U.S. NEUROSURGICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS








Note A - Basis of Preparation





The accompanying financial statements at June 30, 2009, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, are unaudited.  However, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the information presented therein.  The balance sheet at December
31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.





Pursuant to accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying financial statements and notes do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  Accordingly,
these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual financial statements.





Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be achieved for full fiscal years.








Note B – Uncertainties





During 2007, USN instituted a lawsuit against Midwest Division – RMC LLC, in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri seeking damages against the defendant as successor to USN’s agreement with RMC relating to the Kansas City Gamma Knife center.  This lawsuit arose out of USN’s agreement with RMC, executed
in December 1993.  In the course of an audit, USN discovered that the defendant had failed to make proper payments to USN under that agreement.  USN sought to recover amounts representing such underpayments.





On July 3, 2008, following the trial at the Circuit Court, the jury found in favor of USN and assessed damages at $1,919,124.  The Circuit Court ordered that judgment be entered in favor of the Company in that amount.  The defendant’s request for a new trial was denied, and the defendant has appealed the verdict.  With
this appeal pending, the prospects for payment of any amounts to the Company remain uncertain.





Patients continue to receive treatment at the Kansas City center, but payments for those treatments are being calculated by RMC according to the method that USN has contested, and which is the subject of the lawsuit.  Management believes that the only issue is the extent to which USN will benefit through this lawsuit with respect
to prior periods.





7
 Table of Content


Although patients continue to be treated in Kansas City, it is not clear how the presence, or the ultimate outcome, of the lawsuit will impact the Company’s working relationship with RMC.  RMC is a unit of HCA, Inc., a very large health services organization which has substantially greater resources than are available to
USN.  Nevertheless, USN has made a substantial investment in Kansas City to build its business and provide quality healthcare to patients in the Kansas City community in reliance on RMC’s performance under their agreement, and thus USN intends to pursue its rights aggressively in an effort to protect that business.





Due largely to decreased patient procedures in recent periods at the Kansas City center, the Company recently experienced operating losses which have contributed to a substantial reduction in its working capital.  The Company experienced net after tax losses of $335,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, but did return to
breakeven for the year ended 2008.





The Company’s management is taking steps to improve profitability and overcome the negative effects of recent reductions in working capital.  In recent quarters, the Company has been successful in reducing maintenance expenses and insurance costs.  The Company had a working capital surplus of $42,000 at June 30,
2009, as compared to a working capital surplus of $164,000 at December 31, 2008, although this reduction was largely due to the increased current obligation relating to the capital lease financing that was recently arranged for the new Gamma Knife at the New York center.  The Company reported a net loss of $33,000 for the first three months of 2009.  This loss, however, was primarily due to the fact that the NYU Center was shut down for approximately six weeks during the first quarter to accommodate
the installation of new equipment at that center. For the first six months of 2009, the Company reported net income of $54,000.  With the efficiencies introduced, the Company hopes that profitability will continue to improve, but future losses are still possible, particularly in view of uncertainties at the Kansas City location described above.








Note C – The New Southern California Regional Gamma Knife Center





During 2007, the Company managed the formation of the Southern California Regional Gamma Knife center at San Antonio Community Hospital in Upland, California.  The Company will participate in the ownership and operation of the center through its wholly-owned subsidiary, USN Corona, Inc. (“USNC”).  Corona
Gamma Knife, LLC (“CGK”) is party to a 14-year agreement with SACH to renovate space in the hospital and install and operate a Leksell Perfexion Gamma Knife.  CGK leased the Gamma Knife from Neuropartners LLC, which purchased the Gamma Knife equipment.  USNC is a 27% owner of CGK and a 20% owner of Neuropartners LLC.  In addition, USNC will receive fees for management services relating to the facility.





Construction of the SACH Gamma Knife center was completed in December 2008 and the first patient was treated in January of 2009 and operations are continuing as planned and at a level sufficient to make the necessary financing payments, meet other obligations and support the growth of the center.  The project has been funded
principally by outside investors, and USN’s investment to date in the SACH center has been minimal.

Note D –New Gamma Knife at NYU Medical Center





The Company installed a new Leksell Gamma Knife, the PERFEXION model, at the NYU Medical Center in March 2009 in replacement of the older Gamma Knife equipment at that location.  The net cost to the Company of the new machine was $3,200,000 after a credit for the trade-in of the older machine.  The purchase price was financed
through a capital lease with Elekta Capital.  The Company incurred construction costs to date of $115,000 in connection with the installation of the equipment and the upgrades to the facility.  The Company expects to pay $137,000 in additional construction costs which will be capitalized into the lease.  In connection with this upgrade, the Company modified its arrangement with NYU to extend the term for 12 years from March 2009.  The Company is responsible under the lease
agreement with Elekta Capital for 81 months of lease payments commencing in July 2009 of approximately $61,000 per month.

