NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1. 
Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly American Shared Hospital Services’ consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2011 and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, which results are not necessarily indicative of results on an annualized basis.  Consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2010 have been derived from audited financial statements.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These financial statements include the accounts of American Shared Hospital Services (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:  OR21, Inc. (“OR21”); MedLeader.com, Inc. (“MedLeader”); and American Shared Radiosurgery Services (“ASRS”); ASRS’ majority-owned subsidiary, GK Financing, LLC (“GK Financing”); GKF’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, GK Financing U.K., Limited (“GKUK”) and Instituto de Gamma Knife del Pacifico S.A.C. (“GKPeru”); ASHS’ majority owned subsidiary, Long Beach Equipment, LLC (“LBE”), GKF’s majority owned subsidiaries, Albuquerque GK Equipment, LLC (“AGKE”), Jacksonville GK Equipment, LLC (“JGKE”) and EWRS, LLC (“EWRS”), and EWRS’ wholly owned subsidiary, EWRS Tibbi Cihazlar Ticaret Ltd Sti (“EWRS Turkey”).

The Company through its majority-owned subsidiary, GK Financing, provided Gamma Knife units to twenty medical centers as of June 30, 2011 in the states of Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, and in Turkey.

The Company also directly provides radiation therapy and related equipment, including Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (“IMRT”), Image Guided Radiation Therapy (“IGRT”) and a CT Simulator to the radiation therapy department at an existing Gamma Knife site.

The Company has formed the subsidiaries GKUK, GKPeru, EWRS and EWRS Turkey for the purposes of expanding its business internationally into the United Kingdom, Peru and Turkey, LBE to provide proton beam therapy services in Long Beach, California, and AGKE and JGKE to provide Gamma Knife services in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Jacksonville, Florida.  AGKE and EWRS Turkey began operation in second quarter 2011, and GKPeru and JGKE are expected to begin operation in the last half of 2011, but GKUK and LBE are not expected to begin operation in 2011.

During the first half of 2011, the Company’s 30% partner in Turkey made an initial investment in EWRS of $445,000, and its partners in the New Mexico Gamma Knife operation invested $524,000 in AGKE.  These investments are included in the line item “Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries” in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has only one operating segment.

Note 2. 
Per Share Amounts

Per share information has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 basic earnings per share was computed using 4,607,000 and 4,602,000 common shares, respectively, and diluted earnings per share was computed using 4,613,000 and 4,610,000 common shares and equivalents, respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 basic earnings per share was computed using 4,597,000 and 4,595,000 common shares, respectively, and diluted earnings per share was computed using 4,607,000 and 4,603,000 common shares and equivalents, respectively.

The computation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 excluded approximately 155,000 of the Company’s stock options because the exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price during the periods.  The computation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 excluded approximately 360,000 of the Company’s stock options because the exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price during those periods.

Note 3. 
Stock-based Compensation

On June 2, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Among other things, the amendment and restatement renamed the 2006 Plan to the Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan by an additional 880,000 shares from 750,000 shares to 1,630,000 shares.  The shares are reserved for issuance to officers of the Company, other key employees, non-employee directors, and advisors.  The Plan serves as successor to the Company’s previous two stock-based employee compensation plans, the 1995 and 2001 Stock Option Plans.  The shares reserved under those two plans, including the shares of common stock subject to currently outstanding options under the plans, were transferred to the Plan, and no further grants or share issuances will be made under the 1995 and 2001 Plans.  Under the Plan, there have been 44,000 restricted stock units granted, consisting primarily of annual automatic grants and deferred compensation to non-employee directors, and approximately 626,000 options granted, of which approximately 466,000 options are vested as of June 30, 2011.

Compensation expense associated with the Company’s stock-based awards to employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The Company’s stock-based awards have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.  The estimated fair value of the Company’s option grants is estimated using assumptions for expected life, volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate which are specific to each award.  The estimated fair value of the Company’s options is amortized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.  Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost before income tax effect in the amount of $39,000 and $77,000 is reflected in net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to $28,000 and $56,000 in the same periods in the prior year, respectively.  There were 21,000 options issued and no options exercised during the three month period ended June 30, 2011.  There were no excess income tax benefits to report.

Note 4. 
Convertible Preferred Stock Investment

As of June 30, 2011 the Company has a $2,617,000 investment in the convertible preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) of Still River Systems, Inc. (“Still River”), representing an approximate 1.5% interest in Still River.  The Company accounts for this investment under the cost method.

The Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of common stock of Still River at a conversion price, subject to certain adjustments, but initially set at the original purchase price.  The Preferred Stock has voting rights equivalent to the number of common stock shares into which it is convertible, and holders of the Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, have a pro-rata right to participate in subsequent stock offerings.  In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Still River, the Preferred Stock holders have preference to the holders of common stock, and any other class or series of stock that is junior to the Preferred Stock .   The Company does not have the right to appoint a member of the Board of Directors of Still River.

The Company carries its investment in Still River at cost and reviews it for impairment on a quarterly basis, or as events or circumstances might indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable.  The Company evaluated this investment for impairment at December 31, 2010 and reviewed it at June 30, 2011 in light of both current market conditions and the ongoing needs of Still River to raise cash to continue its development of the first compact, single room PBRT system.  Based on its analysis, the Company estimates that there is currently an unrealized loss (impairment) of approximately $1.5 million.

