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.

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:

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.

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.

COSTS OF REVENUE
Increase
Percentage of total revenue 82.0 % 67.6 %
The Company’s costs of revenue, consisting of maintenance and supplies, depreciation and amortization, and other operating expenses (such as insurance, property taxes, sales taxes, marketing costs and operating costs from the Company’s revenue sharing and international sites) increased by $3,863,000 in 2025 compared to 2024.
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.
Other direct operating costs as a percentage of total revenue were 48.3% and 35.5% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other direct operating costs increased by $3,499,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase in 2025 was due to the Company’ssingle-unit radiation therapy facility in Puebla, Mexico, which began treating patients in July 2024, and the three single-unit radiation therapy facilities the Company acquired in Rhode Island on May 7, 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.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
Increase
Selling and administrative expense $ 7,078 (4.4 )% $ 7,407
Percentage of total revenue 25.2 % 26.1 %
The Company’s selling and administrative costs decreased by $329,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in 2025 was due to fees associated with new business opportunities, including those resulting from the RI Acquisition, incurred in the prior year only, offset by increased staffing in the sales, finance and customer retention areas that continued into 2025.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Increase
Percentage of total revenue 5.6 % 5.3 %
The Company’s interest expense increased $75,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2025 was due to an increase in borrowings, primarily the Second Supplemental Term Loan received in December 2024.

