NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Vaso Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in July 1987.  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we", "our", "us", "Company", "registrant", "Vaso" or "management" refer to Vaso Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The Company changed its name from Vasomedical, Inc. to Vaso Corporation in November 2016 at its annual shareholders meeting.  The name was changed because the Company in the several years prior to the name change had substantially diversified its business and the original name, Vasomedical, Inc., no longer portrayed the nature of its overall business.  In addition, the Company retained the name of VasoMedical, Inc. and now uses it exclusively for its proprietary medical device business, as the name originally represented.

Overview

Vaso Corporation principally operates in three distinct business segments in the healthcare and information technology ("IT") industries.  We manage and evaluate our operations, and report our financial results, through these three business segments.

·
IT segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoTechnology, Inc., primarily focuses on healthcare IT and managed network technology services;

·
Professional sales service segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, primarily focuses on the sale of healthcare capital equipment for General Electric Healthcare ("GEHC") into the healthcare provider middle market; and

·
Equipment segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoMedical, Inc., primarily focuses on the design, manufacture, sale and service of proprietary medical devices.

VasoTechnology

VasoTechnology, Inc. was formed in May 2015, at the time the Company acquired all of the assets of NetWolves, LLC and its affiliates, including the membership interests in NetWolves Network Services, LLC (collectively, "NetWolves").  It currently consists of a managed network and security service division and a healthcare IT application VAR (value added reseller) division.  Its current offerings include:

·
Managed diagnostic imaging applications (national channel partner of GEHC IT).
·
Managed network infrastructure (routers, switches and other core equipment).
·
Managed network transport (FCC licensed carrier reselling 175+ facility partners).
·
Managed security services.

VasoTechnology uses a combination of proprietary technology, methodology and third-party applications to deliver its value proposition.

VasoHealthcare

VasoHealthcare commenced operations in 2010, in conjunction with the Company's execution of its exclusive sales representation agreement ("GEHC Agreement") with GEHC, which is the healthcare business division of the General Electric Company, to further the sale of certain healthcare capital equipment in the healthcare provider middle market.  Sales of GEHC equipment by the Company have grown significantly since then.

VasoHealthcare's current offerings consist of:

·
GEHC diagnostic imaging capital equipment.
·
GEHC service agreements for the above equipment.
·
GEHC and third party financial services.

Vaso Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
VasoHealthcare has built a team of over 80 highly experienced sales professionals who utilize proprietary sales management and analytic tools to manage the complete sales process and to increase market penetration.
 
VasoMedical

VasoMedical is the Company's business division for its proprietary medical device operations, including the design, development, manufacturing, sales and service of various medical devices in the domestic and international markets and includes the Vasomedical Global and Vasomedical Solutions business units.  These devices are primarily for cardiovascular monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic systems.  Its current offerings consist of:

·
Biox™ series Holter monitors and ambulatory blood pressure recorders.
·
ARCS® series analysis, reporting and communication software for physiological signals such as ECG and blood pressure.
·
MobiCare™ multi-parameter wireless vital-sign monitoring system.
·
EECP® therapy system for non-invasive, outpatient treatment of ischemic heart disease.

This segment uses its extensive cardiovascular device knowledge coupled with its significant engineering resources to cost-effectively create and market its proprietary technology. It works with a global distribution network of channel partners to sell its products.  It also provides engineering and OEM services to other medical device companies.

NOTE B – INTERIM STATEMENT PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the companies over which we exercise control. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim results for the Company. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and cash flows during the periods presented. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions the Company makes are based on historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company's management. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2018 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,840,000, and working capital, excluding deferred commission expense and deferred revenue which are non-cash items, of $1,354,000.  Historically the Company has financed its operations from cash provided from operating activities and borrowings under its lines of credit. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $2,069,000 and used cash in operations of $520,000.  At March 31, 2018 the Company had outstanding borrowings under its lines of credit of approximately $4.8 million with availability of approximately $1.2 million.  These lines mature on June 29, 2018.  The Company has a long relationship with the bank and is currently in negotiation with the bank.  It is management's intention to renew the lines of credit.  Additionally, the Company has had a history of renewing its lines of credit and, while there is no assurance, there is no indication that the lines of credit will not be renewed.

Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. See Note C for further details.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This new standard would be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.  The Company is still evaluating the impact adoption of this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017.  The standard would only impact the Company in the event of a goodwill impairment.  Accordingly, the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company follows the guidance of accounting for variable interest entities, which requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entities.  Biox Instruments Co., Ltd. ("Biox") is a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE").

Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating this VIE do not represent additional claims on the Company's general assets. The financial information of Biox, which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, is presented as follows:

NOTE C – REVENUE RECOGNITION

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The new standard introduces a five-step process to be followed in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition. It also provides guidance on accounting for costs incurred to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers, and establishes disclosure requirements which are more extensive than those required under prior U.S. GAAP.  Generally, we recognize revenue under Topic 606 for each of our performance obligations either over time (generally, the transfer of a service) or at a point in time (generally, the transfer of a good) as follows:

VasoTechnology

Recurring managed network and voice services provided by NetWolves are recognized as provided on a monthly basis ("over time").  Non-recurring charges related to the provision of such services are recognized in the period provided ("point in time").  In the IT VAR business, software system installations are recognized upon verification of installation and expiration of an acceptance period ("point in time").  Monthly post-implementation customer support provided under such installations as well as software solutions offered under a monthly Software as a Service ("SaaS") fee basis are recognized monthly over the contract term ("over time").

VasoHealthcare

Commission revenue is recognized when the underlying equipment has been delivered by GEHC and accepted at the customer site in accordance with the terms of the specific sales agreement ("point in time").

VasoMedical

In the United States, we recognized revenue from the sale of our medical equipment in the period in which we deliver the product to the customer ("point in time").  Revenue from the sale of our medical equipment to international markets is recognized upon shipment of the product to a common carrier, as are supplies, accessories and spare parts delivered in both domestic and international markets ("point in time").  The Company also recognizes revenue from the maintenance of EECP® systems either on a time and material as-billed basis ("point in time") or through the sale of a service contract, where revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term ("over time").

Impact of Adoption

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the requirements of Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, which provided that the cumulative effect from prior periods upon applying the new guidance was recognized in our consolidated balance sheets as of the date of adoption, including an adjustment to retained earnings, and that prior periods are not retrospectively adjusted.  A summary and discussion of such cumulative effect adjustment and the impact on current period financial statements of adopting Topic 606 is as follows:

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities arise in our IT VAR, VasoHealthcare, and VasoMedical businesses.  In our IT VAR business, payment arrangements with clients typically include an initial payment due upon contract signing and milestone-based payments based upon product delivery and go-live, as well as post go-live monthly payments for subscription and support fees. Customer payments received, or receivables recorded, in advance of go-live and customer acceptance, where applicable, are deferred as contract liabilities. Such amounts aggregated approximately $105,000 and $371,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In our VasoHeathcare business, we bill amounts for certain milestones in advance of customer acceptance of the equipment.  Such amounts aggregated approximately $20,338,000 and $22,126,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are classified in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either current or long-term deferred revenue.  In addition, we record a contract liability for amounts expected to be repaid to GEHC due to customer order reductions.  Such amounts aggregated approximately $2,310,000 and $1,143,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In our VasoMedical business, we bill amounts for post-delivery services and varying duration service contracts in advance of performance.  Such amounts aggregated approximately $957,000 and $941,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are classified in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either current or long-term deferred revenue.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized approximately $2.6 million of revenues that were included in our contract liability balance at the beginning of such period.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

Topic 606 requires that incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset and amortized to expense in a pattern that matches the timing of the revenue recognition of the related contract.  We have determined the only significant incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers within the scope of Topic 606 are certain sales commissions paid to associates.  In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred for contracts where the amortization period for the asset the Company would otherwise have recognized is one year or less.
Page 12

