PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

American Shared Hospital Services (“ASHS” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading provider of turn-key technology solutions for stereotactic radiosurgery and advanced radiation therapy equipment and services. The main drivers of the Company’s revenue are numbers of sites, procedure volume, and reimbursement. The Company delivers radiation therapy through medical equipment leasing and direct patient services, its two reportable segments. The medical equipment leasing segment, which we also refer to as the Company’s leasing segment, operates by fee-per-use contracts or revenue sharing contracts where the Company shares in the revenue and operating costs of the equipment. The Company’s facilities in Rhode Island, Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico are considered direct patient services, where a contract exists between the Company’s facilities and the individual treated at the facility.

The Company currently provides Gamma Knife services through its 81% indirect interest in GK Financing, LLC, a California limited liability company (“GKF”) to seven medical centers in eight states in the United States, and owns and operates two Gamma Knife units at stand-alone facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador. The remaining 19% of GKF is owned by GKV Investments, Inc. (“GKV Investments”), a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Elekta AG, a Swedish company (“Elekta”). Elekta is the manufacturer of the Leksell Gamma Knife® (the “Gamma Knife”), which is a radiosurgery-treatment device that uses precise beams of gamma radiation to non-invasively target and remove lesions or tumors in the brain and treat various neurological disorders. GKF is a non-exclusive provider of alternative financing services for Leksell Gamma Knife units.

GKF has established the wholly-owned subsidiaries Instituto de Gamma Knife del Pacifico S.A.C. (“GKPeru”) and HoldCo GKC S.A (“HoldCo”) for the purpose of providing direct patient Gamma Knife services in Peru and Ecuador, respectively. HoldCo owns approximately 99.3% of the total outstanding shares of Gamma Knife Center Ecuador S.A. (“GKCE”).

The Company wholly-owns the subsidiaries American Shared Radiosurgery Services (“ASRS”), ASHS-Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“ASHS-Mexico”), ASHS-Rhode Island Proton Beam Radiation Therapy, LLC (“RI PBRT”), ASHS-Bristol Radiation Therapy, LLC (“Bristol”), OR21, Inc. and MedLeader.com, Inc. (“MedLeader”).

ASRS is the majority-owner of GKF. GKF also owns a 51% interest in Albuquerque GK Equipment, LLC (“AGKE”) and Jacksonville GK Equipment, LLC (“JGKE”). The remaining 49% in each of these two companies is owned by radiation oncologists.

The Company is also the sole owner of PBRT Orlando, LLC (“Orlando”) and the majority owner of Long Beach Equipment, LLC (“LBE”) which were formed to provide proton beam radiation therapy services in Orlando, Florida and Long Beach, California, respectively. A 40% minority ownership in LBE is owned by radiation oncologists.

On April 27, 2022, the Company signed a Joint Venture Agreement with the principal owners of Radioterapia Guadalupe Amor y Bien S.A. de C.V. (“Guadalupe”) to establish AB Radiocirugia Y Radioterapia de Puebla, S.A.P.I. de C.V. of Puebla (“Puebla”) to treat public- and private-paying cancer patients. The Company and Guadalupe hold 85% and 15% ownership interests, respectively, in Puebla. Under the agreement, the Company is responsible for providing a linear accelerator (“LINAC”) upgrade to an Elekta Versa HD, and Guadalupe is accountable for all site modification costs. The Company formed ASHS-Mexico on October 3, 2022 to establish Puebla. Puebla was formed on December 15, 2022 and began treating patients in July 2024.

On November 10, 2023, the Company entered into an Investment Purchase Agreement (the “IPA”) with GenesisCare USA, Inc. (“GenesisCare”) and GenesisCare USA Holdings, Inc. (“GC Holdings”), pursuant to which GenesisCare agreed to sell to the Company its entire 60% equity interest in each of Southern New England Regional Cancer Center, LLC (“SNERCC”) and Roger Williams Radiation Therapy, LLC (“RWRT”; together with SNERCC, the “RI Companies”) and to assign certain payor contracts to the Company for a purchase price of $2,850,000 (such transaction, the “RI Acquisition”). Pursuant to amendments to the IPA entered into on April 18, 2024 and May 7, 2024, the Company purchased a GE Discovery RT CT Simulator from GenesisCare for $175,000, and GenesisCare agreed to transfer certain assets and payor contracts to the RI Companies rather than the Company. The parties closed the RI Acquisition on May 7, 2024. Accordingly, activity from May 7, 2024 forward is included under direct patient services in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 12 - Rhode Island Acquisition to the consolidated financial statements for further information. The RI Companies operate three radiation therapy cancer centers in Rhode Island. By acquiring the RI Companies, the Company further expanded its direct patient service business model in the United States and diversified its cancer treatment product offerings.

On April 9, 2024, Bristol was granted a Certificate of Need (a “CoN”) to provide radiation therapy services in Bristol, Rhode Island. On February 6, 2025, Bristol closed on the acquisition of certain parcels of real property located on Gooding Avenue, Bristol, Rhode Island for a purchase price of $1,185,000. The Company expects to construct a LINAC facility on this real property. The Company anticipates the facility being built and treating its first patient in approximately 18 to 24 months.

On June 28, 2024, ASHS-Mexico signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Hospital San Javier, S.A. de C.V. (“HSJ”) to establish Instituto Gamma Knife San Javier Mexico S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“San Javier”) to provide radiosurgery services to public- and private-paying patients in Guadalajara, Mexico. The Company and HSJ will hold 70% and 30% ownership interests, respectively, in San Javier. Under the agreement, the Company is responsible for upgrading HSJ’s existing Gamma Knife Perfexion system to a Gamma Knife Esprit and paying 50% of all site modification costs required to install the Esprit. The Company does not expect that San Javier will begin treating patients until mid to late 2026.

On December 10, 2024, RI PBRT was granted a CoN to acquire the technology necessary to construct and operate a freestanding proton beam radiation treatment (“PBRT”) system in Johnston, Rhode Island. The Company anticipates the facility being built and treating its first patient in approximately 36 months.

MedLeader was formed to provide continuing medical education online and through videos for doctors, nurses and other health care practitioners. MedLeader is not operational at this time and is not expected to generate significant revenue within the next two years.

The Company owns 50% of “The Operating Room for the 21st Century”SM, OR21, LLC (“OR21”). The remaining 50% of OR21 is owned by an architectural design company. OR21 is not operational at this time.

The Company was incorporated in the State of California in 1983 and its predecessor, Ernest A. Bates, M.D., Ltd. (d/b/a American Shared Hospital Services), a California limited partnership, was formed in June 1980. The Company went public in 1984 and its common stock is currently listed on the NYSE American Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMS”.

OPERATIONS

Radiation Therapy Services

The Company is continuing its efforts to expand radiation therapy services both domestically and internationally. On May 7, 2024, the Company acquired a 60% interest in the RI Companies. The RI Companies operate three, existing, stand-alone radiation therapy cancer centers in Woonsocket, Warwick and Providence, Rhode Island. In July 2024, the Company began treating patients at its stand-alone radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico. In addition, on April 9, 2024, Bristol was granted a CoN to provide radiation therapy services in Bristol, Rhode Island.

Additional information on our operations can be found in “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Note 1 - Business And Basis of Presentation” of the consolidated financial statements.

Proton Beam Radiation Therapy Operations

PBRT is an advanced alternative to traditional external beam, photon-based radiation delivered by LINACs. PBRT, first clinically introduced in the 1950s, has physics advantages compared to photon-based systems which allow PBRT to deliver higher radiation doses to the tumor with less radiation to healthy tissue. PBRT currently treats but is not limited to prostate, brain, spine, head and neck, lung, breast, gastrointestinal tract and pediatric tumors.

Introduction of PBRT in the United States, until recently, has been limited due to the high capital costs of these projects. The Company believes that the current development of single treatment room PBRT systems at lower capital costs and the level of reimbursement for PBRT from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) will help make this technology available to a larger segment of the market.

The Company currently has a PBRT system located in Orlando, Florida. Additionally, on December 10, 2024, RI PBRT was granted a CoN in Rhode Island to acquire the technology necessary to construct and operate a freestanding PBRT system.

On March 13, 2026, the Company and Orlando Health, Inc. (“Orlando Health”) entered into Amendment Two to Proton Beam Radiation Therapy Lease Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment extends the term of the Proton Beam Radiation Therapy Lease Agreement dated October 18, 2006 between the Company and Orlando Health, as amended by Amendment One to Proton Beam Radiation Therapy Lease Agreement dated effective as of August 12, 2012 (the “Lease”) for an additional seven years commencing April 6, 2026 through April 5, 2033 (the “Extended Term”), and sets the lease payment terms during the Extended Term based on a technical component collection percentage with that percentage decreasing during certain of the twelve month periods of the Extended Term. The Amendment amends certain other terms of the Lease and sets forth certain agreements between the parties with respect to the leased equipment, including (i) an option granted to Orlando Health whereby it may elect to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term, including setting the purchase price and the period in which Orlando Health may exercise its option, (ii) matters related to the Company’s obligation to remove, at its expense, the leased equipment from Orlando Health at the end of the Extended Term in the event Orlando Health does not exercise its purchase option, and certain financial understandings of the parties related to that obligation, and (iii) maintenance and insurance coverage obligations of the parties.

Additional information on our operations can be found in “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Note 1 - Business And Basis of Presentation” of the consolidated financial statements.

Gamma Knife Operations

Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery, a non-invasive procedure, is an alternative to conventional brain surgery and/or radiation therapy. It can be an adjunct to conventional brain surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Compared to conventional surgery, Gamma Knife radiosurgery usually is an out-patient procedure with lower risk of complications and can be provided at a lower cost. Typically, Gamma Knife patients resume their pre-surgical activities one or two days after treatment. The Gamma Knife Perfexion unit, which was introduced by Elekta in 2006, treats patients with 192 single doses of gamma rays that are focused with great precision on small and medium sized, well circumscribed and critically located structures in the brain. The Cobalt-60 sources converge at the target area and deliver a dose that is high enough to destroy the diseased tissue without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. In 2015, Elekta introduced an upgrade to the Gamma Knife Perfexion unit called the Icon. In 2022, Elekta introduced an upgrade to the Icon, called the Esprit. Currently, all of the Company’s seven Gamma Knife units in the United States are Gamma Knife Perfexion units, five of which have the Esprit upgrade, and one of which has the Icon upgrade. The Perfexion with Icon upgrade was completed in October 2020 for one of the Company’s U.S. Gamma Knife units. Five of the Company’s seven U.S. Gamma Knife units were upgraded to the Esprit in October 2023, January 2024, September 2024, January 2025, and April 2025 respectively. The Company’s Gamma Knife unit in Ecuador was upgraded in November 2023 to a Perfexion with Icon. The Company’s Gamma Knife unit in Peru was upgraded to a Gamma Knife Esprit in July 2025.