LOSS ON WRITE DOWN OF IMPAIRED ASSETS AND ASSOCIATED REMOVAL COSTS
Increase
Loss on write down of impaired assets $ — * $ 3,084
Percentage of total revenue 0.0 % 10.9 %
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. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized impairment on six of its domestic Gamma Knife units. The Company also increased and impaired its ARO liability for one of the impaired units where the Company does not plan to renew the contract in early 2026 and will remove this unit at its contract term. The six sites that were impaired and ARO for one of the impaired units were recorded as write down of impaired assets as of December 31, 2024. The Company also reviewed its long-lived assets during the fourth quarter of 2025 and concluded no events or circumstances existed that indicated additional impairment existed at December 31, 2025.
See Note 3 - Property and Equipment to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on impairment.
BARGAIN PURCHASE GAIN RI ACQUISITION
Increase
Bargain purchase gain RI Acquisition, net $ — * $ 3,794
Percentage of total revenue 0.00 % 13.4 %
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $3,794,000 net bargain purchase gain related to the RI Acquisition that closed on May 7, 2024. The Company acquired 60% of the equity interests of the RI Companies, which operate three radiation therapy facilities, for $2,850,000. The assets acquired exceeded the total purchase price by the bargain purchase amount and the Company recorded this difference as a gain for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 12 - RI Acquisition to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on bargain purchase.
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME
Increase
Percentage of total revenue 1.3 % 0.9 %
Interest and other income increased $120,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase is primarily due to favorable exchange rates for the US dollar compared to the Mexican peso during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company maintains most of its cash in Mexico in the local currency.
INCOME TAX BENEFIT
Increase
Percentage of total revenue (1.8 )% (1.0 )%
Income tax benefit increased $198,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase in the income tax benefit in 2025 was primarily due to losses incurred by both the Company’s leasing and direct patient services segments, driven by lower PBRT and Gamma Knife procedure volumes during 2025.
The Company anticipates that it will record income tax expense if it operates profitably in the future. Currently there are state income tax payments required for most states in which the Company operates.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
Increase
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests $ (1,174 ) 79.5 % $ (654 )
Percentage of total revenue (4.2 )% (2.3 )%
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests increased $520,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests represents the pre-tax income earned by the 19% non-controlling interest in GKF, and the pre-tax income or losses of the non-controlling interests in various subsidiaries controlled by GKF, the 40% non-controlling interests in the RI facilities and their pre-tax income or losses, and the 15% non-controlling interest in the Company’s joint venture in Puebla, Mexico and its net income or loss. The decrease or increase in net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests reflects the relative profitability of GKF, the RI Companies, and Puebla. The increase in net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in 2025 compared to 2024 was due to higher pre-tax loss for GKF stand-alone operations and the RI facilities.
NET (LOSS) INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES
(In thousands, Increase
except per share amounts) 2025 (Decrease) 2024
(Loss) earnings attributable to ASHS $ (1,553 ) (171.0 )% $ 2,186
The Company incurred a net loss attributable to American Shared Hospital Services of $1,553,000 in 2025 compared to net income of $2,186,000 in 2024. The Company’s direct patient segment incurred a net loss of $1,167,000 in 2025 compared to net income of $5,566,000 in 2024. Net income in 2024 was primarily due to the bargain purchase gain from the RI Acquisition and profitability of the three stand-alone facilities acquired, in which the Company acquired an interest. The Company’s direct patient segment incurred a net loss in 2025, primarily due to physician turnover at the RI facilities, which impacted volumes during the year. Also, the Company experienced equipment downtime in Peru to upgrade its equipment in July 2025. Net loss for the Company’s leasing segment decreased $2,994,000 in 2025 to a loss of $386,000 compared to a loss of $3,380,000 in 2024. The decrease in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to the impairment recognized in the prior year on the Gamma Knife portfolio and related removal costs, along with operating losses at the domestic Gamma Knife leasing segment level.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures as well as support working capital requirements. In general, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $3,712,000 at December 31, 2025 compared to $11,275,000 at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $7,563,000. The Company’s expected primary cash needs on both a short and long-term basis are for capital expenditures, business expansion, working capital, and other general corporate purposes.
Cash Flows
Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Operating activities provided $3,098,000 of cash in 2025, which was driven by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $5,714,000, stock-based compensation expense of $404,000, accretion of deferred issuance costs of $126,000, net changes in lease liabilities of $285,000, changes in related party liabilities of $207,000, and changes in prepaids and other assets of $1,677,000. These increases were offset by a net loss of $2,727,000, accretion of unfavorable lease position of $26,000, changes in receivables of $559,000, and changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $955,000.
The Company’s trade accounts receivable decreased by $1,089,000 to $10,521,000 at December 31, 2025 from $11,610,000 at December 31, 2024. The number of days revenue (sales) outstanding (“DSO”) in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 was 137 days compared to 150 days at December 31, 2024. DSO fluctuates depending on timing of customer payments received and the mix of fee per use versus revenue sharing or direct patient service customers. The revenue sharing and direct patient service sites generally have longer collection periods than fee per use sites. The Company added four direct patient service sites during 2024, driving the increase in DSO.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Investing activities used $7,634,000 of cash in 2025, due to payments made towards the purchase of property and equipment. During 2025, the Company completed two Esprit upgrades at existing customer sites.
Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
Financing activities used $3,027,000 of cash during 2025, which was driven by payments on long-term debt of $3,014,000 and distributions to non-controlling interests of $21,000. These decreases were offset by capital contributions from non-controlling interests of $8,000.
Working Capital
The Company had a working capital deficit at December 31, 2025 of $5,724,000 compared to working capital of $15,853,000 at December 31, 2024. The $21,577,000 decrease in net working capital was primarily due to decreasing cash and an increase in the current portion of long-term debt, net, specifically following the notification from Fifth Third asserting an event of default under the Credit Agreements. The Company’s Credit Agreement with Fifth Third matures in April 2026, and, although the Company is optimistic it will be able to negotiate an extension to the Credit Agreement, if the Company is unable to do so, the Company’s liquidity will be adversely impacted and the Company’s ability to satisfy all of its commitments over the next twelve months in accordance with their current terms would be jeopardized. See additional discussion in the “Commitments” section below.
The Company, in the past, has secured financing for its projects from several lenders and anticipates that it will be able to secure financing on future projects from these or other lending sources, but there can be no assurance that financing will continue to be available on acceptable terms. If the Company’s payment obligations under the Credit Agreements become accelerated due to the events of default under such agreements, the Company would not have sufficient cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and other cash resources to satisfy such accelerated payment obligations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See additional discussion in the “Long-Term Debt” and “Going-Concern Consideration” sections below.

