SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Positron Corporation (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) for the period ending June 30, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

2.	Accounting Policies

For a summary of significant accounting policies (which have not changed from December 31, 2012), see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Intangible Assets

The Company has goodwill and identified intangible assets with determinable lives. Identified intangible assets consist of patents acquired in MIT acquisition on January 17, 2012 (see Note 4). The goodwill and patents were fair valued at $ 346,000 and $ 14,000 under the purchase accounting with patents being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 6 years. Amortization expense of identified intangibles is expected to be approximately $ 2,333 in each of the next six years. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the amortization expense related to the Company’s identified intangible assets was immaterial. Goodwill is not amortized under g enerally accepted accounting principles .

The Company accounts for its goodwill in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-20, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the fair value of identified net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The Company assesses the carrying amount of goodwill by testing the goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances or a triggering event indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company is required to measure the possible goodwill impairment based upon an allocation of the estimate of fair value of the reporting unit to all of the underlying assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any previously unrecognized intangible assets (Step Two Analysis). The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities (“carrying amount”) is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that a reporting unit’s recorded goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill. There have been no triggering events in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and therefore, no goodwill impairment was recorded.

The Company also reviews its identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by reference to future cash flows from the products underlying these intangible assets. If these estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. As of June 30, 2013, no impairment was recorded.

Debt Discount

Costs incurred with parties who are providing long-term financing, which generally include the value of warrants or the fair value of an embedded derivative conversion feature, are reflected as a debt discount and are amortized over the life of the related debt. The debt discount attributable to the warrants issued with convertible debentures during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $ 0 and $279,000, respectively. The debt discount attributable to the embedded conversion derivative liability during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $ 0 and $321,000, respectively. The Company also recorded the accretion of debt discount of $899,000 and $737,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The total debt unaccreted discount at June 30, 2013 was $899,000, compared to $1,798,000 at December 31, 2012.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, common stock payable, and unearned revenue, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

• Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following table presents the embedded conversion derivative liability, the Company’s only financial liability measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2013 (in thousands) :

		June 30, 2013			Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
Embedded conversion derivative liability		$	3,858		$	-		$	-		$	3,858

The following table reconciles, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements (in thousands) :

Balance of embedded conversion derivative liability as of December 31, 2012	$	3,981
Gain on fair value adjustments to embedded conversion derivative liability		(123)
Balance of embedded conversion derivative liability at June 30, 2013	$	3,858

The fair value of the conversion features are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a derivative liability for the calculated value using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model . Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon conversion of the convertible debt to stock, the Company reclassifies the related embedded conversion derivative liability to paid in capital. Since the fair value of the embedded conversion derivative liability exceeded the carrying value of the convertible debentures on the issuance date, the convertible debentures were recorded at a full discount. The Company recognizes expense for accretion of the convertible debentures discount over the term of the notes. The Company has considered the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , as the conversion feature embedded in each debenture could result in the note principal being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are currently derived from the sale of medical equipment products, maintenance contracts and service revenues. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Service revenues are recognized upon performance of the services. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of medical equipment products when earned. Specifically, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or services have been rendered), the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company obtains a signed customer acceptance after installation is complete for the sale of its Attrius® systems.

In multiple-element arrangements, revenue is allocated to each element based on their relative selling prices. Relative selling prices are based first on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), then on third-party evidence of selling price (TPE) when VSOE does not exist, and then on estimated selling price (ESP) when VSOE and TPE do not exist. Because the Company has neither VSOE nor TPE for its products, the allocation of revenue has been based on the Company’s ESPs. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product was sold on a stand-alone basis. The Company determines ESP by considering the facts and circumstances of the product being sold.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued or adopted accounting pronouncements are not expected to, or did not have, a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3.	Going Concern

