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 “we”, “our”, “us”, “Company”, “registrant”, “Vasomedical” or “management” 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 unique proprietary technology currently indicated in the United States for use in cases of stable or unstable angina (i.e., chest pain), congestive heart failure (“CHF”), acute myocardial infarction (i.e., heart attack, “MI”) and cardiogenic shock.  In May 2010, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, expanded into the sales representation business via its agreement with GE Healthcare (“GEHC”), the healthcare business unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), to be GEHC’s 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 Company entered into an amendment, effective July 1, 2012, of the sales representative agreement (“GEHC Agreement”) extending the initial term of three years commencing July 1, 2010 to five years through June 30, 2015, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances.

In September 2011, the Company acquired Fast Growth Enterprises Limited (FGE), a British Virgin Islands company which owns and controls two Chinese operating companies - Life Enhancement Technologies Ltd. (”LET”) 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 now operates through three wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Vaso Diagnostics d/b/a VasoHealthcare continues as the operating subsidiary for the sales representation of GE Healthcare diagnostic imaging products; Vasomedical Global Corp. operates the Company’s Chinese companies; and Vasomedical Solutions, Inc. manages and coordinates our EECP® therapy business as well as other medical equipment operations.

We report the operations of Vasomedical Global Corp. and Vasomedical Solutions, Inc. under our Equipment segment.  VasoHealthcare activities are included under our Sales Representation segment (See Note C).

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 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 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, 2012, as filed with the SEC. These 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 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, 2012, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue and Expense Recognition for VasoHealthcare

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.  Cost of commissions includes commission expense and, beginning in 2013, costs associated with the medical device excise tax imposed by the Affordable Care Act.

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 two segments – the Equipment segment and the Sales Representation segment.  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 Sales Representation segment operates through the VasoHealthcare subsidiary and is currently engaged solely in the fulfillment of the Company’s responsibilities under our agreement with GEHC.  The Company 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:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, GE Healthcare accounted for 81% and 80% of revenue, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, GE Healthcare accounted for 82% and 74% of revenue, respectively.  Also, GE Healthcare accounted for $5.6 million, or 87%, and $8.1 million, or 89%, of accounts and other receivables at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

NOTE D – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company complies with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which requires all share-based awards to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on their estimated fair values.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, the Company granted 340,000 and 400,000 restricted shares of common stock valued at $63,200 and $74,000, respectively.  Shares valued at $3,600 and $38,000 vested over six month and two year periods, respectively, with the remainder vesting immediately.  During the three month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted 2,392,500 shares of restricted common stock valued at $598,000 in conjunction with the extension of the GEHC Agreement.  Such shares vest at various times through July 1, 2013.  In addition, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted 500,000 shares valued at $120,000, of which half vested immediately and the remainder vested during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not grant any stock options.

Share-based compensation expense recognized for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 was $133,000 and $271,000, respectively, and $102,000 and $231,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  These expenses are included in cost of revenues; selling, general, and administrative expenses; and research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Expense for share-based consulting fees with non-employees was $1,000 and $87,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $136,000 and $288,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  Unrecognized expense related to existing share-based compensation and consulting fees is approximately $176,000 at June 30, 2013 and will be recognized through May 2015.

NOTE E – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

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

		(in thousands)
		Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,
		2013				2012				2013				2012
Basic weighted average shares outstanding			162,186				158,072				162,152				156,225
Dilutive effect of share-based compensation			-				1,334				-				-
Contingently issuable shares			-				2,400				-				-
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding			162,186				161,806				162,152				156,225

The following table represents common stock equivalents that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE F – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).  Under ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

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.

NOTE M – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Sales representation agreement

In June 2012, the Company concluded an amendment of the GEHC Agreement with GE Healthcare, 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, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances.  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.

In conjunction with the extension of the GEHC Agreement, the Company granted VasoHealthcare employees both stock and cash-based performance incentives for the ensuing year.  The incentives provide for cash payments of up to $2.4 million and 2.4 million shares of restricted common stock grants and vest at various times through July 1, 2013.  A condition of the incentives is that the employees remain continuously employed through the vesting dates.  As of June 30, 2013, approximately $0.5 million and 0.5 million shares remained unvested.  These amounts vested on July 1, 2013.

NOTE N - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adoption of New Standards

Other Comprehensive Income:  Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance.  The new guidance requires entities to disclose the effect of each item that was reclassified in its entirety out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income on each affected net income line item.  For reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross-reference to other required disclosures is required. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE O – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

As discussed in Note L, on July 30, 2013 the Company approved an increase to its previously announced stock repurchase program of its common stock, from up to $1.5 million to up to $2 million.  As of the close of business on August 9, 2013, the Company has acquired 7,989,258 shares of its common stock pursuant to this program, including a block transaction of 6,708,134 shares on July 30, 2013, at an aggregate cost to the Company of $1,347,197.

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; uncertainties about the acceptance of a novel therapeutic modality by the medical community; continuation of the GEHC Agreement 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.

General Overview

Vasomedical, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in July 1987.  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “Company”, “registrant”, “Vasomedical” or “management” 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.

In May 2010, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, expanded into the sales representation business via its agreement with GE Healthcare (“GEHC”), the healthcare business unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), to be GEHC’s 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 Company entered into an amendment, effective July 1, 2012, of the sales representative agreement (“GEHC Agreement”) extending the initial term of three years commencing July 1, 2010 to five years through June 30, 2015, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances.

In September 2011, the Company acquired Fast Growth Enterprises Limited (FGE), a British Virgin Islands company, which owns and 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 now operates 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 Company’s Chinese companies; and Vasomedical Solutions, Inc. was formed to manage and coordinate our EECP® therapy business as well as other medical equipment operations.