Long-Term Debt
On April 9, 2021, ASHS, Orlando, GKF (collectively, the Borrowers), and ASRS (together with the Borrowers, collectively, the Loan Parties) entered into a five-year $22,000,000 Credit Agreement with Fifth Third Bank, N.A. Unless otherwise stated, capitalized terms that are used in this “Long-Term Debt” section but not defined here or elsewhere in this Annual Report have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement, as amended. The Credit Agreement includes three loan Facilities. The first loan facility is a $9,500,000 Term Loan, which was used to refinance the domestic Gamma Knife debt and finance leases and for associated closing costs. The second loan facility is a $5,500,000 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 available for future projects and general corporate purposes. The Facilities have a five-year maturity, which mature on April 9, 2026, carry a floating interest of SOFR plus 3.0% (6.99% as of December 31, 2025), 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 the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Agreement to add a Supplemental Term Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $2,700,000. 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 has a Maturity Date of January 25, 2030. 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 replaces 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%.
On December 18, 2024, the Company and Fifth Third entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Agreement to add a Second Supplemental Term Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000. 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 is 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.
The long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets related to the Term Loan, DDTL, Supplemental Term Loan and Second Supplemental Term Loan was $16,197,000 and $18,462,000 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $164,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to issuance of the Supplemental Term Loan and Second Supplemental Term Loan.
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 the Minimum Cash Covenant under the Credit Agreement, which is an obligation to maintain minimum unrestricted domestic cash and Cash Equivalents of at least an aggregate of $5,000,000. 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. However, there can be no assurances regarding the outcome of such discussions.
The DFC Loan entered into with DFC in connection with the acquisition of GKCE in June 2020 was obtained through a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASHS, HoldCo, and is guaranteed by GKF. The DFC Loan is secured by a lien on GKCE’s assets. The first tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in June 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the second tranche of the DFC loan was funded 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 long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets related to the DFC loan was $1,149,000 and $1,806,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any debt issuance costs during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to maintenance and administrative fees on the DFC Loan.
The DFC Loan contains customary covenants among other covenants and obligations, requirements that 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. 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. Total long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets related to the GKCE Loans was $53,000 and $145,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 described above, 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.
The Company’s combined long-term debt, net, totaled
$17,294,000 as of
December 31, 2025. See Note 5 - Long Term Debt to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Going-Concern Consideration
The Company believes it will be able to negotiate an extension to the Credit Agreement, however, if the Company is unable to do so, the Company’s liquidity will be adversely impacted and the Company’s ability to satisfy all of its commitments over the next twelve months in accordance with their current terms would be jeopardized. Despite management’s belief, 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. If such acceleration were to occur, the Company would not have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy the accelerated payment obligations. As a result of these conditions, in connection with management’s assessment of going-concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, should Fifth Third and DFC accelerate all payment obligations. This 10-K does not contain any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Commitments
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had commitments to purchase and install Gamma Knife and LINAC equipment totaling $7,884,000. There are no significant cash requirements, pending financing, for these commitments in the next 12 months. There can be no assurance that financing will be available for the Company’s current or future projects, or at terms that are acceptable to the Company.
The Company also had commitments to service its operating equipment totaling $7,114,000. The Gamma Knife, PBRT, LINAC and related service contracts are paid monthly, as service is performed. The Company believes that cash flow from operations and cash on hand will be sufficient to cover these payments. See Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on commitments.
Related Party Transactions
The Company’s Gamma Knife business is operated through its 81% indirect interest in its GKF subsidiary. The remaining 19% of GKF is owned by a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Elekta, which is the manufacturer of the Gamma Knife. Since the Company purchases its Gamma Knife units from Elekta, there are significant related party transactions with Elekta such as equipment purchases, commitments to purchase and service equipment, and costs to de-install and maintain the equipment.
The following summarizes related party activity for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
December 31,
The Company had related party commitments to purchase and install two Esprit upgrades, one LINAC, and service the related equipment. Total related party commitments were $10,754,000 as of December 31, 2025.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
American Shared Hospital Services, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Shared Hospital Services (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has defaulted on its debt that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidatedfinancial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidatedfinancial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits providea reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Rental Revenue from Medical Equipment Leasing – Estimates of Reimbursement Rates
As described in Note 2 in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company has rental revenue from medical equipment leasing on either a fee per use or revenue sharing basis. Under revenue sharing arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue based on 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. Under fee per use arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue at the time the procedures are performed, based on each hospital’s contracted rate and number of procedures performed. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $12.6 million in rental revenue from medical equipment leasing.
We identified the auditing of management’s estimates of reimbursement rates to record rental revenue from medical equipment leasing and related accounts receivable under its revenue sharing arrangements as a critical audit matter. The estimates of reimbursement rates involve significant judgment and estimation by management and are subject to adjustments based on the actual reimbursements received. In turn, auditing management’s judgments used in the estimates of reimbursement rates involved a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures.
F- 1
Table of Contents
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures related to the matter included the following, among others:
● Testing the process used by management, including evaluating the methods used.
● Testing the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management by:
o Testing cash receipts subsequent to year end.
Valuation of Property and Equipment
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. 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 and measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s balance of property and equipment was $31.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that property and equipment was not impaired.
We identified the auditing of the Company’s impairment assessment for property and equipment as a critical audit matter. Auditing the Company’s impairment assessment for its property and equipment is especially challenging due to the high degree of auditor judgment in evaluating management’s indicators of potential impairment for certain asset groups and determining the future cash flows and estimated fair values, where applicable, for certain asset groups where indicators of impairment were determined to be present.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures related to the matter included the following, among others:
/s/ Baker Tilly US, LLP
San Francisco, California
March 31, 2026
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2000.