Since inception, the Company has expended substantial resources on research and development and sustained losses. Due to the limited number of systems sold or placed into service each year, revenues have fluctuated significantly from year to year and have not been sufficient to be operationally profitable. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $118,759,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of $7,635,000 at June 30, 2013. The Company will need to increase sales and apply the research and development advancements to achieve profitability in the future. The Company will need to resume and increase sales of PET and radiopharmaceutical systems, services, radipharmaceuticals and radioisotope sales and apply the research and development advancements to achieve profitability in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in selling products.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $370,000 at June 30, 2013. At the same date, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,596,000, and a negative working capital of $8,462,000. Working capital requirements for the upcoming year will reach beyond our current cash balances. The Company plans to continue to raise funds as required through equity and debt financing to sustain business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its business plan and ultimately achieving operational profitability. The Company’s long-term viability as a going concern is dependent on its ability to 1) achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations, 2) control costs and expand revenues from existing or new business 3) meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operation in the near future and 4) raise additional funds through debt and/or equity financings.

4.	Acquisition of MIT

On January 17, 2012, the Company acquired Manhattan Isotope Technology LLC (“MIT”) upon consummation of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with MIT and the interest-holders of MIT, whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests from the holders in exchange for: (i) the assumption of the liabilities of MIT; (ii) cash advances; (iii) earn-out payments equal to twenty percent ( 20 %) of “Net Income” as defined in the Agreement; (iv) 5,000,000 common shares of Positron stock; and (v) entry into employment agreements with MIT’s employees.

In accordance with the transaction, the Company acquired the assets related to MIT’s business of refurbishing spent strontium-82/rubidium-82 and other radioisotope generators, recycling strontium-82 and other radioisotopes from generators, processing of strontium-82 and other radioisotopes, providing expertise in production of radioisotopes and radioisotopes services, including cash, equipment, leasehold improvements, patent, certain supply and distribution and other vendor contracts, goodwill and assumed liabilities including trade payables, accruals and a note payable with a commercial bank. The parties made customary representations, warranties and indemnities in the Agreement that are typical and consistent for a transaction of this size and scope.

The Company has included the financial results of MIT in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. MIT is included in the Radiopharmaceuticals operating segment.

The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $ 12,000 in 2012.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire MIT at the acquisition date:

Fair Value of Consideration Transferred:

Common stock of Company	$	50,000
Contingent consideration		205,297
Total	$	255,297

The total purchase price for the MIT acquisition was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their fair values as of January 17, 2012 as set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets was recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

Cash	$	829
Equipment and leasehold improvements, net accumulated depreciation of $201,730		653,567
Patent, net accumulated amortization of $2,290		14,000
Trade and other payables		(59,282)
Note payable		(700,000)
Net liabilities assumed	$	(90,886)

Goodwill	$	346,183

The Company identified intangible assets associated with patents and assigned the fair value of $ 14,000 . The useful life associated with patents was 6 years.

The acquisition of MIT includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires cash payments to the previous members equal to 20 % of “Net Income” as defined in the Agreement through December 31, 2018 . The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could owe under this arrangement is between $ 0 and $ 3,000,000 . The fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date of approximately $ 205,000 was estimated based on the present value of projected payments which were based on projected net income through 2018 . These calculations and projections are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which ASC 820 refers to as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include a discount rate of 25 percent as well as an increasing level of revenues and expenses based on probability factors at the acquisition date.

The unaudited pro forma summary for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2012 is not materially different from total sales, loss from operations, net loss, and net loss per common share presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations above.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period and earnings adjusted for preferred stock dividend requirements. Diluted earnings per common share assumes that any dilutive convertible preferred shares outstanding at the beginning of each period were converted at those dates, with related interest, preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which market price exceeds exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds. The convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively since it would have resulted in an antidilutive effect.

The Series H Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a rate equal to the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock being converted multiplied by the Original Issuance Price of $0.10 and divided by seventy percent (70%) of the daily weighted volume average price for the three trading days prior to conversion. The Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to two hundred (200) votes per share of Series H Preferred Stock on all matters which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote.

16.