In assessing whether the impairment is other than temporary, we evaluated the length of time and extent to which market value has been below cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of Still River and our ability and intent to retain our investment for a period sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in the market value.  Although the investment is not without certain risk, and the manufacture of the first unit has taken longer than originally anticipated, the Company believes that the current market value is a temporary situation brought on solely due to the continuing downturn of the economy, and is not a reflection on the progress or viability of Still River or its PBRT design.  Based on the continuing progress being made by Still River toward the manufacture and installation of the first single room PBRT system, the Company believes that our investment in Still River is not other than temporarily impaired.

Note 5. 
Customer Deposit
 
The Company received a $2,000,000 deposit from an existing customer during the first quarter 2011.  The customer is currently leasing a Gamma Knife unit from the Company and wishes to upgrade to a Perfexion unit.  Therefore, as part of an amendment to the existing customer contract, the Company has agreed to terminate the existing lease agreement and has entered into a purchase agreement with the customer for a Perfexion unit that is expected to be delivered and installed later in 2011.

Note 6. 
Line of Credit
 
The Company amended its $9,000,000 line of credit with the Bank of America (the “Bank”) effective August 1, 2010, extending it for a two year period.  The line of credit is drawn on from time to time as needed for equipment purchases and working capital.  Amounts drawn against the line of credit bear interest at the Bank’s Prime Rate, or alternately the LIBOR rate plus 1.50 percentage points, and are secured by the Company’s cash invested with the Bank.  The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants.  The weighted average interest rate during the first six months of 2011 was 1.92%.  At June 30, 2011, $7,700,000 was borrowed under the line of credit.

Note 7. 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximated their fair value as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.  The fair value of the Company’s investment in preferred stock is estimated to be $1,120,000 at June 30, 2011 and $1,390,000 at December 31, 2010.  The fair value of the Company’s various debt obligations, discounted at currently available interest rates was approximately $29,559,000 and $29,178,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Note 8. 
Repurchase of Common Stock

In 1999 and 2001, the Board of Directors approved resolutions authorizing the Company to repurchase up to a total of 1,000,000 shares of its own stock on the open market, and in 2008 the Board reaffirmed this authorization.  There are approximately 81,000 shares remaining under this repurchase authorization.  The Company did not repurchase any of its stock during 2010 or the first six months of 2011.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This quarterly report to the Securities and Exchange Commission may be deemed to contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and future plans of American Shared Hospital Services, which involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the risks of the Gamma Knife and radiation therapy businesses, the risks of developing The Operating Room for the 21 st Century® program, and the risks of investing in a development-stage company, Still River Systems, Inc. (“Still River”), without a proven product.  Further information on potential factors that could affect the financial condition, results of operations and future plans of American Shared Hospital Services is included in the filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, and the definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 9, 2011.

  The Company had twenty Gamma Knife units in operation at June 30, 2011 and nineteen Gamma Knife units in operation at June 30, 2010.  Two of the Company’s customer contracts are through subsidiaries where GKF or its subsidiary is the majority owner and managing partner.  Thirteen of the Company’s twenty current Gamma Knife customers are under fee-per-use contracts, and seven customers are under retail arrangements.  The Company’s contract to provide additional radiation therapy and related equipment services to an existing Gamma Knife customer is considered a retail arrangement.  Retail arrangements are further classified as either turn-key or revenue sharing.  Revenue from fee per use contracts is recorded on a gross basis as determined by each hospital’s contracted rate.  Under turn-key arrangements, the Company receives payment from the hospital in the amount of its reimbursement from third party payors, and is responsible for paying all the operating costs of the equipment.  Revenue is recorded on a gross basis and estimated based on historical experience of that hospital’s contracts with third party payors.  For revenue sharing arrangements the Company receives a contracted percentage of the reimbursement received by the hospital.  The gross amount the Company expects to receive is recorded as revenue and estimated based on historical experience.
 
Medical services revenue increased by $51,000 and $330,000 to $4,206,000 and $8,573,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from $4,155,000 and $8,243,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  The increases for both the three and six month periods are primarily due to an increase in Gamma Knife volume at several sites compared to the same periods in the prior year, particularly at sites where the Company has replaced Gamma Knife units with Perfexion units.  The increases at these sites were partially offset by lower revenue generated at three other sites where volume was lower than in the same periods in the prior year.

The number of Gamma Knife procedures decreased by 14 and increased by 37 to 450 and 939 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from 464 and 902 in the same periods in the prior year, respectively.  For the three month period, the primary reason for the decrease is that the Gamma Knife unit at one site is being replaced by the purchase, from the Company, of a new Perfexion unit.  The contract with the customer was amended to include an early termination of the existing Gamma Knife lease and a purchase agreement for a Perfexion unit to be delivered later in 2011, and the Company no longer includes in its results procedures performed there.  For both the three and six month periods, volume at the Company’s sites where Perfexion units have been installed increased by 10% and 16% for the three and six month periods compared to the prior year, respectively.  These increases were partially offset by lower volume at three other sites.

