including seizure of the Company's medical imaging equipment. In such event, the Company would 8
10-K/A9th Page of 50TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
be forced to seek a liquidation under Chapter 7 or a reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As part of the Program, the Company in March 1996 sold its Modesto buildings for $650,000 in cash, and negotiated an increase in its working capital line of credit to $5,500,000 and extended its maturity date by two years to May 31, 1999. The Company also completed in August 1996 an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") for $413,000 aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes. The purpose of the Exchange Offer was to improve the Company's capital structure and relieve the Company of the requirement to pay $836,000 of principal and interest in October, 1996 when the Subordinated Notes were to mature. In the Exchange Offer, the Company issued approximately 287,000 additional shares of Common Stock for $413,000 principal amount of Subordinated Notes. The remaining $360,000 of the Subordinated Notes was paid at maturity on October 16, 1996. In the long term, the Company believes that it must respond to fundamental changes in the industry. The medical diagnostic imaging business, both mobile and fixed, is in a period of consolidation as a result of the growth of managed care and other competitive forces. Smaller companies, such as the Company, must either grow through acquisitions or become part of larger enterprises in order to compete successfully and achieve acceptable returns for their shareholders. In light of the unavailability of capital to the Company and continuing weakness in the price of its common stock, the Company has been willing to entertain acquisition offers. In late 1996 and early 1997, the Company unsuccessfully pursued a merger with a larger industry participant. In late 1997, the Company was approached by Alliance Imaging, Inc., another major industry participant, with respect to a sale of the Company's medical diagnostic imaging business. On March 12, 1998, the Company and Alliance entered into an agreement under which the Company would sell its medical diagnostic imaging assets to Alliance for consideration consisting of cash and the assumption of related liabilities. See Part I, Item 1 "Business -- General -- Recent Developments". The Company accepted the proposed transaction in response to the industry trend toward consolidation, the increasingly difficult competitive environment for smaller participants, such as the Company, and to provide capital for the expansion of the Company's radiosurgery services business. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. If the transaction is not consummated, the Company will be required to continue to operate as an independent entity, and to face the serious liquidity and other problems referred to above. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The Company does not believe inflation has had a significant impact on operations, because most of its customer contracts include a cost of living price adjustment provision, which the Company believes will be sufficient to offset the impact of any future inflation on the Company's costs of operation.

[ERNST & YOUNG LLP LETTERHEAD] Report of Independent Auditors The Board of Directors and Stockholders American Shared Hospital Services We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Shared Hospital Services as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (net capital deficiency), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14 (a). These financial statements and the schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Shared Hospital Services at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that American Shared Hospital Services will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company incurred operating losses in 1996 and 1995 and has a significant working capital deficiency and a net capital deficiency at December 31, 1997. In addition, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet debt obligations maturing in 1998. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1, including a discussion of the proposed sale of certain significant assets subsequent to December 31, 1997. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, in 1995, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Walnut Creek, California February 27, 1998 Ernst & Young LLP is a member of Ernst & Young International, LTD.

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION BUSINESS American Shared Hospital Services (the "Company") provides shared diagnostic imaging services to health care providers located in approximately 22 states in various geographic regions of the United States. The four diagnostic imaging services provided by the Company are Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Axial Tomography Scanning, Ultrasound, and Nuclear Medicine. In addition, the Company provides Gamma Knife units to three medical centers. The Company also provides Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and Respiratory Therapy services. In June 1995, African American Church Health and Economic Services, Inc. ("ACHES") and ACHES Insurance Services, Inc. ("AIS") were incorporated. AIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of ACHES. AIS is an insurance agency qualified to sell life, health, and disability insurance in the states of California and New York. ACHES through AIS sells life, health and disability insurance primarily to the African-American Community. On October 17, 1995, the Company (through American Shared Radiosurgery Services ("ASRS")) and Elekta AB, the manufacturer of the Gamma Knife (through its wholly owned United States subsidiary GKV Investments, Inc. ("GKV")), entered into an operating agreement which formed GK Financing, LLC ("GKF"). GKF provides alternative financing of Elekta Gamma Knife units in the United States and Brazil. GKF is the preferred provider for Elekta AB of financing arrangements, such as fee-for-service lease arrangements with health care institutions in the United States and Brazil. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, CuraCare, Inc. ("CuraCare"), MMRI, Inc., European Shared Medical Services Ltd., ACHES, AIS and its majority-owned subsidiary, GK Financing, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 8