Stock Options

For all of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid cash dividends to date and does not currently expect to pay cash dividends) and the expected term of the option. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based mainly on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price over a period commensurate with the expected life of the share option as well as other factors. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life at the time of grant.

For options issued during 2012, fifty ( 50 ) percent of the options vested immediately on the grant date with the remaining fifty ( 50 ) percent vesting on January 17, 2013 . The company recognized compensation expense of $ 88 ,000 during the first quarter of 2013 and recognized $ 1,066 ,000 of expense in 2012.

Radiopharmaceuticals: Manufacturing, Processing & Distribution

Positron has negotiated a strategic alliance with Jubilant DraxImage Inc. (JDI), and Sr-82/Rb-82 generator manufacturer, whose generator and related infusion cart are reported to be in the final stages of the FDA’s approval process. Upon FDA approval, JDI and Positron will market and distribute what we believe to be the first and only alternative to Bracco’s Cardiogen-82 generator, a device which had multiple recalls during the last two years. Positron will supply JDI with Sr-82 for the generator production. Positron intends to couple the generator with the Attrius sales and utilize Positron’s current nuclear cardiology network. Initial efforts will be focused on North America. This product is a key element of Positron’s strategy to vertically integrate the production and delivery of a complete cardiac imaging solution: isotope (Sr-82), generator (Rb-82), and imaging system (Attrius®).

PosiRx® is a radiopharmaceutical system that automates the elution, preparation and dispensing processes for radiopharmaceutical agents used in molecular imaging. It was created to simplify and control the procedures associated with compounding radiopharmaceuticals. PosiRx® integrates features that increase productivity while decreasing exposure and costs. Additionally, the PosiRx® assists in compliance with all current USP-797 and ALARA exposure control requirements for the production of unit dose radiopharmaceuticals.

PosiRx® is the first system of its kind to offer a complete and comprehensive automated solution, creating a more efficient and economical alternative to the current pharmacy per dose model. PosiRx® is targeted for clinics and hospitals with average to high SPECT imaging and pharmaceutical compounding volumes, in the U.S. and abroad. With PosiRx®, Positron intends to exploit possibilities existing in the SPECT imaging and pharmaceutical markets for both cardiology and oncology.

Radioisotopes: Production & Distribution

Positron, through MIT, has registered its Drug Master File (DMF) for API grade Sr-82 with the FDA. This marks Positron’s entrance into the radioisotope market with a high demand product as a precursor for PET radiopharmaceuticals. Positron is the only commercial resource in the U.S. that possesses the practical experience and knowledge in all stages of Sr-82 production and spent generator lifecycle management. Currently, Positron produces API grade strontium-82 from target material received from its foreign collaborators.

In our pursuit of securing isotopes for North American consumption and increasing the global radioisotope supply, Positron plans to build and operate the world’s largest commercial high energy/high current cyclotron (70MeV) within the U.S. The proposed facility will be unique in that it will be capable of producing isotopes that are either not available or have very limited availability from other commercial sources in the United States and the world. Positron intends to couple the cyclotron with a material processing facility, isotope target manufacturing, drug manufacturing and Positron’s expanding equipment manufacturing operations.

The primary isotope to be produced is Sr-82, that is currently in short supply in the world and is produced in the U.S. only by the Department of Energy (“DOE”) National Laboratories. It is the policy of the DOE to not compete with private industry, and therefore the DOE may be compelled via petition to withdraw from the market when the materials are reasonably available commercially.

The cost of the project, including equipment, building, land, working capital and contingencies, is approximately $60 million. Positron executed an agreement with IBA Molecular, of Belgium, to manufacture a 70 MeV cyclotron. The facility may be located in the city of Gary, Indiana. The facility will take approximately 3.5 years to build. The Company expects to begin operations in 2017. Positron has received an offer of $30 Million in economic incentives from the City of Gary, Indiana towards the development of Positron’s 70 MeV cyclotron project.

