NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Vasomedical, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in July 1987.  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to ŇweÓ, ŇourÓ, ŇusÓ, ŇCompanyÓ, ŇregistrantÓ, ŇVasomedicalÓ or ŇmanagementÓ refer to Vasomedical, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  Until 2010, we were primarily engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP¨) systems, based on our proprietary technology, to physicians and hospitals throughout the United States and in select international markets. Beginning in July 2010 the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. (Vaso Diagnostics), began its sales representation business via its agreement (the ŇGEHC AgreementÓ) with GE Healthcare (ŇGEHCÓ), the healthcare business unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), to be GEHCŐs exclusive sales representative for the sale of select GEHC diagnostic imaging products in specific market segments in the 48 contiguous states of the United States and the District of Columbia.   In June 2012, the GEHC Agreement was amended and extended through June 30, 2015 and again, in December 2014, the GEHC Agreement was further amended and extended through December 31, 2018, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances and termination without cause on or after July 1, 2017.

 

In September 2011, the Company acquired Fast Growth Enterprises Limited (FGE), a British Virgin Islands company, which owns or controls two Chinese operating companies - Life Enhancement Technology Ltd. and Biox Instruments Co. Ltd. (Biox), respectively - to expand its technical and manufacturing capabilities and to enhance its distribution network, technology, and product portfolio.  Also in September 2011, the Company restructured to further align its business management structure and long-term growth strategy, and started to operate through three wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Vaso Diagnostics continues as the operating subsidiary for the sales representation of GE diagnostic imaging products; Vasomedical Global Corp. operates the CompanyŐs Chinese companies; and Vasomedical Solutions, Inc. was formed to manage and coordinate our EECP¨ therapy business as well as other medical equipment operations.

 

In April 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Chongqing PSK-Health Sci-Tech Development Co., Ltd. (PSK) of Chongqing, China, the leading manufacturer of ECP therapy systems in China, to form a joint venture company, VSK Medical Limited (VSK), for the global marketing, sale and advancement of ECP therapy technology.  The Company owns 49.9% of the joint venture, which began operations in January 2015.

 

In June 2014, the Company entered into a Value Added Reseller Agreement (VAR Agreement) with GEHC to become a national value added reseller of GE Healthcare IT's Radiology PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) software solutions and related services, including implementation, management and support.  This multiyear VAR Agreement focuses primarily on existing customer segments currently served by Vaso Diagnostics on behalf of GEHC.  A new wholly owned subsidiary, VasoHealthcare IT Corp., was formed to conduct the healthcare IT business.

 

In August 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Wuxi Gentone Instruments Co. Ltd. (Gentone), acquired all of the outstanding shares of Genwell Instruments Co. Ltd. (Genwell), located in Wuxi, China.  Genwell was formed in China in 2010 with the assistance of a government grant to develop the MobiCareTM wireless multi-parameter patient monitoring system and holds the patents and intellectual property rights for this system.

 

In May 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for, and completed its purchase of, all of the assets of NetWolves, LLC and its affiliates, including the membership interests in NetWolves Network Services LLC  (collectively, ŇNetWolvesÓ). The purchase of NetWolves was accomplished pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement.  As a result, the Company effectively purchased all rights, titles and ownership of all assets held by NetWolves.  NetWolves designs and delivers efficient and cost-effective multi-network and multi-technology solutions as a managed network provider, and provides a complete single-source solution that includes design, network redundancy, application device management, real-time network monitoring, reporting and support systems as a comprehensive solution.  The Company believes there are significant operational synergies between NetWolvesŐ capabilities and VasoHealthcare ITŐs requirements under its VAR Agreement with GEHC, as well as the opportunity to expand NetWolvesŐ existing services to the healthcare IT market.

 

 

We report the operations of Vasomedical Global Corp. and Vasomedical Solutions, Inc. under our Equipment segment.  Vaso Diagnostics activities are included under our Sales Representation segment.  VasoHealthcare IT and NetWolves operations report under the IT segment. 

 

NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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:

 

1)     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, 2014, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2015.

 

2)     The audited consolidated financial statements of NetWolves, LLC and related notes thereto included in the Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on August 12, 2015.  The operating results of NetWolves from May 29, 2015 to September 30, 2015 are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015. 

