Daxor has been reporting as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 since January 1, 2012. If the company was still reporting as a 1934 Act Company, we would have shown net income of $4,528,824 or $1.15 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company had $21,356,338 of margin loans payable at December 31, 2014 and $7,937,912 of margin loans payable at June 30, 2015. However, since the company reports as an investment company, we are reporting a decrease in net assets for the six month period ended June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2015, the Company had net assets of $19,530,149 or $5.01 per share versus net assets of $24,580,735 or $6.16 per share at December 31, 2014.

These amounts were offset by a net change in the unrealized depreciation on investments of $(7,117,879), realized losses on the sale of short positions of $(5,371,173) and a net change to the unrealized depreciation on the Company's Operating Division of $(1,885,169). The net change in the unrealized depreciation on investments of $(7,117,879) includes a charge of $(9,082,090) which is the decrease in the net fair value over cost of the Company's securities portfolio from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

The annualized portfolio turnover rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 4.44% which indicates an average holding period of over 20 years for our investment portfolio. The investment approach of management is to buy stocks which it is prepared to hold for the long term.

At June 30, 2015, net fair value over cost of the Company's securities portfolio totaled $11,696,996. This was comprised of net fair value over cost of $11,925,229 and net cost over fair value of $(228,233).The Company's results from investments for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are disclosed in greater detail in the Form N-CSR which will be filed on Monday.

Michael Feldschuh, the Executive Vice-President of Daxor, stated, "Our trailing financial results reinforce our conviction that current restructuring of operations toward efficiency and profitability, which have begun in earnest in the past quarter, will be crucial to generating positive results in the coming fiscal year. We have identified important opportunities to leverage our sales efforts and will continue to pursue partnerships with entities that are promising as we add resources and rigor to this important effort."

Dr. Feldschuh, the CEO of Daxor, added the following: "We are focused on outreach to our client hospitals and members of the medical community so that understanding of the need for measuring patient's blood volume precisely to improve outcomes will become more widespread. The precise knowledge of a patient's blood volume is essential for optimally treating critically ill medical and surgical patients. Our goal is to make our method of blood volume measurement the standard of care for any patient experiencing a blood volume derangement."

The Company is continuing its stock buyback program and plans to declare and pay a dividend in December of 2015.