The Gamma Knife treats selected malignant and benign brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and functional disorders including trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain).

The Company, currently, has seven operating Gamma Knife units located in the United States and two in South America in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador, respectively. The Company’s first Gamma Knife commenced operation in September 1991. The Company’s Gamma Knife units performed 937 procedures in 2025 for a cumulative total of approximately 49,400 procedures from commencement through December 31, 2025.

Revenue from Gamma Knife services for the Company during each of the last two years ended December 31, and the percentage of total revenue of the Company represented by the Gamma Knife for each of the last two years, are set forth below:

Year Ended Total Gamma Knife Gamma Knife % of

December 31, Revenue (in thousands) Total Revenue

The Company conducts its Gamma Knife business through its 81% indirect interest in GKF. The remaining 19% interest is indirectly owned by Elekta through its wholly-owned subsidiary, GKF Investments. GKF, formed in October 1995, is managed by its policy committee. The policy committee is composed of one representative from the Company, Raymond Stachowiak, ASHS’ Executive Chairman of the Board, and one representative from Elekta. The policy committee sets the operating policy for GKF. The policy committee may act only with the unanimous approval of both of its members. The policy committee selects a manager to handle GKF’s daily operations. Craig K. Tagawa, Chief Executive Officer of GKF and President of ASHS, serves as GKF’s manager.

GKF’s profits and/or losses and any cash distributions are allocated based on membership interests. GKF’s operating agreement requires that it have a cash reserve of at least $50,000 before cash distributions are made to its members. From inception to December 31, 2025, GKF has distributed $50,815,000 to the Company and $11,920,000 to Elekta.

CUSTOMERS

The Company’s current business is the provisioning of stereotactic radiosurgery services and radiation therapy services either through medical equipment leasing or direct patient services to cancer patients. For medical equipment leasing, the Company typically provides the equipment, as well as planning, installation, reimbursement and marketing support services. The business is capital intensive; the total cost of a Gamma Knife facility usually ranges from $3.0 million to $4.5 million, including equipment, site construction and installation; the total cost of a single room PBRT system usually ranges from $30.0 million to $50.0 million, inclusive of equipment, site construction and installation. Under a leasing arrangement, the Company pays for the equipment and the medical center generally pays for site and installation costs.

The Company also owns and operates two single-unit Gamma Knife facilities in Peru and Ecuador, where it provides radiosurgery services directly to the patient. The Company also added four direct patient radiation therapy treatment centers during 2024, which it owns and manages. The Company acquired a 60% interest in three of these facilities through the RI Acquisition in May 2024 and started treating patients in Puebla, Mexico in July 2024. The market for these services primarily consists of medium sized medical centers and free-standing radiation therapy facilities.

The following is a listing of the Company’s current medical equipment leases:

Original Term of Year Contract

Southwest Texas Methodist Hospital San Antonio, Texas 10 1998 Fee per use

Central Mississippi Medical Center Jackson, Mississippi 10 2001 Fee per use

OSF Saint Francis Medical Center Peoria, Illinois 10 2001 Fee per use

Albuquerque Regional Medical Center Albuquerque, New Mexico 10 2003 Fee per use

Northern Westchester Hospital Mt. Kisco, New York 10 2005 Fee per use

Orlando Health Cancer Institute Orlando, Florida (PBRT) 10 2016 Revenue Sharing

Methodist Hospital Merrillville, Indiana 10 2019 Revenue Sharing

The Company’s typical fee per use leasing agreement is for a ten-year term. The fixed fee per use reimbursement amount that the Company receives from the customer is based on the Company’s cost to provide the service and the anticipated volume of the customer. The Gamma Knife contracts signed by the Company typically call for a fee ranging from $5,000 to $9,000 per procedure. There are no minimum volume guarantees required of the customer. In most cases, GKF is responsible for providing the Gamma Knife and related ongoing Gamma Knife equipment expenses (i.e., personal property taxes, insurance, and equipment maintenance) and helps fund the customer’s Gamma Knife marketing. The customer generally is obligated to pay site costs and the costs of operating the Gamma Knife. The customer can either renew the agreement or terminate the agreement at the end of the contractual term. If the customer chooses to terminate the agreement, then GKF may be responsible for removal of the equipment from the medical center.

The Company’s typical revenue sharing leasing agreements are for a period of ten years. Instead of receiving a fixed fee, the Company receives all or a percentage of the reimbursement (exclusive of physician fees) received by the customer. The Company and customer are at risk for any reimbursement rate changes for radiosurgery or radiation therapy services by the government or other third-party payors. There are no minimum volume guarantees required of the customer.

Two customers individually accounted for approximately 26% and 31% of the Company’s total revenue in 2025, and two customers individually accounted for approximately 35% and 27% of the Company’s total revenue in 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025, four locations accounted for 81% of total accounts receivable. At December 31, 2024, one location accounted for 32% of total accounts receivable.

MARKETING

The Company markets turn-key business solutions to cancer treatment centers, health systems, and cancer networks worldwide. The Company works closely with its partners to develop and grow its cancer service lines and provide integrated cancer care to patients in a convenient local setting close to home. For facilities under joint venture arrangements, the Company and its joint venture partners share in the capital investment costs and profitability of the operations based on their ownership interests.

FINANCING

On April 9, 2021, ASHS, Orlando, GKF (together with ASHS and Orlando, the “Borrowers”), and ASRS (together with the Borrowers, collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a five-year $22,000,000 credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Fifth Third Bank, N.A. (“Fifth Third”). Capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this “Financing” section have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement, as amended. The Credit Agreement includes three loan facilities (collectively, the “Facilities”). The first loan facility is a $9,500,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) which was used to refinance the domestic Gamma Knife debt and finance leases and for associated closing costs. The second loan facility of $5,500,000 is a delayed draw term loan (the “DDTL”) which was used to refinance the Company’s PBRT finance leases and associated closing costs, as well as to provide additional working capital. The third loan facility provides a $7,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Line”) available for future projects and general corporate purposes. The Facilities have a five-year maturity, which mature on April 9, 2026, and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties and are guaranteed by ASHS. ASHS is currently in discussions with Fifth Third regarding a potential extension of the maturity of the Facilities. However, there can be no assurance that Fifth Third will agree to such an extension or, if obtained, as to the terms or duration of any such extension. If ASHS is unable to obtain an extension of the maturity of the Facilities, the Company will not have sufficient cash on hand to repay the Facilities at maturity.

On January 25, 2024, the Loan Parties and Fifth Third entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the Credit Agreement to add the Supplemental Term Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $2,700,000 (the “Supplemental Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Supplemental Term Loan were advanced in a single borrowing on January 25, 2024, and were used for capital expenditures related to the Company’s operations in Puebla, Mexico and other related transaction costs. The Supplemental Term Loan will mature on January 25, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest on the Supplemental Term Loan was payable monthly during the initial twelve-month period following the First Amendment Effective Date. Following such twelve-month period, the Company is required to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest to fully amortize the amount outstanding under the Supplemental Term Loan by the Maturity Date. The Supplemental Term Loan is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of ASHS and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The First Amendment also replaced the LIBOR-based rates in the Credit Agreement with SOFR-based rates. Pursuant to the First Amendment, advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 3.00%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.00% (the “Applicable Rate”).

On December 18, 2024, the Company and Fifth Third entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amended the Credit Agreement to add a new term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000 (the “Second Supplemental Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Second Supplemental Term Loan were advanced in a single borrowing on December 18, 2024, and were used for capital expenditures related to the Company’s domestic Gamma Knife leasing operations and the RI Acquisition and related transaction costs. The Second Supplemental Term Loan will mature on December 18, 2029 (the “Second Maturity Date”). Interest on the Second Supplemental Term Loan was payable monthly during the initial twelve-month period following the Second Amendment Effective Date. Following such twelve-month period, the Company is required to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest to fully amortize the amount outstanding under the Second Supplemental Term Loan over a period of seven years. All unpaid principal of the Second Supplemental Term Loan and accrued and unpaid interest thereon is due and payable in full on the Second Maturity Date. The Second Supplemental Term Loan is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of ASHS and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Applicable Rate established under the First Amendment.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and representations, including without limitation, a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.25 and maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 (tested on a trailing twelve-month basis at the end of each fiscal quarter), an obligation that the Company maintain $5,000,000 of unrestricted domestic cash, reporting obligations, limitations on dispositions, changes in ownership, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, encumbrances, distributions, investments, transactions with affiliates, and capital expenditures.

On September 30, 2025, the Company received a limited waiver from Fifth Third with respect to its failure to be in compliance with the maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025 and with respect to the delivery of items following the closing of the Second Amendment.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with its obligation to maintain minimum unrestricted domestic cash and Cash Equivalents of at least an aggregate of $5,000,000 (the “Minimum Cash Covenant”). On December 10, 2025, the Loan Parties received a notice from Fifth Third (i) asserting that an Event of Default occurred under the Credit Agreement due to the failure of the Borrowers to comply with the Minimum Cash Covenant for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025 (the “September Event of Default”), and (ii) informing the Loan Parties that Fifth Third has suspended the Revolving Loan Commitment with respect to additional Revolving Loan Advances. In addition to confirming that Fifth Third has not waived the September Event of Default or any other Event of Default, the notice reserves all of Fifth Third’s other rights, powers, privileges, and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, applicable law, and otherwise with respect to any Event of Default, including but not limited to Fifth Third’s right to accelerate the Borrowers’ payment obligations in respect of all Advances and other Obligations owing under the Credit Agreement and to repossess, liquidate, or take any other action with respect to any or all Collateral.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio, the maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio, and the Minimum Cash Covenant required by the Credit Agreement (the “December Events of Default,” together with the September Event of Default, the “Financial Covenant Defaults”). The Company has notified Fifth Third of the December Events of Default, and as a result thereof, Fifth Third may exercise any of its rights, powers, privileges, and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and applicable law, including but not limited to the right to accelerate the Borrowers’ payment obligations under the Credit Agreement.

Due to the Financial Covenant Defaults described above, the Loan Parties are not in compliance with the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025. As of the date of this Annual Report, Fifth Third has not accelerated the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents. ASHS is currently in discussions with Fifth Third regarding a waiver and an amendment to the Credit Agreement along with, as described above, an extension of the maturity of the Facilities. However, there can be no assurances regarding the outcome of such discussions.