 

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.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, included on Form 8-K/A, include a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.  

 

Revenue Recognition

 

            The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue and Expense Recognition for the Sales Representation Segment

 

The Company recognizes commission revenue in its Sales Representation segment (see Note C) when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  These conditions are deemed to be met 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 in advance of the customer acceptance of the equipment are recorded as accounts receivable and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Similarly, commissions payable to our sales force related to such billings are recorded as deferred commission expense when the associated deferred revenue is recorded.  Commission expense is recognized when the corresponding commission revenue is recognized.

 

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 is a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). 

 

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

 

                                                                                                   (in thousands)

 

 

 

                                                                                                                   (in thousands)

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation.

 

NOTE C – SEGMENT REPORTING AND CONCENTRATIONS

 

The Company views its business in three segments – the Sales Representation segment, the Equipment segment, and the IT segment.  The Sales Representation segment operates through the Vaso Diagnostics subsidiary and is currently engaged solely in the fulfillment of the CompanyŐs responsibilities under our agreement with GEHC.  The IT segment includes the operations of NetWolves and VasoHealthcare IT Corp.  Operations in the IT segment began in the third quarter of 2014.  The Equipment segment is engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting EECP¨ enhanced external counterpulsation systems both domestically and internationally, as well as the development, production, marketing and supporting of other medical devices.    

 

The chief operating decision maker is the CompanyŐs Chief Executive Officer, who, in conjunction with upper management, evaluates segment performance based on operating income.  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:

 

                                                                                              (in thousands)

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, GE Healthcare accounted for 44% and 84% of revenue, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, GE Healthcare accounted for 59% and 86% of revenue, respectively, and $5.5 million or 63%, and $14.2 million or 93%, of accounts and other receivables at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

NOTE D – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

 Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed as earnings applicable to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (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. 

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares.  A reconciliation of basic to diluted shares used in the earnings per share calculation is as follows:

(in thousands)

 

The following table represents common stock equivalents that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

                                                        (in thousands)

 


 

 

NOTE E – ACCOUNTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES, NET

 

The following table presents information regarding the CompanyŐs accounts and other receivables as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

  (in thousands)

 

Trade receivables include amounts due for shipped products and services rendered.  Amounts currently due 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 F – INVENTORIES, NET

 

            Inventories, net of reserves, consist of the following:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   (in thousands)

Goodwill aggregating $22,582,000 and $3,288,000 was recorded on the CompanyŐs condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, of which $19,406,000, allocated to the IT segment, resulted from the acquisition of NetWolves in May 2015.  The remaining $3,176,000 of goodwill is allocated to the CompanyŐs Equipment segment.  The components of the change in goodwill are as follows:

     (in thousands)

NOTE K – DEBT

 

On May 29, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with MedTechnology Investments, LLC (ŇMedTechÓ) pursuant to which it issued MedTech a secured subordinated promissory note (ŇNoteÓ) for $3,800,000 for the purchase of NetWolves. MedTech was formed to acquire the Note, and $1,950,000 of the aggregate funds used to acquire the Note was provided by six of our directors.  In June 2015, a second Note for $750,000 was issued to MedTech for working capital purposes, $250,000 of which was provided by a director and a directorŐs relative.  In July 2015, an additional $250,000 was borrowed under the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The Notes bear interest 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 CompanyŐs obligations under the Notes and as a result, MedTech was granted a subordinated security interest in the CompanyŐs assets.

 

In July 2015, NetWolvesŐ lending institution extended its $2.0 million line of credit and increased the maximum borrowings to $3.0 million.  Advances under the line, which expires on August 26, 2016, 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 Vasomedical, Inc.  At September 30, 2015, the Company had drawn approximately $1.2 million against the line.

