Revenue growth was driven by increases in management and other fees, product sales, and service and repair fees, but costs and SGA expenses rose at a higher rate, impacting profitability.
A non-binding proposal was received to take the company private, with ongoing negotiations and no assurance of completion.
The company’s primary revenue and profit source is its diagnostic imaging management subsidiary, which managed 44 MRI scanners.
Cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments totaled $54.3M at quarter-end, down from $56.3M at June 30, 2025.
