AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES
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 necessary for the fair presentation of American Shared Hospital Services’ consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2020, the results of its operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results on an annualized basis. Consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2019 have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in American Shared Hospital Services’ Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Shared Hospital Services and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as follows: the Company wholly-owns the subsidiaries American Shared Radiosurgery Services (“ASRS”), PBRT Orlando, LLC (“Orlando”), OR21, Inc., and MedLeader.com, Inc. (“MedLeader”); the Company is the majority owner of Long Beach Equipment, LLC (“LBE”); ASRS is the majority-owner of GK Financing, LLC (“GKF”) which wholly-owns the subsidiary Instituto de Gamma Knife del Pacifico S.A.C. (“GKPeru”) and HoldCo GKC S.A. (“HoldCo”). GKF is the majority owner of the subsidiaries Albuquerque GK Equipment, LLC (“AGKE”), Jacksonville GK Equipment, LLC (“JGKE”) and Gamma Knife Center Ecuador S.A. (“GKCE”).
The Company (through ASRS) and Elekta AB, the manufacturer of the Gamma Knife (through its wholly-owned United States subsidiary, GKV Investments, Inc.), entered into an operating agreement and formed GKF. As of June 30, 2020, GKF provides Gamma Knife units to fifteen medical centers in the United States in the states of Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, and Texas. GKF also owns and operates single-unit Gamma Knife facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador. The Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orlando, provided proton beam radiation therapy (“PBRT”) and related equipment to a customer in the United States.
The Company formed the subsidiaries GKPeru for the purposes of expanding its business internationally; Orlando and LBE to provide proton beam therapy equipment and services in Orlando, Florida and Long Beach, California, respectively; and AGKE and JGKE to provide Gamma Knife equipment and services in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Jacksonville, Florida, respectively. AGKE began operations in the second quarter of 2011 and JGKE began operations in the fourth quarter of 2011. Orlando treated its first patient in April 2016. GKPeru treated its first patient in July 2017. LBE is not expected to generate revenue within the next two years.
On June 12, 2020, GKF purchased approximately 98% of the total outstanding shares of GKCE, from GKCE’s majority shareholders (the “Acquisition”). The Company subsequently executed agreements to acquire approximately 1.3% of the total outstanding shares of GKCE and intends to acquire the remaining 0.7% at a later date. The base purchase price for the Acquisition, including acquisition of the minority shares was approximately $2,000,000. This purchase price was paid with $575,000 in cash and a $1,425,000 loan from the United States International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”). The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including adjustment for GKCE's working capital and excess cash. The DFC loan is denominated in U.S. dollars, which is also the currency of Ecuador. See “Note 9. GKCE Acquisition” for further discussion.
The Company continues to develop its design and business model for The Operating Room for the 21st CenturySM through its 50% owned OR21, LLC (“OR21 LLC”). The remaining 50% is owned by an architectural design company. OR21 LLC is not expected to generate significant revenue for at least the next two years.
MedLeader was formed to provide continuing medical education online and through videos for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers. This subsidiary is not operational at this time.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent and duration of the future impact on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and is likely to further adversely impact, nearly all aspects of the Company’s business and markets, including its employees, operations, contractors, customers, government and third party payors and others. The full extent to which the pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-03 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2018-03”), which clarifies certain aspects of ASU 2016-1. These are: equity securities without a readily determinable fair value – discontinuation, equity securities without a readily determinable fair value – adjustments, forward contracts and purchased options, presentation requirements for certain fair value option liabilities, fair value option liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and transition guidance for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements to Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amended the effective date and other certain measurement aspects of ASU 2018-03. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-03 and ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. There was no significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 Income taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”) which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2019-12 to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for Gamma Knife, Image Guided Radiation Therapy (“IGRT”), and other equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which for medical and office equipment is generally 3 – 10 years, and after accounting for salvage value on the equipment where indicated. Salvage value is based on the estimated fair value of the equipment at the end of its useful life.
Depreciation for PBRT equipment is determined using the modified units of production method, which is a function of both time and usage of the equipment. This depreciation method allocates costs considering the projected volume of usage through the useful life of the PBRT unit, which has been estimated at 20 years. The estimated useful life of the PBRT unit is consistent with the estimated economic life of 20 years.
The following table summarizes property and equipment as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
June 30,December 31,
20202019
Medical equipment and facilities$94,200,000  $92,132,000  
Office equipment604,000  594,000  
Deposits and construction in progress2,000,000  1,965,000  
Deposits towards purchase of proton beam systems2,250,000  2,250,000  
99,054,000  96,941,000  
Accumulated depreciation(58,753,000) (55,461,000) 
Net property and equipment$40,301,000  $41,480,000  
As of June 30, 2020, approximately $3,455,000 of the net property and equipment balance is outside of the United States. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has two idle Gamma Knife units with a cumulative net book value of $943,000. There are currently no commitments to place into service or trade in these units during 2020.
Note 3. Long-Term Debt Financing
Long-term debt consists of seven notes with three financing companies collateralized by the Gamma Knife equipment, the individual customer contracts, and related accounts receivable at June 30, 2020. The Company’s loan with DFC for the Acquisition was obtained through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, HoldCo and is guaranteed by GKF. As of June 30, 2020, long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $5,291,000. See disclosure of future payments below under the heading “Commitments”.
Note 4. Finance Leases
Finance lease obligations consist of seven leases with two financing companies, collateralized by Gamma Knife and PBRT equipment, the individual customer contracts, and related accounts receivable at June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, obligations under finance leases on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $9,641,000. See disclosure of future payments below under the heading “Commitments”.