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) BUSINESS (CONTINUED) The Company faces severe competition from other providers of diagnostic imaging services, some of which have greater financial resources than the Company, and from equipment manufacturers, hospitals, imaging centers and physician groups owning in-house diagnostic units. Significant competitive factors in the diagnostic services market include equipment price and availability, performance quality, ability to upgrade equipment performance and software, service and reliability. The Company's current financial problems may adversely affect its ability to obtain and retain certain profitable customer contracts, and its current high debt burden may affect its ability to offer technologically advanced equipment in the future. Due to the Company's financial condition, the two stock exchanges which list the Company's stock are continuing to monitor the Company's financial condition to determine whether the Company's common shares will remain listed. The Company is currently negotiating the sale of a significant amount of its operating assets. (See Note 14 Subsequent Event.) The Company leases substantially all of its medical equipment from one primary provider. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company has reported net income of $1,522,000 in 1997, and net losses before extraordinary items of $353,000, and $12,459,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. At December 31, 1997, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $8,039,000 and a net capital deficiency of $8,953,000. In addition, the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to repay its debt obligations at maturity and will be required to seek new financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or that the terms of any such financing will be acceptable to the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. 9

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) Management's plans with regard to these operating issues include the following: continue to implement its program of expense reductions; identify and sell non-essential assets; negotiate favorable concessions from major creditors and enhance revenues by increasing customer contracts and equipment utilization. It is uncertain as to whether these events will occur, and if they do, the extent to which they will address the Company's operating issues. The Company is currently negotiating the sale of a significant amount of its operating assets. (See Note 14 - Subsequent Event.) 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in depository institutions which offer varying levels of federal insurance. Restricted cash is not considered a cash and cash equivalent for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows. RESTRICTED CASH Restricted cash represents cash limited as to use by a contractual arrangement. Restricted cash at December 31, 1997 and 1996 reflects cash that may only be used for the operations of GK Financing, LLC. 10

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) REVENUES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Revenue is recognized on a fee-for-service basis when the service is delivered. Trade accounts receivable are principally from hospitals and other health care providers located throughout the U.S., with no one customer providing a significant percent of revenues. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses. A substantial portion of the Company's receivables collateralize its credit facilities (see Note 6). ACCOUNTING FOR MAJORITY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY The Company accounts for GK Financing, LLC, as a consolidated entity due to its 81% majority-equity interest. The minority interest's 19% share of earnings (loss) is netted against "Interest and Other Income" in the consolidated statements of operations. INVENTORIES Inventories, which consist of minor medical equipment and supplies used in the Company's business, are valued at the lower of cost or market, using a valuation method which approximates FIFO (first-in, first-out). PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT In 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (see Note 3). As a result of such adoption, property and equipment are stated at cost, or the estimated fair value as determined by third parties, if less. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which for medical and transportation equipment is generally 2 - 10 years. Capitalized leased equipment consists primarily of mobile Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI") units, which include scanners and mobile vans. Capitalized leased equipment is amortized over the term of the lease, which ranges from 24 to 96 months. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life. 11

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets represent the excess of cost of net assets acquired as the result of the acquisition of businesses and are being amortized by the straight-line method over 15 years. The Company annually assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the intangible balance (for each business acquisition) over its remaining life can be recovered through forecasted future operations using an undiscounted cash flow methodology. INCOME TAXES The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. EARNINGS PER SHARE In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share." SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS 128 requirements. Basic earnings per share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The Company incurred a net loss for 1996 and 1995, therefore, the incremental shares that arise as a result of the stock options and warrants outstanding are anti-dilutive as they reduce the loss per share. 12

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options granted to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company believes that adoption of SFAS 130 will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. SEGMENT INFORMATION In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 131 will change the way companies report selected segment information in annual financial statements and also requires those companies to report selected segment information in interim financial reports to stockholders. SFAS 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company believes that the application of the new rules will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 14

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS An estimate of the fair value of the Company's long-term debt would require the use of a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Management believes that the Company's creditors entered into the borrowing arrangements as a result of the personal guarantees of an officer of the Company and believes that the Company would be unable to obtain similar financing given this fact and the current state of its financial matters. Accordingly, management is unable, without incurring excessive costs, to estimate its incremental borrowing rate, and considers estimation of fair value to be impracticable. The fair value of all other financial instruments approximate its recorded values. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 3. ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF" In connection with the adoption of statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), during the second quarter of 1995, management reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, goodwill and deferred costs based on the life of the assets. The Company initiated its review of potential loss impairment due to the continuing changes in the health care environment, which have put downward pressure on customer and equipment pricing. These changes have resulted in recent operating results and revised future forecasted operating results for certain assets being less than previously planned. This situation led to the conclusion that there was a potential impairment in the recorded value of fixed assets, goodwill and deferred costs. Management's estimate of future undiscounted cash flows over the useful life of certain assets was determined to be less than their recorded values, indicating impairment of these assets under the provisions of SFAS 121. An impairment loss of $4,425,000 was recorded as of the second quarter of 1995 based on the differences between the fair value, as determined by third parties, and the recorded values of certain assets. The impairment loss is comprised of write-downs of equipment of $3,825,000 (primarily MRI, CT, nuclear medicine, and deferred assets), and a write-down of goodwill of $600,000. No such impairment loss adjustment was required in 1997 or 1996. 15