 

NOTE L – BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On May 29, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for, and completed its purchase of, all of the assets of NetWolves, LLC and its affiliates, including the membership interests in NetWolves Network Services LLC  (collectively, ŇNetWolvesÓ) for $18,000,000 (the ŇPurchase PriceÓ). The purchase of NetWolves was accomplished pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement").  As a result, the Company effectively purchased all rights, titles and ownership of all assets held by NetWolves.   The Purchase Price was paid using $14,200,000 in cash on hand and $3,800,000 raised through the issuance of the Note to MedTech (See Note K).  The Company believes there are significant operational synergies between NetWolvesŐ capabilities and VasoHealthcare ITŐs requirements under its VAR contract with GEHC, as well as the opportunity to expand NetWolvesŐ existing services to the healthcare IT market.

 

The operating results of NetWolves from May 29, 2015 to September 30, 2015 are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.  The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015 reflects the acquisition of NetWolves effective May 29, 2015.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, the total purchase consideration is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at May 29, 2015 (the acquisition date).  The purchase price was initially allocated based on the information then available, and certain amounts were adjusted after revisions of certain preliminary estimates.  The Company expects additional measurement period adjustments will be recorded after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed, and revisions of preliminary estimates.  The following table summarizes the current allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values and current measurement period adjustments as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(in thousands)

 

            During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company expensed $100,000 of acquisition-related legal costs and incurred $60,000 in debt issue costs.  The legal costs are included in the line item Selling, General & Administrative costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).  The debt issue costs are recorded as a reduction to long term notes payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015.  The amounts of revenue and net income of NetWolves included in the CompanyŐs condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was $8,707,000 and $227,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, and $11,470,000 and $377,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

            The following unaudited supplemental pro forma information presents the financial results as if the acquisitions of Genwell and NetWolves had occurred January 1, 2013, and January 1, 2014, respectively.

NOTE M – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

One of the CompanyŐs directors, Peter Castle, was the Chief Executive Officer and President of NetWolves, LLC.  Another of the CompanyŐs directors, David Lieberman, was a director of NetWolves Network Services, LLC. Mr. Castle and Mr. Lieberman owned of record approximately 10.4% and 5.7%, respectively of the membership interests of NetWolves LLC.  Mr. Lieberman may also be deemed to have owned beneficially up to an additional 13.5% of such membership interests.  The CompanyŐs board of directors negotiated the Purchase Price on an armŐs length basis, and both Mr. Castle and Mr. Lieberman abstained from the vote approving the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Company obtained an opinion regarding the fairness of the Purchase Price for the NetWolves entities from a reputable, independent third-party investment banking firm.  $14,200,000 of the Purchase Price was paid for by cash on hand, and the remaining $3,800,000 was raised from the sale of a Subordinated Secured Note sold to MedTech.  Of the $4,800,000 borrowed from MedTech at September 30, 2015, $2,200,000 was provided by six of our directors or members of their families.

 

David Lieberman, the Vice Chairman of the CompanyŐs 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 and $213,000 were billed by the firm for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, respectively, at which date no amounts were outstanding.  Fees of approximately $60,000 and $180,000 were billed by the firm for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively, at which date no amounts were outstanding. 

 

In January 2015, operations began under the VSK joint venture.  The Company accounts for its investment in VSK using the equity method.  At September 30, 2015, the Company had contributed $100,000 to VSK, and $86,000 was due from VSK for equipment and services the Company billed to it. VSK earned approximately $97,000 and $143,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.  Under the terms of the agreement, the CompanyŐs accrues no interest in VSKŐs income in the years ending December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 unless certain performance targets are achieved.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 such targets had not been achieved.

 

NOTE N – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Sales representation agreement

           

In June 2012, the Company concluded an amendment of the GEHC Agreement with GEHC, originally signed on May 19, 2010.  The amendment, effective July 1, 2012, extended the initial term of three years commencing July 1, 2010 to five years through June 30, 2015.  In December 2014, the Company concluded an additional amendment, effective January 1, 2015, extending the term through December 31, 2018, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances and termination without cause on or after July 1, 2017.  These circumstances include not materially achieving certain sales goals, not maintaining a minimum number of sales representatives, and 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.