Item2.  Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.





Critical Accounting Policies





The condensed financial statements of U.S. Neurosurgical, Inc. (“USN” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  As such, some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in the financial statements.  A
summary of those significant accounting policies can be found in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed, in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Note B.  In particular, judgment is used in areas such as determining the allowance for doubtful accounts and asset impairments.





The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Company’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere herein.








Results of Operation





Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2008





Patient revenue increased 78% to $693,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $390,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  This increase in patient revenue was largely due to increased volume at the New York center following the reopening of the center with the new PERFEXION Gamma Knife and higher reimbursement due to the
renegotiation and extension of the contract with NYU, resulting in a dramatic increase in the number of procedures performed at the Company’s New York center during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago.  Patient expenses increased 28% to $248,000 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $194,000 in the same period a year ago.  Patient expenses do not vary materially with the number of procedures performed, but are tied to depreciation, maintenance and
other fixed expenses.  The increase experienced in this quarter over the comparable period in 2008 was due largely to increased depreciation costs following the installation of the new equipment at the New York center.





Selling, general and administrative expense increased 11% to $243,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $219,000 in the comparable period in 2008.  This increase was largely due to an increase in professional fees and increased depreciation of the physical improvements at the New York center incurred in the second quarter
of 2009.  Interest expense increased 269% to $118,000 from $32,000 in the same period a year earlier.  This increase was due to the significant increase in capital lease obligations resulting from the financing of the new Gamma Knife at the Company’s New York center.  These expenses are expected to remain at this higher level, at least until the termination of the lease arrangement at the Kansas City center.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported
net income of $86,000 as compared to a net loss of $51,000 for the same period a year earlier.  This improvement resulted primarily from the increased revenues at the New York center as described above.

 Table of Content





Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008





Patient revenue increased 14% to $1,058,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $925,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase in patient revenue was largely due to increased volume at the New York center following the reopening of the center with the new PERFEXION Gamma Knife and higher reimbursement
due to the renegotiation and extension of the contract with NYU, resulting in an increase in the number of procedures performed at the Company’s New York center during the second half of 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago.  This increase was offset to a significant degree due to the fact that the New York center was shut down for approximately six weeks during the first quarter of 2009 to allow for the installation of the new Gamma Knife at that location, which resulted in reduced
procedures at that location in that period .  Patient expenses increased 3% to $390,000 for the first half of 2009 compared to $377,000 in the same period a year ago.  Patient expenses do not vary materially with the number of procedures performed, but are tied to depreciation, maintenance and other fixed expenses.





Selling, general and administrative expense decreased 6% to $475,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $506,000 in the comparable period in 2008.  Interest expense increased 110% to $143,000 from $68,000 in the same period a year earlier.  This increase was due to the significant increase in capital lease
obligations resulting from the financing of the new Gamma Knife at the Company’s New York center that impacted result for the first time in the second quarter of 2009.  These expenses are expected to remain at this higher level, at least until the termination of the lease arrangement at the Kansas City center.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported net income of $54,000 as compared to a net loss of $20,000 for the same period a year earlier.  This improvement
resulted primarily from the increased revenue at the New York center following its March reopening with the new Gamma Knife as described above.








Liquidity and Capital Resources





At June 30, 2009 the Company had working capital of $42,000 as compared to $164,000 at December 31, 2008.  This reduction was primarily due to the current obligation that was generated in connection with the capital lease financing established during the first half of 2009 for the new Gamma Knife at the New York center.  Cash
and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009 were $696,000 as compared with $605,000 at December 31, 2008.





Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $229,000 as compared to the $293,000 that was provided by operating activities for the same period a year earlier.  Depreciation and amortization was $337,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared with $322,000 the first six months
of 2008.






11
 Table of Content





The Company paid $138,000 towards its capital lease obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $213,000 in the same period a year ago.  With our current cash position, and continued collection on our accounts receivable, the Company believes that its cash position will be sufficient to support operations
for at least the next twelve months.








Risk Factors





We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The following factors, as well as the factors listed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, have affected or could affect our actual
results and could cause such results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us.  Investors should carefully consider these risks and speculative factors inherent in and affecting our business and an investment in our common stock.