Vaso Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Under prior U.S. GAAP, we recognized sales commissions in our equipment segment as incurred.  Under Topic 606, sales commissions applicable to service contracts exceeding one year have been capitalized and amortized ratably over the term of the contract.  In our IT VAR business, all commissions paid in advance of go-live were, under prior U.S. GAAP, capitalized as deferred commission expense and charged to expense at go-live or customer acceptance, as applicable.  Under Topic 606, IT VAR commissions allocable to multi-year subscription contracts or multi-year post-contract support performance obligations are amortized to expense ratably over the terms of the multi-year periods.  IT VAR commissions allocable to other elements continue to be charged to expense at go-live or customer acceptance, as was previously done.  At the date of adoption of Topic 606, we recorded an asset, and related adjustment to retained earnings, of approximately $139,000 in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for the amount of unamortized sales commissions for prior periods, as calculated under the new guidance.  The impact to our financial statements of adopting Topic 606, as it relates to costs to obtain contracts, was a reduction in commission expense of approximately $56,000, a reduction to deferred commission expense of approximately $1,000, and an increase in long term deferred commission expense (recorded in other assets) of approximately $194,000 (inclusive of the beginning balance adjustment of $139,000).

In our professional sales services segment, under both prior U.S. GAAP and Topic 606, commissions paid to our sales force are deferred until the underlying equipment is accepted by the customer.

At March 31, 2018, our condensed consolidated balance sheet includes approximately $5,290,000 in capitalized sales commissions to be expensed in future periods, of which $3,549,000 is recorded in deferred commission expense and $1,741,000, representing the long term portion, is included in other assets.

Significant Judgments when Applying Topic 606

Contract transaction price is allocated to performance obligations using estimated stand-alone selling price. Judgment is required in estimating stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. We determine stand-alone selling price maximizing observable inputs such as stand-alone sales when they exist or substantive renewal price charged to clients. In instances where stand-alone selling price is not observable, we utilize an estimate of stand-alone selling price based on historical pricing and industry practices.

Certain revenue we record in our professional sales service segment contains an estimate for variable consideration.  Due to the tiered structure of our commission rate, which increases as annual targets are achieved, under Topic 606 we record revenue and deferred revenue at the rate we expect to be achieved by year end.  Under prior U.S. GAAP, we recognized revenue at the rate achieved at the applicable reporting date.  We base our estimate of variable consideration on historical results of previous years' achievement under the GEHC agreement.  Such estimate will be reviewed each quarter and adjusted as applicable.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded approximately $432,000 in accounts and other receivables, net; $376,000 in combined short term and long term deferred revenue; and $56,000 in commission revenue resulting from our estimate of variable consideration.

NOTE D – SEGMENT REPORTING AND CONCENTRATIONS

Vaso Corporation principally operates in three distinct business segments in the healthcare and information technology industries.  We manage and evaluate our operations, and report our financial results, through these three reportable segments.

·
IT segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoTechnology, Inc., primarily focuses on healthcare IT and managed network technology services;

·
Professional sales service segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, primarily focuses on the sale of healthcare capital equipment for GEHC into the healthcare provider middle market; and

·
Equipment segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoMedical, Inc., primarily focuses on the design, manufacture, sale and service of proprietary medical devices.
 
 
The chief operating decision maker is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who, in conjunction with upper management, evaluates segment performance based on operating income and adjusted EBITDA (net income (loss), plus interest expense (income), net; tax expense; depreciation and amortization; and non-cash stock-based compensation).  Administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and information technology are centralized and related expenses allocated to each segment.  Other costs not directly attributable to operating segments, such as audit, legal, director fees, investor relations, and others, as well as certain assets – primarily cash balances – are reported in the Corporate entity below.  There are no intersegment revenues.  Summary financial information for the segments is set forth below:

NOTE E – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic loss per common share is computed as loss applicable to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common stock.

The following table represents common stock equivalents that were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Contract receivables under Topic 606 consist of trade receivables and unbilled receivables.  Trade receivables include amounts due for shipped products and services rendered.  Unbilled receivables represents variable consideration recognized in accordance with Topic 606 but not yet billable.  Amounts recorded – billed and unbilled - under the GEHC Agreement are subject to adjustment in subsequent periods should the underlying sales order amount, upon which the receivable is based, change.