Total costs of revenue decreased by $35,000 and increased by $19,000 to $2,370,000 and $4,813,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from $2,405,000 and $4,794,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010.  Maintenance and supplies decreased by $109,000 and $134,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in the prior year.  This was primarily due to no maintenance costs for three Perfexion units that were covered under warranty, lower maintenance contract costs for several other sites, and lower costs for maintenance and repairs not covered under maintenance contracts.  Depreciation and amortization decreased by $74,000 and $131,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily because depreciation was stopped in 2010 on three sites where the remaining value of the equipment had reached its salvage value.  This was partially offset by increased depreciation expense from two new Perfexion units that were installed in 2010 and two more new Perfexion units installed in 2011.  Other direct operating costs increased by $148,000 and $284,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in the prior year.  For both the three and six month periods, the increase is primarily due to higher operating costs in connection with the Company’s retail sites and higher property taxes.

Selling and administrative costs decreased by $42,000 and increased by $19,000 to $1,041,000 and $2,163,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from $1,083,000 and $2,144,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.  For the three month period, the decrease was due to lower legal and payroll expenses, partially offset by higher business development costs and insurance expenses.  The increase for the six month period was primarily due to higher business development costs and insurance expenses, partially offset by lower legal expenses.

Interest expense increased by $67,000 and $162,000 to $570,000 and $1,146,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from $503,000 and $984,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  For both the three and six month periods, this was primarily due to increased interest expense from new financing obtained on two Perfexion units in 2010 and two Perfexion units in 2011.  This increase was partially offset by lower interest expense on debt relating to the more mature Gamma Knife units.  The more mature units have lower interest expense because interest expense decreases as the outstanding principal balance of each loan is reduced.

Interest and other income increased by $37,000 and $22,000 to $68,000 and $84,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from $31,000 and $62,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  For both the three and six month periods, the increase was due to a gain on the sale of equipment of $53,000 in second quarter 2011.  This was partially offset by a reduction in interest income due to low interest rates available on invested cash.
 
 
11

 
 
The Company had income tax expense of $22,000 and $45,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to income tax expense of $21,000 and $32,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.   The increase is primarily due to increased income before income taxes of $293,000 and $535,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $195,000 and $383,000 in the same period in 2010.  Based on the Company’s current estimated effective annual income tax rate for 2011 (based on income attributable to American Shared Hospital Services), a 52% income tax rate was applied to the company’s taxable income for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to an 87% and 76% income tax rate for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.
 
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest increased by $79,000 and $108,000 to $250,000 and $448,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from $171,000 and $340,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010.  Non-controlling interest primarily represents the 19% interest of GK Financing owned by a third party, and the variance relates to ventures that started in 2011 by subsidiaries of GK Financing.

The Company had net income of $21,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, and $42,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $3,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, and $11,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the same periods in the prior year, respectively.  The increase in net income for both the three and six month periods was primarily due to an increase in gross margin from operations, partially offset by higher interest expense.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $818,000 at June 30, 2011 compared to $1,438,000 at December 31, 2010.  The Company’s cash position decreased by $620,000 due to payments for the purchase of property and equipment of $1,770,000, principal payments on long term debt and capital leases of $3,126,000, payments on the Company’s line of credit with a bank of $800,000 and distributions to non-controlling interests of $627,000.  These decreases were partially offset by net cash from operating activities of $3,079,000, proceeds received towards equipment held for sale of $1,654,000, and investment in subsidiaries by non-controlling interests of $970,000.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has a $9,000,000 principal investment in a certificate of deposit with a bank with an interest rate of 0.7% which matures in August 2012.

The Company has a two year renewable $9,000,000 line of credit with a bank, available as needed for equipment purchases and working capital.  Amounts drawn against the line of credit are secured by the Company’s cash invested with the bank.  At June 30, 2011 there was $7,700,000 drawn against the line of credit.

The Company has scheduled interest and principal payments under its debt obligations of approximately $4,235,000 and scheduled capital lease payments of approximately $4,778,000 during the next 12 months.  The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and cash resources are adequate to meet its scheduled debt and capital lease obligations during the next 12 months.

The Company as of June 30, 2011 had shareholders’ equity of $23,954,000, working capital of $4,534,000 and total assets of $68,109,000.

Commitments

The Company has a $2,617,000 preferred stock investment in Still River Systems, Inc., a development stage company, which is considered a long-term investment on the balance sheet and is recorded at cost.   As of June 30, 2011, the Company also has $2,500,000 in non-refundable deposits toward the purchase of three Monarch250 proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) systems from Still River.  For the first two machines, the Company has a commitment to total deposits of $3,000,000 per machine until FDA approval is received, at which time the remaining balance is committed.  The delivery dates for the first two machines are anticipated to be in 2012.  For the third machine, the Company has a commitment to total deposits of $500,000 until FDA approval is received, at which time the remaining balance is committed.  The Company has entered into an agreement with a radiation oncology physician group, which has contributed $100,000 towards the deposits on the third machine.  The Still River PBRT system is not commercially proven and there is no assurance FDA approval will be received.
 
The Company has made non-refundable deposits totaling $6,560,000 towards the purchase of a LGK Model 4 Gamma Knife unit designated for placement in Peru, a Perfexion unit to be installed at an existing Gamma Knife site in the third quarter 2011, four additional Perfexion units to be placed at sites yet to be determined, an LGK Model 4 Gamma Knife unit that was installed at a new customer site in Turkey in late June 2011 and a Perfexion unit and radiation therapy equipment scheduled to be installed at another new customer site in Turkey in the third or fourth quarter 2011.
 