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES During 1996 and 1995, the Company repurchased certain of its Senior Subordinated Notes resulting in extraordinary gains of $0 and $19,803,000, respectively. The extraordinary gain in 1995 was the result of a debt restructuring agreement with four holders of $17,694,000 face value of its Senior Subordinated Notes. On May 17, 1995, these Senior Subordinated Noteholders ("ex-Noteholders") received approximately $3,900,000 in cash, plus 819,000 shares of common stock and warrants for an additional 216,000 shares of common stock. As a result of the additional options awarded to an officer of the Company, the ex-Noteholders were granted 374,000 additional common shares and 98,000 additional warrants to purchase common shares, to maintain their ownership interest at approximately 25% of the then fully diluted common shares. The warrants are immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share. The remaining Senior Subordinated Noteholders held $773,000 of the notes as of December 31, 1995. In addition, the debt covenants were amended which thereby cured the events of default on the Senior Subordinated Notes. During 1996, the Company extended an exchange offer for the remaining $773,000 of Senior Subordinated Notes for common stock. On August 30, 1996, the Company exchanged $413,000 of its Senior Subordinated Notes, and the interest accrued thereon, for 287,000 shares of common stock valued at $430,000, using the market price on the date of exchange. The remaining $360,000 of the Senior Subordinated Notes, and the accrued interest thereon, was settled by the Company in cash on October 15, 1996, the stated maturity date of the Senior Subordinated Notes. 16

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 6. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) Annual contracted maturities under the initial terms of long-term debt for the five years after December 31, 1997 are as follows: $4,784,000 in 1998, $8,136,000 in 1999, $1,325,000 in 2000, $1,181,000 in 2001, $519,000 in 2002 and $775,000 thereafter. The Company is severely limited by covenants in its credit agreements which limit the Company's ability to merge with any other entity, to create subsidiaries, to pay cash dividends, to repurchase stock for cash, incur additional indebtedness, or to change the status of the equipment acting as collateral in such a way as to impair its value. In addition, the Company has pledged substantially all of its liquid assets and substantially all of its personal property to secure its existing debt. Notes Issued in Conjunction with Lease Restructuring The Company converted $481,000 of unpaid use taxes into a note payable to its primary provider of medical equipment. The note bears interest at 10.5% payable in 60 monthly payments beginning February 1, 1995. On December 23, 1996, the Company also converted past due service payments into a $1,632,000 promissory note with its primary provider of medical equipment. The note matures in January 2002 and bears interest at an annual rate of 10.75%. The note is unsecured. The Company also converted $147,000 of unpaid property taxes into a promissory note payable to its primary provider of medical equipment. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 10.75%, payable in 36 consecutive monthly installments with the remaining balance due in January 2000. 19

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 6. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) Borrowings for Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes The repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes Repurchase") was completed with the proceeds of three new credit facilities: a new revolving line of credit (the "Revolver"), a term loan, and a Gamma Knife Loan. Under the Revolver, the Company has available up to $5,500,000 according to a formula based on eligible accounts receivable. The Revolver provides for interest payments only (computed at the Bank of America prime rate plus 3.75%, 12.25% at December 31, 1997) until maturity on May 31, 1999, when all amounts are due and payable. The initial proceeds of $3,000,000 drawn under the Revolver were used primarily to fund the cash consideration in the Notes Repurchase. At December 31, 1997, the Company had drawn $5,438,000 under the Revolver and, based on eligible accounts receivable, had an additional $62,000 available under the facility. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company's cash receipts are processed through bank accounts controlled by the lender and the lender has a first priority lien on all of the Company's accounts receivable, certain equipment, inventory and general intangibles. The Revolver is personally guaranteed by an officer of the Company. The Company also entered into a $2,500,000 four-year loan agreement that will amortize in 48 equal installments with interest at an annual rate of 15% (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan is secured by a first priority lien on certain equipment, inventory and certain real property of the Company and a second priority lien on the Company's accounts receivable and general intangibles. In addition to funding the repurchase of the Subordinated Notes, the proceeds of the Term Loan were applied to the refinancing of certain medical imaging equipment and to provide working capital to the Company. The Term Loan is also guaranteed by an officer of the Company. The Company also entered into a $1,500,000 loan at an interest rate of 10.5% (the "Gamma Knife Loan"). The proceeds of the Gamma Knife Loan were used to refinance the Company's first Gamma Knife, to fund in part the Notes Repurchase, and to provide working capital. The Gamma Knife Loan is collateralized with a first priority security interest in one of the Gamma Knife units owned by the Company. The payments on this loan were restructured from $90,431 per month to $40,203 per month effective September 17, 1995, and to extend the loan term to September 17, 1998, to match renegotiated terms of the underlying customer contract. 20

