File No. 000-26575
Dear Mr. Rosenberg,
In response to comments raised by Ms. Keira Ino of the staff of the Commission in our telephone conversation of February 28, 2006, we plan to include the following additional language in the “Controls and Procedures” item in the Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K/A of U.S. Neurosurgical, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2004. (We have underlined the language added in response to the request of the Commision’s staff to provide further details as to the steps taken by management to remedy the material weaknesses found in the Company’s controls and procedures relating to financial reporting for asset retirement obligations.)
“As further discussed in Note A[1] to the consolidated financial statements, we have restated the consolidated financial statements in order to reflect the cumulative effect of adopting the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS No. 143”), in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003, rather than reflecting it directly within retained earnings.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Form 10-K/A”) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2005 (the “Original Filing”). In connection with the restatement of the consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-K/A, under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, management reevaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and determined that the failure to correctly apply SFAS No. 143 constituted a material weakness in the Company’s control over financial reporting for asset retirement obligations.
In connection with the preparation and filing of this Form 10-K/A, management of the Company took certain steps to enhance its disclosure controls and procedures, not only in connection with the deficiency with respect to asset retirement obligations, but also due to other recent changes in the Company’s operations, including (1) transition to a new independent auditing firm with offices closer to the Company, in part to introduce greater responsiveness and cost-effectiveness, (2) the sudden death of our former CFO and (3) issues with major customers that have required us to re-evaluate operations to achieve greater efficiencies. The Company chose not to hire a new CFO at this time, but in the interests of efficiency, one of the Company’s outside directors will play a greeter role in the reporting and disclosure process (the “Director/Advisor”) and
a part-time controller has been retained. Consideration is being given to increasing the size of the Board of Directors and steps have been taking to providing the members of the Audit Committee with broader access to employees and advisors responsible for accounting and financial reporting. In addition, the Company has formed a Disclosure Committee, initially consisting of the CEO and the Director/Advisor, which will periodically review the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, will take steps to ensure that material information is available to the Disclosure Committee (as well as the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee) on a timely basis and will have principal oversight and responsibility for the preparation of periodic reports. In addition, the Disclosure Committee is charged with evaluating the applicability and the appropriate implementation of prevailing accounting standards and concepts and pronouncements issued by the FASB and other regulatory bodies and
self-regulatory organizations (such as SFAS 143). While these steps were prompted in large part by recent changes in the Company’s operations, these adjustments will improve disclosure controls and procedures generally, and specifically as they relate to the previously identified deficiency in reporting for asset retirement obligations as provided under SFAS 143.
Management believes that it has fully remediated the weakness identified as to asset retirement obligations as of the date of filing of this report. Based upon the Company’s reevaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the actions taken to remediate the deficiency, and the modifications to the Company’s controls and procedures described above, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K/A for the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under
2
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.”

File No. 000-26575
Dear Mr. Rosenberg,
In response to comments raised by Ms. Keira Ino of the staff of the Commission during the week ending February 10, 2006, we are planning to take the following actions regarding the above referenced filings:
1.
We plan on modifying the “Explanatory Note” that will be included in Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K of U.S. Neurosurgical, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “Form 10-K/A”), to read as attached hereto (Exhibit A). This revision makes clear that, among other things, management of the Company has reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the date of the original filing of the Form 10-K and determined that the failure to correctly apply SFAS No. 143 constituted a material weakness in our control over financial reporting for asset retirement obligations. We plan also to modify the language of the item in the Form 10-K/A entitled “Controls and Procedures” to read as attached (Exhibit B) to explain this reevaluation, state that management believes that it has fully remediated that
weakness, and state that based upon that reevaluation and the actions taken to
remediate the deficiency, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will be
effective as of the date of the filing of this report on Form 10-K/A.
2.
The clarifications to the Explanatory Note referred to above eliminate references to the Commission’s staff and makes clear that management believes that the
restatement of the consolidated financial statements and the other changes to be included in the Form 10-K/A are necessary in management’s opinion in order to comply with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and the regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This will confirm that in providing this information and in making the amended filings, we acknowledge that:
•
Our company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings;
•
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
•
Our company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at (800) 990-0293 or agold@ghsusn.com.
Sincerely,
Alan Gold

