FONAR's Subsidiary Acquires Business Managing 12 UPRIGHT®
MRI Scanners
MELVILLE, NEW YORK, March 6, 2013 - FONAR
Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning™, reported that yesterday HMCA, a subsidiary of Fonar Corporation,
acquired through a majority interest in a newly formed limited liability company, a business managing 12 Stand-Up® MRI centers
and 2 other scanning centers located in Florida and New York for purchase price of $34.4 million dollars. The newly formed limited
liability company will be known as
Health Diagnostics Management, LLC (HDM).
The 12 Stand-Up® MRI centers managed by
HDM together with the 11 managed by HMCA now comprise the largest network of Stand-Up® MRI centers in the nation (23).
By combining the resources of HMCA and HDM, the Company will enjoy the benefits of 1) economies of scale, 2) shared administrative
and technical expertise and capabilities, and 3) joint marketing strategies.
Raymond Damadian, president and founder of
FONAR said, "We are delighted with this acquisition. The interests that we just acquired allow us to grow quite significantly
in one step. We have now gone from 11 UPRIGHT® MRI scanners to 23".
About FONAR
FONAR (NASDAQ:FONR), Melville, NY, The Inventor
of MR Scanning™, is an AMERICAN COMPANY that 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 over 150 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 (
p
MRI™) 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 only. 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.
