Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
U.S. NeuroSurgical, Inc.(“USN”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant, U.S. NeuroSurgical Holdings, Inc. (“USNU” or the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of October 1, 2021 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Elite Health Plan, Inc., a California corporation (“Elite Health”) and its shareholders. Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, USN will acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Elite Health and, in exchange therefor, the former holders of Elite Health will receive newly-issued shares of USN, which when issued will represent 15% of the shares of USN after the transaction.
The transaction with Elite Health is structured as an investment by Elite Health shareholders in USN, a subsidiary of the Company, and as such will not have an immediate effect on the percentage ownership of the shareholders of USNU. However, USNU’s interest in USN, which currently holds substantially all of the interest in USNU’s businesses and operations, will be diluted by 15% as a result of the issuance of the new USN shares to the former holders of Elite Health. In addition, the Company agreed with the former Elite Health shareholders that if there is no trading market for the shares of USN after six months from the closing of the transaction, such holders may request that USNU take steps that would give such holders access to the public trading market, which could be accomplished at the Company’s election through an exchange of such holders’ shares for USNU shares.
The above description of the Share Exchange Agreement does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Exchange Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Elite Health is a private company with a limited operating history. It was formed in 2017 with the purpose of establishing a managed care organization that will operate as a Medicare Advantage plan for seniors. It is expected that Elite Health will operate in California, initially San Bernadino, Riverside, and Orange Counties, with the objective of addressing the growing number of Medicare eligible seniors in those markets. Because of the collective experience of its founders and affiliates as physicians, software executives, and health plan administrators, we believe that Elite Health will be positioned to bring to southern California a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for these communities.
Elite Health is in the process of applying for a Knox Keene license to operate a Medicare Advantage plan in California, and has taken preliminary steps toward identifying a network of providers who are well-versed in the healthcare needs of seniors in the communities in which they practice. Elite Health founders and affiliates also have considerable experience with healthcare record based software and will endeavor to utilize the latest advances in information systems, including AI and data analytics, in its processes to enhance each patient experience and control medical costs.
The Company and Elite Health understand that the keys to success with a managed care organization are delivering comprehensive patient care and containing costs. In addition to developing a plan to obtain necessary approvals, gaining access to a competent network of providers and enrolling a critical level of subscribers, it will be necessary for the plan to provide high quality patient care efficiently and cost effectively. There can be no assurance that the Company and Elite Health will be effective in doing so.

USNU .25 acting like its spring time and hibernation should come to an end?.
With the 50K a month payments from NYU happening a extra 8 months this year compared to last we will get a extra 400K in cash flow this year. Then add in savings from lower taxes and this should be a really good year on what is a very cheap stock already.
Stable revenue and cash flow in the healthcare sector. 1x EBITDA. 1x cash flow. Cash position is bigger than the market cap. Main liabilities are long term leases. Very illiquid shares.
While waiting for the next 10k
Why Gamma Knife Treatment Is Superior
Is the stock on the move.....
I think so.woooowwww.
Yep, it is a dust covered gem. Never seen an earnings PR from them and it isn't a sexy company so doesn't get much attention. CEO and directors have a median age of 71 and own 18% of the shares. Another 50% are held by two investment firms. Been wondering if they will look for a buyer when management decides to retire.
Cash per share....
is around 50c and the ask price is 48c.
Newbie to the board....
This sleeper is looking good,low PE and cash rich.Wooowwwww.
whoooo hooo!
I'll take a look at it.
I'm also making some bets on RFIL (trading under book value - well established California company) fairly confident there will be an about-face on the stock price.
Also LRAD -- check out website. Interesting stuff and lots of Form 4s filed showing insider buying.
Thanks, I don't know if you mess with chinese stocks but tcehy has been flying. I'm up 7 bucks per share in a few weeks.
Glad to hear. Hope you make a bundle on it.If it clears .65 cents and holds -- its blue sky from there. So, sit on your hands for awhile and forget about it.
Lazarus,
I picked up some shares last week. Thanks for the info.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of operations
2016 Compared to 2015
Patient revenue in 2016 was $3,212,000 as compared to $2,971,000 in 2015. This increase in patient revenue was largely due to an increase in the number of patients being seen in 2016, and an additional $150,000 of revenue attributable to the $30,000 per month fixed fee from August 2016 onwards, following the installation of the new ICON unit.