Including the commitments for the three Monarch250 systems, the six Perfexion units, the two LGK Model 4 Gamma Knife units and the radiation therapy equipment, the Company has total remaining commitments to purchase equipment in the amount of approximately $64,000,000.  One of the Perfexion units will be sold to the customer as part of an early termination agreement of the lease on the existing Gamma Knife system.  It is the Company’s intent to finance the remaining purchase commitments as needed.  However, due to the current economic and credit market conditions it has become more difficult to obtain financing for the Company’s projects.  The Company expects that it will not receive financing commitments from a lender for its PBRT systems until Still River obtains FDA approval on the Monarch250.  As such, there can be no assurance that financing will be available for the Company’s current or future projects, or that any such financing will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

Impairment Evaluation of Still River

The Company carries its investment in Still River at cost and reviews it for impairment on a quarterly basis, or as events or circumstances might indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable.  The Company evaluated this investment for impairment at December 31, 2010 and reviewed it at June 30, 2011 in light of both current market conditions and the ongoing needs of Still River to raise cash to continue its development of the first compact, single room PBRT system, and considering the following specific events.
 
During the first quarter of 2009, Still River proposed a Series D round of financing to raise cash, which it was able to do, but at a per share price lower than the Company’s cost basis investment.  In June 2010, Still River received approximately $20 million funding from an extended Series D offering at $0.17 per share, the same price as the earlier offering under Series D, of which existing investors contributed $13 million and new investors contributed $7 million.
 
 
13

 
 
In late December 2010, two lawsuits were filed by MIT against Still River, alleging patent infringement.  Still River recently reached a settlement agreement with MIT, and believes this issue does not have a significant long-term impact on the business.
 
In February 2011, an additional round of financing under a Series D extension was offered and raised in excess of $14 million.  These additional funds should allow Still River to complete the installation of the first proton beam unit, and allow it to make progress towards the manufacture of additional units.  This round was offered at $0.17 per share, the same price as earlier offerings under Series D.  Investors were offered an inducement to quickly close the round in the form of a warrant for 20% of additional shares.  The warrant was offered because of the delays in construction that have occurred and because of the uncertainty at that time from the pending lawsuits.
 
The lower price per share of the Series D offering, along with the 20% warrant offered in the recent round of financing in 2011, could be viewed as a reasonable estimate of the fair value of our cost-method investment, indicating that our investment is impaired.  The Company estimates that there is currently an unrealized loss (impairment) of approximately $1.5 million based on the issuance of the Series D funding compared to the Company’s cost of its investment.
 
However, the Company’s analysis has determined that its investment in Still River is not other than temporarily impaired.  This is based primarily on the following:
 
·
The installation of Still River’s first proton beam unit at Barnes Jewish Hospital is complete with the exception of the third and final phase, which consists of the installation of the Accelerator System.  Still River currently has two accelerator modules on its manufacturing floor with one being the prototype accelerator and one the production accelerator that is intended for Barnes Jewish Hospital.  The prototype accelerator is undergoing extensive operational and lifetime testing as part of the verification and validation testing required for the FDA (510K) filing.  The production accelerator is undergoing final integration and manufacturing testing, with a target ship date to the hospital in September.
 
·
Still River has started installation of its second system and a third system installation is scheduled to begin in the latter part of 2011.
 
·
In spite of the uncertain economic climate and a limited number of potential investors, with the initial Series D offering Still River was still able to raise the cash required to continue its operations, was able to add two new major investors, and continues to be able to raise additional cash with Series D extensions.  Due to the high level of interest in more compact and lower cost proton beam radiation therapy devices, Still River has been able to attract funding from financially significant and highly sophisticated investors, such as Caxton Health and Life Sciences, Venrock Associates and CHL Medical Partners.  All of these major investors, as well as Still River management, continue to invest in the Series D extensions.
 
·
Based on ongoing discussions with Still River management and regular review of their financial statements and cash flow projections, the Company believes that Still River will have adequate cash flow to continue development of the system.  Still River expects that the additional funding from the February 2011 offering will be sufficient to complete the installation of the first system.  Still River, as a development stage company manufacturing its first product, continuously analyzes its cash requirements.

 
14

 
 
 
·
The Company has analyzed its investment potential by comparing available financial information from Still River to financial data from initial public offerings (“IPO”) of companies with similar technologies and has determined that it could reasonably expect that the value of its investment in Still River would exceed the cost of its investment.
 
In addition the Company considered the following:
 
·
Much of Still River’s unique design is based on existing technology:
 
o
The single room PBRT concept and design, although a departure from the large scale three and four room PBRT systems on the market, is based on the existing principle of generating protons from a cyclotron. Still River, through design innovations and advances in magnet technology, has made the cyclotron more compact such that it can be mounted on the gantry
 
o
A gantry mounted cyclotron, although appearing to be revolutionary, has in fact been done previously. A neutron generating gantry mounted cyclotron has successfully treated patients for over ten years at Detroit Medical Center.
 
o
Still River’s development approach for the Monarch250 has been to integrate as many commercially existing components as possible into the Monarch250. The patient couch, CT imaging and treatment planning software are all commercially available and will be integrated into the Monarch250.
 
o
Still River has hired engineers and staff with many years of accelerator and proton beam experience. Personnel have been hired with prior experience at MIT’s Plasma Fusion Lab, as well as Still River rival, IBA.
 
