Management Discussion
Raymond V. Damadian, president and chairman of Fonar Corporation said, "Over the past year and a half we have accomplished much. We acquired a business which allowed us to roughly double our size and successfully merged the companies allowing us to share capabilities and administrative and technical expertise. This gave us a synergy of joint marketing strategies, and many other economies of scale."
"Overall," said Dr. Damadian, "we have mitigated the increased pressure due to cuts in MRI reimbursements brought about by the Affordable Care Act. This was because of the adherence to our ongoing business plan which has made the difference."
"Perhaps, we can give some credit to the uniqueness and practicality of our UPRIGHT® full weight-loaded MRI scanner, which is immensely popular with both physician and patient. As Fonar''s customer, Medserena, pointed out on their purchase of their fifth scanner for Germany, ''a large number of requests for the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI are coming from physicians in Germany because of the special medical need for FONAR''s unique technology. This is in spite of an intensely active MRI market in Germany where there are already many conventional lie-down MRIs installed.'' Our German customer''s comments on the benefits of the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI technology are consistent with the success of our FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI scanners in the American MRI marketplace," said Dr. Damadian. "The treating physician in Germany quickly experiences the same result the treating physician in America experiences: A "BETTER PATIENT OUTCOME" for his patient."
The more accurate diagnosis available from the fully weight-loaded Multi-Position™ MRI provided by the FONAR UPRIGHT® as compared to the conventional weightless recumbent-only MRI examination enables a more complete and accurate diagnosis of the spine, which constitutes up to 60% of all MRI examinations, thereby optimizing the specific surgical or medical treatment selected for the patient. Since the PATIENT OUTCOME is the doctor''s number one PRIORITY for his patient," said Dr. Damadian, "he quickly learns from firsthand experience that the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI and its power to "SEE IT ALL" becomes indispensable towards his ultimate objective of optimizing the TREATMENT OUTCOMES OF HIS PATIENTS."
Dr. Damadian concluded: "During this quarter our MRI scanner product revenues increased and recently we reported sales to the UAE, Alaska, and Germany. Accordingly, I am optimistic about future sales of our UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI scanner."
FONAR (NASDAQ: FONR), Melville, NY, The Inventor of MR Scanning™, was incorporated in 1978, and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI company in the industry. FONAR introduced the world''s first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. Since its inception, nearly 300 recumbent-OPEN MRIs and 157 UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI scanners have been installed worldwide. FONAR''s stellar product is the UPRIGHT® MRI (also known as the Stand-Up® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position™ imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI often sees the patient''s problem that other scanners cannot because they are lie-down and "weightless" only scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they''ll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while they watch a 42" flat screen TV. FONAR is headquartered on Long Island, New York.