A substantial part of this carryforward is subject to separate return limitations. The company has state carryforwards of varying amounts. The Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets may be limited in the event of a 50% or more ownership change within any three-year period. Approximately $16,000,000 of net operating loss carryforwards were used to offset the gain on early extinguishment of the Senior Subordinated Notes in May 1995. (See Note 6 - Long-Term Debt.) 22

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 1984 Stock Option Plan Under the Company's 1984 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), as amended, a total of 475,000 stock options were authorized for grant. The Plan terminated according to its terms on March 1, 1994. Options granted pursuant to the Plan generally had lives of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to earlier expiration in certain cases, such as termination of the grantee's employment. On August 15, 1995, the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors approved the amendment of the terms of substantially all options outstanding under the Company's 1984 Stock Option Plan, covering an aggregate of approximately 165,000 shares, to reduce the initial exercise price to $1.625 per share, which was the closing price of common shares on such date. 1995 Stock Option Plan The Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan, providing for nonqualified stock options and "incentive stock options," was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on August 15, 1995, subject to shareholder approval, which was given on October 6, 1995. Under the 1995 Plan, 330,000 common shares are reserved for awards to officers and other key employees, non-employee directors, and advisors. Provisions of the 1995 Stock Option Plan include an automatic grant to each non-employee director of up to 4,000 shares annually on the date of the Company's Annual Shareholder Meeting, at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common shares on that date, until the non-employee director has options for a total of 12,000 shares of the Company's common stock in all Company plans. Directors who are appointed or elected to the Company's Board of Directors on a date other than that of the Annual Shareholder Meeting receive a pro-rata grant of such shares, at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant. Grants of options for 19,000 shares were made pursuant to this provision during 1995. 23

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) Pro Forma Information related to Option Grants Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123 for awards granted after December 31, 1995, as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based awards to employees under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes options valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock-based awards to employees have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees. The fair value of the Company's option grants under the 1984 and 1996 Plans was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions: [Download Table] 1997 1996 ----------- ---------- Expected life (years) 9.5 9.5 Expected volatility 93.8% 99.3% Risk-free interest rate 6.3% 7.9% The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 1997 was $1.50. For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of the Company's options is amortized over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows: [Download Table] 1997 1996 ------------- ------------- Net income (loss) As reported $ 1,522,000 $ (353,000) Pro forma 1,458,000 (387,000) Net income (loss) per share As reported .24 (0.08) Pro forma .23 (0.06) Because SFAS 123 is applicable only to awards granted subsequent to December 31, 1995, its pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until approximately 1999. 26

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) 1995-1996 Director Retainer Shares On February 16, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors agreed that non-employee directors could elect to receive some or all of their $5,000 annual Directors' Retainer Fees for 1995 and/or 1996 in shares of the Company's common stock, instead of in cash, at the rate of $1.6875 per share, which was the closing price of the Company's common stock on that date. A total of 13,047 shares was issued during 1996 for that purpose. The remaining Director Retainer Fees due to non-employee directors for 1995 and/or 1996 were paid in cash during 1996. Warrants Issued in Conjunction with Lease Restructuring In 1995 and 1996, as consideration for the financial accommodations granted in the restructuring of the Company's lease obligations, the Company issued immediately exercisable warrants to its primary provider of leased equipment, granting the right to purchase 97,853 and 127,147 common shares, respectively, at a price of $.01 per share. The Company recorded the transactions as a reduction of the debt payable to its primary provider, and of the extraordinary gain on the notes repurchase, and adjusted common stock and additional paid-in capital by the appraised value of the warrants. In 1996, these warrants were exercised to purchase 225,000 common shares. Options and Warrants Issued in Conjunction with Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes On May 17, 1995, simultaneous with the Notes repurchase (Note 5), the Company issued 819,000 common shares (equal to approximately 20% of the Company's then fully diluted common shares) and warrants to purchase 216,000 shares of common stock (equal to approximately 5% of the then fully diluted common shares) to the holders of $17,694,000 face value of the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes that were repurchased. The warrants are immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share, expiring on May 17, 2002. As a result of the additional options awarded to an officer of the Company, the ex-Noteholders were granted 374,000 additional common shares and 98,000 additional warrants to purchase common shares, to maintain their ownership interest at approximately 25% of the then fully diluted common shares. The warrants are immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share, expiring on May 17, 2002. Capital shares reserved for future issuances total 2,951,000 shares at December 31, 1997. 27