Allowance for doubtful accounts and commission adjustments include estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments, and adjustments arising from subsequent changes in sales order amounts that may reduce the amount the Company will ultimately receive under the GEHC Agreement.  Due from employees is primarily commission advances made to sales personnel.

NOTE L – LINE OF CREDIT

NetWolves maintains a $4.0 million line of credit with a lending institution.  Advances under the line, which expires on June 29, 2018, bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% and are secured by substantially all of the assets of NetWolves Network Services, LLC and guaranteed by Vaso Corporation.  At March 31, 2018, the Company had drawn approximately $4.0 million against the line. The draw is included in notes payable and capital lease obligations – current portion in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company maintains an additional $2.0 million line of credit with a lending institution.  Advances under the line, which expires on June 29, 2018, bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  At March 31, 2018, the Company had drawn approximately $0.8 million against the line.  The line of credit agreement includes certain financial covenants.  At March 31, 2018, the Company was not in compliance with such covenants.

NOTE M – EQUITY

In March 2018, the Company granted 725,000 shares of restricted common stock to officers under the 2016 Stock Plan.  The shares vested in April 2018.

NOTE N – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company made interest payments, aggregating approximately $108,000 in each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, to MedTechnology Investments, LLC ("MedTech") pursuant to its $4,800,000 promissory notes ("Notes"). The Notes bear interest, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of 9%, mature on May 29, 2019, may be prepaid without penalty, and are subordinated to any current or future Senior Debt as defined in the Subordinated Security Agreement. The Subordinated Security Agreement secures payment and performance of the Company's obligations under the Notes and as a result, MedTech was granted a subordinated security interest in the Company's assets.  The MedTech Notes were used in 2015 to partially fund the purchase of NetWolves.  $2,300,000 of the $4,800,000 provided by MedTech was provided by directors of the Company, or by family members.

David Lieberman, the Vice Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, is a practicing attorney in the State of New York and a senior partner at the law firm of Beckman, Lieberman & Barandes, LLP, which performs certain legal services for the Company.  Fees of approximately $85,000 were billed by the firm for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, at which dates no amounts were outstanding.

In March 2018, the Company sold its interest in the VSK joint venture to PSK for a sales price of $676,000 and executed a distributor agreement, expiring December 31, 2020, with VSK for the sale of the Company's EECP® products in certain international markets.  The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $212,000.  Prior to the sale, the Company's pro-rata share in VSK's loss from operations approximated $9,000 and $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

NOTE O – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is currently, and has been in the past, a party to various legal proceedings, primarily employee related matters, incident to its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the business or consolidated financial condition of the Company.

Sales representation agreement

In December 2017, the Company concluded an amendment of the GEHC Agreement with GEHC, originally signed on May 19, 2010. The amendment extends the term of the original agreement, which began on July 1, 2010 and was previously extended in 2012 and 2015, through December 31, 2022, subject to earlier termination with or without cause under certain circumstances after timely notice, making it the longest extension thus far with a remaining term of five years from December 31, 2017.  Under the agreement, VasoHealthcare is the exclusive representative for the sale of select GE Healthcare diagnostic imaging products to specific market segments/accounts in the 48 contiguous states of the United States and the District of Columbia.  The circumstances under which early termination of the agreement may occur include: not materially achieving certain sales goals, not maintaining a minimum number of sales representatives, and not meeting various legal and GEHC policy requirements.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to lease dedicated computer equipment from GEHC for connectivity to their network and share certain GEHC sales costs.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except for historical information contained in this report, the matters discussed are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, words such as "anticipates", "believes", "could", "estimates", "expects", "may", "plans", "potential" and "intends" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's management. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: the effect of business and economic conditions; the effect of the dramatic changes taking place in the healthcare environment; the impact of competitive procedures and products and their pricing; medical insurance reimbursement policies; unexpected manufacturing or supplier problems; unforeseen difficulties and delays in the conduct of clinical trials and other product development programs; the actions of regulatory authorities and third-party payers in the United States and overseas; continuation of the GEHC agreements and the risk factors reported from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including its recent report on Form 10-K.  The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we", "our", "us", "Company", "registrant", "Vaso" or "management" refer to Vaso Corporation and its subsidiaries

General Overview

Vaso Corporation ("Vaso") was incorporated in Delaware in July 1987.  We principally operate in three distinct business segments in the healthcare and information technology industries.  We manage and evaluate our operations, and report our financial results, through these three business segments.