The Company’s acquisition of GKCE and the Gamma Knife Esprit in Ecuador is financed by the United States International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”). The loan entered into with DFC in connection with the acquisition of GKCE in June 2020 (the “DFC Loan”; together with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) is secured by a lien on GKCE’s assets. The first tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in June 2020 in the amount of $1,425,000. In October 2023, the second tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in the amount of $1,750,000 to finance the equipment upgrade in Ecuador. The amount outstanding under the first tranche of the DFC Loan is payable in 29 quarterly installments with a fixed interest rate of 3.67%. The amount outstanding under the second tranche of the DFC Loan is payable in 16 quarterly installments with a fixed interest rate of 7.49%. The maturity date for the first and second tranche of the DFC Loan is December 15, 2027.

The DFC Loan also contains customary covenants and representations, including without limitation, requirements that ASHS’s wholly-owned subsidiary, HoldCo, maintain certain financial ratios related to liquidity and cash flow as well as depository requirements. On March 28, 2024, HoldCo received a waiver and amendment to the DFC Loan from DFC for certain covenants as of December 31, 2023 and through December 31, 2024, which amended other covenants and definitions permanently in the DFC Loan. On March 3, 2025, the Company received an additional waiver from DFC for certain covenants as of December 31, 2024 and through December 31, 2025.

In November and December 2024, GKCE obtained two loans with banks locally in Ecuador (the “GKCE Loans”). The GKCE Loans carry interest rates of 12.60% and 12.78% and are payable in twelve and thirty-six equal monthly installments of principal and interest, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any debt issuance costs related to the GKCE Loans.

As a result of the Loan Parties’ Financial Covenant Defaults under the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third discussed above, ASHS has determined that the non-compliance with the Credit Agreement could be deemed to have resulted in an Event of Default (as defined in the DFC Loan) under the DFC Loan (the “Potential Event of Default”). However, as of the date of this Annual Report, DFC has not delivered any notice to HoldCo or ASHS asserting the occurrence of an Event of Default or sought to exercise any remedies it may have under the DFC Loan.

Due to the Potential Event of Default, HoldCo may be deemed to not be in compliance with the DFC Loan as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

The Company’s failure to comply with the covenants under the Credit Agreements could result in the Company’s credit commitments being terminated and the principal of any outstanding borrowings, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, under the Credit Agreements could be declared immediately due and payable. Furthermore, the lenders under the Credit Agreements could also exercise their rights to take possession of, and to dispose of, the collateral securing the credit facilities and loans and could pursue additional default remedies upon default as set forth in each such agreement.

As long as the Company remains in default under the Credit Agreements, Fifth Third and DFC could accelerate all payment obligations under the Credit Agreements. Although, as of the date of this Annual Report, neither Fifth Third nor DFC has exercised their acceleration rights, if Fifth Third or DFC were to accelerate all payment obligations under the Credit Agreements as a result of the defaults thereunder, the Company would not have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy such accelerated payment obligations. As a result, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to evaluate the implications of the information described above on its liquidity, financial condition, going-concern considerations, operations, and any other impact on its consolidated financial statements.

See Note 5 - Long Term Debt to the consolidated financial statements and Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Long-Term Debt for additional information.

COMPETITION

Conventional neurosurgery, radiation therapy and other radiosurgery devices are the primary competitors of Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Gamma Knife radiosurgery has gained acceptance as an alternative and/or adjunct to conventional surgery due to its more favorable morbidity outcomes for certain procedures as well as its non-invasiveness. Utilization of the Company’s Gamma Knife units is contingent on the acceptance of Gamma Knife radiosurgery by the customer’s neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists and referring physicians. In addition, the utilization of the Company’s Gamma Knife units is impacted by the proximity of competing Gamma Knife centers and providers using other radiosurgery devices.

Conventional LINAC-based radiation therapy is the primary competitor of the Company’s proton therapy system at Orlando Health Cancer Institute (“Orlando Health”). Proton beam radiation therapy has been available for many years and is recognized as a clinically beneficial alternative to conventional LINACs for certain tumor types. However, conventional radiation therapy remains more widely available and continues to be used as the primary treatment for many cancer types, due in part to the relatively limited number of proton beam radiation therapy centers, with fewer than 50 currently operating in the United States. Utilization of the Company’s proton therapy system is dependent on the acceptance of this technology by Orlando Health’s radiation oncologists and referring physicians, as well as patient self-referrals. There are currently no competing proton therapy facilities located in the immediate Orlando area in which the Company’s site operates; however, approximately eight other proton therapy centers currently operate or are under development elsewhere in Florida

There are several competing manufacturers of PBRT systems, including Mevion, IBA Particle Therapy Inc., Hitachi Ltd., Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., ProTom International, Inc. and Mitsubishi Electric Corp. The Company has purchased one MEVION S250. The Mevion system, as well as single room proton therapy systems from other manufacturers, potentially provides cancer centers the opportunity to introduce single treatment room PBRT services with a cost in the range of approximately $30 to $50 million versus four and five PBRT treatment room programs costing in excess of $120 million including facility costs. The MEVION S250 system received FDA approval in the second quarter of 2012 and the first clinical treatment occurred in December 2013 at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. The MEVION S250i (Hyperscan) unit, which includes pencil beam scanning, was FDA approved in December 2017. The Company’s first MEVION S250 system in operation at Orlando Health treated its first patient in April 2016.

Conventional LINAC-based radiation therapy is the most common form of radiation therapy treatment and is dependent on the radiation oncologists and their referring physicians. Conventional LINAC installations cost in the range of approximately $3 million to $4 million including facility costs. The Company’s ability to enter in arrangements with radiation therapy providers depends on the decision of the facilities to self-fund, use conventional financing, or utilize one of the Company’s financing alternatives.

Table of Contents

There are primarily three LINAC OEMs: Varian, Elekta and Accuray.

The Company believes the business models it has developed for use in its stereotactic radiosurgery equipment and advanced radiation therapy placements can be tailored for the PBRT market segment. The Company is targeting large, hospital-based cancer programs. The Company’s ability to develop a successful PBRT financing entity depends on the decision of cancer centers to self-fund or to fund the PBRT through conventional financing vehicles rather than the Company, the Company’s ability to capture market share from competing alternative PBRT financing entities, and the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund PBRT projects.

The Company’s ability to secure additional customers for stereotactic radiosurgery equipment, advanced radiation therapy equipment and services and other proton beam radiation therapy services, or other equipment, is dependent on its ability to effectively compete against the manufacturers of these systems selling directly to potential customers and other companies that outsource these services. The Company does not have an exclusive relationship with any manufacturer and has previously lost sales to customers that chose to purchase equipment directly from manufacturers. The Company may continue to lose future sales to such customers and to the Company’s competitors.

GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS

The Medicare program is administered by CMS of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Medicare is a health insurance program primarily for individuals 65 years of age and older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with end-stage renal disease, and is provided without regard to income or assets.

The Medicare program is subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations and determinations, requirements for utilization review, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which could materially increase or decrease payments from these government programs in the future, as well as affect the cost of providing services to patients and the timing of payments to our client hospitals.

The Company’s Gamma Knife and PBRT customers receive payments for patient care from federal government and private insurer reimbursement programs. Currently in the United States, Gamma Knife and proton therapy services are performed primarily on an out-patient basis. Gamma Knife patients with Medicare as their primary insurer, treated on either an in-patient or out-patient basis, comprise an estimated 35%-45% of the total Gamma Knife patients treated nationwide. PBRT patients with Medicare as their primary insurer are treated primarily on an out-patient basis and comprise an estimated 45% of the total radiation therapy patients treated.

On September 29, 2020, CMS published a final rule that would have implemented a new mandatory payment model for radiation oncology services delivered to certain Medicare beneficiaries: the Radiation Oncology Alternative Payment Method (“RO APM”). On August 29, 2022, CMS published a final rule that delayed the start date of the RO APM to a date to be determined through future rulemaking and amended the definition of “model performance period” to provide that the start and end dates of the five-year model performance period will be established by CMS through future rulemaking. If the RO APM had not been delayed, it would have significantly altered CMS’ payment methodology from a fee for service paradigm to a set reimbursement by cancer type methodology for radiation services provided within a 90 day episode of care. Under the RO APM, hospital-based and free-standing radiation therapy providers would have been required to participate in the model based on whether the radiation therapy provider is located within a randomly selected core-based statistical area. At this time, it is not clear if the RO APM will be implemented and, if it is implemented, the timing for implementation and in what form it will be implemented. If a start date for the RO APM is proposed, CMS will provide at least six months’ notice in advance of the proposed start date, and the proposed start date will be subject to public comment.

The average Medicare reimbursement delivery rate trends for Gamma Knife services from 2024 to 2026 are outlined below:

Average Medicare Reimbursement Delivery Rate Trends - Gamma Knife

The average Medicare reimbursement delivery rate trends for PBRT from 2024 to 2026 are outlined below. Patients typically undergo 25-40 delivery sessions.

Average Medicare Reimbursement Delivery Rate Trends - PBRT

Simple with Compensation, Intermediate, or Complex $ 1,362 $ 1,276 $ 1,277

We are unable to predict the effect of future government health care funding policy changes on operations. If the rates paid by governmental payers are reduced, if the scope of services covered by governmental payers is limited, or if one or more of our hospital clients are excluded from participation in the Medicare program or any other government health care program, there could be a material adverse effect on our business.

Affordable Care Act and Subsequent Regulation

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was enacted, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”), which resulted in significant changes to the health care industry. The primary goal of the legislation was to extend health care coverage to uninsured legal U.S. residents through both an expansion of public programs and reforms to private sector health insurance. The expansion of insurance coverage was expected to be funded in part by measures designed to promote quality and cost efficiency in health care delivery and by budgetary savings in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Because the Company is not a health care provider, we were not directly affected by the law, but we could be indirectly affected principally as follows:

Certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act have been subject to modification, regulatory changes, and legal challenges. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the federal tax penalty associated with the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate beginning in 2019, and subsequent legislative and regulatory actions have modified or delayed implementation of certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act has also been subject to litigation and repeal efforts. For example, in litigation in Texas, a federal district court held in 2018 that the elimination of the individual mandate penalty rendered the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional in its entirety. However, in 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed such challenge on standing grounds without addressing the merits, thereby leaving open the opportunity for additional challenges on the same issues that may yet affect the validity of the Affordable Care Act. Although the Affordable Care Act remains in effect, it continues to be subject to potential legislative, regulatory, and judicial developments.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted in the United States since the Affordable Care Act was enacted, including measures to reduce Medicare payments to providers, such as sequestration reductions (generally up to 2% each fiscal year) under the Budget Control Act of 2011 that began in 2013 and have been extended through 2030 by subsequent legislation, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020. Additional laws, such as the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, have also reduced Medicare payments to several providers and expanded the government’s ability to recover overpayments. It is unclear what effect, if any, the shifting legislative and other governmental proposals would have on our business.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The payment of remuneration to induce the referral of health care business has been a subject of increasing governmental and regulatory focus in recent years. Section 1128B(b) of the Social Security Act (sometimes referred to as the “federal anti-kickback statute”) provides criminal penalties and fines for individuals or entities that offer, pay, solicit or receive remuneration in order to induce referrals for items or services for which payment may be made under the Medicare and Medicaid programs and certain other government funded programs. The Affordable Care Act amended the anti-kickback statute to eliminate the requirement of actual knowledge, or specific intent to commit a violation, of the anti-kickback statute. The Social Security Act authorizes the Office of Inspector General through civil proceedings to exclude an individual or entity from participation in the Medicare and state health programs if it is determined any such party has violated Section 1128B(b) of the Social Security Act. However, the federal anti-kickback statute is subject to evolving interpretations. In the past, the government has enforced the federal anti-kickback statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham consulting and other financial arrangements with physicians. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal anti-kickback statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Additionally, the majority of states also have anti-kickback laws, which establish similar prohibitions and, in some cases, may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers. The Company believes that it is in compliance with the federal anti-kickback statute and, to the extent applicable, any state anti-kickback laws.