Note 5. Leases
The Company determines if a contract is a lease at inception. Under ASC 842 Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company is a lessor of equipment to various customers. Leases that commenced prior to ASC 842 adoption date were classified as operating leases under historical guidance. As the Company has elected the package of practical expedients allowing to not reassess lease classification, these leases are classified as operating leases under ASC 842 as well. All of the Company’s lessor arrangements entered into after ASC 842 adoption are also classified as operating leases. Some of these lease terms have an option to extend the lease after the initial term, but do not contain the option to terminate early or purchase the asset at the end of the term.
The Company’s Gamma Knife and PBRT contracts with hospitals are classified as operating leases under ASC 842. The related equipment is included in medical equipment and facilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As all income from the Company’s lessor arrangements is solely based on procedure volume, all income is considered variable payments not dependent on an index or a rate. As such, the Company does not measure future operating lease receivable.
The Company’s lessee operating leases are accounted for as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s operating lease contracts do not provide an implicit rate for calculating the present value of future lease payments. The Company determined its incremental borrowing rate, to be in the range of approximately 4.0% and 6.0%, by using available market rates and expected lease terms. The operating lease ROU assets and liabilities also include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lessee operating lease agreements are for administrative office space and related equipment, and the agreement to lease clinic space for its stand-alone facility in Lima, Peru. These leases have remaining lease terms between 3 and 4 years, some of which include options to renew or extend the lease. As of June 30, 2020, operating ROU assets and liabilities were $1,031,000.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company elected to not renew its lease for a satellite office in Fairfield, California. The Company previously included the renewal term in its assessment of the lease term for the ROU asset and liability. The Company accounted for this change as a lease reassessment under ASC 842. At the reassessment date, the remaining lease balance was not material to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and the Company wrote off the related ROU assets and liabilities of $67,000. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company agreed to a rent increase for its clinic space for its stand-alone facility in Lima, Peru. The rent increase was effective as of January 1, 2020 and the Company increased the related ROU assets and liabilities by $135,000.

