FONAR GRANTED ADDITIONAL NASDAQ EXTENSION
MELVILLE,
NEW YORK, June 29, 2009 - FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR),
The Inventor of MR Scanning®, today announced that the NASDAQ
Listing and Hearing Review Council (the "Listing Council")
has determined to continue the listing of the Company's securities
on The NASDAQ Capital Market, subject to the condition that, on
or before October 5, 2009, the Company evidence compliance with
NASDAQ's net income requirement by evidencing a minimum of $500,000
in net income for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
In a written decision to the Company on June 24,
2009, the Listing Council said, "... of significance to
the Listing
Council in making its determination are the substantial tangible
steps made by the Company toward regaining compliance with Nasdaq's
continued listing standards, which involved substantial cost-cutting
and reorganization of the Company's business in a successful
effort to become profitable. ... the Company has reported net
income of over $700,000 for the last two fiscal quarters, has
reported net income in excess of $1 million for the (first)
nine months of the Company's current fiscal year (ending June
30, 2009) ... The Listing Council takes note that, but for the
net income deficiency, the Company would be in compliance with
Nasdaq's continued listing standards. Accordingly, the Listing
Council is willing to grant a short extension of time ... to
allow the Company to demonstrate compliance with the Capital
Market continued listing standards."
Raymond Damadian, president and chairman of FONAR
said, "It is important to remain on The NASDAQ Capital
Market. As the Listing Council has recognized, we have made
a substantial effort to demonstrate compliance. We believe that
this is a big benefit to our shareholders and the Company in
general."