In addition, in March 2025, bipartisan legislation titled the Radiation Oncology Case Rate Value Based Program Act of 2025 (the “ROCR Act”) was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The ROCR Act would require CMS to establish a new, specialized payment program under Medicare pursuant to which radiation therapy providers and suppliers would receive bundled payments for episodes of care provided to individuals with specified cancer types (with each episode of care generally beginning at the time radiation therapy planning is furnished and ending 30 or 90 days later depending on the type of cancer being treated). The proposed program is intended to implement a case-rate payment methodology and has been described by industry participants as a more simplified alternative to the RO APM. The ROCR Act model would cover primarily external beam radiation therapy (“EBRT”) modalities for the 15 most common cancer types. However, unlike the RO APM, proton beam radiation therapy services would remain outside the ROCR Act model and would remain subject to fee-for-service reimbursement. As a result, reimbursement for services involving the Company’s PBRT system would fall outside the scope of the ROCR Act as currently contemplated, while reimbursement for services involving the Company’s Gamma Knife units (which provide a specialized form of EBRT) would likely be subject to the ROCR Act program. The ROCR Act remains pending, and it is uncertain whether it will be enacted or, if enacted, the timing, scope, or ultimate form of any such program or its impact on the Company’s business.

Additionally, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, often referred to as “Stark II”, bans physician self-referrals to providers of designated health services with which the physician has a financial relationship. On September 5, 2007, the third and final phase of the Stark regulations (Phase III) was published. The term “designated health services” includes, among others, radiation therapy services and in-patient and out-patient hospital services. On January 1, 1995, the Physician Ownership and Referral Act of 1993 became effective in California. This legislation prohibits physician self-referrals for covered goods and services, including radiation oncology, if the physician (or the physician’s immediate family) concurrently has a financial interest in the entity receiving the referral. The Company believes that it is in compliance with these rules and regulations.

On August 19, 2008, CMS published a final rule relating to inpatient hospital services paid under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System for discharges in the Fiscal Year 2009 (the “Final Rule”). Among other things, the Final Rule prohibits “per-click payments” to certain physician lessors for services rendered to patients who were referred by the physician lessor. This prohibition on per-click payments for leased equipment used in the treatment of a patient referred to a hospital lessee by a physician lessor applies regardless of whether the physician himself or herself is the lessor or whether the lessor is an entity in which the referring physician has an ownership or investment interest. The effective date of this prohibition was October 1, 2009. However, referrals made by a radiation oncologist for radiation therapy or ancillary services necessary for, and integral to, the provision of radiation therapy (such as Gamma Knife services) are not subject to this prohibition so long as certain conditions are met. GK Financing’s majority owned subsidiaries, AGKE and JGKE have minority ownership interests that are held solely by radiation oncologists who are otherwise exempt from the referral prohibition under the Final Rule. The Company believes it is in compliance with the Final Rule.

A range of federal civil and criminal laws target false claims and fraudulent billing activities. One of the most significant is the Federal False Claims Act, which prohibits the submission of a false claim or the making of a false record or statement in order to secure a reimbursement from a government-sponsored program. In recent years, the federal government has launched several initiatives aimed at uncovering practices which violate false claims or fraudulent billing laws. Claims under these laws may be brought either by the government or by private individuals on behalf of the government, through a “whistleblower” or “qui tam” action. The Company believes that it is in compliance with the Federal False Claims Act; however, because such actions are filed under seal and may remain secret for years, there can be no assurance that the Company or one of its affiliates is not named in a material qui tam action.

Legislation in various jurisdictions requires that health facilities obtain a Certificate of Need (“CoN”) prior to making expenditures for medical technology in excess of specified amounts. Four of the Company’s existing customers were required to obtain a CoN or its equivalent. The CoN procedure can be expensive and time consuming and may impact the length of time before Gamma Knife services commence. CoN requirements vary from state to state in their application to the operations of both the Company and its customers. In some jurisdictions the Company is required to comply with CoN procedures to provide its services and in other jurisdictions customers must comply with CoN procedures before using the Company’s services. The Company is unable to predict if any jurisdiction will eliminate or alter its CoN requirements in a manner that will increase competition and, thereby, affect the Company’s competitive position.

The Company’s Gamma Knife units contain Cobalt 60 radioactive sources. The medical centers that house the Company’s Gamma Knife units are responsible for obtaining possession and user’s licenses for the Cobalt 60 source from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Standard LINAC equipment utilized to treat patients is regulated by the FDA. The licensing is obtained by the individual medical center operating the equipment.

The Company’s Gamma Knife center in Peru was responsible for obtaining possession and user’s licenses for the Cobalt-60 sources from the Peruvian Regulatory Agencies. The Company’s Gamma Knife center in Ecuador was responsible for obtaining possession and user’s licenses for the Cobalt-60 sources from the Subsecretaría de Control y Aplicaciones Nucleares (SCAN). The Company’s stand-alone clinic in in Puebla, Mexico was responsible for obtaining its user license through the Comisión Nacional de Seguridad Nuclear y Salvaguardias (CNSNS).

The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with the various rules and regulations that affect its businesses.

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Company’s contracts with equipment vendors generally do not contain indemnification provisions. The Company maintains a comprehensive insurance program covering the value of its property and equipment, subject to deductibles, which the Company believes are reasonable.

The Company’s customer contracts generally contain mutual indemnification provisions. The Company maintains general and professional liability insurance in the United States. The Company is not involved in the practice of medicine and therefore believes its present insurance coverage and indemnification agreements are adequate for its business. The Company’s Peruvian and Ecuadorian Gamma Knife centers and Mexican LINAC center are free-standing facilities operated by GKPeru, GKCE, and Puebla, respectively. The treating physicians and clinical staff at these facilities are independent contractors. The Company maintains general and professional liability insurance consistent with the operations of these facilities and believes its present coverage is adequate for its business.

Company, Industry and Economic Risk

The Company has incurred debt and may need or desire to incur additional debt to finance its operations. If the Company is unable to utilize its existing debt facilities, or secure additional credit in the future by extending the terms of its current credit agreements or obtaining other debt financing from another lender, its operations and profits will be negatively impacted.

The Company’s business is capital intensive. In April 2021, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a five-year, $22,000,000 Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, which refinanced its existing domestic Gamma Knife portfolio. In January 2024, the Company and Fifth Third entered into the First Amendment which added an additional $2,700,000 term loan, and, in December 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment which added another $7,000,000 term loan. In June 2020, HoldCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHS, entered into the DFC Loan in connection with the acquisition of GKCE. The first tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in June 2020 in the amount of $1,425,000. In October 2023, the second tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in the amount of $1,750,000.

The Company’s combined long-term debt, net, totaled $17,294,000 and $20,182,000 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of ASHS and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the DFC Loan is secured by a lien on GKCE’s assets. Depending on the Company’s financing requirements and market conditions, the Company may seek to finance its operations by incurring additional long-term debt in the future. The Company’s current level of debt may adversely affect the Company’s ability to secure additional credit in the future and, as a result, may affect operations and profitability.

To secure additional credit, the Company may seek to enter into an extension of the Credit Agreements or to enter into a new facility with another lender. However, the Company may not be able to extend the terms of its Credit Agreements or to obtain other debt financing on terms that are favorable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on satisfactory terms when required, the Company’s ability to support its business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and its business may be harmed.

The Company’s operations and profitability may also be materially adversely affected in the event of a default under the Credit Agreements, which could result in the Company’s creditors accelerating the defaulted loan, seizing the Company’s assets with respect to which a default has occurred, and applying any collateral they may have at the time to cure the default. On December 10, 2025, the Company received notice from Fifth Third asserting that an event of default had occurred under the Credit Agreement. For a discussion of the potential adverse effects of an event of default under the Credit Agreements, see the risk factors below titled “Upon a default under the Credit Agreements, the Company may be subject to suspended borrowing abilities, accelerated payment obligations with respect to outstanding indebtedness, and other adverse consequences that would negatively affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition” and “The Company’s liquidity position and the potential acceleration of payment obligations under the Credit Agreements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

Upon an event of default under the Credit Agreements, the Company may be unable to utilize certain of its debt facilities, payment obligations may be accelerated, and the Company could be subject to other adverse consequences that would negatively affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition.