Note 6. Per Share Amounts
Per share information has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The computation for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 excluded approximately 420,000 and 410,000, respectively, of the Company’s stock options because the exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price during those periods. The computation for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 excluded approximately 181,000 and 513,000 respectively, of the Company's stock options because the exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price during those periods.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company appointed an Interim President and Chief Executive Officer (“Interim CEO”). As part of his Offer Letter, the Interim CEO was granted 50,000 restricted stock awards that vest in full upon the earlier of August 3, 2020 and the appointment of his successor. In the event the Interim CEO continues to serve the Company after August 3, 2020, he will be granted additional restricted stock awards totaling 10,000 common shares, which will vest in full at the end of each 30-day period after August 3, 2020. The unvested restricted stock awards are included in the denominator for diluted earnings per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.
On March 31, 2020, the Company’s Award Agreements (as defined below) expired and the unvested performance share awards were returned to the Company’s stock incentive plan - see Note 7 for further discussion. Based on the guidance provided in accordance with ASC 260 Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), the weighted average common shares for basic earnings per share, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, excluded the weighted average impact of the unvested performance share awards. These awards were legally outstanding but not deemed participating securities and therefore were excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share. The unvested shares were also excluded from the denominator for diluted earnings per share because they were considered contingent shares not deemed probable as of June 30, 2019.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Note 7. Stock-based Compensation
In June 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s stock incentive plan, renaming it the Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and among other things, increasing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to 1,630,000. The Plan provides that the shares reserved under the Plan are available for issuance to officers of the Company, other key employees, non-employee directors, and advisors. The Plan is a successor to the Company’s previous plans, and any shares awarded and outstanding under those plans were transferred to the Plan. No further grants or share issuances will be made under the previous plans. On June 21, 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan in order to extend the term of the Plan by two years to February 22, 2022.
Stock-based compensation expense associated with the Company’s stock options to employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company’s stock 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 (requisite service period), usually the vesting period. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost before income tax effect for the Company’s options and restricted stock awards in the amount of $53,000 and $109,000 is reflected in net income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $53,000 and $108,000 in the same periods of the prior year, respectively. At June 30, 2020, there was approximately $19,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan, excluding unrecognized compensation cost associated with the performance share awards, discussed below. This cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately three years.
On January 4, 2017, the Company entered into a Performance Share Award Agreement with three executive officers of the Company (the “Award Agreements”) for 161,766 restricted stock awards which vest upon the achievement of certain performance metrics. The Award Agreements expired on March 31, 2020. Based on the guidance in ASC 718 Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the Company concluded these were performance-based awards with vesting criteria tied to performance metrics. As of December 31, 2018, the Company achieved one of those certain performance metrics under the Award Agreements and recognized stock compensation expense of approximately $108,000 related to these awards. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for these awards was approximately $434,000 and the unvested awards of approximately 129,000 shares were returned to the Plan as of March 31, 2020.

Note 8. Income Taxes
The Company generally calculates its effective income tax rate at the end of an interim period using an estimate of the annualized effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. However, when a reliable estimate of the annualized effective income tax rate cannot be made, the Company computes its provision for income taxes using the actual effective income tax rate for the results of operations reported within the year-to-date periods. The Company’s effective income tax rate is highly influenced by relative income or losses reported and the amount of the nondeductible stock-based compensation associated with grants of its common stock options and from the results of foreign operations. A small change in estimated annual pretax income (loss) can produce a significant variance in the annualized effective income tax rate given the expected amount of these items. As a result, the Company has computed its provision for income taxes for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 by applying the actual effective tax rates to income or (loss) reported within the condensed consolidated financial statements through those periods.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Under ASC 740 Income Taxes, the effects of new legislation are recognized upon enactment. Accordingly, the effects of the CARES Act were effective for the Company for the three-month reporting period ended March 31, 2020, and for subsequent reporting periods. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Note 9. GKCE Acquisition

On June 18, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire Gamma Knife Center Ecuador S.A. (“GKCE”) from GKCE’s selling majority shareholders. GKCE is a well-established Gamma Knife operation founded in 2009 as a private clinic to introduce advanced stereotactic radiosurgery into Ecuador and continues to operate the only Gamma Knife unit in the country. The Company acquired GKCE for the continued expansion of its business internationally.

On June 12, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company acquired approximately 98% of the total outstanding shares of GKCE. The Company subsequently executed agreements to acquire approximately 1.3% of the total outstanding shares of GKCE and intends to acquire the remaining 0.7% at a later date. The fair value of the non-controlling interests (“NCI”) on the Closing Date was approximately $58,000, which was consistent with the purchase price in the executed NCI agreements. The total purchase consideration for 100% of the outstanding shares of GKCE was $2,869,000, including $2,000,000 of base purchase price, subject to certain price adjustments for current assets and liabilities and tax withholding.

The base purchase price of $2,000,000 was paid with $575,000 of cash and a $1,425,000 loan from the United States International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”). The DFC loan is denominated in U.S. dollars, which is also the currency of Ecuador. The price adjustments will be paid by the Company in the post-closing period with the adjustments related to the amount of working capital that GKCE had as of the Closing Date. The first price adjustment for working capital as of the Closing Date was approximately $515,000. The Company estimates an additional contingent consideration of approximately $354,000 will be remitted to the seller based on the collection of Closing Date accounts receivable balances, net of related costs, during the three-month, six-month and 12-month periods after the Closing Date. The Company reviewed historical patient treatments, invoice, and collection data from GKCE to determine an appropriate estimate of the contingent consideration at the Closing Date.