Exhibit A
Letter from U.S. Neurosurgical, Inc. to Securities and Exchange Commission
February 17, 2006
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Form 10-K/A”) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 13, 2005 (the “Original Filing”) reflects a restatement of our consolidated financial statements in order to reflect the cumulative effect of adopting the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS No. 143”), in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003, rather than reflecting it directly within retained earnings. This resulted in restatement of the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, consolidated statements of cash flows and notes E and M to reflect the $84,000 (net of
income tax effect of $56,000) change in the results of operations of the Company. Conforming changes were also made to the Selected Financial Data for 2003 presented in Item 6 of the Form 10-K/A and to the quarterly data presented in Item 8. These changes affect only the results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
In addition, in order to provide a clearer understanding of our disclosure controls and procedures, and one that is consistent with current regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Regulations”), we have revised our disclosure in Item 14 of Form 10-K/A – “Controls and Procedures”.
We have also amended our discussion in Item 14 of Form 10-K/A - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” – in order to provide the tabular format for the disclosures of our contractual obligations as required under the Regulations.
Although this Form 10-K/A contains all of the items required to be included in an annual report on Form 10-K, no information in the Original Filing, other than specifically indicated above, is amended hereby.
Upon discovery of the incorrect application of SFAS No. 143, management reported its findings to its independent public accounting firms and to the audit committee of the board of directors. After further discussions between management and its independent public accounting firms, management recommended to the audit committee that our previously reported 2003 financial statements should be restated to correct this error, and the audit committee agreed with this recommendation. As a result of the decision to restate our consolidated financial statements and make the other modifications described above, we reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the date of the Original Filing and determined that the failure to correctly apply SFAS No. 143 constituted a material weakness in our control over financial reporting for asset retirement obligations. Management
believes that it has fully remediated that weakness as of the date of filing of this report. (See “Item 14. Controls and Procedures.” )
This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Consequently, all other information is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made subsequent to the Original Filing. With this Form 10-K/A, our Chief Executive Officer has also reissued his certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Letter from U.S. Neurosurgical, Inc. to Securities and Exchange Commission

ITEM 14.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As further discussed in Note A[1] to the consolidated financial statements, we have restated the consolidated financial statements in order to reflect the cumulative effect of adopting the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS No. 143”), in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003, rather than reflecting it directly within retained earnings.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In connection with the restatement of the consolidated financial statements, under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, management reevaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and determined that the failure to correctly apply SFAS No. 143 constituted a material weakness in the Company’s control over financial reporting for asset retirement obligations. Management believes that it has fully remediated that weakness as of the date of filing of this report. Based upon that
reevaluation and the actions taken to remediate the deficiency, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of the filing of this report for the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Dear Mr.
Rosenberg,
In response
to your letter of December 23, 2005 regarding File No. 000-26575 we are
planning to take the following actions:
1.
We will file
an Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K of U.S. Neurosurgical, Inc. (the
“Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2004, revising the disclosures as
follows:
a.
The
discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources will be revised so that the
Company’s obligations will be presented in a tabular format as required by
Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K.
b.
Based on our
review of Rule 15d-15(c), we will include a discussion in the amended filing
consistent with the current version of this rule, noting that management of
the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by the report.
c.
Based upon
our review of paragraph 26 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s
Statement No.143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, we will
restate the consolidated financial statements in order to reflect the
cumulative effect of adopting FAS 143 in the statement of operations, rather
than reflecting it directly within retained earnings. This will result in
restatement of the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated
statements of stockholders’ equity, consolidated statements of cash flows and
notes A[1], E and M. Conforming changes will also made to the Selected
Financial Data for 2003 presented in Item 6 of the Form 10-K/A and to the
quarterly data presented in Item 8.
2.
We will
re-filed our quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2005 on Form
10-Q (replacing the previously filed Form 10-QSB). As indicated in the
Explanatory Note, the only substantive change from the previous filing is the
inclusion of disclosure about market risk in Item 3. We plan to enter the
small business filing system in fiscal year 2006.
This
submission includes the changed sections of each of the reports to be filed,
redlined to highlight those changes to assist you in your review:
Attachment
1:
Changed
sections of 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (without consolidated financial