The Company plans to execute the project through its wholly owned subsidiary, Positron Isotopes Corporation, and will be funded with proceeds from debt and equity which the Company intends to raise. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the funds required to complete the cyclotron project or that if it does so, that such funds will be raised on terms that are favorable to the Company.

Major developments and milestones achieved by Positron Corporation during 2013 include:

	•	Positron and iThemba LABS enters into Radioisotope Supply Agreement
	•	Positron radioisotope processing facility is a FDA registered facility.
	•	Positron continues to secure supply agreements with all available foreign and domestic strontium-82 suppliers.
	•	Positron introduces next generation PosiRx Pharmacy Automation System.
	•	Positron retains investment banking firm Covington Associates to lead financing of 70 MeV cyclotron project.

The Company

Positron, a pioneer in cardiac PET, is well branded in the field of nuclear cardiology. Founded in 1983, Positron has gained significant traction in the industry based on its imaging technology and strong commitment towards advancing cardiac care. Originally a research & development company, Positron’s business strategy has evolved and grown over the past several years. Positron has expanded from a medical imaging device manufacturer to a nuclear healthcare company integrating the key components of the cardiac PET supply chain to provide an end-to-end solution for the market. Led by an experienced management team, Positron has become a true business enterprise with strong recurring revenue generating business model scalable to the global marketplace.

The Company believes that our unique products, market position and vertical integration strategy will stabilize and secure the supply chain, significantly reducing costs and industry uncertainties, a substantial advantage, leading to further adoption and growth of the cardiac PET modality.

Positron, through the acquisition of Manhattan Isotope Technology (MIT) in 2012, is the only commercial resource in the U.S. with practical knowledge and experience in all stages of Sr-82 production and generator lifecycle management. Positron seeks to secure both short and long-term supply of radioisotopes used in cardiac PET imaging. Currently, the Company is producing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) grade Sr-82 at its Lubbock, Texas, facility from strontium received from foreign irradiated source suppliers. The Company intends to further supplement strontium resources by pursuing additional supply agreements with all domestic and foreign irradiated source suppliers, requesting increases in production schedules from third party suppliers, and by recycling expired generators. Positron seeks to secure a long-term North America supply of medical radioisotopes for cardiac PET imaging by building and operating the world’s largest commercial high-energy/high-current cyclotron (70MeV) within the U.S. This 70 MeV cyclotron will be at the heart of providing a reliable, dependable, and indigenous supply of radioisotopes, stabilizing and building confidence in the PET market and nuclear medicine community overall. Securing and delivering a reliable supply of radioisotopes should also increase the demand for Positron’s complementary products.

Positron’s business strategy is to gain a dominant market share through the vertical integration of such key components: imaging technologies, clinical services, radiopharmaceutical and radioisotope processing, production, and distribution. Positron creates market efficiencies by integrating these critical components. Positron intends to maximize market share by offering cost-effective, value added solutions to end-users that meet the current and future nuclear cardiology market demands.

PET vs. SPECT

There are two main imaging modalities utilized in nuclear cardiology: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, or SPECT, and Positron Emission Tomography, or PET.

In myocardial perfusion imaging, PET has been proven to be superior in sensitivity and specificity when compared to SPECT, the more commonly utilized modality. Cardiac PET scans, with Rb-82 Chloride or Nitrogen-13 Ammonia (N-13), result in a lower patient radiation exposure and is capable of performing superior quantitative measurements such as coronary flow reserve. Cardiac PET imaging has been shown to provide a 50% reduction in invasive coronary arteriography and coronary artery bypass grafting, leading to a 30% costs savings and improved clinical outcomes, when compared to SPECT (M.E. Merhige, M.D., et al. Journal Nuclear Medicine 2007; 48: 1069-1076).

The cardiac PET equipment market is much smaller than SPECT, but has seen significant annual growth of 30% during the last decade. According to Bracco Diagnostics, there were approximately 160 dedicated cardiac PET & PET/CT scanners performing nuclear cardiology within the U.S. in 2010, a tenfold increase since 2006.