 

NOTE O - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 ŇRevenue from Contracts with CustomersÓ, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede previous existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard creates a five-step model for revenue recognition that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering contract terms and relevant facts and circumstances. The five-step model includes (1) identifying the contract, (2) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation has been satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding revenue recognition. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption.  In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, ŇRevenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective DateÓ (Topic 606).  The amendments in this ASU defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09, ŇRevenue from Contracts with Customers,Ó for all entities by one year.  Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.  Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 ŇSimplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance CostsÓ, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. An entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense.  The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 31, 2015 and allows for early adoption.  The Company has early adopted this statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, resulting in $60,000 in debt issue costs initially deducted from the MedTech debt and $5,000 amortized to interest expense.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 ŇSimplifying the Accounting for Measurement-period AdjustmentsÓ, which require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.  The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and allows for early adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

General Overview

 

Vasomedical, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in July 1987.  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to ŇweÓ, ŇourÓ, ŇusÓ, ŇCompanyÓ, ŇregistrantÓ, ŇVasomedicalÓ or ŇmanagementÓ refer to Vasomedical, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  Until 2010, we were primarily engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP¨) systems, based on our proprietary technology, to physicians and hospitals throughout the United States and in select international markets. Beginning in July 2010 the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, began its sales representation business via its agreement (GEHC Agreement) with GE Healthcare (GEHC), the healthcare business unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), to be GEHCŐs exclusive sales representative for the sale of select GEHC diagnostic imaging products in specific market segments in the 48 contiguous states of the United States and the District of Columbia.   In June 2012, the GEHC Agreement was amended and extended through June 30, 2015 and again, in December 2014, the GEHC Agreement was further amended and extended through December 31, 2018, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances and termination without cause on or after July 1, 2017.

 

In September 2011, the Company acquired Fast Growth Enterprises Limited (FGE), a British Virgin Islands company, which owns or controls two Chinese operating companies - Life Enhancement Technology Ltd. and Biox Instruments Co. Ltd., respectively - to expand its technical and manufacturing capabilities and to enhance its distribution network, technology, and product portfolio.  Also in September 2011, the Company restructured to further align its business management structure and long-term growth strategy, and started to operate through three wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Vaso Diagnostics d/b/a VasoHealthcare continues as the operating subsidiary for the sales representation of GE diagnostic imaging products; Vasomedical Global Corp. operates the CompanyŐs Chinese companies; and Vasomedical Solutions, Inc. was formed to manage and coordinate our EECP¨ therapy business as well as other medical equipment operations.

 

In April 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Chongqing PSK-Health Sci-Tech Development Co., Ltd. (PSK) of Chongqing, China, the leading manufacturer of ECP therapy systems in China, to form a joint venture company, VSK Medical Limited (VSK), for the global marketing, sale and advancement of ECP therapy technology.  The Company owns 49.9% of the shares of VSK.  VSK began operations in January 2015.  The Company contributed $100,000 in cash to VSK during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

In June 2014, the Company entered into a Value Added Reseller Agreement (VAR Agreement) with GEHC to become a national value added reseller of GE Healthcare IT's Radiology PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) software solutions and related services, including implementation, management and support.  This multiyear VAR Agreement focuses primarily on existing customer segments currently served by Vaso Diagnostics on behalf of GEHC.  A new wholly owned subsidiary, VasoHealthcare IT Corp., was formed to conduct the healthcare IT business.

 

In August 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Wuxi Gentone Instruments Co. Ltd. (Gentone), acquired all of the outstanding shares of Genwell Instruments Co. Ltd. (Genwell), located in Wuxi, China.  Genwell was formed in China in 2010 with the assistance of a government grant to develop the MobiCareTM wireless multi-parameter patient monitoring system and holds the patents and intellectual property rights for this system.

 

In May 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for, and completed its purchase of, all of the assets of NetWolves, LLC and its affiliates, including the membership interests in NetWolves Network Services LLC  (collectively, ŇNetWolvesÓ). The purchase of NetWolves was accomplished pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement.  As a result, the Company effectively purchased all rights, titles and ownership of all assets held by NetWolves.  NetWolves designs and delivers efficient and cost-effective multi-network and multi-technology solutions as a managed network provider, and provides a complete single-source solution that includes design, network redundancy, application device management, real-time network monitoring, reporting and support systems as a comprehensive solution.  The Company believes there are significant operational synergies between NetWolvesŐ capabilities and VasoHealthcare ITŐs requirements under its VAR Agreement with GEHC, as well as the opportunity to expand NetWolvesŐ existing services to the healthcare IT market.  The operating results of NetWolves from May 29, 2015 to September 30, 2015 are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.   