·
IT segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoTechnology, Inc., primarily focuses on healthcare IT and managed network technology services;

·
Professional sales service segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, primarily focuses on the sale of healthcare capital equipment for GEHC into the healthcare provider middle market; and

·
Equipment segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoMedical, Inc., primarily focuses on the design, manufacture, sale and service of proprietary medical devices.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events, our actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates made are based on historical factors, current circumstances, and the experience and judgment of our management, who continually evaluate the judgments, estimates and assumptions and may employ outside experts to assist in the evaluations.

Certain of our accounting policies are deemed "critical", as they are both most important to the financial statement presentation and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Note C to the condensed consolidated financial statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.

Results of Operations – For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Revenues

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $17,537,000 and $16,374,000, respectively, representing an increase of $1,163,000, or 7% year-over-year.  On a segment basis, revenue in the IT and equipment segments increased $1,613,000 and $210,000, respectively, while revenue in the professional sales services segment decreased $660,000.

Revenue in the IT segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $11,413,000 compared to $9,800,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $1,613,000, or 16%, of which $617,000 resulted from growth in the operations of NetWolves, and $996,000 from the growth in the healthcare IT VAR business, due to more healthcare IT solutions installations in the first quarter of 2018.  Our monthly recurring revenue in the managed network services operations continues to grow month over month as we add new customers and expand our services to existing customers; at the same time, the backlog of orders in our healthcare IT operations increased to $10.4 million at March 31, 2018 from $8.3 million at March 31, 2017, due to growth in orders and clients.  We anticipate that as our healthcare IT operations become more developed and the service delivery process accelerated, the backlog should convert to revenue in a more timely fashion and, coupled with continued growth in order volume, financial results should improve in this segment.

Commission revenues in the professional sales services segment were $5,211,000 in the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of 11%, as compared to $5,871,000 in the same quarter of 2017.  The decrease in commission revenues was due primarily to a decrease in the volume of equipment delivered by GEHC during the period.  The Company only recognizes commission revenue when the underlying equipment has been accepted at the customer site in accordance with the specific terms of the sales agreement.  Consequently, amounts billable under the agreement with GE Healthcare prior to customer acceptance of the equipment are recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  As of March 31, 2018, $20,338,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $5,185,000 was long-term.  At March 31, 2017, $18,891,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $9,813,000 was long-term. The increase in deferred revenue is principally due to an increase in orders booked and the decrease in deliveries by GEHC.  We anticipate that revenue will increase in the remaining quarters of 2018 as deliveries increase.
 
Revenue in the equipment segment increased by $210,000, or 30%, to $913,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 from $703,000 for the same period of the prior year.  The increase was principally due to higher sales of Biox ambulatory monitors and ARCS software.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $9,621,000, or 55% of revenue, and $9,070,000, or 55% of revenue, respectively, representing an increase of $551,000, or 6% year-over-year.  On a segment basis, gross profit in the IT and equipment segments increased $892,000, or 22%, and $115,000, or 26%, respectively, while gross profit in the professional sales services segment decreased $456,000, or 10%.

IT segment gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $4,914,000, or 43% of the segment revenue, compared to $4,022,000, or 41% of the segment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  The year-over-year increase of $892,000, or 22%, was primarily a result of higher sales.

Professional sales services segment gross profit was $4,153,000, or 80% of segment revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $4,609,000, or 79% of the segment revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, reflecting a decrease of $456,000.  The decrease in absolute dollars was primarily due to lower commission revenue as a result of lower volume of GEHC equipment delivered during the first quarter of 2018 than in the same period last year.  Cost of commissions in the professional sales service segment of $1,058,000 and $1,262,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, reflected commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues.

 
 
 
Page 23

Vaso Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
 
Commission expense associated with short-term deferred revenue is recorded as short-term deferred commission expense, or with long-term deferred revenue as part of other assets, on the balance sheet until the related commission revenue is recognized.

