Dear Fellow Shareholder:
It is my pleasure to report on Daxor’s results for the mid-year ended June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, Daxor’s unaudited net assets were $32,655,262 or $6.75 per share as compared to $30,359,013, or $6.33 per share at June 30, 2023 and compared to the audited $34,010,384, or $7.08 at December 31, 2023. For the unaudited six-month period ended June 30, 2024, Daxor had net dividend income of $63,678, and net realized gains on investment activity of $393,356. There was a net decrease in the unrealized appreciation on investments, of $362,402 as we sold positions during 2024 and prior periods significant unrealized gains unwound into the gains for the period. Included in the Net Decrease in Net Assets Resulting From Operations of $1,630,817 for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, is non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $275,695 and an additional investment of $1,296,087 into the operating division relating to spending on clinical trial research, next generation product development, growth of the commercial sales organization and overhead. This compares to the results of the same comparative period of the year before of a Net Decrease in Net Assets Resulting From Operations of $3,037,182, including an additional investment in the operating division of $2,445,170. The reduction of the investment in the operating division is the result of increased revenue in the operation division due to increased sales of BVA system devices, BVA test kits and increased revenue from contracts with the Department of Defence. The Company continues to invest judiciously in research and development for our 2024/2025 product launch, ramping the commercial sales teams, as well as production facilities for our next generation blood volume analyzers.
We maintain a diversified securities portfolio comprised primarily of electric utility company common and preferred stocks. Regarding the performance of these investment securities, utilities were a low-performing sector of the market, particularly in the first half of 2024. In the first half of 2024, the economy delivered better-than-feared results, with continued—albeit moderating—growth led by resilient consumer spending amid ongoing labor market strength. As inflationary pressures eased, the Federal Reserve Bank slowed the pace of monetary tightening, which encouraged investors, as did stronger-than-expected earnings reports. In late summer, markets stumbled again in the face of the increasing likelihood that the Fed would maintain rates at elevated levels for longer than previously expected, due to rising energy prices, sustained wage pressures, and the broad persistence of above-target inflation. Recent downward adjustments to estimates of job growth and announcements by the Fed that rates may be cut soon have led to a rally in the prices of stocks in the Company’s investment portfolio since the end of the second quarter of 2024.
Daxor has been reporting as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 since January 1, 2012. See the Notes to the Financial Statements of Form N-CSR for further information on Daxor’s strategies and goals regarding its investments in publicly traded securities to help fund its diagnostic operations. Because of its significant holding of publicly traded securities, the SEC currently classifies Daxor as a closed-end investment management company with a fully owned medical operating division; however, the primary focus of management is on our operational objectives. Daxor anticipates that as the value of the operating company continues to increase as a percentage of assets owned, it will be eligible to file under its previous designation as an operating company and report as an operating company and will take steps to accomplish this result.
Any shareholder who is interested in learning more about our medical instrumentation and biotechnology operations should visit our website at www.daxor.com or contact our investor relations representative Bret Shapiro of CORE IR at 516-222-2560 for more detailed information. We periodically issue press releases regarding research reports and placements of the BVA-100 Blood Volume Analyzer in hospitals.
In order to sign up for electronic delivery of shareholder reports and prospectuses, please send an email to [email protected]. If you do not hold your account directly with Daxor, please contact the firm that holds your account about electronic delivery.
Cordially Yours,
Michael Feldschuh

1. Organization and Investment Objective
Daxor Corporation (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company.
The Company qualifies as a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules, as the estate of Joseph Feldschuh, M.D. controls more than 50% of the Company’s voting power, as evidenced by the Company’s ownership records. The estate owns 53.1% of the outstanding shares. As a result, the estate has the ability to control the outcome on any matter requiring the approval of shareholders of the Company.
The Company’s investment goals, objectives and principal strategies are as follows:
A. | The Company’s investment goals and objectives are capital preservation, maintaining returns on capital with a high degree of safety and generating income from dividends and option sales to help offset operating losses from the Company’s operating division. |
B. | In order to achieve these goals, the Company maintains a diversified securities portfolio comprised primarily of electric utility company common and preferred stocks. The Company also sells covered calls on portions of its portfolio and also sells puts on stocks it is willing to own. It also sells uncovered calls and may have net short positions in common stock up to 15% of the value of the portfolio. The net short position is the total fair market value of the Company’s short positions reduced by the amount due to the Company from the broker. If the amount due from the broker is more than the fair market value of the short positions, the Company will have a net receivable from the broker. The Company’s investment policy is to maintain a minimum of 80% of its portfolio in equity securities of utility companies. The Board of Directors has authorized this minimum to be temporarily lowered to 70% when Company management deems it to be necessary. Investments in utilities are primarily in electric companies. Investments in non-utility stocks will generally not exceed 20% of the value of the portfolio. |
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The Company is unique in nature, as it reports as a closed-end investment company but its focus and operations are as a medical device manufacturing, company. For measurement of its investments in securities, the Company follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, ASC 946, as stated above. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.
Valuation of Investments
The Company carries its investments in securities at fair value and utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. Fair value is an estimate of the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (i.e., the exit price at the measurement date). Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available (ASC Topic 820).