 

We report the operations of Vasomedical Global Corp. and Vasomedical Solutions, Inc. under our Equipment segment.  Vaso Diagnostics activities are included under our Sales Representation segment.  VasoHealthcare IT and NetWolves operations report under the IT segment. 

 

The Company continues to pursue acquisitions or partnership opportunities in the international and domestic markets and to seek expansion of its sales representation business.

 

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 (ŇU.S. GAAPÓ). 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 ŇcriticalÓ, as they are both most important to the financial statement presentation and require managementŐs 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 ŇManagementŐs Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsÓ in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2015. 

 

Results of Operations – For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $17,401,000 and $7,643,000, respectively, representing an increase of $9,758,000, or 128% year-over-year.  The revenue increase was primarily due to $8,800,000 in revenue in the IT segment, of which $8,707,000 resulted from the operations of NetWolves.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1,230,000, compared to a net loss of $123,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing an improvement of $1,353,000.  Our total net income (loss) was $0.01 and $(0.00) per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

 

 

 

Revenues

 

Commission revenues in the Sales Representation segment were $7,584,000 in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 18%, as compared to $6,409,000 in the third quarter of 2014.  The increase in commission revenues in the third quarter of 2015 was due primarily to higher commission rates on equipment delivered by GEHC during the quarter, as well as a 9% increase in such deliveries.  The Company 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 September 30, 2015, $18,595,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the CompanyŐs condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $8,068,000 was long-term.  At September 30, 2014, $16,760,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the CompanyŐs condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $8,359,000 was long-term.

 

Revenue in the IT segment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $8,800,000 compared to $0 revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014, virtually all the increase resulting from the acquisition of NetWolves.

 

Revenue in our Equipment segment decreased by $217,000, or 18%, to $1,017,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year.  The decrease was principally due to a decrease in EECP¨ revenues and international sales by our China operations as a result of lower sales volume, offset by a small increase in field service and service contract revenue.

 

Gross Profit

 

The Company had a gross profit of $9,850,000, or 57% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $5,375,000, or 70% of revenue, in the third quarter of the prior year, an increase of $4,475,000, or 83%.  The increase is principally due to $3,492,000 in gross profit in the IT segment, of which $3,483,000 resulted from the acquisition of NetWolves, and higher revenues and gross profit margin in the Sales Representation segment. 

 

Sales Representation segment gross profit was $5,883,000, or 78% of the segment revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $4,581,000, or 71% of the segment revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in absolute dollars and margin percentage was due to higher delivery volume and commission rates during the third quarter of 2015 than in the same period last year, as well as lower commission expense in the third quarter of 2015.  Cost of commissions of $1,701,000 and $1,828,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, reflected commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues.  The decrease was due to lower commission expenses in the third quarter 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  Commission expense associated with deferred revenue is recorded as deferred commission expense until the related commission revenue is recognized. 

 

IT segment gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $3,492,000 compared to $0 gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014, virtually all the increase resulting from the acquisition of NetWolves.

 

Equipment segment gross profit decreased to $475,000, or 47% of Equipment segment revenues, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $794,000, or 64% of Equipment segment revenues, for the same quarter of 2014.  Gross profit margin in the Equipment segment decreased due mainly to lower average selling prices and higher inventory obsolescence costs. 

 

Operating Income (Loss)

 

Operating income was $1,337,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to an operating loss of $149,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an improvement of $1,486,000. During the third quarter of 2015, there was a $4,475,000 increase in gross profit and a $3,011,000 increase in selling, general, and administrative costs.  Operating income in the Sales Representation segment increased by $1,863,000 to $2,586,000, compared to $723,000 in the third quarter of the prior year, due mainly to a higher gross margin combined with lower SG&A costs.  In addition, operating loss in the Equipment segment increased by $177,000, or 44%, to $582,000 compared to $405,000 in the same quarter of the prior year, due primarily to $319,000 lower gross profit, partially offset by $120,000 lower SG&A costs in the current year quarter.  Our IT segment had an operating loss of $187,000 in the third quarter of 2015.  This loss was reduced by a $237,000 operating profit from NetWolves operations.  We anticipate that the operating profit in this segment will improve with the NetWolves operations and increases in revenue in our GEHC VAR business.