Barriers to entry

For many years, one of the major constraints for adoption of this modality had been the high cost of PET and PET/CT scanners. Many practices and hospitals could not justify the cost of a new system for cardiac studies. In 2010, Positron received FDA clearance to market and distribute its dedicated PET system, which is optimized for nuclear cardiology. The Attrius is the only new, cost effective, dedicated PET system available on the market. Other system manufacturers (GE, Philips, Siemens) offer PET/CT cameras, which have a 200%-300% higher purchase price; PET/CT systems also possess attributes that may affect the accuracy of a perfusion study, leading to false positives.

Another more recent issue that has slowed the growth of nuclear cardiology is the shortage of the key drugs utilized in both SPECT (Mo-99/Tc-99m) and PET imaging (Sr-82/Rb-82).

The Sr-82 isotope decays to produce the Rb-82 tracer utilized in cardiac PET studies. Rb-82 is the most commonly used cardiac PET tracer in the United States. The FDA approved Rb-82 in 1989 for use in the detection of coronary artery disease and the Health Care Financing Administration approved reimbursement for Rb-82, PET MPI, in 1995 as a first line test in symptomatic patients. Rubidium is uniformly available through generator production in the U.S. and is used in conjunction with an automatic infusion system.

Over the past five years the explosive growth of cardiac PET imaging has driven a significant increase in the use of Sr-82/Rb-82 generators. The increasing demand for Sr-82 is beginning to outpace supply. Until recently, the U.S. Department of Energy had been the only entity in the United States capable of providing this material. In August of 2012, MIT submitted its DMF with the FDA and has begun production of API grade strontium-82.

Due to the growing demand and limited supply, the industry suffered a Sr-82 shortage in January 2011, effecting supply of Rb-82 generators. The same year Bracco Diagnostics Inc., the sole market supplier of the Rb-82 generator, underwent a voluntary recall of generators, further stunting industry sales and growth.

Positron is acutely focused on production of Sr-82. Positron possesses certain resources and technical advantages, unique to MIT, which will increase current and future strontium supply. Positron anticipates the cardiac PET market to rebound in late 2013, beginning with Bracco’s ability to now accept new generator customers, and with accelerated expansion upon market entry of the DraxImage’s generator, once FDA approved.

70 MeV Cyclotron Project

Pursuing a strategy of complementary product integration, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Positron Isotopes Corporation, Positron seeks to build and operate a high-energy cyclotron facility used primarily for the production of medical diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy isotopes. The proposed 70MeV cyclotron is unique and capable of producing isotopes that are not available, or have very limited availability, from other commercial sources in the United States.

The major isotope to be produced is Sr-82, which is currently in short supply worldwide and is produced in the U.S. only by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories in Los Alamos, New Mexico and Brookhaven, New York. Sr-82 is the parent isotope used in the production of Rb-82 generators for PET myocardial perfusion imaging. Positron will have an access to a Rb-82 generator through a proprietary relationship with a major manufacturer or its own Rb-82 generator and intends to utilize all Sr-82 produced by the facility to supply its cardiac PET client base. This allows Positron to have a complete, integrated, supply chain. Positron’s captive customer base of Attrius® owners and the existing robust PET users require a constant supply of radiopharmaceuticals manufactured from the Sr-82 radioisotope, giving us a significant advantage against any potential commercial competition.

A key point in determining the competitive landscape of U.S. Sr-82 production is the policy of the DOE to not compete with the private sector. While the DOE produces a majority of Sr-82 in the world, once Sr-82 is reasonably available commercially, the DOE can be compelled to withdraw from the market. Positron intends to couple the cyclotron with facilities for material processing, isotope target manufacturing, radiopharmaceutical manufacturing and equipment manufacturing operations; this facility, which may be located in Gary, Indiana, will also host Positron’s corporate headquarters.

