NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and entries to record the sale of EWRS Tibbi Cihazlar Ticaret Ltd Sti, “EWRS Turkey”) necessary to present fairly American Shared Hospital Services’ consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2014 and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, which results are not necessarily indicative of results on an annualized basis. Consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2013 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, 2013 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 (“GKF”); GKF’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, GK Financing U.K., Limited (“GKUK”), Instituto de Gamma Knife del Pacifico S.A.C. (“GKPeru”), GKFDB#1, LLC (“GKFDB1”), and GKFDB#2, LLC (“GKFDB2”). GKFDB1 and GKFDB2 each own 50% of the subsidiary GKF do Brasil Equipamentos Medicos LTDA (“GKF do Brasil”); 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”).

The Company through its majority-owned subsidiary, GKF, provided Gamma Knife units to seventeen medical centers as of June 30, 2014 in the states of Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin.

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 in the United States.

The Company formed the subsidiaries GKUK, GKPeru, EWRS, EWRS Turkey and GKF do Brasil for the purposes of expanding its business internationally into the United Kingdom, Peru, Turkey and Brazil; 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 the second quarter 2011 and JGKE began operation in the fourth quarter 2011. GKPeru is expected to begin operation in early 2015. GKUK is inactive and LBE is not expected to generate revenue in the next two years. The Company is in the final stages of liquidating GKF do Brazil and sold EWRS Turkey on June 10, 2014.

During 2013 and 2014, the Company’s partner in its Turkey operation, and its partners in the Jacksonville Gamma Knife operations, made investments in EWRS, and JGKE, respectively. These investments are included in the line item “Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries” in the Company’s financial statements.

Based on guidance provided in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”), the Company analyzes its operations outside the United States to determine the functional currency of each operation. Management has determined that these operations are initially accounted for in U.S. Dollars since the primary transactions incurred are in U.S. Dollars and the Company provides significant funding towards the startup of the operation. The Company determined that effective in the third quarter 2012, the functional currency for its Turkish operation, EWRS Turkey, was the Turkish Lira. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 830, EWRS Turkey’s balance sheet accounts were translated at rates in accordance with guidance provided under ASC 830, and accumulated gains and losses and translation differences were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of equity.

As of June 10, 2014 and December 31, 2013, EWRS Turkey’s balance sheet accounts were translated at rates in effect as of those dates, respectively, and income and expense accounts were translated at the weighted average rates of exchange during those respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from this process were also recognized under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are broken out in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded a net foreign currency gain of $146,000 and $161,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and a net foreign currency loss of approximately $1,174,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05 Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries of Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”), the Company no longer holds a financial interest in EWRS Turkey. As such, the cumulative translation adjustments previously recognized under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were released into net income as a component of the loss calculation for the sale of EWRS Turkey.

The Company, through EWRS, sold its Gamma Knife and radiation therapy services business in Turkey to Euromedic Cancer Centers BV (“Euromedic”) on June 10, 2014. The Company received cash which was predominantly used to pay down debt associated with the Turkish operations. The Company is also eligible for an earn-out in fiscal years 2014 and 2015 based on future revenue derived from the units sold to Euromedic. It is not practicable to estimate the revenue from the earn-outs at this time and therefore no amounts have been recorded as of June 30, 2014.

Based on guidance provided in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has analyzed the factors that define an operating segment and determined that there is only one operating segment. The seventeen locations are aggregated into one reportable segment because, in the Company’s judgment, these operating segments have similar historical economic characteristics and are expected to have similar economic characteristics in the future. Furthermore, each operating segment utilizes the same business model and technologies, servicing the same end users (radiation therapy patients). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”) as of June 30, 2014 for the presentation of the sale of EWRS Turkey. The Company has analyzed the factors that define a discontinued operation and determined that the sale of EWRS Turkey is considered the sale of a significant component and not a discontinued operation. Per ASU 2014-08, the necessary disclosures have been made for disposal of a significant component.