Operating Losses.  We have experienced significant operating losses in recent periods and may continue to do so in the future.  We reported a net loss of $335,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, but did return to breakeven for the year ended 2008.  The
Company reported net loss of $33,000 for the first three months of 2009, but was profitable for the first six months of 2009 with net income of $54,000.  The loss in the first quarter was primarily due to the fact that the NYU Center was shut down for approximately six weeks during the first quarter to accommodate the installation of new equipment at that center.





While the Company is taking steps to improve long term profitability, it is possible that the Company will experience material losses in the future periods.





Availability of Working Capital.  To date, we have earned sufficient income from operations to fund periodic operating losses and support efforts to pursue new Gamma Knife centers.  If losses continue, we will be required to seek additional capital to support
continued operations and the development of new centers, but we cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to raise such additional capital as and when required.








Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements





The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions.  This document contains such "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenues and cash flow.  Words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify such forward-looking statements.  Those forward-looking statements are based on management's present expectations about future
events.  As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, future events or otherwise.






12
 Table of Content





The Company operates in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment and in business segments that are dependent on our ability to: achieve profitability; increase revenues; sustain our current level of operation; introduce on a timely basis new products; maintain satisfactory relations with our customers; attract and retain key
personnel; maintain and expand our strategic alliances; and protect our know-how.  The Company's actual results could differ materially from management's expectations because of changes in such factors.  New risk factors can arise and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in any forward-looking statements.  Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.





Investors should also be aware that while the Company might, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company's policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, investors should not assume that the Company agrees with any statement or
report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Furthermore, the Company has a policy against issuing or confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others.  Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts or others contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of the Company.





In addition, the Company’s overall financial strategy, including growth in operations, maintaining financial ratios and strengthening the balance sheet, could be adversely affected by increased interest rates, failure to meet earnings expectations, significant acquisitions or other transactions, economic slowdowns and changes in the
Company’s plans, strategies and intentions.








Item3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.





Not applicable.





Item4T.  Controls and Procedures





Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures





We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  We do realize that we are a very small company and as a small
company with only the officers and directors participating in the day to day management, with the ability to override controls, each officer and director has multiple positions and responsibilities that would normally be distributed among several employees in larger organizations with adequate segregation of duties to ensure the appropriate checks and balances.  Because the Company does not currently have a separate chief financial officer, the Chief Executive Officer performs these functions with the
support of one of the Company’s outside directors who assists in the reporting and disclosure process (the “Lead Director”).






13
 Table of Content





Our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation (including an evaluation
of the updated procedures described above) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report for the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules
and forms.





Internal Control over Financial Reporting





Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:





(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;





(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
and





(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.






14
 Table of Content





Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.





Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting





As described in Item 9A(T) of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, management has identified the following material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008:  The Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with the appropriate level
of knowledge, experience and training in the application of GAAP and in internal controls over financial reporting commensurate with its financial reporting requirements.  This material weakness contributed to control deficiencies, as well as audit adjustments to the 2008 annual consolidated financial statements in the financial reporting and close process.  As described in Item 9A(T) of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, management has taken steps to remediate the
control deficiencies noted above through the use of additional outside contractors with the requisite experience and expertise in GAAP accounting.





Other than as described above, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PARTII - OTHER INFORMATION





Item1.  Legal Proceedings





During 2007, USN instituted a lawsuit against Midwest Division – RMC LLC, in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri seeking damages against the defendant as successor to USN’s agreement with RMC relating to the Kansas City Gamma Knife center.  This lawsuit arose out of USN’s agreement with RMC, executed
in December 1993.  In the course of an audit, USN discovered that the defendant had failed to make proper payments to USN under that agreement.  USN sought to recover amounts representing such underpayments.





On July 3, 2008, following the trial at the Circuit Court, the jury found in favor of USN and assessed damages at $1,919,124.  The Circuit Court ordered that judgment be entered in favor of the Company in that amount.  The defendant’s request for a new trial was denied, and the defendant has appealed the verdict.  With
this appeal pending, the prospects for payment of any amounts to the Company remain uncertain.





Patients continue to receive treatment at the Kansas City center, but payments for those treatments are being calculated by RMC according to the method that USN has contested, and which is the subject of the lawsuit.  Management believes that the only issue is the extent to which USN will benefit through this lawsuit with respect
to prior periods.





Although patients continue to be treated in Kansas City, it is not clear how the presence, or the ultimate outcome, of the lawsuit will impact the Company’s working relationship with RMC.  RMC is a unit of HCA, Inc., a very large health services organization which has substantially greater resources than are available to
USN.  Nevertheless, USN has made a substantial investment in Kansas City to build its business and provide quality healthcare to patients in the Kansas City community in reliance on RMC’s performance under their agreement, and thus USN intends to pursue its rights aggressively in an effort to protect that business.