With the recent growth of cardiac PET imaging, the supply of isotopes is quickly moving towards capacity within the next one-three years. Annual demand for medical imaging products, produced by a high-energy cyclotron, are currently estimated at over $20 million and is expected to reach $30-35 million over the next few years, with continued growth estimated at 25-30% per year thereafter.

The DOE lists many isotopes for medical treatment or diagnostics that are in short supply, some of which can be produced in a high-energy commercial accelerator. Moving from R&D to clinical trials and then to commercial use, these isotopes will further expand the market. Additionally, using secondary targets, a high-energy cyclotron can also produce low-energy isotopes, in conjunction with, the production of high-energy isotopes, generating additional revenue. Positron Corporation can be a key market maker in all these segments and can enter the market, essentially, without competition. The revenue potential and diversity inherent in this project is considerable.

The cost of the project, including equipment, building, land, working capital and contingencies, is approximately $65 million with itemized costs detailed in the business plan. The facility is expected to be located in the city of Gary, Indiana, concurrent with the relocation of Positron’s corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities. Positron has accepted a proposal from Gary, Indiana for $30 million in economic incentives through the issuance of long-term Economic Development Tax Increment Revenue Bonds (“TIF Bonds”) and New Market Tax Credits (“NMTC”).

Total amount of funding Positron seeks is $65 million; $30 million in corporate debt financing, $15 million in TIF bonds financing, $10 million in NMTC equity investment (approximate net proceeds) and $10 million in equity financing.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there are more than 22,000 cardiovascular diseases specialists in the U.S., and their number will increase to 31,000 by 2020. This is the target market for our products and services, as well as hospitals in the United States that performs or could perform nuclear cardiac procedures and want to automate the delivery of radiopharmaceuticals. By adding complimentary products, we are able to offer customers value added solutions which include low cost molecular imaging devices, maintenance service, disease specific software, radiopharmaceutical unit doses drawing devices, and, potentially, radiopharmaceuticals agents for Cardiac Nuclear Medicine.

Cardiac Nuclear medicine helps in the diagnosis, management and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients. Radiopharmaceuticals are injected into a patient to provide the most accurate, non-invasive test for identifying narrowed coronary arteries, mild cholesterol build-up or diffuse coronary vascular disease, conditions that are responsible for almost all heart attacks.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and constitutes 17% of overall national health expenditures (Forecasting the Future of Cardiovascular Disease in the United States, American Heart Association, 2011). Direct CVD costs are projected to increase from $273 Billion, in 2010, to $818 Billion, in 2030; with indirect costs, due to lost productivity, expected to rise from $172 Billion to $276 Billion by 2030.

Market Potential

The cardiac PET industry has an indisputable need for a stable, efficient and economical environment. Through Positron’s leadership and vision to integrate each key segment of the cardiac PET supply chain, the Company will stimulate growth and increase capacity to meet the needs of the global cardiac PET market. Positron intends to become the premier product, services, and solutions provider in the nuclear cardiology industry.

Although the cardiac PET industry experienced its most challenging year ever, it enabled the Company to aggressively pursue its strategy toward aggregating and integrating the key components critical in securing the cardiac value chain. Positron is dedicated to lowering the barriers that have been constricting, or could later constrict, the progress of medical advancements in cardiac PET. Through our efforts to supplement the supply of key radioisotopes and our ability to offer innovative products and services, management has methodically positioned Positron to become the industry’s only end-to-end solutions provider. PET is the future of nuclear cardiology.

We believe that Positron is the only company with the critical components to vertically integrate the fragmented “single source supplier environment” that exists in the cardiac PET market today and that these initiatives are intended to drive the Company towards consistent profitability and cash flow.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s chief executive and financial officer has determined that there is a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures.

The material weakness in our disclosure control procedures is as follows:

Audit Committee and Financial Expert . The Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

The Company intends to form an Audit Committee that will establish policies and procedures that will provide the Board of Directors a formal review process that will among other things, assure that management controls and procedures are in place and being maintained consistently. The Company anticipates that this action will remediate the related material weakness.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