Patient expenses in 2016 were $1,290,000 as compared to $1,195,000 in 2015. 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 2016 over 2015 was due to the additional depreciation of the new ICON installation and the fact that the maintenance agreement did not begin until April of 2015. SG&A increased 6% from $1,232,000 in 2015 to $1,308,000 in 2016. This increase in SG&A resulted from higher insurance costs, automobile expenses, and professional fees incurred in 2016. There was interest expense of $161,000 in 2016 down from $181,000 in 2015. The Company reported net income of $536,000 as compared to $396,000 in the prior year. This increase in income was due largely to the increased revenue received from patients treated at the NYU Center, and earnings from the Company’s unconsolidated entities. As a result, the Company incurred an income tax charge of $342,000 in 2016 as compared to a deferred income tax charge of $252,000 in 2015.
Liquidity and capital resources
At December 31, 2016 the Company had working capital of $1,419,000 as compared to $549,000 at December 31, 2015. This increase was due mostly to higher year end cash balances in turn due to higher revenues in 2016. Total assets increased by $858,000 from 2015 to 2016 principally as a result of the higher year end cash balance, the addition of the new ICON equipment and an increase in accounts receivable at the end of the period. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016 were $1,962,000 as compared to $1,068,000 at December 31, 2015.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,361,000 in 2016 as compared to $1,158,000 in 2015. Net cash used in financing activities was $1,000,000 in 2016 as compared to $803,000 in 2015. Depreciation and amortization was $1,006,000 in 2016 as compared to $935,000 in 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash provided by investing activities was $533,000 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $340,000 in 2015. The 2016 amount included distributions received from investments in unconsolidated entities.

Critical accounting policies
Estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s agreement with NYU is an operating lease, and patient revenue from the use of the gamma knife is lease income. Following an amendment to the Company’s lease agreement with NYU, effective August 2016, the Company receives a $30,000 minimum lease payment per month from NYU. With the exception of these fixed payments, the NYU agreement provides for contingent rental income based on a tiered fee schedule related to the number of patient procedures and associated thresholds. The Company recognizes the contingent rental income and the fixed monthly payments, on a systematic basis using an average fee per procedure calculated by estimating the expected number of procedures per contract year, which runs from November 1, to the following October 31. Any amounts received in excess of the average fee are considered deferred revenue. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews its estimated revenue for the contract year and adjusts revenue for any material changes in the estimate. At the end of the contract year, the revenue is adjusted to the actual amount received.
As of March 27, 2017, there were outstanding 7,792,185 shares of the issuer’s Common Stock. $.01 par value.

Another good ER!
PPS - $.22
3Q EPS - $.02...9 month - $.06...Trailing EPS(ttm) - $.085
Cash $2.3M - $.30 c/s
Looks like a great Q - $.02 eps this Q2 and $.05 for the six month!
I don't think $.15 is going to last...definitely seems undervalued!
Looks like a good quarter.
https://biz.yahoo.com/e/160812/usnu10-q.html
Q1 - Very nice bottom line for a $0.15 stock. I've got it at $0.025 per share but it's rounded up to $0.03 on the income statement.
Looks like about half of that is "income from unconsolidated entities." That seems to be where a lot of their bottom line strength has been coming from.
I did notice it looks like maintenance expenses will be higher going forward (including in Q1).
No position
Raw, what's your take here on USNU? now? These levels look very cheap unless some really bad quarters will hit in the future. Q3 had a net income as well despite their "may result in a few big net loss quarters". Not sure if these are still to come. MAXM is selling a package at 11 while the next seller is at 16 cents. Sure looks thin and cheap if they can in any way hold up the Q3 performance.
Maybe it will be a good candidate for a Santa Claus rally. It has turned into something of a value play. If my quick calc is right I see .137 in cash and BV of .27
agree, its undervalued but there is probably no catalyst to spark interest in its stock. In hindsight we were all blindsight because of Q3 2014.
I am not going to sell it, but its probably dead money for some time..
USNU continues to slide. Published Q3 report on Monday. Earned 90K on 772K revs. These numbers are both down from 2014 comps. Biggest difference I can find is that depreciation is higher on new equipment. Still earned over .01eps in Q3. Annualized, that's .04-.05 eps vs current .14 share price.
If you compare cashflow (profits + depreciation) for ytd 2015 vs 2014, USNU actually had better cashflow this year, in spite of lower profits.
$201K net profits + 700K depreciation = $901K cashflow 2015
$396K net profits + 400K depreciation = $796K cashflow 2014
I guess the continued share price fall is related to the big performance in Q3 2014 that hasn't been repeated. Not sure. Still seems undervalued but probably not going to see big upside in total revs so probably won't excite market enough to get a big bounce.

I had noticed that as well and was trying it figure out why the company is STILL saying, "The Company anticipates that these factors may result in significant operating losses for the next several quarters."
Aren't you concerned that Q2 may have had a backlog of patients that isn't sustainable since the annualized rate of revenue was substantially higher?
Prior to reopening the clinic, USNU was a no-growth company with a previous record of annual sales in 2010 of $2.56 million. USNU treated its first patient on April 29, 2014 which means USNU basically only had two months of operations and reported $737,000 in revenue. That's an annualized pace of $4.4 million compared to the $2.0 million rate it was doing before Hurricane Sandy.
As another example, during that record year in 2010, USNU reported revenue in Q2 of $548,000 for a full three months or around 50% less than the monthly revenue of Q2 2014. Perhaps the anticipated operating losses are expected to come from, in part, revenue going forward that won't be as high as Q2.
The most recent 10Q also warns, "It may take additional time to achieve and sustain the level of patient volume that the center was handling prior to the disruption." This is implying that the giant leap in monthly revenue during Q2 wasn't sustainable.
Maybe it's all boilerplate and USNU is on its way to fame and fortune, but I just don't feel comfortable. I originally got excited by the pick, hence my research, and I'll continue to watch it from the sidelines.
re USNU: sure sounds worrisome, except...
When I compared the relevant language as filed in the last 2 10-Q reports (dated 5/15/14 and 8/14/14), it sounds very much like operations are improving ahead of schedule.
I've bolded what I view are the key parts of the text:
Here's the relevant language from the older March 10-Q(5/15/14):
The Company has obtained a commitment for lease financing in the amount of $4.6 million for the purchase of the replacement equipment and for some construction and other costs associated with the damaged machine removal and new machine installation. However, the Company will incur additional costs relating to the reconstruction of the center at NYU, some of which may be substantial and will not be covered by insurance.
The Company anticipates that these factors will result in significant operating losses for the next several quarters.
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 or other types of cancer treatment centers. The Company expects to incur losses for the next several quarters due to the destruction of the NYU Gamma Knife. Should losses continue for an extended period of time, or should the actual construction costs incurred materially exceed forecasts, 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.
Here's the relevant language from the newer June 10-Q(8/14/14):
The Company entered into a commitment for lease financing in the amount of $4.6 million for the purchase of the replacement equipment and for some construction and other costs associated with the damaged machine removal and new machine installation.
The Company anticipates that these factors may result in significant operating losses for the next several quarters.
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 or other types of cancer treatment centers. The Company expects to incur net cash outflows from operating activities for the next several quarters due to the destruction of the NYU Gamma Knife. Should net cash outflows continue for an extended period of time, or should the actual construction costs incurred materially exceed forecasts, 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.
So, if you're still with me:
1) all the language about the reconstruction of the center is now gone from the new 10-Q;
2) you can see that "will" in May became "may" in August, and, more importantly IMO, "losses" in May became "net cash outflows" in August.
3) Finally, it's not surprising at all that these two items of language changed because the company did, in fact, report strong operating income in the June quarter, while incurring a net cash outflow...
Bottom line is that I believe USNU's business has resumed/recovered faster that management anticipated and that Q2 results are very representative of what the company can do going forward. And, don't forget, Q2 only represented a little more than 2 months of operations since the company did not resume treating patients until late April.
USNU -- lesson learned. Be careful of those "mystery stock, how much would you pay?" nonsense. It's not substitute for better DD. In this case, USNU should have stayed a mystery since it's no mystery that its own filings warn of significant net losses ahead.
USNU -- "The Company entered into a commitment for lease financing in the amount of $4.6 million for the purchase of the replacement equipment and for some construction and other costs associated with the damaged machine removal and new machine installation.
The Company anticipates that these factors may result in significant operating losses for the next several quarters."