Effective May 31, 2014 the Company sold EWRS Turkey for EUR 4.2 million. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt and the excess was cash to the Company of $768,000.  Cash transactions were recorded for the time period June 1 to June 10, 2014, the date of the sale.   For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, medical services revenue for EWRS Turkey was $200,000 and $531,000 compared to $406,000 and $816,000 for the same periods in the prior year.  The decline in revenue is due to lower volumes on the IGRT and Gamma Knife machines in 2014, in addition to the sale of EWRS Turkey effective May 31.  For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, pretax income for EWRS Turkey was $22,000 and pretax loss was $19,000 compared to pretax loss of $399,000 and $526,000 in the same periods in the prior year. Pretax income and loss for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 includes foreign currency gains of $146,000 and $161,000, compared to foreign currency loss of $393,000 and $534,000, for the same periods in the prior year. Pretax income and loss, net of non-controlling interest, attributable to the Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 was $12,000 and $11,000 compared to pretax loss of $226,000 and $298,000 for the same periods in the prior year. The total cumulative translation adjustment of $779,000, previously recognized under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), was released into net income as a component of the loss calculation for the sale of EWRS Turkey.

While the Company viewed our Turkey operations as a good long term investment, the continued volatility of the Turkish Lira against the U.S. Dollar (which resulted in cumulative foreign currency transaction losses of $908,000) and the opportunity to generate approximately 768,000 in cash for the Company’s domestic operations were compelling reasons to consummate the sale.

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, 2014 basic loss per share was computed using 4,718,000 common shares. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 basic loss per share was computed using 4,606,000 common shares.

Pursuant to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, such as dilutive stock options are not considered when their inclusion in reporting earnings per share would be dilutive to reported losses incurred per share. Because the Company is reporting a loss for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014, the potentially dilutive effects of approximately 555,000 of the Company’s stock options are not considered for this reporting period. The computation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 excluded approximately 513,000 of the Company’s stock options because their strike price was in excess of market value. The computation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 excluded approximately 608,000 of the Company’s stock options because the exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price during those periods.

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 149,000 restricted stock units granted, consisting primarily of annual automatic grants and deferred compensation to non-employee directors, and there are 555,000 options granted, of which 530,000 options are vested as of June 30, 2014.

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 $20,000 and $46,000 is reflected in net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to $20,000 and $57,000 in the same periods in the prior year, respectively. There were 12,000 options issued and no options exercised during both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. There were no excess income tax benefits to report.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had a $2,701,000 investment in the common stock of Mevion Medical Systems, Inc. (“Mevion”), formerly Still River Systems, Inc., representing an approximate 0.77% interest in Mevion. The Company accounts for this investment under the cost method.

The Company carries its investment in Mevion 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, 2013 and reviewed it at June 30, 2014 in light of both current market conditions and the ongoing needs of Mevion to raise cash to continue its development of the first compact, single room proton beam radiation therapy (“PBRT”) system. Based on its analysis, the Company estimates that there is currently an unrealized loss (impairment) of approximately $2.4 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 Mevion 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 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 and the successful clinical operation of the first MEVION S250 system at Barnes Jewish Hospital and Mevion’s significant revenue backlog provide a significantly higher potential valuation.

Mevion’s first PBRT unit at Barnes Jewish Hospital is complete. The first treatment at Barnes Jewish Hospital was performed in mid-December 2013. Mevion is continuing the installation process at five other sites, including the Company’s site at University of Florida Cancer Center at Orlando Health (formerly the MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando). The Company’s first site broke ground for construction in September 2012 and the accelerator is expected to be delivered in October 2014.

The Company has a $9,000,000 renewable line of credit with the Bank of America (the “Bank”) that has been in place since June 2004. The Company’s earnings in 2013 were insufficient to satisfy the “profitability” covenant in the line of credit. The Bank waived this default on August 8, 2014 and the Company agreed to change the maturity date of the facility to December 31, 2014. 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 are at an interest rate per year equal to the Bank’s prime rate minus 0.5 percentage point, or alternately, at the Company’s discretion, the LIBOR rate plus 1.0 percentage point, and are secured by the Company’s cash invested with the Bank. There have been no defaults in the payment of principal or interest. The weighted average interest rate during the first six months of 2014 was 1.44%. At June 30, 2014, $7,710,000 was borrowed against the line of credit, compared to $8,840,000 at December 31, 2013.

