Vasomedical Announces Strong Revenue Growth for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

WESTBURY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTC: VASO.PK), a diversified medical technology company specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of medical devices and in the domestic sale of diagnostic imaging products, today reported its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company recorded revenue of $6.04 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, compared to revenue of $4.85 million for same period in 2011, an increase of 25%. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $925,000 in EECP® and other medical equipment sales, or 175%, of which $578,000 was contributed by our recent acquisitions in China. Commission revenue at our wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc., d/b/a VasoHealthcare, also grew by $317,000, or 8%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2012. We continue to record substantial amounts of deferred revenues, which will be recognized once the underlying equipment or service is accepted or performed. As of March 31, 2012, total deferred revenues were approximately $14.78 million, a decrease of $0.45 million from December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $13.3 million.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.34 million, compared to a net loss of $0.47 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in net loss was due to higher selling, general and administrative costs associated mainly with additional sales and marketing investments at our Vaso Diagnostics subsidiary, the addition of the China operations, and increased corporate expenses. Loss attributable to common stockholders was $1.34 million or $0.01 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $0.59 million or $0.01 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

“We are excited about the revenue growth in both segments but especially with the growth in our equipment segment,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We anticipate that our equipment segment will continue to grow and contribute significantly to our future success,” Dr. Ma continued. “We will continue to seek other opportunities to expand our equipment segment to further diversify our business and to enhance shareholder value.”