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 9. RETIREMENT PLAN The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan for which substantially all full-time employees are eligible. Under the terms of the plan, the Company may contribute a discretionary matching contribution on behalf of each participant, determined each year by the Company, equal to a percentage of each participant's contributions and applicable to the first 6% of each participant's salary. The Company made no contributions to the plan in 1997, 1996 or 1995. 10. OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES The Company leases MRI units and other equipment under capital leases having an aggregate net book value of $12,284,000 at December 31, 1997. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included with depreciation expense, and is primarily amortized over the life of the lease. On December 30, 1994 (effective as of November 1, 1994 for most leases that were considered capital prior to that date, and January 1, 1994 for leases that were considered operating prior to that date) and at the end of 1995 and certain leases again in early 1996, the Company and its major provider of medical equipment entered into a restructuring of the obligations of the Company under lease agreements. Substantially all capital leases of the Company have been restructured and after restructuring continued to meet the criteria to be accounted for as capitalized leases. Under these modified leases, required payments by the Company are scheduled to retire the unpaid principal balance over the extended lease terms which will expire on various dates through December 31, 1999. All the operating leases covered by the restructuring agreement in effect on October 31, 1994 were modified to extend the payment schedules. As a result of modification of lease terms, these leases met the criteria for capitalization, and were accounted for as capital leases in the accompanying financial statements. Under all the modified leases, the Company is entitled to purchase the equipment at its fair market value, or to extend the relevant lease, at the end of the lease term. The modified leases, as identified above, were further restructured effective October 1, 1995. No payments were required for the months of October through December 1995. During these months, interest was accrued and was added to the outstanding principal balance of the capital leases. In addition, the leases were extended up to an additional 26 months, where possible, to coincide with the probable termination of the Company's end-user contracts. After this restructuring, the modified leases continue to meet the criteria to be accounted for as capitalized leases. Under all the modified leases, the Company will be entitled to purchase the equipment at its fair value or to extend the relevant lease at the end of the lease term. 28

American Shared Hospital Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 10. OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES (CONTINUED) On March 1, 1996, the Company received an offer from its primary provider of medical equipment to restructure certain of its capital lease obligations. The general terms of the restructuring provide for various months of no payments in 1996 followed by increased payments in the latter part of the agreements. The Company completed this restructuring on March 8, 1996. Future minimum lease payments, together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments under capital leases at December 31, 1997, are summarized as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] NPV OF MAINTENANCE MINIMUM AND OTHER LEASE LEASE LEASE RELATED PAYMENT PAYMENTS COSTS TOTAL ------------- ------------- ------------ 1998 $ 7,487,000 $ 1,916,000 $ 9,403,000 1999 6,157,000 1,580,000 7,737,000 2000 3,261,000 653,000 3,914,000 2001 917,000 158,000 1,075,000 2002 442,000 46,000 488,000 Thereafter 226,000 16,000 242,000 ------------- ------------- ------------ Total 18,490,000 $ 4,369,000 $ 22,859,000 ============= ============ Less amounts representing interest 2,712,000 ------------- Present value of net minimum lease payments 15,778,000 Less current portion 6,145,000 ------------- $ 9,633,000 ============= As shown above, in addition to the capital lease payments, the Company is also required to make maintenance and other executory cost lease related payments. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company financed approximately $1,049,000, $7,263,000, and $1,342,000, respectively, of equipment purchases with capital lease obligations. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company incurred interest costs of $3,671,000, $4,199,000, and $5,310,000, respectively. The deferred gain on early lease termination of $296,000 included on the balance sheet as of December 31, 1997, reflects gains on a lease which was terminated in 1997 for which the lessor agreed to waive the obligations under that lease contingent upon the Company entering into two new leases with the lessor. The deferred gain on the lease termination will be amortized over the terms of the two new leases, which commence in the second quarter of 1998. 29