The Company’s disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments is based on a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities, and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

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, which the Board reaffirmed in 2008. There were 1,000 shares repurchased in the first quarter and no shares repurchased in the second quarter of 2014. There were no shares repurchased in 2013. There are approximately 72,000 shares remaining under this repurchase authorization.

We generally calculate our effective income tax rate at the end of an interim period using an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. However, when a reliable estimate of the annual effective income tax rate cannot be made, we compute our provision for income taxes using the actual effective income tax rate for the year-to-date period. Our effective income tax rate is highly influenced by the amount of the nondeductible stock-based compensation associated with grants of our common stock options and the results from foreign operations. A small change in estimated annual pretax income (loss) can produce a significant variance in the annual effective income tax rate given the expected amount of these items. Because of this variability, a reliable estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for 2014 cannot be made. As a result, we have computed our provision for income taxes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 by applying the actual effective tax rate to (loss) for the period.

Certain comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current quarter’s presentation.

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^SM program, and the risks of investing in a development-stage company, Mevion, and the future operations of the Company’s proton therapy projects. 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, 2013 and the definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 10, 2014.

The Company had seventeen Gamma Knife units in operation on June 30, 2014 and nineteen units in operation on June 30, 2013. Two of the Company’s customer contracts are through subsidiaries where GKF or its subsidiary is the majority owner and managing partner. Eleven of the Company’s seventeen current Gamma Knife customers are under fee-per-use contracts, and six customers are under retail arrangements. The Company’s contract to provide radiation therapy and related equipment services to existing Gamma Knife customers 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.

On January 2, 2013, Congress enacted the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which reduced Gamma Knife delivery code reimbursement from $7,910 to $3,300, effective April 1, 2013. All other Gamma Knife reimbursement codes remained unchanged. Effective January 1, 2014, the Gamma Knife delivery code reimbursement was increased approximately 9%.

Medical services revenue decreased by $1,204,000 and $1,808,000 to $3,379,000 and $7,443,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 from $4,583,000 and $9,251,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease was partially due to a decline in volume at the existing radiation therapy sites. The decrease in Gamma Knife revenue was also due to a decrease in procedures at existing sites and increased procedures at sites with lower revenue per procedure than the Company’s historical average. EWRS Turkey was a component of the decrease in revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, contributing $206,000 and $285,000, respectively, to the decline. For the month of July 2014, Gamma Knife revenues improved 18% and 33% compared to average revenues for the first and second quarter 2014, respectively, and improved 5% compared to July 2013 revenues.

The number of Gamma Knife procedures decreased by 185 and 213 to 480 and 1,073 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 from 665 and 1,286 in the same periods in the prior year, respectively. In the first three months of 2014, one site was off-line for five weeks in the first quarter of 2014 undergoing an upgrade. Two other sites were off-line approximately one month each due to equipment and personnel issues. A few of the Company’s other sites experienced lower volumes due to the extreme weather experienced in the Midwest and East Coast during the first three months of 2014. A third site experienced significant downtime due to personnel issues in the second quarter. The sale of EWRS Turkey, effective May 31, 2014, also contributed to the decline in volumes in the second quarter, in addition to lower volumes at several other sites.

Total costs of revenue decreased by $156,000 and increased $69,000 to $2,534,000 and $5,309,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 from $2,690,000 and $5,240,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Maintenance and supplies decreased by $15,000 and increased $91,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Depreciation and amortization increased by $37,000 and $174,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to the addition of one new site and an upgrade performed in the second quarter of 2013, plus two reloads which were done in the fourth quarter 2013. When an upgrade or reload is performed the book value of the unit increases which increases depreciation expense. Other direct operating costs decreased by $178,000 and $196,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease for the three and six month period is due to lower operating costs for the Company’s retail sites, lower marketing costs, property tax and state and county taxes.