·
Still River has completed several significant milestones towards its manufacture and installation of its first proton beam unit:
 
o
built the magnet and other cyclotron subsystems for the first three units
 
o
completed the manufacture/assembly of the gantry system
 
o
demonstrated integrated software control of all cyclotron operations on the prototype unit
 
o
completed and passed the cold mass test on the prototype unit.
 
o
completed the beam extraction test phase.
 
·
Still River filed Phase 2 of its 510(k) submission in June 2011, with Phase 1 having been submitted in February 2011.  Final submission will occur following completion of the Barnes Jewish Hospital installation.  The minimum expected review period after final submission is 3 months.  However, it is not possible to predict the actual review period and outcome, and it is uncertain as to whether the FDA will require an inspection of the unit prior to deeming Still River’s application complete.
 
·
The expected completion of the first unit, and therefore the Company’s first two units, has been delayed due to minor problems during some of the tests that were quickly rectified.  However, minor problems such as these are expected in a new technology, and do not affect the Company’s position on the viability of the Still River technology.
 
·
A respected physicist was hired by the Company as a third party consultant to perform a technical review of this project, and continues to make periodic reviews at the request of the Company.  His discussions with Still River’s chief technology officer indicated that the delays encountered have at times resulted in modifications being required, but the modifications were not significant, and he still believes that development of the PBRT machine will be completed in Still River’s timeline.  The consultant was not engaged to analyze Still River’s financial condition.

 
15

 
 
 
·
Still River added a new CEO, Joseph Jachinowski, in late 2009 strengthening its management depth, and with the new investors, increased its board strength as well.  Independent board members consist of the following:  Robert Wilson, Former Vice Chairman of Johnson and Johnson; Peter P. D’Angelo, President, Caxton Associates; Dr. Anders Hove, MD, Partner, Venrock Associates; Dr. Myles D. Greenberg, MD, General Partner, CHL Medical Partners; Dr. Jay Rao, MD, JD, Portfolio Manager, Green Arrow Capital Management; and Mr. Paul Volcker, Former Chairman, United States Federal Reserve.
 
·
Still River continues to add new customers to its list of sites agreeing to install the Monarch250 system.
 
Once FDA approval is obtained, the Company believes its per share investment in Still River will increase to a level higher than the Company’s existing carrying value (cost).  As the first unit nears completion in 2011, and FDA approval appears more imminent, the Company believes that the value of its investment will meet and exceed its carrying value.   The estimated recovery period is anticipated to occur subsequent to the first system’s clinical treatment of patients, which would shortly follow obtaining FDA approval.  The Company has the intent and the ability to maintain its investment in Still River until at least these milestones are met.

Subsequent Events

In August 2011, the Company announced that it had entered into a contract to provide a new Perfexion unit to a new customer site in Jacksonville, Florida.  The Perfexion is an upgrade from a Gamma Knife previously supplied by the Company to another hospital in the Jacksonville area, whose contract has expired.
 
Item 3. 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to any instruments with leverage or prepayment features.  The Company does not have affiliation with partnerships, trust or other entities whose purpose is to facilitate off-balance sheet financial transactions or similar arrangements , and therefore has no exposure to the financing, liquidity, market or credit risks associated with such entities.  At June 30, 2011 the Company had no significant long-term, market-sensitive investments.

Item 4. 
Controls and Procedures

           Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the company and its subsidiaries is communicated to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer.  Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Elekta Axesse™   Treatment Planning System specializes in stereotactic and dynamic IMRT and VMAT treatment abilities. One main workstation is supplied with software modules supporting stereotactic localization, conformal static and rotational arcs, IMRT and VMAT for stereotactic and image guided radiation deliveries, providing everything that is required by radiation oncology and neurosurgery teams.
 
Multimodality image support also means that this treatment planning system can offer registration and fusion of a range of images such as CT, MR, PET making it a flexible and versatile tool for both disciplines.
 
Inverse planning provides field fluence optimization based on targets and critical structures, and offers a simulated annealing algorithm (Fast Fourier Transforms), which is fast and accurate, and ideally suited to the continuous adjustments that are made to manually optimize the treatment plan.  The planning system also provides multiple target optimization and a live display of 3D dose clouds and DVHs during iteration.
 
Treatment planning of dynamic arc modulation and VMAT is driven by AMOA a unique arc modulation optimization algorithm. This technique gives sharper dose gradients and can be delivered faster than segmental delivery. This planning system is able to facilitate the combination of intensity modulated field/arcs with conformal field/arcs within the same treatment plan. The benefits of these two techniques can be combined in this way to provide superior PTV coverage (no loss in inhomogeneity) with optimized sparing of healthy tissue and organs at risk.

B.          AHS (also known as “CNT-AHS Albuquerque Medical Center, LLC”) was merged into Hospital, effective October 1, 2003, pursuant to which Hospital assumed all of AHS’s rights and obligations under the Lease by operation of law.
 
C.          Hospital and GKF desire to amend the Lease to provide for the replacement and upgrade of the Model C that is currently being leased by GKF to Hospital pursuant to the Lease, with a Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion unit including the LGP Software (such Perfexion unit leased hereunder is referred to as the “Perfexion”), which will be installed at the existing Site at which the Model C is currently installed, and contemporaneously with the dc-installation of the Model C (the “Perfexion Upgrade”).
 