Equipment segment gross profit increased to $554,000, or 61% of segment revenues, for the first quarter of 2018 compared to $439,000, or 62% of segment revenues, for the same quarter of 2017.  The $115,000, or 26%, increase in gross profit was due to higher sales volume, slightly offset by a gross profit margin decrease due mainly to a higher proportion of lower margin products in the sales mix in 2018, compared to the first quarter 2017.
 
Operating Loss

Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $2,114,000 and $1,841,000, respectively, representing an increase of $273,000, due to higher operating costs (defined below) partially offset by the increase in gross profit.  On a segment basis, operating loss in the IT and equipment segments decreased $483,000 and 177,000, respectively, while operating loss in the professional sales service segment increased $969,000.  In addition, corporate expenses decreased $36,000.

Operating loss in the IT segment decreased $483,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period of 2017 due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") costs.  Operating loss in the professional sales service segment increased $969,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 as compared to operating loss in the same period of 2017 due to lower gross profit combined with higher SG&A costs.  The decrease in equipment segment operating loss of $177,000 in the first quarter of 2018 was due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A costs.
 
SG&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $11,548,000 and $10,690,000, respectively, representing an increase of $858,000, or 8% year-over-year.  On a segment basis, SG&A costs in the IT segment increased by $461,000 in the first quarter of 2018 from the same quarter of the prior year due to increased personnel costs.  SG&A costs in the professional sales service segment increased $514,000 due mainly to increased headcount and other personnel-related costs, and SG&A costs in the equipment segment decreased $79,000 due mainly to decreased headcount in our China operations. Corporate costs not allocated to segments decreased by $36,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 from the same period in 2017, due primarily to lower director and legal fees.
 
Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $187,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of $34,000, or 15%, from $221,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower software development expenses in the IT segment.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA (earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss), plus interest expense (income), net; tax expense; depreciation and amortization; and non-cash expenses for share-based compensation.  Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is used by the investment community for comparative and valuation purposes.  We disclose this metric in order to support and facilitate the dialogue with research analysts and investors.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below:

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $96,000, to $1,152,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from $1,056,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the lower net loss and the lower share-based compensation and income tax expense.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

Interest and other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $65,000 as compared to $(181,000) for the corresponding period of 2017. The increase in other income was due primarily to a $212,000 gain on sale of investment in the VSK joint venture.

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $20,000 as compared to $109,000 for the corresponding period of 2017.  The decrease arose mainly from lower deferred taxes resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2,069,000 as compared to a net loss of $2,131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $62,000.  Our net loss per share was $0.01 in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.  The principal cause of the decrease in net loss is the increase in other income, partially offset by the increase in operating loss.  The Company historically reports a loss in the first quarter of the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Flow

We have financed our operations from working capital and drawdown on our line of credit.  At March 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5,840,000 and negative working capital of $10,704,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $5,245,000 and negative working capital of $8,217,000 at December 31, 2017.  $12,058,000 in negative working capital at March 31, 2018 is attributable to the net balance of deferred commission expense and deferred revenue.  These are non-cash expense and revenue items and have no impact on future cash flows.

Cash used in operating activities was $520,000, which consisted of net loss after adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash of $1,465,000 and cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $945,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $744,000 for the same period in 2017. The changes in the account balances primarily reflect a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $4,040,000, and decreases in deferred revenue and accounts payable of $1,772,000 and 1,828,000, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 was $279,000 for the purchase of equipment and software.
 
 
 
Page 25

Vaso Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
 
Cash provided by financing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 was $1,391,000 primarily as a result of $1,437,000 in net borrowings on revolving lines of credit partially offset by $46,000 in payments of notes and capital leases issued for equipment purchases.

Liquidity

The Company expects to maintain sufficient liquidity through its cash on hand, availability of funds under its lines of credit, and internally generated funds to meet its obligations as they come due.  The Company's profitability for the year will be largely dependent on deliveries of product by GEHC in our professional sales service segment since the Company does not recognize revenue in this segment until the equipment is delivered.
