February 9, 2016 - FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning , reported its fiscal 2016 second quarter
results for the quarter and six month period ended December 31, 2015. FONAR is the first Company in the MRI industry to manufacture
an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner. FONAR's substantial list of patents include recent patents for its technology
enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging in all the gravity sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities,
spine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow.
two industry segments are the management of Stand-Up MRI (UPRIGHT Multi-Position MRI) centers, and the development,
manufacturing and servicing of the UPRIGHT MRI. Its premier MRI product, the FONAR UPRIGHT Multi-Position MRI
scanner, is the world's only MRI scanner licensed under FONAR's multiple UPRIGHT Multi-Position MRI patents
to scan all the patient's body parts in their normal fully weight-bearing UPRIGHT positions.

Management Discussion
Raymond V. Damadian,
president and chairman of FONAR Corporation said, "While we are still concerned about the environment created under the Affordable
Care Act, we have continued to grow our business consistently. This is because of the adherence to a business strategy that we
have mastered which has made the difference."
Dr. Damadian continued:
"Our business plan is to grow consistently and to always provide our customers with the most optimal service. Our FONAR UPRIGHT
Multi-Position MRI scanner is not only the most comfortable MRI for our customers but the results from the scanner are of
the highest professional quality. In this current medical era, it doesn't get any better than this for our patients. The
patient sits, watches TV comfortably and obtains a weight-bearing MRI of his problem. Physicians appreciate that it is going to
be a scan that can SEE IT ALL' and allow the doctor to optimize the TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR THEIR PATIENT."
reported on January 6, 2016, the Company reported that its subsidiary Health Management Company of America, LLC (HMCA) had begun
managing Stand-Up MRI of Great Neck, located at 600 Northern Blvd., Great Neck, New York, bringing the total number of HMCA-managed
centers to 25: 18 in New York and 7 in Florida. Twenty four (24) of the centers are equipped with the FONAR UPRIGHT Multi-Position
MRI (for details visit: www.fonar.com/010616.htm). Last
year, the 24 HMCA-managed sites provided $57.6 million (83%) of FONAR's $69.1 million in revenue.
2016, the television network ESPN ran a 30 For 30 series documentary on the 1985 NFL Chicago Bears that featured Dr. Scott Rosa
and Jim McMahon. During the approximately five minute segment, Jim McMahon said he was thankful to Dr. Rosa's treatment. Dr. Rosa
provided his patented IGAT (Image Guided Atlas Treatment ) that utilized FONAR's UPRIGHT MRI examination of Jim
McMahon to determine the percussion direction and percussion angle of his IGAT procedure. FONAR provided the UPRIGHT
Multi-Position MRI that for the first time successfully detected and diagnosed Jim McMahon's health issues as originating
in Jim's neck (not his brain) from malalignments of the craniocervical junction vertebra (C1 & C2) from prior football traumas.
These malalignments were obstructing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow into his brain and generating the increased intracranial pressure
(ICP) that was adversely affecting his health. This enabled Jim's successful cervical realignment by Dr. Rosa's IGAT (traumaimagingfoundation.com/).
said: "We are proud that our FONAR UPRIGHT MRI has made such a critical difference to NFL great Jim McMahon. We recommend
our shareholders watch the 30 For 30 series documentary on the 1985 NFL Chicago Bears when it runs again on Friday, February 12,
2016 at 9 PM Eastern Time on ESPN2." Check your local listings.
The Inventor of MR Scanning , is located in Melville, NY, was incorporated in 1978, and is the first, oldest and most experienced
MRI company in the industry. FONAR introduced the world's first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. FONAR's
stellar product is the FONAR UPRIGHT MRI (also known as the Stand-Up MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position
imaging (pMRI ) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension,
as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT MRI often sees the patient's problem that other scanners
cannot because they are lie-down and "weightless" only scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT MRI has a near-zero
claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner,
they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while they watch a
has new works-in-progress technology for visualizing and quantifying the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which circulates throughout
the brain and vertebral column at the rate of 32 quarts per day. This imaging and quantifying of the dynamics of this vital life-sustaining
physiology of the body's neurologic system has been made possible first by FONAR's introduction of the MRI and now
due to this latest works-in-progress for quantifying CSF in all the normal positions of the body, particularly in its upright
flow against gravity. The type of patient that will benefit from this technology includes those with various types of dementia
such as former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon.
substantial list of patents includes recent patents for its technology enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging on all the gravity
sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities and spine. FONAR's UPRIGHT Multi-Position
MRI is the only scanner licensed under these patents.