Agreement:
 
NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to amend, modify and/or supplement the terms and conditions of the Lease as follows:
 
1.            Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings set forth in the Lease.
 
2.            Upgrade of the Model C to the Perfexion.
 
 
 

 
Exhibit 10.62
 
a.           In accordance with Section 13.2 of the Lease and subject to the terms and conditions set forth under the Lease, GKF shall acquire and hold title to, and install the Perfexion with new cobalt-60 sources, at the Site. GKF shall complete the Perfexion Upgrade by June 30, 2011 or such other time as approved by Hospital in writing, subject to availability of the Perfexion from the equipment manufacturer, issuance of all regulatory approvals, permits and/or waivers in a timely manner, and completion of construction of the Site. The parties acknowledge that Hospital may not be able to perform Procedures for approximately one (1) month during the Perfexion Upgrade and the deinstallation of the Model C. Simultaneously with the execution of this Amendment, Hospital and Elekta, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Elekta”) shall enter into that certain LGK Agreement of even date herewith (the “I,GK Agreement”), a copy of which shall replace the previous LGK Agreement as the updated Exhibit 1 to the Lease. Hospital shall operate and maintain a fully functional radiation therapy department at the Site which shall include the Perfexion. Use of the Perfexion shall be made available to all neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists with Hospital privileges, and Hospital shall not, without GKF’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), enter into any exclusive staffing or other contracts that would limit or restrict staff privileges and/or usage of the Perfexion by any qualified neurosurgeons or radiation oncologists.
 
b.           GKF shall be solely responsible for the construction and preparation of the Site in connection with the Perfexion Upgrade and the rigging and installation of the Perfexion.
 
c.           GKF shall be solely responsible for maintenance and service, personal property taxes, and the cost of insurance coverage for the Perfexion to the same extent and at the same levels as required under the Lease.
 
d.           In connection with the Perfexion Upgrade, Hospital shall, at Hospital’s reasonable cost and expense, provide GKF with Hospital personnel (including Hospital physicists) and cooperation upon reasonable request and as reasonably required by GKF, among other things, to assist with construction and compliance with local, state and federal regulatory requirements and with nuclear regulatory compliance issues and the calibration of the Perfexion.
 
e.           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Perfexion Upgrade shall be performed by GKF only after all necessary and appropriate licenses, permits, approvals, waivers, consents and authorizations, and the proper handling of the Cobalt-60 (collectively, the “Permits”), have been obtained by Hospital at Hospital’s sole cost and expense.
 
f.           Upon request by GKF and at GKF’s reasonable expense, Hospital shall execute and deliver a commercially reasonable form of consent to sublease or other documentation if such a document is reasonably requested by the third party financing company which holds a security interest in the Perfexion.
 
g.           It is acknowledged that the Perfexion will come with two (2) new headframes. GKF agrees that Hospital shall, for no additional cost, retain its existing headframes from the Model C for use on the Perfexion. GKF also agrees that it shall, at its sole cost and expense, refurbish such existing headframes for use on the Perfexion.
 
h.           GKF, at its cost and expense, shall cover the Perfexion training tuition costs for those physicians and physicists who will be using the Perfexion. Perfexion upgrade training shall be on-site at Hospital during a two to three day period to be coordinated between Hospital and Elekta. Any travel and entertainment associated with training shall not be the responsibility of GKF.
 
 
 

 
Exhibit 10.62
 
i.           GKF hereby grants to Hospital a non-exclusive right and license to use the LGP Software as contemplated hereunder and subject to the terms and conditions of the LGK Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
 
j.           Upon receipt of Elekta’s report on the results of the Acceptance Tests (as defined in the LGK Agreement), Hospital shall have a period of three (3) days to review and validate the results of the Acceptance Tests to confirm that the Perfexion meets the manufacturer’s specifications and documentation. At any time prior to the expiration of the test and review period set forth above, Hospital may elect to accept the Perfexion or, if the Perfexion does not meet the manufacturer’s specifications or documentation, reject the Perfexion. If Customer rejects the Perfexion in accordance with the preceding sentence, then it shall provide written notice to GKF specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such rejection. GKF will correct any material non-conformities in the Perfexion with the manufacturer’s specifications and documentation and remedy the situation as soon as practicable but, unless otherwise agreed in writing, no later than 10 days after receipt of notice of rejection from Hospital, if commercially practical. Hospital will have the right to accept or reject the corrected Perfexion in accordance with this section. If Hospital determines that GKF has not corrected a material non-confoimity in the Perfexion with the manufacturer’s specifications or documentation, then, Hospital may elect to terminate the Agreement, return the Perfexion, and receive a refund of all fees paid. If Customer provides no written notice rejecting the Perfexion prior to the end of the testing period, the Perfexion will have been deemed accepted by the Customer.
 
3.            De-Installation of the Model C; No Ownership Interests . GKF shall de - install, remove and retain all ownership rights and title to the existing Model C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease or herein, Hospital shall have no ownership interest (or option to purchase any ownership interest) in the Model C and/or the Perfexion.
 