NOTE 2– ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements – In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and its salvage values, impairment of property and equipment, the obligation to remove this equipment at contract term (ARO), business combinations, and revenue recognition for revenue sharing customers. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising and marketing – The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred (collectively, “marketing costs”). Marketing costs were $116,000 and $98,000 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Marketing costs include joint marketing with customers and corporate advertising costs. Marketing costs are recorded in other direct operating costs and sales and administrative costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Sales and Service – The Company markets its financial and turn-key solutions directly to cancer treatment centers, hospitals, and large cancer networks worldwide through its sales staff. Sales expense includes payroll and travel costs for the Company’s sales staff. The Company also typically provides the equipment, as well as planning, installation, reimbursement and marketing support services to its customers.
Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is not considered a cash equivalent for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Restricted cash – Restricted cash represents the minimum cash that must be maintained in GKF to fund operations, per the subsidiary’s operating agreement and the minimum cash that must be maintained by GKF per its financing agreement with the United States International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”). See further discussion at Note 5 - Long Term Debt.
Business and credit risk – The Company maintains its cash balances, which exceed federally insured limits, in financial institutions. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions it uses on a regular basis.
All of the Company’s revenue was provided by15 locations or 1 PBRT unit, 4 LINACs and 10 Gamma Knife units in 2025 and by 17 locations or 1 PBRT unit, 4 LINACs and 12 Gamma Knife units in 2024. 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. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from individual customers or groups of customers in any particular geographic area.
All of the Company’s radiosurgery devices have been purchased through Elekta, to date. However, there are other manufacturers that also make radiosurgery devices.
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses – Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. An allowance for credit losses is estimated based on historical collections plus an allowance for expected losses. Receivables are considered past due based on contractual terms and are charged off in the period that they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are offset against bad debt expense when received.
The Company had an allowance for credit losses of $980,000 at December 31, 2025 and $265,000 at December 31, 2024. The Company increased its allowance by $715,000 during 2025 to account for receivables deemed uncollectible on patient accounts in the direct patient service segment. The increase to the reserve in 2025 is reflected in other direct operating costs in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no accounts charged against the allowance for credit losses during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Non-controlling interests - The Company reports its non-controlling interests as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Non-controlling interest is determined by the income (loss) multiplied by the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries, and the income or losses of the non-controlling interests in the RI Companies, in Puebla, and in the various subsidiaries controlled by GKF. The Company also presents the consolidated net income and the portion of the consolidated net income (loss) allocable to the non-controlling interests and to the shareholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations.
Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for Gamma Knife and other equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which for medical and office equipment is generally 3 – 10 years, and after accounting for salvage value on the equipment where applicable. The Company acquired a building as part of the acquisition of GKCE in June 2020. Depreciation for buildings is determined using the straight-line method over 20 years. The Company determines salvage value based on the estimated fair value of the equipment at the end of its useful life. As of December 31, 2024, the Company reduced its estimate of salvage value for all seven Gamma Knife units to $0. This change was made as of December 31, 2024, therefore there was no impact from the change in estimate for the year-ended December 31, 2024, but this change in estimate will impact future periods.
Depreciation for PBRT and related equipment is determined using the modified units of production method, which is a function of both time and usage of the equipment. This depreciation method allocates costs considering the projected volume of usage through the useful life of the PBRT unit, which has been estimated at 20 years. The estimated useful life of the PBRT unit is consistent with the estimated economic life of 20 years.
The Company leases Gamma Knife and radiation therapy equipment to its customers under arrangements accounted for as operating leases. At December 31, 2025, the Company held equipment under operating lease contracts with customers with an original cost of $53,128,000 and accumulated depreciation of $36,665,000. At December 31, 2024, the Company held equipment under operating lease contracts with customers with an original cost of $54,266,000 and accumulated depreciation of $37,002,000.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss on the write down of impaired assets $3,084,000. The Company reviewed its long-lived assets during the fourth quarter of 2024 and concluded events and circumstances existed that indicated six of the Company’s domestic Gamma Knife units were impaired. One of the assets was partially impaired in the prior year and is now fully impaired, and the Company expects to remove this equipment prior to the contract term. The Company also increased and impaired its asset removal obligation (“ARO”) liability for one of the impaired units where the Company does not plan to renew the contract in early 2026 and will remove this unit at its contract term. The six sites that were impaired and ARO for two of the impaired sites, were recorded as write down of impaired assets for the December 31, 2024. Total ARO impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $450,000. Total equipment impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $2,634,000. The Company also reviewed its long-lived assets during the fourth quarter of 2025 and concluded events and circumstances indicated no additional impairment existed

