Item 8.01. Other Events
This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to the information provided in the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated May 7, 2024, filed by American Shared Hospital Services (the “Company”) on May 13, 2024 (the “Original Report”). The Original Report was filed to report the completion of the Company’s acquisition of 60% of the equity interests in each of Southern New England Regional Cancer Center, LLC and Roger Williams Radiation Therapy, LLC (collectively, the “Target Companies”) from GenesisCare USA, Inc. (“GenesisCare”).
Based on information available to the Company, the Company believes that the acquisition would qualify as a “significant” acquisition under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X and as a result, under Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X, the Company would be required to provide (i) audited financial statements for the Target Companies as of and for the period ended June 30, 2023 and unaudited interim financial statements to the extent applicable (the “8-04 financial information”), and (ii) pro forma historical financial information combined to reflect the Target Companies’ financial information for the most recent fiscal year and interim period (the “8-05 financial information” and, together with the 8-04 financial information, the “S-X financial information”). The Company purchased the Target Companies as part of the sale of certain of GenesisCare’s assets in its bankruptcy proceedings which were initiated in early June 2023. Due to the lack of reliable financial information for the Target Companies following the protracted bankruptcy proceedings, the Company is not able to obtain financial information sufficient to be able to provide the S-X financial information. Any such historical financial information would (i) be pre-bankruptcy information, which is outdated and the Company believes is not useful to investors in assessing the value of the assets acquired, the value of which will be disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, to be filed in August 2024, and was the primary driver behind management’s decision to enter into the acquisition, (ii) not reflect (a) the impacts of the bankruptcy itself on the financial information and (b) the fact that the Target Companies represented three of one hundred fifty sites operated as one business by GenesisCare and which have not historically recorded separate financial information, resulting in numerous and significant estimates and assumptions in order to create such historical financial information and (iii) not reflect the significant changes the businesses of the Target Companies have undergone as GenesisCare entered and exited bankruptcy. The Company has regularly requested historical financial information for the Target Companies from GenesisCare, but has not received sufficient reliable information in order to prepare the S-X financial information. The Company, therefore, is not in compliance with Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X. Unless the Company files the S-X information, the Securities and Exchange Commission will not declare effective registration statements or post-effective amendments filed by the Company until twelve months following the date on which the Company has filed a periodic report with the Securities and Exchange Commission that meets the requirements of Regulation S-X, and affiliates will be not be permitted to make sales of securities pursuant to Rule 144 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These restrictions do not apply to currently effective registration statements covering employee benefit plans.
The Company will provide a breakdown of financial information attributable to the Target Companies, including revenue and direct expenses, since the acquisition in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, and will provide such information in its Quarterly Reports going forward until the Target Companies have been consolidated into the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 along with a pro forma presentation of the Company as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2024. The Company believes that this information presenting the results of the Target Companies since the acquisition is a better resource for its shareholders to understand the value of the acquisition than the information that could be provided by any S-X financial information, which the Company views as unreliable for the reasons stated above. In contrast, the financial information attributable to the Target Companies on an ongoing basis since the acquisition provides the Company’s shareholders with reliable information that has been prepared and reviewed by the Company and its management and is maintained using the Company’s internal controls processes. Therefore, shareholders will be able to review and understand the value of the assets of the Target Companies as operated by the Company.