 

SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 were $8,355,000, or 48% of revenues, and $5,344,000, or 70% of revenues, respectively, reflecting an increase of $3,011,000 or approximately 56%. The increase in SG&A expenditures in the third quarter of 2015 resulted primarily from $3,679,000 in costs attributable to the IT segment in 2015 mainly due to the inclusion of NetWolves operations during the quarter, and higher corporate expenses, primarily accounting fees, partially offset by lower costs in the Sales Representation and Equipment segments.

 

Research and development (ŇR&DÓ) expenses were $158,000, or 1% of revenues (16% of Equipment segment revenues), for the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of $22,000, or 12%, from $180,000, or 2% of revenues (15% of Equipment segment revenues), for the third quarter of 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower clinical grants in the third quarter of 2015.

 

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

 

Interest and other income (expense) for the third quarter of 2015 was $(69,000) as compared to $52,000 for the third quarter of 2014. The change from income to expense was due primarily to higher interest expense from debt associated with the Genwell and NetWolves acquisitions.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

During the third quarter of 2015 we recorded income tax expense of $38,000 as compared to income tax expense of $26,000 for the third quarter of 2014.  The increase arose from higher Federal income tax expense partially offset by lower tax expense at our Chinese subsidiaries.  

 

Results of Operations – For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $35,698,000 and $22,599,000, respectively, representing an increase of $13,099,000, or 58% year-over-year.  The revenue increase was primarily due to $11,611,000 in revenue in the IT segment, of which $11,470,000 resulted from the operations of NetWolves.  Net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1,166,000 and $(1,343,000), respectively, representing an improvement of $2,509,000.  Our total net income (loss) was $0.01 and $(0.01) per basic and diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Revenues

 

Commission revenues in the Sales Representation segment were $21,010,000 in the first nine months of 2015, an increase of 9% from $19,335,000 in the first nine months of 2014.  The increase in commission revenue in the first nine months of 2015 is due to increases in both commission rate earned and volume of equipment delivered by GEHC during the period.  The Company 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. 

 

Revenue in the IT segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $11,161,000 compared to $0 revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, virtually all the increase resulting from the inclusion of four months of NetWolves results.

 

Revenue in our Equipment segment decreased by $187,000, or 6%, to $3,077,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 from $3,264,000 for the same period of the prior year.  The decrease was due to decreases in EECP¨ revenues as a result of lower average selling prices, partially offset both by higher EECP¨ sales volume, and by increases in international sales by our China operations, and a decrease in service and accessory part revenue.

 

Gross Profit

 

The Company had a gross profit of $22,746,000, or 64% of revenue, in the first three quarters of 2015 compared to $16,023,000, or 71% of revenue, in the first three quarters of the prior year, an increase of $6,723,000, or 42%.  The increase is principally due to $4,690,000 in gross profit in the IT segment, of which $4,669,000 resulted from the inclusion of NetWolves operations for the four months after the acquisition, and higher gross profit margin in our Sales Representation segment. 

 

Sales Representation segment gross profit was $16,262,000, or 77% of the segment revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $14,053,000, or 73% of the segment revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in absolute dollars and margin percentage was due to higher commission rates, and higher equipment deliveries by GEHC during the first nine months of 2015 than in the same period last year, coupled with lower commission expense in the first nine months of 2015.  Cost of commissions of $4,748,000 and $5,282,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, reflected commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues.  The decrease was due to lower commission expenses in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Commission expense associated with deferred revenue is recorded as deferred commission expense until the related commission revenue is recognized. 

 

IT segment gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $4,690,000 compared to $0 gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, virtually all the increase resulting from the inclusion of four months of NetWolves results.

 

Equipment segment gross profit decreased to $1,794,000, or 58% of Equipment segment revenues, for the first three quarters of 2015 compared to $1,970,000, or 60% of Equipment segment revenues, for the same period of 2014.  Gross profit margin in the Equipment segment decreased due mainly to lower average selling prices and higher inventory obsolescence costs. 