NOTE 2– ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue recognition - The Company recognizes revenues under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842Leases (“ASC 842”) and ASC 606Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
Rental income 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
70% 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.
Direct patient services income – 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 equity 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 obligations, in the form of an equipment sale of an Icon. 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.
Stock-based compensation – The Company measures all stock-based compensation awards at fair value and records such expense in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the related award. See Note 8 - Stock-Based Compensation Expense for additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation programs.
Costs of revenue – The Company’s costs of revenue consist primarily of maintenance and supplies, depreciation and amortization, and other operating expenses (such as insurance, property taxes, sales taxes, marketing costs and operating costs from the Company’s revenue sharing and direct patient service sites). Costs of revenue are recognized as incurred.
Income taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

NOTE 2– ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes as required by the provisions of ASC 740Income taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires the Company to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company’s tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
See Note 7 - Income Taxes for further discussion on income taxes.
Business Combinations - Business combinations are accounted for under ASC 805Business 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. See Note 12 - Rhode Island Acquisition to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on acquisitions.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments - Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in one of the three following categories, which are described below:
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market.
Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets.
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment and our own assumptions about market participants and pricing.
The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Functional currency – Based on guidance provided in accordance with ASC 830,Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”), the Company analyzes its operations outside the United States to determine the functional currency of each operation. Management has determined that these operations are accounted for in U.S. dollars since the primary transactions incurred are in U.S. dollars and the Company provides significant funding towards the startup of the operation. When Management determines that an operation has become predominantly self-sufficient, the Company will reassess its accounting for the operation to the local currency from the U.S. dollar. The Company analyzed its Gamma Knife site in Peru and its startup operations in Mexico for Puebla under ASC 830 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and concluded the functional currency was the U.S. dollar. As facts and circumstances change, the Company will reassess this conclusion. The functional currency of the Company’s Gamma Knife site in Ecuador is the U.S. dollar because that is the local currency of Ecuador.
Asset Retirement Obligations – Based on the guidance provided in ASC 410,Asset Retirement Obligations (“ASC 410”), the Company analyzed its existing lease agreements and determined whether an ARO exists to remove the respective units at the end of the lease terms. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had two AROs recorded for the two customer sites, one expired in February 2025 and the second will expire in May 2026, totaling $1,200,000. One ARO was recorded and impaired in a prior period. The Company recorded and impaired the ARO for the second customer site during 2024.No liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2025 for the remaining Gamma Knife or PBRT locations, because it is uncertain these units will be removed at the end of the lease term. The Company will re-evaluate the need to record additional ARO liabilities on a periodic basis when facts and circumstances change that could affect this conclusion.
Asset retirement obligations, included in related party liabilities, were $1,200,000 and $1,200,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following illustrates the change in asset retirement obligations, related party as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Earnings per share – The Company calculates diluted shares using the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. The fully vested restricted stock units not issued and outstanding are also included therein. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if common shares were issued pursuant to the exercise of options and from unvested restricted stock units. Because the Company reported a loss for the year-ended December 31, 2025, the potentially dilutive effects of approximately 18,000 of the Company’s stock options and 161,000 of the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards were not considered for the reporting period. The computation for the year ended December 31, 2024 included all of the Company’s stock options outstanding because the exercise price of the options was less than the average market price during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, included approximately 123,000 and 123,000, respectively, of the Company’s restricted stock awards that are fully vested but are deferred for issuance.
The following table illustrates the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Denominator:
(Loss) earnings per common share- basic $ (0.23 ) $ 0.34
(Loss) earnings per common share- diluted $ (0.23 ) $ 0.33
Business segment information - Based on the guidance provided in accordance with ASC 280Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company analyzed its subsidiaries which are all in the business of providing radiosurgery and radiation therapy services, either through leasing to healthcare providers or directly to patients, and concluded there are two reportable segments, leasing and direct patient service. During 2025, the Company provided Gamma Knife and PBRT equipment to eleven hospitals in the United States, which constitutes the leasing segment. As of December 31, 2025, the Company 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, which collectively constitute the direct patient segment.