The acquisition has been accounted for according to ASC 805 Business Combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, all assets acquired, including goodwill and other intangible assets, should be stated on the financial statements at fair value. The allocation of purchase price consideration is preliminary, pending the completion of the fair value of certain tangible, intangible assets, and residual goodwill. During the measurement period, which can be no more than one year from the Closing Date, the Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the final fair value of assets acquired. The assets acquired were recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value discussed below are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the Closing Date. While the Company believes its estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned to the individual assets acquired, and the resulting amount of goodwill.

The major classes of assets and liabilities to which the Company has preliminarily allocated the fair value of purchase price consideration were as follows:
June 12, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents$432,000  
Accounts receivable827,000  
Prepaid expense and other22,000  
Building404,000  
Medical equipment319,000  
Purchased intangible assets78,000  
Goodwill1,265,000  
Total assets acquired$3,347,000  
Accounts payable(193,000) 
Income taxes payable(136,000) 
Deferred income taxes(66,000) 
Employee compensation and benefits(83,000) 
Total liabilities assumed$(478,000) 
Consideration allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed$2,869,000  
First working capital payment$(515,000) 
Estimated subsequent working capital payment(354,000) 
Base purchase consideration$2,000,000  
14




The Company has allocated the purchase price of GKCE to the tangible assets, liabilities, and intangible asset acquired, based on their estimated fair values. Goodwill of $1,265,000 represents the excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets assumed of $801,000. The Company believes the amount of goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily attributable to expected synergies from an assembled and trained workforce and enhanced opportunities for growth and innovation. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not tax deductible.

The preliminary value of the acquired tangible assets acquired are as follows:
Fair ValueUseful Life (in Years)
Building$404,000  20
Medical equipment302,000  2
Other fixed assets17,000  2
Total tangible assets$723,000  

The Company also acquired intangible assets with a fair value of $78,000. The intangible asset identified was GKCE's trade name and the Company assigned an indefinite useful life to the asset.

The Company incurred costs related to the acquisition of approximately $93,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. All acquisition related costs were expensed as incurred and have been recorded in selling and administrative expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The revenue and earnings of GKCE have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results since the Closing Date and are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results. Historical financial statements and pro forma results of the operations of GKCE as if the Acquisition occurred earlier than the Closing Date have not been presented, as the applicable significance thresholds are not exceeded by the Acquisition and the corresponding requirements to provide historical financial statements and corresponding pro forma financial information are not applicable to the Acquisition. In addition, the Company believes that the financial impact of the Acquisition to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements is not material and such historical financial information and pro forma financial information would not be meaningful for investors and financial statement users.

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 (including statements regarding the expected continued treatment growth of the Company's MEVION S250 system, the expansion of the Company’s proton therapy business, the timing and expansion of treatments by new Gamma Knife systems, the Company's expansion into new markets and the Company's acquisitions and potential market segments for its services, which involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the risks of economic and market conditions, the risks of variability of financial results between quarters, the risks of the Gamma Knife and radiation therapy businesses, the risks of developing The Operating Room for the 21st Century program, the risks of changes to CMS reimbursement rates or reimbursement methodology, the risks of the timing, financing, and operations of the Company’s proton therapy business, the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, its effect on the Company’s business operations and financial condition, and the risk that the Company will be unable to identify and attract a permanent successor to the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, the risk of expanding within or into new markets, the risk that the integration or continued operation of acquired businesses could aversely affect financial results and the risk that current and future acquisitions may negatively affect the Company's financial position. 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, 2019 and the definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 26, 2020.
The Company recognizes revenues under ASC 842 and ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company had seventeen (17) Gamma Knife units and one (1) PBRT system, and sixteen (16) Gamma Knife units, one (1) PBRT system and one (1) IGRT machine in operation as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Three (3) of the Company’s customer contracts are through subsidiaries where GKF or its subsidiary is the majority owner and managing partner. Seven (7) of the Company’s seventeen (17) current Gamma Knife customers are under fee-per-use contracts, and eight (8) customers are under retail arrangements. The Company, through GKF, also owns and operates two single-unit, international Gamma Knife facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador. These two units economically function similarly to the Company’s turn-key retail arrangements. The Company’s PBRT system at Orlando Health – UF Health Cancer Center (“Orlando Health”) is also considered a retail arrangement. The Company’s contract for IGRT equipment and related equipment services expired in April 2020 and the Company agreed to sell the equipment to its existing customer for $150,000, which is equal to the equipment's salvage value.
Rental income from medical services – The Company recognizes revenues under ASC 842 when services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured, on either a fee per use or revenue sharing basis. The terms of the contracts do not contain any guaranteed minimum payments. The Company’s contracts are typically for a ten-year term and are classified as either fee per use or retail. Retail arrangements are further classified as either turn-key or revenue sharing. Revenues from fee per use contracts is determined by each hospital’s contracted rate. Revenues are recognized at the time the procedures are performed, based on each hospital’s contracted rate and the number of procedures performed. Under revenue sharing arrangements, the Company receives a contracted percentage of the reimbursement received by the hospital. The amount the Company expects to receive is recorded as revenue and estimated based on historical experience. Revenue estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted as necessary. Under turn-key arrangements, the Company receives payment from the hospital in the amount of the hospital’s reimbursement from third party payors, and the Company is responsible for paying all the operating costs of the equipment. Operating costs are determined primarily based on historical treatment protocols and cost schedules with the hospital. The Company records an estimate of operating costs which are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted as necessary to more accurately reflect the actual operating costs. For turn-key sites, the Company also shares a percentage of net operating profit. The Company records an estimate of net operating profit based on estimated revenues, less estimated operating costs. The operating costs and estimated net operating profit are recorded as other direct operating costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $3,765,000 and $8,104,000, respectively, under ASC 842.