The Company is obligated to comply with certain financial-reporting requirements, financial ratios, and liquidity and leverage thresholds under certain covenants in the Credit Agreements. The Company’s ability to meet those affirmative covenants on an on-going basis can be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial market, and industry conditions, and the Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to satisfy such ratios and tests when required. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Credit Agreements. In December 2025 the Company was notified of an asserted default of a cash-maintenance covenant under the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, as discussed in more detail below.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders could elect to declare the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreements immediately due and payable and take actions to enforce their security interest in certain Company assets such as seeking to take possession of, and to dispose of, the collateral securing the credit facilities and loans. The Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected as a result of any of those events. Each of these adverse consequences remains a possibility due to the defaults under the Credit Agreements described below.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, HoldCo was not in compliance with all of its debt covenants then in effect pursuant to the DFC Loan. However, on March 28, 2024, the Company obtained a waiver for the covenant non-compliance as of December 31, 2023. On March 3, 2025, the Company received an additional waiver from DFC for certain covenants as of December 31, 2024 and through December 31, 2025. However, if a waiver from DFC is required in the future for potential non-compliance (including due to the Financial Covenant Defaults described below resulting from non-compliance with the Credit Agreement), DFC may be unwilling to provide a waiver and could, as a result, among other remedies, accelerate the repayment of the debt obligations outstanding under the DFC Loan, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Cash Covenant under the Credit Agreement. On December 10, 2025, the Company received notice from Fifth Third asserting that an event of default had occurred under the Credit Agreement due to the Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the Minimum Cash Covenant for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, and not due to a payment default. As a result of the September Event of Default, the notice informed the Loan Parties to the Credit Agreement that Fifth Third had effectively suspended the Borrowers’ ability to borrow additional amounts under the Revolving Line of the Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio, the maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio, and the Minimum Cash Covenant required by the Credit Agreement. The Company has notified Fifth Third of the December Events of Default. As a result of the Financial Covenant Defaults as of September 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2025, Fifth Third may exercise any of its rights, powers, privileges, and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, applicable law, and otherwise with respect to any event of default, including but not limited to the right to accelerate the Borrowers’ payment obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Company determined that the Financial Covenant Defaults under the Credit Agreement could be deemed to have resulted in an event of default under the DFC Loan. Although, as the date of this Annual Report, the Company is currently in discussions with Fifth Third regarding a waiver and an amendment to the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurances regarding the outcome of such discussions. Similarly, if an event of default occurred under the DFC Loan due to non-compliance under the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that DFC will be willing to provide a waiver. Despite the Company’s efforts to obtain waivers, DFC and Fifth Third could instead exercise their rights to accelerate the repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreements, among other remedies that would adversely affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition.

In addition to the Company’s noncompliance with financial covenants and resulting defaults under the Credit Agreements, the Company faces risks associated with the upcoming maturity of its Facilities under the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, which mature on April 9, 2026. Although the Company is currently in discussions with Fifth Third regarding a potential extension of such maturity date, there can be no assurance that Fifth Third will agree to any such extension or, if obtained, as to the terms or duration of any such extension. If the Company is unable to obtain an extension of the maturity of the Facilities, the Company will not have sufficient cash on hand to repay the Facilities at maturity. Any failure to repay such obligations when due would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, which could be deemed to result in a cross-default under the Credit Agreement with DFC and give rise to the possibility that Fifth Third and DFC will accelerate the Company’s payment obligations, exercise remedies against the collateral securing the Credit Agreements, or exercise any other adverse remedies available to them.

As of the date of this Annual Report, neither Fifth Third nor DFC has accelerated the obligations of the borrowers under the Credit Agreements or any related loan documents. However, unless and until the Company successfully negotiates a waiver or an agreement to amend, refinance, or replace the Credit Agreements, the possibility remains that Fifth Third and/or DFC will accelerate all payment obligations under the Credit Agreements and exercise the other adverse remedies available to them upon an event of default, including seizing the Company’s assets with respect to which a default has occurred and applying any collateral available at the time to cure the default.

If Fifth Third or DFC were to accelerate all payment obligations under the Credit Agreements, the Company would not have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy such accelerated payment obligations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See the risk factor below titled “The Company’s liquidity position and the potential acceleration of payment obligations under the Credit Agreements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

The Company’s liquidity position and the potential acceleration of payment obligations under the Credit Agreements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to the Financial Covenant Defaults under the Credit Agreement and any resulting event of default that may be deemed to have occurred under the DFC Loan, the lenders could seek to accelerate the Company’s payment obligations under the Credit Agreements. Although, as of the date of this Annual Report, neither Fifth Third nor DFC has accelerated payment obligations under the Credit Agreements, there can be no assurance that they will not do so. If the Company’s payment obligations under the Credit Agreements are accelerated due to the Financial Covenant Defaults, or any other event of default, the Company would likely not have sufficient cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and other cash resources to immediately satisfy the obligations. Furthermore, if the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining an extension of the maturity date from Fifth Third, there would not be sufficient cash on hand to pay the Facilities under the Credit Agreement if they become due on April 9, 2026. As long as the Company remains in default under the Credit Agreements, and unless and until the Company successfully negotiates a waiver or an agreement to amend, refinance, or replace the Credit Agreements, the conditions described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s financial condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, which may adversely affect its business, stock price, financial condition, ability to obtain financing, and continued operations.

The existence of substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and any related disclosure in the Company’s financial statements, may materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, or to otherwise raise capital necessary to execute its current operating plans. If the Company is unable to obtain such financing or capital, it may not be able to continue its operations at their current scope or scale or to carry out its future business objectives. In addition, substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern could negatively impact the trading price of the Company’s common stock, result in increased scrutiny by regulators and investors, and cause lenders, customers, and other third parties to limit or terminate their relationships with the Company. Any such results could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The Company’s debt agreements contain restrictions that limit its flexibility in operating its business, which could have an adverse effect on its business and operations.

The Credit Agreement and the DFC Loan contain various restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants subject the Company to various restrictions that limit the Company from, among other activities, creating any unpermitted liens to exist on its assets, incurring additional indebtedness, causing a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, effecting a merger, paying dividends or other distributions on capital stock, redeeming shares of capital stock, engaging in transactions with affiliates, or undertaking lease obligations above certain thresholds. Moreover, under certain of our credit arrangements, we have granted the lender a security interest in Company assets as security for our obligations. Any new facility or loan agreement that the Company enters into in the future could subject the Company to additional restrictions on its business operations. These restrictions limit the Company’s flexibility in operating its business.

If the Company is not successful at diversifying its business model, its revenues and profitability may decline.

The Company has historically relied on Gamma Knife unit placement and a PBRT system to provide its revenues. Currently, there is a limited market for Gamma Knife equipment and PBRT systems. As a result, we plan to adapt our business model to place other types of stereotactic radiosurgery and advanced radiation therapy equipment, including through the completion of the RI Acquisition, in addition to Gamma Knife units and PBRT systems. This will constitute an expanded product mix for the Company and there can be no assurance that we can successfully adapt our historical business model to these new product offerings. If we are not successful, our revenues and profitability could decline substantially as existing contracts expire and are not renewed.

The Federal reimbursement rate for Gamma Knife treatments may not provide the Company with an adequate return on its investment.

Congress enacted legislation in 2013 that significantly reduced the Medicare reimbursement rate for outpatient Gamma Knife treatment by setting it at the same amount paid for LINAC-based radiosurgery treatment. Gamma Knife treatment has been relatively stable during the last five years. There can be no assurance that CMS reimbursement levels will be maintained at levels providing the Company an adequate return on its investment. Any future reductions in the reimbursement rate would adversely affect the Company’s revenues and financial results.

The Company’s revenue sharing is subject to payor-mix variability which could negatively impact the Company’s revenue and financial results.

The Company’s average reimbursement rate for its revenue sharing and direct patient service customers is dependent on the percentage mix of government associated payors and commercial managed care payors. Commercial and managed care payors tend to reimburse at a higher level than government payors. Therefore, a shift in payor mix to a higher level of government payors will reduce the Company’s average reimbursement rate per treatment.

The Company’s capital investment at each site is substantial and the Company may not be able to fully recover its costs or capital investment which could have a material negative impact on its revenues and financial results.

Each Gamma Knife, PBRT or advanced LINAC device requires a substantial capital investment. In some cases, we contribute additional funds for capital costs and/or annual operating and equipment related costs such as marketing, maintenance, insurance and property taxes. Due to the structure of our contracts with medical centers, there can be no assurance that these costs will be fully recovered or that we will earn a satisfactory return on our investment, which could have a material negative impact on our revenues and financial results. Additionally, the Company may be obligated to remove the equipment at the end of the lease term. In the event the customer does not purchase the equipment from the Company or the Company is not able to trade in the equipment, the Company is required to remove the equipment and record an Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”).

The market for the Gamma Knife is limited and the Company may not be able to place additional Gamma Knife units which could negatively impact the Company’s revenue and financial results.

There is a limited market for the Gamma Knife, and the market in the United States may be mature. The Company has begun and continued operation at only five new Gamma Knife sites in the United States since 2011. Due to the substantial costs of acquiring a Gamma Knife unit, we must identify medical centers that possess neurosurgery and radiation oncology departments capable of performing a large number of Gamma Knife procedures. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in placing additional units at any sites in the future. In recognition of the Gamma Knife’s limited growth opportunity, the Company has expanded its product mix to include LINACs, MR LINACs, PET LINACs and is continuing to market PBRT units, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in placing these products with customers. The Company’s existing contracts with its customers are fixed in length and there can be no assurance that the customers will wish to extend the contract beyond the end of the term.

The Company’s failure to remediate its material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect its ability to report its financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner, and may adversely affect investor confidence, our reputation, and our business operations and financial condition.

The Company is subject to various SEC reporting and other regulatory requirements. Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud and material errors in transactions and to fairly present financial statements. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Exchange Act) and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company has limited accounting and finance personnel and expanded its operations in 2024, which impacted the Company’s ability to maintain an effective control environment. While the Company has processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, the Company plans to continue to enhance its systems, processes, and human capital resources with respect to its accounting and finance functions. The elements of the Company’s remediation plan can only be accomplished over time with the addition of experienced accounting and finance employees and, where necessary, external consultants, and with the implementation of enhanced accounting systems and financial close processes.

The Company has commenced remediation of the above discussed material weakness as it has expanded its accounting staff and personnel since late in fiscal year 2024, including during fiscal year 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate its accounting and finance staffing needs as well as make planned enhancements to its systems and improvements to its financial reporting processes. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in remediating the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. If the Company is unable to successfully complete its remediation efforts or favorably assess the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s operating results, financial position, stock price, and ability to accurately report its financial results and timely file its SEC reports could be adversely affected.

Additionally, any failure to maintain effective controls could limit the Company’s ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in material misstatements of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements. In such a case, the Company may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to the listing requirements of the NYSE American. In addition, the Company could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the NYSE American, or other regulatory authorities as well as shareholder litigation which would require additional financial and management resources. Failures in internal controls may also negatively affect investor and customer confidence in Company management or result in adverse publicity and concerns from investors and customers, any of which could have a negative effect on the price of the Company’s common stock, subject the Company to regulatory investigations, potential penalties, or stockholder litigation, and have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition.

The Company’s cash flow could become insufficient to service its debt due to financial, business, and other factors.