An operating segment is defined by ASC 280 as it engages in business activities in which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, its operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and its discrete financial information is available. The Company determined two reportable segments existed due to similarities in economics of business operations and how the Company recognizes revenue for the patient treatment. The type of equipment varies by segment, but the method for recognizing revenue is the same. The operating results of the two reportable segments are reviewed by the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board, who is also the CODM.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s PBRT operations represented a significant majority of the net income attributable to American Shared Hospital Services from the leasing segment, disclosed below.

Long lived asset impairment – 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. See Note 3 - Property and Equipment for further discussion.
Goodwill and intangible assets - The Company recorded goodwill of $1,265,000 and an intangible asset with a fair value of $78,000 as part of the acquisition of GKCE in June 2020. The intangible asset identified was GKCE’s trade name and the Company assigned an indefinite useful life to the asset. Based on the guidance provided in accordance with ASC 350Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the Company does not amortize the intangible asset because it has an indefinite life. The Company assesses goodwill at the reporting unit level, which has been determined to be direct patient services. Each reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life for the intangible asset. Per ASC 350, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually or as events or circumstances change that indicate the fair value may be below the carrying amount. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there has been no change to the Company’s assessment of the value of intangible assets or goodwill.
Accounting pronouncements issued andadopted - In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09Income 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, prospectively, 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 2024-03Income 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 2025-05Measurement 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.
Reclassifications - Certain comparative balances as of December 31, 2024 have been reclassified to make them consistent with the current year presentation.
Liquidity - 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”). The loan entered into with United States International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”) in connection with the acquisition of GKCE in June 2020 (the “DFC Loan”; together with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) was obtained through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, HoldCo and is guaranteed by GKF. On December 10, 2025, the Loan Parties received a notice from Fifth Third asserting that an Event of Default (as defined) occurred under the Credit Agreement due to the Borrower's failure to maintain minimum unrestricted domestic cash of at least an aggregate of $5,000,000. The Credit Agreement matures on April 9, 2026 and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties and is guaranteed by ASHS. ASHS is currently in discussions with Fifth Third regarding a potential extension of the maturity of the Credit Agreement. 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 Credit Agreement, the Company will not have sufficient cash on hand to repay the Facilities at maturity. See Note 5 - “Long Term Debt” for additional information.
The Company reassessed its ability to continue as a going concern in light of the Event of Default. 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. 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 believes it will be able to negotiate an extension to the Credit Agreement, however, if the Company is unable to do so, the Company’s liquidity will be adversely impacted and the Company’s ability to satisfy all of its commitments over the next twelve months in accordance with their current terms would be jeopardized. As a result of these conditions, in connection with management’s assessment of going-concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, should Fifth Third and DFC accelerate all payment obligations. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, does not contain any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 - LONG TERM DEBT
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 Note 5 have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement, as amended. The Credit Agreement includes three loan 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 associated closing costs. The second loan facility is a $5,500,000 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 for 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, carry a floating interest of SOFR plus 3.0% (6.99% as of December 31, 2025), and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties and guaranteed by ASHS.
On January 25, 2024 (the “First Amendment Effective Date”), the Company and Fifth Third entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the Credit Agreement to add a new 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 is 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 replaces 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 “Second Amendment Effective Date”), 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 is 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 continue to bear interest at the Applicable Rate established under the First Amendment.
The long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets related to the Term Loan, DDTL, Supplemental Term Loan and Second Supplemental Term Loan was $16,197,000 and $18,462,000 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $164,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to issuance of the Supplemental Term Loan and Second Supplemental Term Loan.
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), that the Company maintain at least $5,000,000 of unrestricted 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. To date, 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. However, there can be
no assurances regarding the outcome of such discussions.