16

Patient income – The Company has stand-alone facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayail, Ecuador, where a contract exists between the Company’s facilities and the individual patient treated at the facility. Under ASC 606, the Company acts as the principal in this transaction and provides, at a point in time, a single performance obligation, in the form of a Gamma Knife treatment. Revenue related to a Gamma Knife treatment is recognized on a gross basis at the time when the patient receives treatment. There is no variable consideration present in the Company’s performance obligation and the transaction price is agreed upon per the stated contractual rate. GKPeru's payment terms are typically prepaid for self-pay patients and insurance provider payments are paid net 30 days. GKCE's patient population is primarily covered by a government payor and payments are paid approximately 30 to 60 days upon invoice. The Company did not capitalize any incremental costs related to the fulfillment of its customer contracts. Accounts receivable earned by GKPeru and GKCE were not significant for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $226,000 and $455,000, respectively, under ASC 606.
Effective January 1, 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (“CMS”) established a Comprehensive Ambulatory Payment Classification for single session radiosurgery treatments. CMS has established a 2020 total reimbursement rate of approximately $9,600 ($9,300 in 2019) for a Medicare Gamma Knife treatment. The approximate CMS reimbursement rates for delivery of proton therapy for a simple treatment without compensation for 2020 is $539 ($520 in 2019) and $1,246 ($1,079 in 2019) for simple with compensation, intermediate and complex treatments, respectively.
On July 10, 2019, CMS issued a proposed rule that would implement a new mandatory payment model for radiation oncology services: the Radiation Oncology Alternative Payment Model (“RO APM”). The proposed RO APM would treat prospective episode payments to hospital outpatient departments and freestanding radiation therapy centers for radiation therapy as episodes of care. The RO APM would significantly alter CMS’ payment methodology for radiation oncology services. Under the RO APM, payment would be determined by the patient’s cancer type, as opposed to a traditional volume-based fee-for-service model, and would include select radiation therapy services provided within a 90-day episode. If the RO APM is finalized as proposed, radiation therapy providers and suppliers may be mandatorily required to participate in the model based on whether the radiation therapy is provided within selected geographic areas. CMS projects that approximately 40% of the radiation oncology providers within randomly selected Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) will be included in the model and approximately 60% will continue to receive reimbursement based on fee-for-service methodology. The Company, along with other interested parties, submitted comments to CMS on the proposed rule as part of the notice-and-comment rulemaking process. The comment period concluded on September 16, 2019. It is uncertain whether CMS will finalize the rule as proposed. As a result, the Company cannot estimate the potential impact of adoption of the proposed rule. However, reductions in the reimbursement rates or changes in reimbursement methodology or administration for radiosurgery and radiation therapy could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and financial results. For centers not included in the proposed model, Medicare reimbursement in 2021 for the most commonly used proton therapy delivery codes is proposed (pending final determination) to increase by approximately 4.9% and to decrease by approximately 0.1% for Gamma Knife.

The COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting recession and its follow-on effects have impacted and will likely continue to impact business activity across industries, including the Company’s. Due to factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic such as delays in service at medical facilities and restrictions imposed by government agencies, and the Company’s customers in response to the spread of COVID-19, the Company has experienced some delays in delivering certain Gamma Knife procedures and PBRT treatments. Similarly, the Company’s ability to conduct commercial efforts with its customers have been and are likely to continue to be disrupted as customers have turned their focus to dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their operations and have restricted access to their sites in efforts to contain the spread of the virus. The global nature of the pandemic has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures designed to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, business limitations and shutdowns. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets is significant, and on June 8, 2020 the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the United States was in an economic recession. An extended economic recession in the United States or elsewhere could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to conduct its business and to access financing, as well as on the Company’s results of operation, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. The prioritization of COVID-19 treatment and containment has resulted in delays in decisions by the Company’s customers and their patients, obstacles to the Company’s ability to market and deliver its services, declines in treatment volumes and adverse impacts to revenues for both Gamma Knife procedures and PBRT treatments. As a result of the pandemic and related governmental actions, Gamma Knife procedures and PBRT treatments, which currently make up all of the Company’s revenue, may be impacted differently at each of the Company’s various locations and may take longer to recover than other areas of the economy, which may have a material impact on the Company's business. The Company’s Gamma Knife operations in Latin America have experienced a decline in procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Gamma Knife and PBRT operations in the United States have also experienced negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
17

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 has varied by location based on the stage of containment and actions by government agencies. The impact on treatments and costs in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 did not appear material. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been greater for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, including declines in patient volumes and corresponding reductions in PBRT fractions and Gamma Knife procedures.
Revenues decreased by $1,206,000 and $1,959,000 to $3,991,000 and $8,559,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $5,197,000 and $10,518,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.
Revenues generated from the Company’s PBRT system decreased by $8,000 and increased by $26,000 to $1,401,000 and $3,077,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1,409,000 and $3,051,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in PBRT revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was due to lower volumes, offset by a higher average reimbursement per fraction. The increase in PBRT revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was due to higher volumes, offset slightly by lower average reimbursement per fraction.

The number of PBRT fractions decreased by 58 and increased by 72 to 1,351 and 3,027 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1,409 and 2,955 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in PBRT volume for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in PBRT volume for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was the result of the continuing increased awareness of the benefits of proton therapy treatment during the first three months of the year. This increase was offset by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020.
Gamma Knife revenues decreased by $1,010,000 and $1,529,000 to $2,590,000 and $5,482,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3,600,000 and $7,011,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in Gamma Knife revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, was due to lower volumes and lower average reimbursement at the Company’s retail sites.
The number of Gamma Knife procedures decreased by 11 and 10 to 350 and 726 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to 361 and 736 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. Excluding one customer site that reported no procedures in the second quarter of 2019 due to a labor contract dispute, and excluding the Company's recently acquired site in Ecuador, Gamma Knife procedures decreased by 32 and 31 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The decrease in Gamma Knife procedures for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In April 2020, an existing Gamma Knife customer contract expired. The site is currently operating on a month-to-month basis and will continue to do so until the customer notifies the Company in writing of their intent to terminate. The Company expects the lease to end sometime in the Fall of 2020.
Revenues generated from the Company’s IGRT contract decreased by $188,000 and $456,000 to $0 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $188,000 and $456,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in IGRT revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was the result of the winding down of the Company’s IGRT system, which was being used as a back-up system at the customer site. The Company’s contract for its IGRT equipment expired in April 2020 and the Company agreed to sell the equipment to its existing customer for $150,000, which was equal to the equipment's salvage value. The Company sold the equipment in July 2020.
Total costs of revenue decreased by $384,000 and $594,000 to $3,084,000 and $6,258,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3,468,000 and $6,852,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.
Maintenance and supplies decreased by $99,000 and $134,000 to $553,000 and $1,186,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $652,000 and $1,320,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in maintenance and supplies for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was due to a decrease in time and materials costs at the Company’s existing customer sites.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $371,000 and $618,000 to $1,637,000 and $3,284,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2,008,000 and $3,902,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to depreciation recognized on the Company’s IGRT equipment of $307,000 and $516,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The related equipment became fully depreciated in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Other direct operating costs increased by $86,000 and $158,000 to $894,000 and $1,788,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $808,000 and $1,630,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The increase in other direct operating costs for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was due to marketing and insurance costs. The increase for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was due to marketing, insurance, and operating costs at the Company’s stand-alone facility in Lima, Peru.
Selling and administrative costs increased by $129,000 and $285,00 to $1,210,000 and $2,421,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1,081,000 and $2,136,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The increase for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, was due to legal fees and accounting, tax, legal, and consulting fees related to the Company's acquisition of GKCE, offset by a decrease in payroll and travel costs. The increase for the six-month period was primarily due to legal and other fees, including, but not limited to the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition in senior management and accounting, tax, legal, and consulting fees related to the Company's acquisition of GKCE.
Interest expense decreased by $79,000 and $164,000 to $267,000 and $549,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $346,000 and $713,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 was due to a lower average principal base on the Company’s debt and leases compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively, effectively reducing interest expense.