Attachment
2:

filings;
•
Staff
comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not

<R>EXPLANATORY
NOTE</R>
<R>In
response to a comment letter received from the staff of the Division of
Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have revised
our disclosure in the following items of this Form 10-K:</R>
<R>Item
7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and </R>
<R>Item
14 – “Controls and Procedures” </R>
<R>In
addition, in response to comments from the staff, we have restated the
consolidated financial statements in order to reflect the cumulative effect of
adopting the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, in the statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2003, rather than reflecting it directly within
retained earnings. This resulted in
restatement of the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated
statements of stockholders’ equity, consolidated statements of cash flows and
notes E and M to reflect the $84,000 (net of income tax effect of $56,000)
change in the results of operations of the Company. Conforming changes were also made to the Selected Financial Data
for 2003 presented in Item 6 of the Form 10-K/A and to the quarterly data presented
in Item 8. These changes affect only
the results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. </R>
<R>We
have not reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the date of
this Amendment No. 1 or modified or updated other disclosures presented in the
original report on Form 10-K. This Form
10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-K or
modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Consequently, all other information is
unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the original filing
of the Form 10-K on October 3, 2005.
Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our
filings made subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-K. With this Amendment No. 1 our Chief
Executive Officer has also reissued his certifications required by Sections 302
and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. </R>

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and Notes set forth elsewhere in this report.
Results of Operations
2004 Compared to 2003
Patient
revenue decreased 2% to $2,403,000 in 2004 compared to $2,444,000 in 2003.
Patient expenses decreased 5% to $780,000 in 2004 from $820,000 in 2003. S,G
& A decreased 2% to $1,384,000 in 2004 from $1,411,000 in 2003. Income from
operations was $239,000 in 2004 compared to $213,000 in 2003. Interest expense
declined 31% to $59,000 in 2004 from $86,000 in 2003. This was due to the
paydown of principal on the Gamma Knife cobalt lease. In 2005, interest expense
will increase due to the replacement of the Kansas City Gamma Knife with a newer
model. As a result of the above, net income was $123,000 compared to $61,000 in
2003. The trends of the recent past lead us to believe that reimbursement will
continue to remain at current levels.
2003 Compared to 2002
Patient
revenue declined 7% to $2,444,000 in 2003 as compared to $2,639,000. The
decrease was mainly due to the reload of the cobalt source at our NYU site
during the summer of 2003. The site was not available for use for about one
month. Reimbursement continued at the same levels as the prior year. Patient
expenses declined 12% to $820,000 from $930,000 in 2002. The decrease was due
to decreased depreciation on the knives. Selling, general and administrative
expense (S,G & A) increased 2% to $1,411,000 from $1,386,000 in the previous
year. Interest expense declined 48% to 85,000 in 2003 from $160,000 in 2002.
This was due to the payoff of the NYU Gamma Knife lease. As a result of the
above the net income was $61,000 as compared to $98,000 in 2002.
4
During
2003, the Company adopted FAS 143 and recorded asset retirement obligations of
$200,000 based upon estimated amounts, consisting principally of removal of
Gamma Knives and disposal of regulated materials and the restoration of
facilities at NYU and RMC. The pro
forma amount of the liability as of January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002 would
also approximate $200,000. Such
liabilities have been measured using current information, current assumptions
and current interest rates and have been recorded with a corresponding increase
in the carrying value of the Gamma Knives.
The Company is amortizing such costs over the lives of the respective
useful lives from inception.
<R>
Upon
initial application of FAS 143, the Company has recognized $140,000 of
accumulated depreciation and a deferred tax asset of $56,000 and a decrease
in net income of $84,000 as the cumulative effect of the accounting
method change during the year ended December 31, 2003. Application of the
provisions of FAS 143 would have resulted in a decrease in net income of
approximately $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. If the Company had
adopted this standard effective January 1, 2003, total assets, liabilities and
accumulated deficit at the end of each of the first three quarters would have
increased by $120,000, $200,000 and $80,000, respectively. In addition,
amortization expense would be $1,000 higher in each of the first three quarters
of 2003.
</R>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At
December 31, 2004 the Company had a working capital surplus of $86,000 as
compared to a working capital deficit of $359,000 at December 31, 2003. Cash
and cash equivalents at December 31, 2003 were $511,000 as compared to $89,000
at December 31, 2003. Net cash provided
by operating activities was $497,000 as compared with $992,000 for the same
period a year earlier. Depreciation and amortization was $566,000 as compared
to $779,000 in 2003. Accounts
receivable increased $32,000 during the year as compared to an decrease of $142,000
in 2003. Accounts payable decreased by $159,000 during 2004 as compared to
$21,000 in 2003. The Company paid its outstanding obligation of $100,000 with
Elekta during 2004
5
Net
cash used in investing activities for the year ended 2004 was $1,071,000 as
compared to $1,014,000 in the year ago period. The Company has made progress
payments for $1,282,000 towards its new Gamma Knife and also resolved the
$211,000 in escrow to pay its debt obligations.
Net
cash used in financing activites for the year ended December 31, 2004 was
$996,000 as compared to $23,000 in 2003. The Company paid $1,014,000 towards
its capital leases in 2004 as compared to $688,000 in 2003. The Company
borrowed $2,010,000 for progress capital and cobalt reload purposes during
2004. The Company also retired 205,000 shares in 2004.

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.
Asset
retirement obligations:
6
In June 2001,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Statement No. 143,
“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” (“FAS 143”) effective for the
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Accordingly, the Company recorded
liabilities for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets based the estimated fair value of such liabilities. The
estimated costs of these obligations is capitalized as costs of the assets
subject to the retirement obligations and amortized over the lives of the
assets.

RE: U.S. Neurosurgical, Inc.
Form 8-K filed December 16, 2004
File No. 000-26575
Dear Mr. Gold:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments.
Where
indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to
these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation
as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is
unnecessary.
Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. We
welcome
any questions you may have about our comments. Feel free to
contact
us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.
1. Please revise the disclosure in the filing to state if there
were
any disagreements during the two most recent fiscal years and the
subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal. See Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and revise accordingly.
2. In providing the disclosures required by Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K, please specifically address the two most recent
fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date of
dismissal of the former accountant. Regarding the two most recent
fiscal years, it is not appropriate to state "in connection with
the
audit". Please revise accordingly.
3. The second paragraph stipulates that you filed a copy of the
Eisner letter, dated November 24, 2004 as Exhibit 16.1. The
Exhibit
was not filed. Please amend the report to include a letter from
Eisner LLP.
4. In providing the disclosure required by Item 304(a)(2), please
revise disclosures to indicate that the Company has not consulted
with Goodman & Co. during the two most recent fiscal year and the
interim period through date of engagement or advise appropriately.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy
of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be
certain
that they have provided all information investors require. Since
the
company and its management are in possession of all facts relating
to
a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosures they have made.
In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in
writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that
* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filings;
* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement
has
access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division
of
Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to
our comments on your filing.
The amendment requested should be filed via EDGAR within 5
business
days of the date of this letter and should be reviewed by the
former
accountants. The letter required by Exhibit 16 should cover the
revised disclosures. Please note that if you require longer than
5
business days to respond, you should contact the staff immediately
to
request additional time. Direct any questions regarding the above
to
me at (202) 942-7332
Sincerely,
Kevin Woody
Staff Accountant