NOTE 5 - LONG TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
The loan entered into with DFC in connection with the acquisition of GKCE in June 2020 (the “DFC Loan”) was obtained through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, HoldCo, and is guaranteed by GKF. The DFC Loan is secured by a lien on GKCE’s assets. The first tranche of the DFC Loan was funded in June 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the second tranche of the DFC loan was funded 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 long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets related to the DFC loan was $1,149,000 and $1,806,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to maintenance and administrative fees on the DFC Loan.
The DFC Loan contains customary covenants among other covenants and obligations, requirements that the Company 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 from DFC for certain covenants as of December 31, 2023 and through December 31, 2024 and amended other covenants and definitions permanently. On March 3, 2025, HoldCo 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. Total long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets related to the GKCE Loans was $53,000 and $145,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any debt issuance costs related to the GKCE Loans.
As a result of the Loan Parties’ default 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
this10-K, 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 described above, 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. 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 accretion of debt issuance costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $126,000 and $95,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the unamortized debt issuance costs on the consolidated balances sheets were $105,000 and $231,000.
The following are contractual maturities of long-term debt by year at December 31, 2025, excluding debt issuance costs of $105,000:

NOTE 6 - LEASES
The Company determines if a contract is a lease at inception. Under ASC 842, the Company is a lessor of equipment to various customers. Leases that commenced prior to ASC 842 adoption date were classified as operating leases under historical guidance. As the Company has elected the package of practical expedients allowing it to not reassess lease classification, these leases are classified as operating leases under ASC 842 as well. All of the Company’s lessor arrangements entered into, amended or extended after ASC 842 adoption are also classified as operating leases. Some of these lease terms have an option to extend the lease after the initial term, but do not contain the option to terminate early or purchase the asset at the end of the term. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset.
The Company’s Gamma Knife and PBRT contracts with hospitals are classified as operating leases under ASC 842. The related equipment is included in medical equipment and facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (see further discussion at Note 2). As all income from the Company’s lessor arrangements is solely based on procedure volume, all income is considered variable payments not dependent on an index or a rate. As such, the Company does not measure future operating lease receivables.
On May 7, 2024, the Company completed the RI Acquisition and acquired 60% of the equity interests of the RI Companies. The RI Companies operate three single-unit radiation therapy facilities. The Company assessed the existing lease agreements under ASC 842 and concluded two of the three facilities contained operating leases. The Company included these leases in its presentation of the consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company’s operating lease in Woonsocket contains a sublease for a 1,950 square feet of the clinic space, which is leased back to the lessor. The Company did not make any lease payments during the year-ended December 31, 2024 related to the RI Companies and its leases. Sublease income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $61,000 and $40,000, respectively.
The Company’s lessee operating leases are accounted for as ROU assets, current portion of lease liabilities, and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s operating lease contracts do not provide an implicit rate for calculating the present value of lease payments. The Company determined its incremental borrowing rate to be approximately 8% by using available market rates and expected lease terms. The operating lease ROU assets and liabilities include any lease payments made and there were no lease incentives or initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lessee operating lease agreements are for administrative office space and related equipment and two of its recently acquired stand-alone facilities in Rhode Island. These leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 8 to 15 years, some of which include options to renew or extend the lease. As of December 31, 2025, operating ROU assets, net of unfavorable leasehold interests were $3,648,000, and lease liabilities were $4,379,000.
The following table summarizes maturities of lessee operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2025:
