In other recent news, American Shared Hospital Services reported a net loss of $625,000 for the first quarter of 2025, with earnings per share at -$0.10. The company’s revenue reached $6.1 million, marking a 17% increase from the previous year, primarily driven by a 224% surge in revenue from direct patient services. However, the equipment leasing segment experienced a decline. The company continues to expand its international presence, notably opening new centers in Latin America. In another development, American Shared Hospital Services appointed Baker Tilly US, LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm following a merger between its former auditor, Moss Adams LLP, and Baker Tilly. The change in auditors was not due to any disagreements on accounting principles or practices. Additionally, a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting was identified for the year ended December 31, 2024, which remains unremedied. The company has authorized full communication with Baker Tilly to address this issue.