Selling and administrative costs decreased by $216,000 and $529,000 to $937,000 and $1,859,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 from $1,153,000 and $2,388,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. For the three month period the decrease is due to lower temporary help related to EWRS Turkey’s operations, building rent and legal fees. For the six month period the decrease was primarily due to lower payroll related costs, temporary help, building rent, legal and consultant fees. Building rent and consulting fees decreased due to accrued rent expense and commissions relating to a sublease of a portion of the Company’s office space, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2013. The rent accrual was required because the Company subleased a portion of its existing office space through the remainder of its lease term at a rate lower than its lease rate, which resulted in a cumulative loss.

Interest expense increased by $54,000 and $53,000 to $510,000 and $980,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 from $456,000 and $927,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. For the three and six month period, increased interest expense was due to the financing of one new site and the refinancing for the upgrade performed in the second quarter of 2013, plus two reloads which were refinanced in the fourth quarter 2013. The new and upgraded or reloaded units have higher interest expense because the outstanding principal balance is significantly higher at the inception of each loan.

The Company recorded a loss from sale of EWRS Turkey of $572,000 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014. The loss on sale represents the net book value of EWRS’s investment in EWRS Turkey at the date of the sale, after proceeds from the sale were used to pay off outstanding debt. The Company also recorded income tax expense due to the write off of a deferred tax asset of $165,000 related to losses sustained by EWRS Turkey through December 31, 2013. The deferred tax asset can no longer be utilized since EWRS Turkey was sold on June 10.

Interest and other income (loss) increased by $12,000 and $7,000 to $6,000 and $15,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 from a loss of $6,000 and gain of $8,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Interest income is generated from interest earned on the Company’s certificate of deposit and other investments.

The gain from foreign currency transactions was $146,000 and $161,000 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to a loss of $393,000 and $534,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The gain or loss from foreign currency transactions is driven by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US Dollar and Turkish Lira.

The Company had income tax expense of $34,000 and $4,000 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to income tax benefit of $12,000 and income tax expense of $40,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For the three month period, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $161,000 due to lower taxable income attributable to American Shared Hospital Services. The income tax benefit was offset by the deferred tax asset of $165,000 written off due to the sale of EWRS Turkey.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interest decreased by $148,000 and $309,000 to a loss of $129,000 and $82,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 from income of $19,000 and $227,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. Non-controlling interest primarily represents the 19% interest of GK Financing owned by a third party, as well as non-controlling interests in subsidiaries of GK Financing owned by third parties that began operations in 2011. Variances in net income attributable to non-controlling interest represent the relative increase or decrease in profitability of GKF and these ventures. For the three and six month periods, the loss attributable to non-controlling interest was primarily due to the loss on sale of EWRS Turkey.

The Company had a net loss of $927,000, or ($0.20) per diluted share, and $1,023,000, or ($0.22) per diluted share, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to net loss of $122,000, or ($0.03) per diluted share, and $97,000, or ($0.02) per diluted share, in the same periods in the prior year, respectively. For the three and six month period, the net loss was due to the loss on sale of EWRS Turkey, lower procedure volume at existing sites and a decline in reimbursement rates due to changes in payor mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Commitments

As of June 30, 2014, the Company also has $3,000,000 in non-refundable deposits toward the purchase of three MEVION S250 PBRT systems from Mevion.

The Company has made non-refundable deposits totaling $2,884,000 towards the purchase of a Gamma Knife model 4C system and four Gamma Knife Perfexion units. One Perfexion system was installed in the second quarter 2014 at an existing customer site, a second Perfexion system is scheduled to be installed in the fourth quarter 2014 at a new customer site in Oregon, and the third Perfexion is a reload scheduled for the 4^th quarter at an existing customer site. The remaining Perfexion is for a site yet to be determined. The Gamma Knife model 4C system is projected to be installed in early 2015 at the Company’s new customer site in Peru.

The company has some latitude in the tiIt is the Company’s intent to finance the remaining purchase commitments as needed. Financing commitments have been obtained for the Gamma Knife units to be installed in Oregon and Peru.

The Company expects that it will be able to obtain financing on the commitments for the remaining Perfexion units. The Company also expects it will be able to obtain financing commitments from lenders for its PBRT systems. However, there can be no assurance that financing will be available for the Company’s current or future projects, or at terms that are acceptable to the Company.