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
2. Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
Valuations of Investments (continued)
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Investments in securities, securities borrowed and put and call options that are freely traded and are listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year; securities traded on the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices.
The Company establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure that the valuation techniques for investments that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are fair, consistent, and verifiable. At June 30, 2024 Level 3 investments consist solely of the operating division at fair value. The Company’s Audit Committee oversees the valuation process of the Company’s Level 3 investments. The Audit Committee is comprised of members of the Company’s Board of Directors and is responsible for the valuation processes and procedures and evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies. For this valuation process, the Audit Committee meets semi-annually or as needed, and, in conjunction with reports from an independent valuation company, determines the valuations of the Company’s Level 3 investments. Valuations determined by the Audit Committee are required to be supported by the independent valuation company whose reports may include information such as market data, third-party pricing sources, industry accepted pricing models, counterparty prices, or other appropriate methods. On an annual basis, the Company engages the services of an independent valuation company to perform an independent review of the valuation of the Company’s operating division on a standalone basis, and may adjust its valuation based on the recommendations from the valuation firm.
The Company is not a party to any advisory services agreements and as such has no related liabilities.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
Valuation of Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative instruments under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments be recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at fair value. The changes in the fair values of derivatives are included in the Statements of Operations as a component of net realized and unrealized loss from investments.
Investment Transactions and Income and Expenses
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the basis of identifying the specific securities delivered. Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Realized gains and loses are net of transaction fees.
Investments in Operating Division Transactions
Investment in operating division transactions are accounted for using the accrual method of accounting. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the operating division is based on the results of the valuation of the operating division, performed annually under the guidance of Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, compared to the underlying cost of the investment in the operating division. The cost of the operating division is based on the original cost of the purchase of the assets of the operating division and subsequent capital infusions into the investment in the operating division.
Distributions
Net investment income and net realized gains are accumulated within the Company and used to pay expenses, to make additional investments or held in cash as a reserve and at the discretion of the Company, to pay dividends to shareholders.
Revenue Recognition
ACS Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” This pronouncement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences of events attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period in which the enactment rate changes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced through the establishment of a valuation allowance at such time as, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

3. Fair Value Measurements of Investments, Financial Instruments and Related Risks
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2024 for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2024, categorized by the above mentioned fair value hierarchy and also by denomination. As noted above, the valuation of the Company’s operating division on a standalone basis is determined on a yearly basis.
Assets | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Common Stocks | $ | 1,996,593 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 1,996,593 | ||||||||
Preferred Stocks | 358,848 | - | - | 358,848 | ||||||||||||