The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of the principal and interest on its indebtedness, including under the Credit Agreements, depends on the Company’s financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, and other factors, and may be adversely affected if the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreements are accelerated upon an event of default. There can be no assurance that the Company will maintain a level of cash flow from operating activities sufficient to permit it to pay the principal of and any interest on its indebtedness. If the Company’s cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt obligations, including as a result of any acceleration of indebtedness, the Company may be forced to delay investments and capital expenditures, to seek additional capital, or to restructure or refinance its indebtedness. There can be no guarantee that those alternative measures will be available, either at all or on terms that are favorable to the Company, or that they will be successful even if available in allowing the Company to meet its debt-service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, the Company could experience liquidity issues, which could force the Company to take alternative measures to satisfy its debt obligations, such as selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional equity capital on potentially onerous or highly dilutive terms. The Credit Agreements restrict the Company’s ability to dispose of assets and to use the proceeds from such dispositions, so the Company may be restricted from taking certain measures, such as conducting an asset sale, to meet its debt-service obligations. The ability to refinance indebtedness would also depend on the general state of capital markets and on the Company’s financial condition, neither of which can be predicted at this time.

Any acceleration of the Company’s payment obligations under the Credit Agreements could exacerbate the Company’s cash-flow constraints and further strain its liquidity. See the risk factors above titled “Upon an event of default under the Credit Agreements, the Company may be unable to utilize certain of its debt facilities, payment obligations may be accelerated, and the Company could be subject to other adverse consequences that would negatively affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition” and “The Company’s liquidity position and the potential acceleration of payment obligations under the Credit Agreements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

A small number of customers account for a major portion of our revenues and the loss of any one of these significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

A limited number of customers have historically accounted for a substantial portion of the Company’s total revenue, and the Company expects such customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. For example, in 2025, two customers individually accounted for approximately 26% and 31% of the Company’s revenue. The loss of a significant customer or a significant decline in the business from the Company’s largest customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

The Company occupies many of its facilities under long-term leases and the Company may not be able to renew its leases at the end of their terms.

The Company leases many of the facilities where it holds its equipment. At the end of the lease term for a facility, the Company may be unable to renew the lease without substantial additional costs, if at all. If we are unable to renew our facility leases, we may be required to relocate or close a facility. Additionally, due to the nature of its radiation equipment, there can be a long lead time to prepare space for holding its equipment and substantial cost involved in moving the equipment should the Company need to change locations. The failure to be able to obtain leased space when required or the costs of relocation could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The market for the Company’s services is competitive and if the Company is not able to compete its business and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

The Company estimates that there are two other companies that actively provide alternative, non-conventional Gamma Knife financing to potential customers. The Company’s relationship with Elekta, the manufacturer of the Leksell Gamma Knife unit, is non-exclusive, and the Company has lost sales to customers that chose to purchase a Gamma Knife unit directly from Elekta. The Company also has several competitors in the financing of proton therapy projects. The Company’s business model differs from its competitors, but there can be no assurances that the Company will not lose placements to its competitors. In addition, the Company may continue to lose future sales to customers purchasing equipment directly from manufacturers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete against others in placing future units and if the Company is not able to compete its business and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

There are alternatives to the Gamma Knife and medical centers could choose to use other radiosurgery devices instead of the Gamma Knife.

Other radiosurgery devices and conventional neurosurgery compete against the Gamma Knife. Each of the medical centers targeted by the Company could decide to acquire another radiosurgery device instead of a Gamma Knife to perform cranial radiosurgery. In addition, neurosurgeons who are responsible for referring patients for Gamma Knife surgery may not be willing to make such referrals for various reasons, instead opting for invasive surgery. Because of these competing alternatives, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure a sufficient number of future sites or Gamma Knife procedures to sustain its profitability and growth and accordingly there may be a material negative impact on the business and results of operations of the Company.

International operations make the Company vulnerable to risks associated with doing business in foreign countries that can affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company installed a Gamma Knife unit in Lima, Peru in 2017, acquired a Gamma Knife unit operation in Guayaquil, Ecuador in 2020, and installed a LINAC in Puebla, Mexico which began treating patients in July 2024. 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, foreign customers with longer payment cycles than customers in the United States, potential adverse tax consequences, the inability to repatriate funds to the United States, and the Company’s inability to operate in those locations.

New technology and products could result in making the Company’s equipment obsolete which could have a material adverse impact on its business and results of operations.

There is constant change and innovation in the market for highly sophisticated medical equipment. New and improved medical equipment can be introduced that could make the Gamma Knife technology obsolete and that would make it uneconomical to operate. In 2006, Elekta introduced a new model of the Gamma Knife, the Perfexion, which the Company has implemented at all of its domestic sites. The Perfexion can perform procedures faster than previous Gamma Knife models and it involves less health care personnel intervention. In 2015, Elekta introduced the Leksell Gamma Knife Icon TM. The Perfexion is upgradeable to the Icon platforms which has enhanced imaging capabilities allowing for treatment without a head frame and the treatment of larger tumors. In 2022, Elekta introduced an upgrade to the Icon, called the Esprit. Existing model 4(C)s of the Gamma Knife are not upgradeable to the Perfexion model. Currently, all of the Company’s nine Gamma Knife units are Perfexion models, six of which have been upgraded to the Esprit (including the Company’s Gamma Knife unit in Peru in July 2025), and two of which have been upgraded to the Icon (including the Company’s Gamma Knife Unit in Ecuador in November 2023). The failure to acquire or use new technology and products could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Any failure, interruption, or breach in security of the Company’s information technology (“IT”) infrastructure due to a cyber-attack or other security incident could cause the Company to incur financial penalties and losses, reputational damage, and legal liability, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company’s ability to carry out its internal and external business operations depends in part on an IT infrastructure that includes computer systems, hardware, software, online sites, servers, networks, and other IT products and services, some of which are owned and managed by third-party service providers and suppliers. Although the Company takes steps to safeguard its IT infrastructure, cybersecurity risks are an evolving and pervasive threat to the Company’s business, operations, and financial performance. Security incidents that the Company must protect against include unauthorized access of the Company’s IT systems, breaches of the Company’s data and confidential information, sophisticated malware, advanced phishing and social-engineering ploys, cyber-attacks, and commercial-software vulnerabilities that are integrated into the Company’s or any of its suppliers’ or service providers’ IT systems. While the Company strives to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of its data, systems, and information and to protect it from internal and external cybersecurity threats by taking the preventative measures and abiding by the security protocols identified in “Item 1C. Cybersecurity” below, there is no guarantee that the IT infrastructure developed by the Company and the cybersecurity measures implemented by the Company will be successful in preventing and defending against the evolving and increasingly sophisticated range of cyber incidents that the Company could be exposed to. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company’s cybersecurity risk management strategy and processes will be fully implemented, complied with, or effective in safeguarding the Company’s data, systems, and information.

Any actual compromise of or perceived threat to the Company’s IT systems and infrastructure could cause significant legal and financial exposure for the Company, damage the Company’s reputation, and create adverse publicity, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition. Any necessary response to a cyber-attack, which could include analyzing a security incident, patching up security vulnerabilities, notifying individuals affected by the incident, determining the materiality of the incident, disclosing the incident in accordance with any applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and responding to any resulting litigation, could also divert the Company’s resources and attention from its growth operations and business objectives, which could further hinder its operational and financial performance.

Macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, including low productivity growth, declining business investment, inflationary pressures, fluctuating interests rates, concerns regarding the imposition of tariffs (including retaliatory tariffs in response to tariffs imposed by the United States), concerns regarding the level of U.S. debt, shifts in monetary and fiscal policy, strained international trade relations, and heightened geopolitical pressures, could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Economic downturns may cause hospitals and medical centers to reduce spending on capital-intensive medical equipment, delay lease renewals for the radiation therapy devices, and decrease overall investment in new treatment technologies. Trade policies like tariffs and retaliatory measures, as well as geopolitical tensions in the U.S. and global markets, may cause disruptions to medical equipment supply chains, increase the cost of acquiring advanced radiation therapy technology, and delay the delivery of essential components of our Gamma Knife and LINAC systems.

Economic and inflationary pressure on patients and health care providers, along with prolonged uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, could result in changes in hospital procurement decisions, reduced demand for elective procedures, and constrained budgets for medical technology investments. These conditions may also weaken investor confidence in the health care sector, reduce access to capital for expansion projects, reduce access to capital for expansion projects, and increase regulatory scrutiny over health care spending and reimbursement policies, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with foreign operations, including political, economic, and regulatory uncertainties.

We operate Gamma Knife and LINAC facilities in Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico. These operations expose us to various risks, including changes in foreign regulations, economic instability, and shifts in health care reimbursement policies. If any of these countries implement stricter health care-related requirements, impose price controls, or experience significant currency fluctuations, our international revenue profitability may be negatively impacted.

The potential impairment of our Gamma Knife portfolio and its salvage value could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2024, we determined that our Gamma Knife portfolio had no remaining salvage value, and certain sites experienced equipment impairment or the contracts are expired or are expected to expire in the second quarters of 2025 and 2026, respectively. Additionally, two sites that recently recognized their salvage value as part of the Esprit upgrade were subsequently impaired. Accordingly, we concluded that there was no salvage value remaining and the Company recognized equipment impairment as of December 31, 2024.

The impairment of equipment and change in estimate of salvage value could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If additional impairments occur in the future, we may be required to recognize further losses on the write-down of impaired assets and incur additional removal costs for expired Gamma Knife units, which could negatively impact our reported earnings. Additionally, the continued aging of our equipment portfolio may necessitate increased capital expenditures to replace or upgrade systems, which could increase our financial burden.

Stock Ownership Risk

The trading volume of the Company’s common stock is low.

Although the Company’s common stock is listed on the NYSE American, the Company’s common stock has historically experienced low trading volume. Reported average daily trading volume in our common stock for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025 was approximately 25,000 shares. It is not likely that a further increase in an active trading market in the Company’s common stock will develop in the future. Limited trading volume subjects the Company’s common stock to greater price volatility and may make it difficult for shareholders to sell their shares in a quantity or at a price that is attractive.

Our officers, directors and principal shareholders collectively own a substantial portion of our common stock.

Collectively, our officers and directors beneficially own approximately 23.8% of our outstanding common stock, with Raymond Stachowiak, the Executive Chairman of the Board, beneficially owning approximately 23.8% of our common stock. As a result, investors may face challenges in affecting matters involving our Company, including:

● any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations;

● our acquisition or disposition of assets; and

● our corporate financing activities.

Our officers, directors, and principal shareholders may act in concert to significantly influence these and other matters requiring shareholder approval. Furthermore, this concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders. This significant concentration of share ownership may also adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning stock in a company in which a small number of shareholders hold a significant ownership interest.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock.