4.            Extension of Lease Term. In consideration of GKF’s agreement to perform the Perfexion Upgrade, the Term is hereby extended to the date that is ten (10) years following the “First Perfexion Procedure Date” (as hereinafter defined). The parties agree to negotiate in good faith an additional three year extension to this Amendment or Equipment upgrade approximately twelve (12) months prior to its termination date.
 
5.            Lease Payments.
 
a.            It is understood and agreed that Section 8 of the Lease (Per Procedure Payments) shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all Procedures performed prior to the de-installation of the Model C, and that notwithstanding the Assignment, all rent or lease payments pertaining to Procedures performed prior to the de-installation of the Model C shall continue to be calculated in accordance Section 8 of the Lease and shall be paid by Hospital to, and retained solely by, GKF. However, effective from and after the date the first Procedure is performed at the Site using the Perfexion (the “First Perfexion Procedure Date”), (i) the first paragraph only of Section 8 of the Lease shall be substituted and replaced with the following; and (ii) the remainder of Section 8 of the Lease (Per Procedure Payments) shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to the Perfexion:
 
 
 

 
Exhibit 10.62
 
8. Per Procedure Payments. As rent for the lease of the Perfexion to Hospital pursuant to this Agreement, commencing from and after the First Perfexion Procedure Date, Hospital shall pay to GKF the sum of * for each “Procedure” that is performed by Hospital or its representatives or affiliates at the Site or within the State of New Mexico at the direction of Hospital or any of its affiliates, whether on an inpatient or outpatient basis, or “under arrangement” (as used in the Medicare billing context), and irrespective of whether the Procedure is performed on the Perfexion or using any other equipment or devices; provided that the Perfexion was available and fully operational at the time the Procedure was performed. As used herein, a “Procedure” means any treatment capable of
 
being performed by the Perfexion that involves stereotactic, external, single fraction, conformal radiation, commonly called radiosurgery, that may include one or more isocenters during the patient treatment session, delivered to any site(s) superior to the foramen magnum.

b.                       The parties acknowledge that the compensation payable by Hospital for the Perfexion as set forth in this Amendment has been negotiated by the parties at arm’s length based upon reasonable and jointly derived assumptions regarding the capacity for clinical services available from the Perfexion, Hospital’s capabilities in providing high quality radiation oncology services, market dynamics, GKF’s risk in providing the Perfexion, and the provision to GKF of a reasonable rate of return on its investment in support of the Perfexion. Based thereon, the Parties believe that the rent payments represent fair market value for the use of the Perfexion, the de-installation and removal of the Model C, the Perfexion Upgrade, maintenance and service, personal property taxes, cost of insurance coverage for the Perfexion, and the other additional services and costs to be provided or paid for by GKF pursuant to this Amendment. Hospital undertakes no obligation to perform any minimum number of procedures on the Perfexion, and. the use of the Perfexion for the performance of procedures is wholly based upon the independent judgment of physicians who order such procedures to meet the medical needs of their patients.
 
6.            Marketing Support . Hospital’s obligations with respect to marketing the Perfexion shall continue in the same manner and with the same amounts as set forth in Section 7 of the Lease.
 
7.            Cobalt Reload.   The second sentence of Section 13.2 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following is hereby substituted in lieu thereof: GKF and Hospital mutually agree to reload the Cobalt-60 sources between the sixth and seventh year after the Perfexion Upgrade (i.e., after six (6) years have elapsed following the First Perfexion Procedure Date). The costs associated with such Cobalt-60 reloading shall be borne solely by GKF. The Term (as extended by this Amendment) shall be further extended for the period of time during which the Perfexion is not in use due to the Cobalt-60 reloading.
 
 
 

 
Exhibit 10.62
 
8.            Termination. Effective from and after the First Perfexion Procedure Date, Section 18 of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
18.1 Termination for Economic Justification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or herein, once annually on the applicable anniversary of the First Perfexion Procedure Date, after the initial twelve (12) months following the First Perfexion Procedure Date, based upon the utilization of the Perfexion and other factors considered relevant by GKF in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, GKF may provide Hospital with a written request for a reasonable economic justification to continue the Lease and the utilization of the Perfexion at the Hospital. If, within a reasonable period of time after GKF’s written request, Hospital does not provide GKF with a reasonable economic justification to continue the Lease and the utilization of the Perfexion at the Hospital, then and in that event, but without waiving any or all of GKF’s rights or remedies under the Lease, GKF shall have the option to terminate the Lease by giving a written notice thereof to Hospital not less than six (6) months prior to the effective date of the termination designated in GKF’s written notice; provided, however, so long as Hospital is averaging 80 Procedures ammally, not taking into account the first twelve (12) months after the First Perfexion Procedure Date, GKF shall not have the option of terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 18. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of this Section, “reasonable economic justification to continue the Lease” shall not be deemed to exist (and GKF if applicable, shall have the option to terminate the Lease) if, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the issuance of GKF’s written notice of termination, the “Net Cash Flow” is negative. As used herein, “Net Cash Flow” shall mean, for the applicable period, (a) the aggregate rent payments actually received by GKF during such period, minus (b) the sum of the aggregate (i) debt service on the Perfexion, (ii) maintenance expenses, and (iii) Perfexion-r elated personal property taxes, gross receipts taxes and insurance during such period.
 