The Company purchases equity securities in the form of common and preferred stocks, primarily in the utility sector and these comprise the investment securities held by the Company. The common and preferred stocks are recorded at fair value at the unadjusted closing quoted price on active securities markets.
Purchased call and put options: When the Company purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Company is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the value of which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. If the purchased option expires, the Company realizes a loss equal to the amount of premium paid. When an instrument is purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the related premium paid is added to the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from the proceeds of the instrument sold. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.
Written call and put options: When the Company writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Company is recorded as an obligation on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the value of which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the written option. If the written option expires, the Company realizes a gain equal to the amount of premium received. When an instrument is purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the related premium received is adjusted to the basis of the instrument acquired or the instrument sold. The risk associated with writing options is based on the difference between the strike price of the option and current market price of the underlying security less premium received. See Note 8 for further discussion of Investment and Market Risk Factors and risks of written call and put options. The Company did not invest in option instruments during the six month period ended June 30, 2024.
Securities sold short: The Company may sell securities that it does not own, and it will therefore be obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Company records an unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the value of the open short position. The Company records a realized gain or loss when a short position is closed out. By entering into short sales, the Company bears the market risk of increases in the value of the security sold short in excess of the proceeds received. Possible losses from short sales differ from losses that could be incurred from purchases of securities because losses from short sales may be unlimited whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. See Note 1 regarding the Company’s investment goals and its use of covered positions and Note 8 for further discussion of Investment and Market Risk Factors. The Company did not invest in short positions at June 30, 2024.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company realized proceeds of $518,774 from the sale of investment securities, with the proceeds being used to fund the Company’s operating division.
All transfers are recognized by the Company at the end of each reporting period. Transfers between Levels 2 and 3 (if any) generally relate to whether significant unobservable inputs are used for the fair value measurements. See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies for additional information related to the fair value hierarchy and valuation techniques and inputs. During the six month period ended June 30, 2024 there were no transfers between Levels.

3. Fair Value Measurements of Investments, Financial Instruments and Related Risks (continued)
The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the year ended June 30, 2024:
Balance at | ||||
June 30, 2024 | ||||
Balance, December 31, 2023 | $ | 32,000,000 | ||

Balance, June 30, 2024 | $ | 32,000,000 |
The Company’s Level 3 asset consists of the operating division at fair value and requires significant judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity, heavy reliance on Level 3 inputs, and the long-term nature of such investments. The medical operating division is not a subsidiary or a separate legal entity, and forms part of Daxor. Since the Company’s operating division has not generated significant revenue and has incurred substantial operating losses. Due to these substantial losses, the operating division has been dependent on funding from the sale of, or earnings on, the Company’s investment securities, or proceeds from our margin facility to sustain operations. The primary assets of the operating division are primarily located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and were initially valued at transaction value for identified assets (property and equipment, land, buildings and laboratory equipment), less accumulated depreciation adjusted for advances to the operating division, business operations and activity and realized losses. Based on Company initiatives started in 2016 and through 2023, related to potential partnerships, joint ventures, product development, marketing and other operations of the operating division, the Company hired an independent valuation company to perform a valuation of the operating division on a standalone basis. The Company updated the initial 2016 valuation and subsequent valuations at December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2023, using the blended Income and Market Approaches as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS 157 (ASC Topic 820). Based on the valuation approaches, we determined a valuation of $32,000,000 at June 30, 2024 remains valid. In determining the Income Approach value range, the Gordon Growth Model valuation technique was used with a discount rate of 20.0% and long-term growth rate of 3.0%. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation could result in significant changes in fair value measurements. The Income Approach was weighted 35% split between the Gordon Growth model at 15% weight and the Exit Multiple at 20% weight, given the current financial performance and expectations as to longer-term revenue growth and profitability, and a Market Approach method split between Arm’s Length evidence at 30% and public trades weight at 35% for a total weight of 65% for the Market Approach. During 2023 the Company effected an Arm’s Length transaction in which it sold shares and raised $4.5 million, for the Company resulting in a market valuation of approximately $41 million. Management has reviewed and assessed this valuation and concluded the valuation is reasonable and remains valid at June 30, 2024.

The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $33,050,098 at June 30, 2024. Approximately $16,744,764 of these losses relates to years prior to 2018 and will begin to expire in 2033. Approximately $16,305,334 of these losses relates to the years 2018 through 2024, and will not expire, but are subject to limitations on usage.
The following table sets forth the net operating loss carryforwards by state and local jurisdiction at June 30, 2024:
Amount | Expiration Date | |||||
New York State | $ | 3,175,669 | 2035 to Indefinite | |||

At June 30, 2024, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in investment administrative expenses. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

5. Income Taxes (Benefit) - (continued)
In certain cases, the Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. The Company files federal, state and local income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2020 through 2022 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 542, a company is defined as a Personal Holding Company (“PHC”) if it meets both an ownership test and an income test. The ownership test is met if a company has five or fewer shareholders that own more than 50% of the company, which is applicable to Daxor. The income test is met if PHC income items such as dividends, interest and rents exceed 60% of adjusted ordinary gross income. Adjusted ordinary income is defined as all items of income except capital gains. For the year ended December 31, 2023, more than 60% of Daxor’s adjusted gross income came from items defined as PHC income.
Determining the PHC tax liability requires computing Daxor’s “undistributed PHC income” and taxing such PHC income at the statutory rate of 20%. Undistributed PHC income is current year taxable income of the Company, exclusive of the net operating loss carry forward deduction that is allowed for regular tax purposes. The Company incurred no liability for PHC for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 due to the net operating losses applied to realized gains incurred during the year.
Computed expected provision at statutory rates | (21.0 | )% | ||
State taxes | 5.2 | % | ||
Non-deductible/non-taxable and other items | (42.8 | )% | ||
Dividend received deduction and other items | 58.6 | % | ||
Effective income tax (benefit) rate | 0.0 | % |
The Company is not a party to any advisory services agreements and as such has no related liabilities.
6. Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes result from differences in the recognition of gains and losses on marketable securities, stock options, as well as from carryforwards of the Company’s net operating losses of approximately $33,050,098 at June 30, 2024, and tax credits of approximately $1,793,281 in research tax credits for tax purposes. At June 30, 2024 the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $4,004,343.

6. Deferred Income Taxes - (continued)
The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected in the following table:
Unrealized losses on investments in securities | $ | (347,335 | ) | |
Unrealized loss on investment in operating division | (6,824,325 | ) | ||
Net operating loss carryforward | 8,373,274 | |||
Business tax credits carried forward | 1,793,281 | |||
Others | 77,685 | |||
Deferred Income Tax Available for use | 3,072,580 | |||
Valuation allowance | (3,072,580 | ) | ||
Net Deferred Tax Asset | $ | - |
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future earnings. Due to the uncertainty of the realization of its net deferred tax assets, the Company has provided a valuation allowance. In assessing the potential to realize the deferred tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or perhaps all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making their assessment. The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $3,072,580 at June 30, 2024. The valuation allowance increased $307,801 from December 31, 2023. If the Company becomes profitable before the expiration of the loss carryforwards, it would have the ability to utilize them in order to offset any taxable income.
7. Investment and Market Risk Factors
The Company enters into investments in securities, call and put options and securities borrowed and/or financial instruments that may have off-balance sheet risks, where the potential loss due to changes in the market (market risk), failure of counterparty to perform on the transaction risk (credit risk) and other risk elements, such as interest rate risk, exceeds the value and/or obligations of such financial instruments. It is the Company’s general policy to mitigate such risks by transacting with established counterparties. The Company transacts with and custodies investment assets at UBS Financial Services, Inc. (the “Broker”).
The Company’s investments in securities arise from investments in long common and preferred stocks, selling common stocks short and transacting in put and call (naked and covered) options. These investments are subject to equity risks of increases and decreases in market exchange prices such as on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

7. Investment and Market Risk Factors - (continued)
The Company is subject to certain inherent risks arising from its investing activities of selling securities short and writing put and call options. Selling securities short creates an obligation to purchase the securities at an unknown future date, subject to the Company’s discretion, at the then prevailing future market prices. Securities borrowed create the risk that the ultimate obligation may exceed the liability reflected in these financial statements.
The Company collects premiums and the opportunity to create option premium income when writing put and call options if the options expire out-of-the-money. Writing put and call options gives the option buyer the right to exercise the option against the option writer. Writing put options obligates the writer to purchase the stock at the strike price if the stock’s current market price is below the strike price prior to expiration of the put option. The potential loss in writing a put option is the strike price less the premium collected if the stock price falls to zero. Writing call options obligates the writer to sell the stock at the strike price if the stock’s current market price is greater than the strike price prior to expiration of the call option. The potential loss in writing a naked call option is unlimited as the rise of a stock price is unlimited. The potential loss in writing a covered call is limited to the strike price less the cost of the underlying security the Company holds in the portfolio. The Company endeavors to write covered calls but may also write naked calls.
Cash receivable from the Broker (if any) and margin loans payable reflect accounts with the Broker. Margin loan payable represents obligations to the Broker for leveraging investments in securities. Investments in securities are collateral for the margin loan payable. The Company does not have the right of setoff nor netting agreements between brokers.
The Company’s investments may be subject to changes in interest rates as they may affect equity and option markets. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
The Company is subject to volatility risk which refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
Legal, tax and regulatory changes continue to occur in the United States and globally; additionally, regulatory environments, as a whole, continue to evolve and change. The effect of any future legal, tax and/or regulatory changes are unknown and could be substantial and adverse.
8. Portfolio Administrative Expenses
The Company reported $64,333 of portfolio administrative expenses, which are included in investment administrative charges on the Statement of Operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2024. These charges represent a portion of the payroll and related expenses of two (2) employees for services performed for the Company.