We do not expect to pay or declare dividends in the foreseeable future. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including our operating results, financial condition, future prospects, covenants in documents governing our debt obligations and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. You should not rely on an investment in our company if you require dividend income from your investment in our company. The success of your investment will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation of the market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

The Company recognizes the importance of securing its information, devices, and data and the IT systems it relies on to conduct its business. The Company has established its Network, Information, and Data Security Policy Guidelines (the “NIDSP Guidelines”) designed to protect the integrity and confidentiality of data and information belonging to or being exchanged by the Company and its employees, partners, customers, service providers, and suppliers and to safeguard that information and the Company’s IT infrastructure from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Risk Management and Strategy

The protections, procedures, and controls set forth in the NIDSP Guidelines demonstrate the Company’s attention to and prioritization of cybersecurity as a component of its overall strategy and system for managing risks. The NIDSP Guidelines include five policies described below, that together define the Company’s strategy and practices for managing cybersecurity threats and mitigating cybersecurity risks.

The Company’s NIDSP Guidelines and policies apply not only to the Company’s employees and consultants but also to any third parties that access or utilize the Company’s information and systems. Such third parties may include the Company’s service providers, customers, suppliers, contractors, consultants, and any other individuals the Company conducts business with. The IT infrastructure that the Company has developed in accordance with the NIDSP Guidelines is designed to monitor both internal and external cybersecurity risks. The NIDSP Guidelines equip the Company with the tools and systems necessary to recognize, address, and protect against risks associated with its third-party interactions.

Cybersecurity Governance

The Company’s IT Manager and executive team is responsible for the day-to-day management of cybersecurity risks, while the Company’s Board of Directors has responsibility for oversight of risk management.

As part of the Company’s framework for cybersecurity risk oversight and governance, the Company’s network, information, and data-security policies set forth in the NIDSP Guidelines are enforced by the Company’s IT Manager and/or its executive team. The IT Manager is an employee designated by the Company to manage the Company’s security policies and program. The IT Manager is tasked with ensuring that the Company maintains compliance with the Company’s security policies and any applicable security regulations. The IT Manager is responsible for: (i) implementing the Company’s security policies; (ii) disseminating the Company’s security policies to all employees; (iii) establishing a training program for all employees and users covered by the Company’s IT security policy to notify them of the Company’s security policies, train and re-train them to comply with the Company’s IT security program, and educate them on the importance of data security; (iv) performing any ongoing testing or analysis of the Company’s security infrastructure, policies, and procedures; and (v) updating the NSP and any other policies and guidelines as needed to comply with applicable regulations and to stay up to date with the changing IT security landscape.

The IT Manager works closely with the Company’s management and executive team to determine the Company’s IT-related needs, to evaluate the sufficiency of the Company’s data-governance policies and practices, to keep the Company’s management informed of notable cybersecurity-related updates, to review its security-related policies, and to identify ways to strengthen the systems and procedures implemented by the Company to detect, assess, and manage data risks.

In the event of the detection of an actual or suspected cybersecurity incident, the Company’s IT Team, lead by the IT Manager, assesses the incident as “minimal”, “low", “moderate” or “high”. Incidents assessed at a minimal or low risk are reported to Company’s management and the Executive Chairman of the Board and the Executive Chairman of the Board may share this information with the Board. Incidents assessed at a moderate or high risk are reported to Company’s management, the Executive Chairman of the Board, and the Company’s Board of Directors.

Notwithstanding the Company’s cybersecurity-related policies, procedures, and governance framework, the ever-present threat of a cyber-attack, data breach, or other security incident is pervasive. The increasingly sophisticated nature of the tactics used to circumvent IT security safeguards makes cybersecurity threats increasingly difficult to detect and respond to. While the Company does not believe its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition have been materially adversely affected by any cybersecurity threats or incidents, there is no assurance that the Company will not be materially affected by such threats or incidents in the future. Accordingly, the Company will continue to monitor cybersecurity risks and strive to invest in and strengthen its cybersecurity infrastructure.

ITEM 6. [RESERVED]

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

American Shared Hospital Services is a leading provider of turn-key technology solutions for stereotactic radiosurgery and advanced radiation therapy equipment and services. The main drivers of the Company’s revenue are numbers of sites, procedure volume, and reimbursement. The Company delivers radiation therapy through medical equipment leasing and direct patient services, its two reportable segments. The medical equipment leasing segment, which we also refer to as the Company’s leasing segment, operates by fee-per-use contracts or revenue sharing contracts where the Company shares in the revenue and operating costs of the equipment. The Company leases seven Gamma Knife systems and one PBRT system as of December 31, 2025, where a contract exists between the hospital and the Company. The Company also owns and operates two single-unit Gamma Knife facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador, one single-unit radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico, and as a result of the completion of the RI Acquisition on May 7, 2024, the Company also has an interest in and operates three single-unit radiation therapy facilities in Rhode Island. These facilities constitute the direct patient services segment, where a contract exists between the Company’s facilities and the individual treated at the facility. A summary of the Company’s medical equipment leases and direct patient service sites is set forth in the table below:

Number of Sites

Revenue Sharing 2 5

Fee Per Use 5 4

Medical Equipment Leasing ("Leasing") - Gamma Knife 7 9

Leasing - Proton Bream Radiation Therapy 1 1

Leasing - Total 8 10

Direct Patient Services - Gamma Knife 2 2

Direct Patient Services - LINAC 4 4

Direct Patient Services - Total 6 6

In February 2025, the Company and one of its customers mutually agreed to terminate their lease agreement prior to the contract term. The Company had one Gamma Knife contract expire in April 2025. The Company expects a third contract to expire in the second quarter of 2026. A summary of the Company’s procedure volumes for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 are set forth in the table below.

Table of Contents

Volume

Increase Increase

Direct Patient Services - Gamma Knife 433 460 (27 ) (5.9 )%

The decrease in Gamma Knife volume during 2025 in the leasing segment was due to the expiration of three contracts in the fourth quarter of 2024, and the first and second quarters of 2025. Same center procedures increased 11% in 2025 compared to 2024, driven by equipment upgrades at two existing customers. The upgrade to the Esprit system allows for treatment of more types of diagnoses. We believe the decrease in PBRT volume during 2025 was due to normal, cyclical fluctuations.

The decrease in Gamma Knife volume during 2025 in the direct patient service segment was due to downtime to upgrade the unit in Peru from a Gamma Knife Model 4(C) to the Gamma Knife Esprit. The facility also relocated its physical location and incurred downtime to modify the new space to accommodate the Esprit unit.

The increase in LINAC procedure volume during 2025 was the result of the completion of the RI Acquisition in May 2024 and the beginning of the Company’s treatment of patients at its LINAC facility in Puebla, Mexico. On May 7, 2024, the Company acquired 60% of the interests of the RI Companies. The RI Companies operate three, existing, stand-alone radiation therapy cancer centers in Woonsocket, Warwick and Providence, Rhode Island. In July 2024, the Company began treating patients at a stand-alone LINAC facility in Puebla, Mexico. All four LINAC locations operated for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to a partial period during 2024.

Reimbursement

CMS established a 2026 delivery code reimbursement rate of approximately $7,525 ($7,645 in 2025) for a Medicare Gamma Knife treatment. The approximate CMS reimbursement rates for delivery of PBRT for a simple treatment without compensation for 2026 is $565 ($578 in 2025) and $1,277 ($1,276 in 2025) for simple with compensation, intermediate and complex treatments, respectively.

On September 29, 2020, CMS published a final rule that would have implemented a new mandatory payment model for radiation oncology services delivered to certain Medicare beneficiaries: the RO APM. On August 29, 2022, CMS published a final rule that delayed the start date of the RO APM to a date to be determined through future rulemaking and amended the definition of “model performance period” to provide that the start and end dates of the five-year model performance period will be established by CMS through future rulemaking. If the RO APM had not been delayed, it would have significantly altered CMS’ payment methodology from a fee for service paradigm to a set reimbursement by cancer type methodology for radiation services provided within a 90 day episode of care. Under the RO APM, hospital based and free-standing radiation therapy providers would have been required to participate in the model based on whether the radiation therapy provider is located within a randomly selected core-based statistical area. At this time, it is not clear if the RO APM will be implemented and, if it is implemented, the timing for implementation and in what form it will be implemented. If a start date for the RO APM is proposed, CMS will provide at least six months’ notice in advance of the proposed start date, and the proposed start date will be subject to public comment.

In addition, in March 2025, bipartisan legislation known as the ROCR Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The ROCR Act would require CMS to establish a new, specialized payment program under Medicare pursuant to which radiation therapy providers and suppliers would receive bundled payments for episodes of care provided to individuals with specified cancer types (with each episode of care generally beginning at the time radiation therapy planning is furnished and ending 30 or 90 days later depending on the type of cancer being treated). The proposed program is intended to implement a case-rate payment methodology and has been described by industry participants as a more simplified alternative to the RO APM. The ROCR model would cover primarily EBRT modalities for the 15 most common cancer types. However, unlike the RO APM, proton beam radiation therapy services would remain outside the ROCR model and would remain subject to fee-for-service reimbursement. As a result, reimbursement for services involving the Company’s PBRT system would fall outside the scope of the ROCR Act as currently contemplated, while reimbursement for services involving the Company’s Gamma Knife units (which provide a specialized form of EBRT) would likely be subject to the ROCR Act program. The ROCR Act remains pending, and it is uncertain whether it will be enacted or, if enacted, the timing, scope, or ultimate form of any such program or its impact on the Company’s business.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the consolidated financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 2 – Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements. These policies along with the disclosures presented in the other consolidated financial statement notes and, in this discussion, and analysis, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the consolidated financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of the consolidated financial statement amounts and the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified estimated useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of property and equipment, business combinations, and revenue recognition for revenue sharing customers, and as such the aforementioned could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available. The following are our critical accounting policies in which management’s estimates, assumptions and judgments most directly and materially affect the consolidated financial statements:

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 Leases (“ASC 842”) and ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company delivers radiation therapy through medical equipment leasing (“leasing”) and direct patient services. The Company leased seven Gamma Knife systems and one PBRT system as of December 31, 2025. The leasing business operates by fee-per-use contracts or revenue sharing, where the Company shares in the revenue and operating costs of the equipment. The Company also owns and operates two single-unit Gamma Knife facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, Ecuador, one single-unit radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico, and following the RI Acquisition on May 7, 2024, the Company also owns a 60% interest in and operates three single-unit radiation therapy facilities in Rhode Island, collectively, the direct patient service segment.

Rental Revenue from Medical Equipment Leasing (“Leasing”)

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 lease contracts typically have a ten-year term and are classified as either fee per use or revenue sharing. Fee per use 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. Some of the Company’s revenue sharing arrangements also have a cost sharing component and net profit share for the operating costs of the center. 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 and profit. The operating costs and estimated net operating profit are recorded as other direct operating costs in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended, December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized leasing revenue of approximately $12,553,000 and $15,629,000 under ASC 842, respectively, of which approximately $7,369,000 and $9,952,000 were for PBRT services, respectively.