Interest and other income decreased by $3,000 and $4,000 to $1,000 and $4,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4,000 and $8,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. Interest and other income is comprised of interest expense and interest earned.
Income tax expense decreased by $157,000 and $309,000 to a benefit of $130,000 and $158,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to expense of $27,000 and $151,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was due to lower taxable income attributable to GKF and its subsidiaries.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest decreased by $204,000 and $262,000 to $44,000 and $111,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to $248,000 and $373,000 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests represents net income earned by the 19% non-controlling interest in GKF, and net income of the non-controlling interests in various subsidiaries controlled by GKF. The decrease or increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interests reflects the relative profitability of GKF.
Net income decreased by $514,000 and $919,000 to a loss of $483,000, or $0.08 per diluted share and a loss of $618,000 or $0.10 per diluted share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to net income of $31,000, or $0.01 per diluted share and net income of $301,000 or $0.05 per diluted share for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in net income for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to legal and other professional fees incurred, a decrease in Gamma Knife procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a decrease in the average reimbursement rate at the Company’s retail sites.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $4,409,000 at June 30, 2020 compared to $1,779,000 at December 31, 2019. The Company’s cash position increased by $2,630,000 primarily due to cash from operating activities of $6,841,000 and long-term debt financing of the Acquisition of $1,425,000. This increase was offset by payment for the purchase of property and equipment of $242,000, payment for the Acquisition of $1,568,000, payments on long-term debt and finance leases of $3,043,000, payments on short-term financing of $343,000 and distributions to non-controlling interests of $440,000.
The Company has scheduled interest and principal payments under its debt obligations of approximately $1,694,000 and scheduled finance lease payments of approximately $3,603,000 during the next 12 months. The Company believes that its cash flow from cash on hand, operations, and other cash resources are adequate to meet its scheduled debt and finance lease obligations during the next 12 months. See additional discussion below related to commitments.
The Company as of June 30, 2020 had shareholders’ equity of $30,973,000, working capital of $2,144,000 and total assets of $53,885,000.

Commitments
On December 20, 2018, the Company signed Second Amendments to two System Build Agreements (the “Amendments”) for the Company’s second and third Mevion PBRT units. The Company and Mevion Medical Systems, Inc. (“Mevion”) have agreed to upgrade the second and third PBRT units for which the Company has purchase commitments. The Company is actively seeking sites for these units but, to date, has not entered into agreements with any party for either placement of a PBRT unit or the related financing. The Company projects that it will be required to commence delivery of the second and third PBRT units no later than 2023. In the event the Company is unable to enter into customer agreements within the requisite time frame or receive an extension from Mevion, the Company could forfeit its deposits, which are described below.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had commitments, after deposits, to purchase two MEVION S250i PBRT systems for $34,000,000 and the Company had $2,250,000 in non-refundable deposits toward the purchase of these two PBRT systems from Mevion. The non-refundable deposits are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as deposits and construction in progress.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had commitments to perform three Cobalt-60 reloads and install five Leksell Gamma Knife Icon Systems (“Icon”) at existing customer sites, and purchase two LINAC systems, one to be placed at an existing customer site and one at a new customer site. One of the five Icon upgrades is scheduled to occur in the second half of 2020. The Cobalt-60 reloads, remaining Icon upgrades, and LINAC purchases are scheduled to occur between 2021 and 2022. Total Gamma Knife and LINAC commitments as of June 30, 2020 were $11,110,000. It is the Company’s intent to finance these commitments. There are no significant cash requirements, pending financing, for these commitments in the next 12 months. 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.
On July 21, 2017, the Company entered into a Maintenance and Support Agreement (the “Mevion Service Agreement”) with Mevion, which provides for maintenance and support of the Company’s PBRT unit at Orlando Health. The Mevion Service Agreement began September 5, 2017, was amended in 2018, and renews annually. The agreement requires an annual prepayment of $1,562,000 which was made on September 6, 2019 for the current contractual period. This payment portion was recorded as a prepaid contract and will be amortized over the one-year service period. The Mevion Service Agreement is for a five (5) year period.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had commitments to service and maintain its Gamma Knife and PBRT equipment. The service commitments are carried out via contracts with Mevion, Elekta and Mobius Imaging, LLC. In addition, in April 2019, the Company signed agreements to service the Icon upgrades which will be installed at various dates between 2020 and 2022. The Company’s commitments to purchase two LINAC systems also include a 9-year and 5-year agreement to service the equipment, respectively. Total service commitments as of June 30, 2020 were $12,151,000. The Gamma Knife and certain other service contracts are paid monthly, as service is performed. The Company believes that cash flow from cash on hand and operations will be sufficient to cover these payments.
The Company estimates the following commitments for each of the equipment purchases, service contracts, long-term debt, finance lease obligations, and operating leases with expected timing of payments as follows as of June 30, 2020:

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There were no material changes during the period covered in this report to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and it's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three-months ended March 31, 2020, except as follows:
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Associated Economic Disruptions May Continue to Adversely Affect the Company’s Business Operations and Financial Condition
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 is now a global pandemic as declared by the World
Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe, has been declared a national emergency and has shut down many business operations around the globe. Many states and municipalities in the United States, including California, have announced aggressive and unprecedented actions to reduce the spread of the disease, including limiting non-essential gatherings of people, ceasing all non-essential travel, ordering certain businesses and government agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations and issuing shelter-in-place” orders, which direct individuals to shelter at their places of residence (subject to limited exceptions). Across our operations, although most governmental restrictions on certain medical procedures have been lifted, the pandemic has adversely impacted our business, as healthcare resources are still being prioritized for the treatment and management of the outbreak in some cases. Consequently, there are delays in delivering certain Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments and significant volatility or reductions in demand for such treatments may continue. The COVID-19 pandemic poses the risk that the Company or its employees, contractors, customers, government and third party payors and others may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to spread of the disease within these groups or due to shutdowns that have been and may continue to be requested or mandated by governmental authorities.

A broad, sustained continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to negatively impact the Company for the following reasons: (i) operations at certain medical facilities, including medical professionals and other medical facility employees, may be subject to prolonged closure or shut down and may impact our ability to market and deliver Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments; (ii) medical facilities may defer certain Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments for non-urgent patient cases in order to allocate resources to the care of patients with COVID-19; (iii) patients may continue to defer certain Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments due to real or perceived concerns about the potential spread of COVID-19 in a medical facility setting; (iv) certain deferred Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments may not be rescheduled for a later date; (v) we may experience significant volatility or continued reductions in demand for Gamma Knife and proton therapy treatments due to limitations on operations at medical facilities, including in geographies that continue to experience severe impacts of the pandemic; (vi) the pandemic may materially impact the Company’s operations for a sustained period of time due to the current travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns, including at our corporate headquarters in San Francisco, California, which is currently subject to a shelter-in-place order that remains in force; and/or (vii) members of the board, management or employee team, some of whom are particularly at risk for the severe symptoms of COVID-19, or of our small number of other employees, may become ill or have family members who are ill and are absent as a result, or they may elect not to come to work due to the illness affecting others in our office or facilities.


24

The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions and healthcare activity, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown, including the impact on the global economy and the healthcare industry. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, actions to contain its impact, the efficacy of the current governmental orders in slowing down the pandemic, the governments’ changing calculations on the economic impact and the health implications of maintaining these orders, the progress in the healthcare industry’s ability to effectively combat the virus, and potential increase or decrease in healthcare demand, volatility and uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 responses, all of which are highly unpredictable. Likewise, the financial market as a whole has experienced extreme volatility as a result of the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted, and may continue to impact, the Company’s stock price.

We refer you to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussions of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic disruptions, and the actual operational and financial impacts that we have experienced to date.

International Operations

The Company installed a Gamma Knife unit in Lima, Peru in 2017 and acquired a Gamma Knife unit operation in Guayaquil, Ecuador in 2020. International operations can be subject to exchange rate volatility, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results and cash flows. In addition, international operations can be subject to legal and regulatory uncertainty and political and economic instability, which could result in problems asserting property or contractual rights, potential tariffs, increased compliance costs, increased regulatory scrutiny, potential adverse tax consequences, the inability to repatriate funds to the United States, and the Company’s inability to operate in those locations.