9. Margin Loan
The Company has total margin loan payable at June 30, 2024 of $1,649,644. This loan is secured by the Company’s investments in marketable securities. The interest expense on the margin loans for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 was $46,919. The ability of the Company to incur margin debt at any given time is based on the current amount outstanding and the market value of the portfolio of marketable securities. There are no set repayment terms for the Company’s margin loan.
The following table summarizes the margin loan activity for the year ended June 30, 2024:
Balance at 6/30/24 | Interest rate at 6/30/24 | Maximum amount outstanding during the six month period | Average amount outstanding during the six month period | Weighted average interest rate during the six month period | ||||||||||||||
$ | 1,649,644 | 6.546 | % | $ | 1,799,999 | $ | 1,485,199 | 6.539 | % |
The Company’s investment in securities detailed in Schedule 1 serves as collateral for the margin facility with the Broker.
10. Capital Stock
At June 30, 2024, there were 10,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value capital stock authorized. The paid-in capital of $14,019,900 at June 30, 2024 consists of the following amounts:

13. Stock Options
In June 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Daxor Corporation 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”). In April 2020, the Company received exemptive relief from the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the 2020 Plan was given approval to become operational effective in April, 2020. The 2020 Plan was approved by shareholders of the Company on June 25, 2020. In addition to Stock Options, awards under the 2020 Plan can consist of Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units, Cash Awards and Bonus Stock (collectively, “Stock Awards”). The 2020 Plan is an effort to provide incentive to employees, officers, agents, consultants, and independent contractors through proprietary interest. The Board of Directors acts as the Plan Administrator, and may issue these Stock Awards at its discretion.
The 2020 Plan replaced the 2004 Stock Option Plan.
The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2020 Plan is 250,000 or 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares, whichever is greater. The Company has obtained approval from shareholders to increase the number of shares available for issuance from 250,000 shares to 400,000 shares (or such lesser amount as may be determined by the Company), subject to the SEC granting an exemptive order to permit the operation of the 2020 Plan as amended, and the SEC may not elect to grant such order. Under the provisions of the 2020 Plan, the exercise price of any stock options issued is a minimum of 100% of the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date of the option. Previously, the Company issued options to various employees under the previous 2004 Stock Option Plan and the Stock Option Plan that was also administered by the Board of Directors. All issuances have varying vesting and expiration timelines. As of June 30, 2024, the 2020 Plan had 307,414 options outstanding and 191,434 were exercisable. The 2004 Stock Option Plan has 83 options outstanding and 83 are exercisable. The Company has not granted options under the 2004 Stock Option Plan since August 2018. The 2004 Stock Option Plan ceased operation upon approval of the 2020 Plan, although stock options that were awarded under the 2004 Plan that have not expired are still eligible to be exercised.
At June 30, 2024, there was $441,008 of unvested stock-based compensation expense to recognize. The Company recognized $631,701 of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in investment administrative charges in the Statement of Operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2024. There was no aggregate intrinsic value at June 30, 2024 as the closing price of the Company’s stock was lower than the average exercise price of the underlying options. The intrinsic value is calculated based on the difference between the closing market price of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the underlying options.
To calculate the option-based compensation, the Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company’s determination of fair value of option-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The expected volatility, holding period of options are based on historical experience.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2024, 7,690 stock options were granted to employees, Directors and outside consultants from the 2020 Plan with a weighted average exercise price of $8.71. The stock options granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2024 from the 2020 Plan are still outstanding and 191,434 stock options have vested as of June 30, 2024.
The fair values of stock options granted in the six month period ended June 30, 2024 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the six month period ended June 30, 2024.
2024 | ||||
Risk free rate | 5.02 | % | ||
Expected life (in years) | 4.76 | |||
Expected volatility | 53.77 | % | ||
Dividend yield | 0.00 | % | ||
Weighted Average grant date fair value per share | $ | 8.71 |
