NASDAQ Continued Listing

On October 14, 2010, the Company received notice from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff that based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b), the Company’s securities were subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market. One day earlier, on October 13, 2010, the Company had reported its 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2010. The Company also did not meet the alternative requirements of $35 million in market capitalization for its listed securities (FONR), or net income from continuing operations of $500,000. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Company requested and was granted an extension, through January 7, 2011, to submit a plan of compliance. Subsequently, on January 11, 2011, the Company received a determination letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “Staff Determination”) notifying the Company that, unless the Company requests a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “NASDAQ Panel”), that the Company’s securities would be delisted.

The Company has requested a hearing before the NASDAQ Panel, which will stay any action with respect to the Staff Determination until the Panel renders a decision subsequent to the hearing. The hearing will be held on February 24, 2011. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s appeal for continued listing.

Raymond Damadian, president and founder of FONAR, said, “Hard work, difficult cut-backs and an outstanding product, the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI are behind our record-setting quarterly net income of $1,363,000. The cut-backs have been particularly hard but have been offset by the enthusiasm in our recently enacted business strategy, which capitalizes on the scanning center management business. At each of the scanning centers that we manage, our UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI scanners had more patient throughput during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 than were scanned in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.”