Revenue sharing arrangements amounted to approximately 36% and 47% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Because the revenue estimates are reviewed on a quarterly basis, any adjustments required for past revenue estimates would result in an increase or reduction in revenue during the current quarterly period. Payor mix is a significant variable in the Company’s estimate for revenue sharing revenues. Fluctuations in payor mix that may result in a 5% to 10% change in the estimate could increase or decrease revenues as of December 31, 2025, by approximately $101,000 to $202,000.

Direct Patient Services Revenue

The Company has stand-alone facilities in Lima, Peru and Guayaquil, 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 between six and nine months, following issuance of invoice. The Company did not capitalize any incremental costs related to the fulfillment of its customer contracts.

On May 7, 2024, the Company acquired 60% of the interests of the RI Companies. The RI Companies operate three, existing, stand-alone radiation therapy cancer centers in Woonsocket, Warwick and Providence, Rhode Island, where contracts exist between the Company’s facilities and the individual patients treated at the facility. Under ASC 606, the Company acts as the principal in these transactions and provides, at a point in time, a single performance obligation, in the form of radiation therapy treatment. The Company’s stand alone radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico is also accounted for under ASC 606. Revenue related to radiation therapy is recognized at the expected amount to be received, based on insurance contracts and payor mix, 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. Payment terms at these facilities are typically prepaid for self-pay patients and insurance providers are paid net 30 to 60 days. The Company did not capitalize any incremental costs related to the fulfillment of its customer contracts. The Company also concluded these facilities are part of its direct patient service segment, see further discussion below.

Accounts receivable under ASC 606 at December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2025 were $8,138,000 and $6,073,000. Accounts receivable under ASC 606 at December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2024 were $6,073,000 and $1,626,000. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized direct patient service revenues of approximately $15,529,000 and $12,556,000 under ASC 606, respectively.

Equipment Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold one of its Gamma Knife Perfexion units with an Icon upgrade to the customer it was leased to and recorded a net gain on equipment sale. The Company assessed this transaction under ASC 606 and concluded the Company acted as the agent in this transaction and provided, at a point in time, a single performance obligation, in the form of an equipment sale of an Icon. The performance obligation to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the equipment to the customer was carried out via Elekta. Revenue related to the equipment sale is recognized on a net basis when the sale is complete. The Company recognized net revenues of $155,000 on the sale of equipment for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events or changes in circumstances may include: a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used, significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of a long-lived asset, current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset, or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company assesses recoverability of a long-lived asset by determining whether the carrying value of the asset group can be recovered through projected undiscounted cash flows over their remaining lives. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the forecasted undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized, measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds estimated fair value. An impairment loss is charged to the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which management determines such impairment. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a loss on the write down of impaired assets of $0 and $3,084,000, respectively. Fluctuations in the Company’s projections of cash flows may result in a 5% to 10% change in the impairment write-down by approximately $87,000 to $174,000, as of December 31, 2024.

See Note 3 - Property and Equipment for further discussion.

Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for under ASC 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, all assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets, liabilities assumed and applicable non-controlling interests are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Costs incurred associated with the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred. The allocation of purchase price requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to tangible assets, any intangible assets identified and non-controlling interests. These estimates include, but are not limited to, a market participant’s expectation of future cash flows from acquired customers, acquired trade names, useful lives of acquired assets, and discount rates. Physical deterioration and asset replacement costs were significant variables in the Company’s estimate for fair value of the medical equipment acquired. Fluctuations in these variables may result in a 5% to 10% change in the estimate, which could increase or decrease the fair value of medical equipment acquired as of December 31, 2024, by approximately $120,000 to $240,000. Lease term, renewal of lease terms, square footage allocation, and market lease rates were significant variables in the Company’s estimate for fair value of the facilities acquired. Fluctuations in these variables may result in a 5% to 10% change in the estimate, which could increase or decrease the fair value of leaseholds acquired as of December 31, 2024, by approximately $235,000 to $470,000.

See Note 12 - Rhode Island Acquisition to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on acquisitions.

Accounting pronouncements issued andadopted - In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) which requires entities, on an annual basis, to disclose: specific categories in the rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by jurisdiction, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax, income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated between foreign and domestic, and income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and enhanced its disclosure requirements, accordingly. See Note 7 - Income Taxes for further discussion.

Accounting pronouncements issued andnotyet adopted - In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense DisaggregationDisclosures (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires entities to 1. disclose amounts of (a) purchase of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and, (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil-and gas-producing activities, 2. include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the same disclosures as other disaggregation requirements, 3. disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not necessarily disaggregated quantitatively, and 4. disclose the total amount of selling expenses, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expense. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”) which provides (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities, with an accounting policy election when estimating credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2025-05 to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

2025 Results

For each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 45% and 56% of the Company’s revenue was derived from the leasing segment, respectively, and 55% and 44% from the Company’s direct patient service segment, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 41% of the Company’s revenue was derived from its LINAC business, 33% was derived from its Gamma Knife business, and 26% was derived from its PBRT business. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 35% was derived from its PBRT business, 34% of the Company’s revenue was derived from its Gamma Knife business, 30% was derived from its LINAC business, and 1% was derived from equipment sales.

Table of Contents

TOTAL REVENUE

Increase

Total revenue in 2025 increased 0.9% compared to 2024 primarily due to revenue generated from the Company’ssingle-unit radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico, which began treating patients in July 2024, and revenue generated by the three single-unit radiation therapy facilities owned by the RI Companies, which the Company acquired a 60% interest in on May 7, 2024. Revenues from the Company’s leasing segment decreased $3,076,000 in 2025 compared to 2024 due to a decrease in PBRT volumes and due to the expiration of three Gamma Knife contracts in the fourth quarter of 2024, first quarter of 2025, and second quarter of 2025. Revenues from the Company’s direct patient service segment increased by $2,973,000 in 2025 compared to 2024 due to the Company’s single-unit facility in Puebla, Mexico and the three, recently acquired, radiation therapy facilities in Rhode Island.

LINAC Revenue

Increase

Average revenue per session $ 410 (29.5 )% $ 581

The Company acquired the RI Companies on May 7, 2024 and included the financial results from their operations from May 7, 2024, the closing date of the transaction, through December 31, 2024. The Company’s stand-alone radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico also began treating patients in July 2024. These facilities were consolidated with the Company’s operations or otherwise operated for the twelve-month period ended December, 31, 2025, versus operating under the Company for a partial period in the prior year, driving the increase in radiation therapy revenue and LINAC sessions.

Proton Therapy Revenue

Increase

Revenue from PBRT (in thousands) $ 7,369 (26.0 )% $ 9,952

Average revenue per fraction $ 1,817 (6.2 )% $ 1,937

PBRT revenue for 2025 was $7,369,000 compared to $9,952,000 in 2024. The number of PBRT fractions performed in 2025 was 4,056 compared to 5,139 in 2024. Revenue per fraction in 2025 was $1,817 compared to $1,937 in 2024. Lower volumes during 2025 drove lower revenues. We believe the lower procedure volume during 2025 was due to normal, cyclical fluctuations.

Gamma Knife Revenue

Increase

Revenue from Gamma Knife (in thousands) $ 9,185 (5.5 )% $ 9,716

Number of Gamma Knife procedures 937 (13.6 )% 1,084

Average revenue per procedure $ 9,803 9.4 % $ 8,963

Gamma Knife revenue for 2025 was $9,185,000 compared to $9,716,000 in 2024. Gamma Knife revenue for 2025 decreased $531,000 compared to 2024 due to the expiration of a total of three contracts in the fourth quarter of 2024, first quarter of 2025, and second quarter of 2025, respectively.

The number of Gamma Knife procedures performed in 2025 decreased by 147 compared to 2024 primarily due to the expiration of a total of three contracts in the fourth quarter of 2024, first quarter of 2025, and second quarter of 2025, respectively. Excluding the three Gamma Knife contracts that expired during 2024 and 2025, Gamma Knife procedures for existing sites increased 2% compared to the prior year. Overall, Gamma Knife procedures for existing customer sites, direct patient service segment, decreased by 6%, offset by an 11% increase in the Company’s Gamma Knife leasing segment in 2025 compared to 2024, respectively. The decrease in Gamma Knife volumes from direct patient service sites was due to downtime to upgrade the Gamma Knife in Peru from a Model 4(C) to the Esprit, and to relocate the facility location as part of the upgrade.

Revenue per procedure increased by $840 in 2025 compared to 2024. This increase was due to changes in reimbursement at the Company’s revenue share sites, which can fluctuate depending on payor mix and volume of procedures by site.

Maintenance and supplies and other direct operating costs, related party, as a percentage of total revenue were 13.4% and 10.7% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Maintenance and supplies and other direct operating costs, related party increased by $740,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to maintenance at the Company’s radiation therapy facilities in Rhode Island, that were acquired during 2024, and maintenance for the Company’s LINAC equipment in Puebla, Mexico which was under warranty through May 2025.

Depreciation and amortization costs as a percentage of total revenue were 20.3% and 21.4% in 2025 and 2024. Depreciation and amortization costs decreased by $376,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in 2025 compared to 2024 was due to the expiration of three contracts in the fourth quarter of 2024, first quarter of 2025, and second quarter of 2025, respectively, offset by higher depreciation expense driven by an upgrade at one of the Company’s existing locations, the RI Acquisition where the Company acquired three, existing, single-unit radiation therapy facilities, and the Company’s radiation therapy in Puebla, Mexico which began treating patients July 2024.

These facilities are part of the Company’s direct patient service segment where the Company owns and operates the facilities, therefore, there are higher operating costs associated with them.

Filing HTML rendered to line-structured narrative text by the shipped reducer (datafeeds.edgar_fulltext.visible_text, keep_table_headers=True): scripts and inline-XBRL headers are dropped, and table content is reduced to its short label cells — numeric table data is not rendered and is therefore not counted. The same rendering is used for every year, so a year-over-year comparison is like for like.

The text is our rendering of the filing, not a facsimile: original pagination, typography and tables are not reproduced, and the numbers live in the financial statements (FA).

The outline locates item HEADINGS in this document. Only Items 1A and 7 have certified boundaries elsewhere in the terminal (the redline and the narrative-overlap number); every span here runs from one heading found to the next heading found.

How the outline was chosen. It is the longest chain of item headings that runs forward through both the document and the standard item order: 23 headings are on that chain and 17 further heading-shaped lines are not — the table-of-contents echo of every item, cross-references and exhibit-list mentions. Each entry's length is measured from its heading to the next heading on the chain.