 

Operating Income (Loss)

 

Operating income was $1,257,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a loss of $1,443,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an improvement of $2,700,000.  Partially offsetting the operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was an operating loss of $908,000 in our IT segment, as compared to a $82,000 operating loss for this segment in the same period of 2014. The IT segment began operations in the third quarter of 2014.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there was a $6,723,000 increase in gross profit partially offset by a $4,192,000 increase in selling, general, and administrative costs.  Operating income in the Sales Representation segment increased by $3,199,000 to $5,466,000 as compared to $2,267,000 in the first nine months of the prior year, due mainly to higher gross margin combined with lower SG&A costs.  In addition, operating loss in the Equipment segment decreased by $468,000, or 20%, to $1,893,000 compared to $2,361,000 in the same period of the prior year, due primarily to $476,000 lower SG&A costs and $169,000 lower R&D costs in the current year period. 

 

SG&A expenses for the first three quarters of 2015 and 2014 were $21,059,000, or 59% of revenues, and $16,867,000, or 75% of revenues, respectively, reflecting an increase of $4,192,000 or approximately 25%. The increase in SG&A expenditures in the first three quarters of 2015 resulted primarily from $5,597,000 in costs attributable to the IT segment in 2015, primarily resulting from the NetWolves operations, and higher corporate expenses, primarily legal and accounting fees, partially offset by lower costs in the Sales Representation and Equipment segments.

 

Research and development (ŇR&DÓ) expenses were $430,000, or 1% of revenues (14% of Equipment segment revenues), for the first nine months of 2015, a decrease of $169,000, or 28%, from $599,000, or 3% of revenues (18% of Equipment segment revenues), for the first nine months of 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to non-recurring costs in the first nine months of 2014, not incurred in 2015, associated with the reclassification by FDA of our EECP¨ therapy system, as well as lower clinical grants in the first nine months of 2015.

 

 

 

 

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

 

Interest and other income (expense) for the first three quarters of 2015 was $(40,000) as compared to $150,000 for the first three quarters of 2014. The change from income to expense was due primarily to higher interest expense from debt associated with the Genwell and NetWolves acquisitions.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

            During the first three quarters of 2015 we recorded income tax expense of $51,000 as compared to income tax expense of $50,000 for the same period of 2014.  The increase arose from higher Federal tax expense, largely offset by lower tax expense at our Chinese subsidiaries.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and Cash Flow

 

We have financed our operations from working capital and the proceeds from notes issued to MedTech.  At September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,928,000, short-term investments of $109,000 and negative working capital of $8,235,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $9,128,000, short-term investments of $111,000 and working capital of $9,215,000 at December 31, 2014.  $8,591,000 in negative working capital at September 30, 2015 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 provided by operating activities was $5,879,000 during the first nine months of 2015, compared to $2,586,000 for the same period in 2014, which consisted of net income after adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash of $2,356,000 and cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $3,520,000. The changes in the account balances primarily reflect a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $7,860,000, partially offset by decreases in deferred revenue of $2,782,000, accrued expenses of $2,129,000, and accrued commissions of $548,000.  Significantly higher commission billings and recognized revenue were generated in the fourth quarter of 2014, resulting in significant cash inflows early in 2015. 

 

Cash used in investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 was $17,984,000, of which $17,267,000, net of cash acquired, was used for the acquisition of NetWolves, $100,000 was invested in the VSK joint venture, and $619,000 was used for the purchase of equipment and software.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 was $4,800,000 through the issuance of notes to MedTech and $136,000 in borrowings on our line of credit, partially offset by $83,000 in repayments of notes issued for equipment purchases.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company expects to be profitable for the year ending December 31, 2015 and to continue to generate positive cash flow through its existing sales representation operations, from the operation of NetWolves, and improved operating efficiency and growth in its China operations and by expanding its market presence and product portfolio.  The Company has reorganized its EECP¨ business model, both domestically and internationally, including the start of operations of the joint venture VSK Medical, intended to reduce costs and achieve profitability in this business.  The Company will continue to pursue acquisitions and partnership opportunities in the international and domestic markets and will look to expand its sales representation business.