18.2 Termination for Loss of LGK Agreement. If (i) the LGK Agreement expires or is terminated by Elekta, or Hospital loses the right or license to use the Perfexion under the LGK Agreement, including without limitation, in the event Elekta requires return of the Perfexion pursuant to Section 7.7 of the LGK Agreement, and (ii) such termination is not the result of any action or inaction of Hospital in breach of this Agreement or the LGK Agreement, and (iii) to the extent practicable, GKF has been given prior notice and at least 30 days to assist in the development of a cure for the cause of such termination or loss of right or license, then, this Agreement shall immediately terminate upon written notice from Hospital to GKF of such termination or expiration of the LGK Agreement, or of such loss of the right or license to use the Perfexion under the LGK Agreement, including without limitation, in the event Elekta requires return of the Perfexion pursuant to Section 7.7 of the LGK Agreement.
 
 
 

 
Exhibit 10.62
 
18.3 Termination for GKF default to Lender. GKF, or any successor in interest to GKF under this Lease, shall (a) immediately notify Hospital in the event GKF receives any notice of default from. its Lender that relate to the financing of the Equipment or that would otherwise impact the Equipment, providing Hospital with reasonable specificity regarding the nature of such default and the rights available to Lender under such circumstances; and (b) not modify or amend its agreement with Lender in any manner that would impair the rights of Hospital without Hospital’s prior written consent. In the event that Lender provides notice to Hospital of its intent to remove the Equipment or otherwise disturb Hospital’s quiet enjoyment of the Equipment in any manner due to a default by GKF, Hospital shall have the right and option thereafter to: (i) provide any and all payments due hereunder directly to Lender unless and until directed by Lender to resume payments to GKF; and/or (ii) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to GKF. In the event that Lender removes the Equipment or requires Hospital to enter into an alternative contractual arrangement in order to retain the Equipment, this Agreement shall immediately terminate upon written notice from Hospital to GKF of such removal or contractual arrangement.
 
9.             Assignment . Section 24.1 of the Lease is hereby amended to include the following at the end of such section:
 
Nothing in this Amendment shall preclude GKF from, or limit GKF’s ability to assign, convey, contribute or otherwise transfer this Amendment to an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with GKF (provided, however, that in the event of any such transfer, GKF shall provide the Hospital with written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after such transfer); and any such transferee of GKF shall be entitled to assign, convey, contribute or otherwise transfer this Amendment to GKF or any entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with GKF (provided, however, that in the event of any such transfer, such transferee of GKF shall provide the Hospital with written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after such transfer).
 
10.           Alterations & Updates. Sections 13.3 and 13.4 of the Lease shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
 
13.3 If at any time on or after the date that is six (6) years after the First Perfexion Procedure Date (the “Six Year Date”), the Perfexion becomes obsolete (as determined in accordance with Section 13.4 below); GKF agrees to evaluate and propose to Hospital the option of an upgrade to or replacement of the existing Perfexion. The parties shall cooperate in good faith and use their best efforts to reach an agreement regarding such upgrade or replacement. In the event the upgrade or replacement is agreed upon by Hospital and GKF, the lease term will be extended and/or the rental payments thereunder increased taking into account, among other things, the expense incurred. In the event an upgrade to or replacement of the Perfexion is not agreed upon by Hospital and GKF within sixty (60) days of a determination or agreement that the Perfexion is obsolete, the Hospital shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by giving a written notice thereof to GKF not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the effective date of termination designated in Hospital’s written notice.
 
 
 

 
Exhibit 10.62
 
13.4 Unless the parties agree that the Perfexion is obsolete, such determination shall be made in accordance with the provision of this Section 13.4. A determination as to whether the Perfexion is obsolete may be requested in writing by either party at any time on or after the Six Year Date and not more than once during any twelve month period commencing from the Six Year Date. Within ten (10) days following the other party’s receipt of such request, each party shall designate a practicing neurosurgeon or ‘radiation oncologist who shall have not less than ten (10) years experience in the performance of radiosurgical procedures using various radiosurgical devices, including the Gamma Knife. Within ten (10) days of such designation, each such designee shall mutually agree upon and designate a third neurosurgeon or radiation oncologist having the same qualifications as described above and who shall have no relationship or medical staff privileges with either Hospital or GKF. The three designated physicians (“Experts”) shall have thirty (30) days, from the date the third neurosurgeon is so designated, within which to determine whether the Perfexion is obsolete. The Perfexion shall be deemed obsolete if two of the three Experts determine that other equipment is more medically appropriate than the Perfexion to perform any Procedures. Any determination of obsolescence must be in writing and must be signed two of the three Experts and distributed to the parties pursuant to the Notice provisions in Section 24.14 herein. Unless at least two’ Experts agree that the Perfexion is obsolete, the Perfexion shall not be deemed to be obsolete, and the party requesting the determination shall be required to promptly reimburse the other party for any costs or expenses incurred by the other party in connection with such determination.
 
13.5 GFK and Hospital acknowledge that, pursuant to the terms of the LGK Agreement, Elekta may, under certain circumstances, exercise its option pursuant to Section 7.6(b) thereof to modify or replace the Perfexion to make its use non-infringing. In the event Elekta exercises such option and the modified or replacement equipment is not substantially equivalent to or better than the Perfexion, Hospital shall have the option to immediately terminate this Agreement by giving a written notice thereof to GKF.