We now report the operations of Vasomedical Global Corp. and Vasomedical Solutions, Inc. under our Equipment segment.  VasoHealthcare activities are included under our Sales Representation segment (see Note C).

The Company expects to achieve profitability through reaching a higher commission rate under the GEHC Agreement, growth in our China operations and by expanding our product portfolio.  In addition, the Company plans to pursue other accretive acquisitions in the international and domestic markets and to expand our 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 (“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 “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, 2012.

 

Results of Operations – For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $7,896,000 and $7,697,000, respectively, an increase of $199,000, or 3%. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $537,000 compared to net income of $54,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The change from net income to net loss was primarily attributable to a $167,000 decrease in gross profit and a $398,000 increase in selling, general and administrative costs.  Our total net (loss)/earnings was $(0.00) and $0.00 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Revenues

Revenue in our Equipment segment decreased by $50,000, or 3%, to $1,505,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 from $1,555,000 for the same period of the prior year.  Equipment segment revenue from equipment sales increased by $34,000, or 3%, to $1,090,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1,056,000 for the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $310,000 increase in international sales by our China operations, partially offset by a decrease of $283,000 in EECP® revenues as a result of lower sales volume.

Current demand for EECP® systems domestically will likely remain soft until there is greater clinical acceptance for the use of EECP® therapy in treating patients with angina or angina equivalent symptoms who meet the current reimbursement guidelines, or a favorable change in current reimbursement policies by CMS or third party payers to consider EECP therapy as a first-line treatment option for angina or cover some or all Class II & III heart failure patients. Patients with angina or angina equivalent symptoms eligible for reimbursement under current policies include many with serious comorbidities, such as heart failure, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and/or others.

Equipment segment revenue from equipment rental and services decreased 17% to $415,000 in the second quarter of 2013 from $499,000 in the second quarter of 2012. Revenue from equipment rental and services represented 28% and 32% of total Equipment segment revenue in the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.  The decrease in revenue generated from equipment rentals and services is due primarily to decreased accessory part and service contract revenues.

Commission revenues in the Sales Representation segment were $6,391,000 in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to $6,142,000 in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 4%.  The increase in commission revenue in the second quarter of 2013 is due primarily to an increase in volume of equipment delivered by GEHC.  The Company recognizes 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 June 30, 2013, $12,076,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $2,542,000 is long-term.  At June 30, 2012, $13,896,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $4,748,000 was long-term.

Gross Profit

The Company had a gross profit of $5,363,000 in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $5,530,000 in the second quarter of the prior year, a decrease of 3%.  The decrease is principally due to lower commission rates on equipment orders in 2012 which were delivered in the second quarter of 2013 in the Sales Representation segment.  Equipment segment gross profit increased to $947,000, or 63% of Equipment segment revenues, for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $881,000, or 57% of Equipment segment revenues, for the same quarter of 2012.  Equipment segment gross profit improved due to a greater proportion of other medical equipment sales versus EECP® equipment sales, which have higher margins than EECP® equipment, in the second quarter of 2013.  Gross profit margin on EECP® equipment improved as a result of lower production costs arising from the acquisition of LET, our primary supplier of certain EECP® systems.  Gross profit in the Equipment segment is dependent on a number of factors, particularly the mix of new and refurbished EECP® systems and the mix of models sold, their respective average selling prices, the mix of EECP® units sold, rented or placed during the period, the ongoing costs of servicing EECP® systems, and certain fixed period costs, including facilities, payroll and insurance.

Sales Representation segment gross profit was $4,416,000, or 69%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $4,649,000, or 76%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease was due to lower commission rates, coupled with commission expense which is at the same rate as in 2012, partially offset by higher revenue in this segment.  Cost of commissions of $1,975,000 and $1,493,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflects commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues, and, starting in 2013, additional costs associated with the medical device excise tax imposed by the Affordable Care Act.  Commission expense associated with deferred revenue is recorded as deferred commission expense until the related commission revenue is earned.

Operating (Loss) Income

Operating loss was $532,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to operating income of $75,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $607,000.  The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to the decrease in gross profit in the Sales Representation segment as described above, where operating income was $308,000 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to operating income of $681,000 in the same quarter of the prior year.  Equipment segment operating loss also increased by $284,000 to $481,000 in the second quarter of 2013 from $197,000 in the same period of the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 were $5,733,000, or 73% of revenues, and $5,335,000, or 69% of revenues, respectively, reflecting an increase of $398,000 or approximately 7%. The increase in SG&A expenditures in the second quarter of 2013 resulted primarily from increased costs associated with the expansion of the Equipment segment sales team of approximately $200,000, as well as $140,000 higher costs in the Sales Representation segment, which includes $76,000 of non-recurring costs attributable to the renewal of the GEHC contract.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses of $162,000, or 2% of revenues (11% of Equipment segment revenues), for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $42,000, or 35%, from $120,000, or 2% of revenues (8% of Equipment segment revenues), for the second quarter of 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in product development expenses.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and other income, net for the second quarter of 2013 was $44,000 as compared to $58,000 for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease was due primarily to lower interest earnings on the Company’s cash balances.

Amortization of Deferred Gain on Sale-leaseback of Building

The amortization of the deferred gain on the sale-leaseback of our Westbury, NY facility for the second quarter of 2012 was $13,000.  The deferred gain was fully amortized in the third quarter of 2012.

Income Tax Expense

During the second quarter of 2013 we recorded an income tax expense of $49,000 as compared to an income tax expense of $92,000 for the second quarter of 2012.  The decrease arose from reduced tax expense at our Chinese subsidiaries.

Results of Operations – For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $15,189,000 and $13,740,000, respectively, an increase of $1,449,000, or 11%. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,189,000 compared to a net loss of $1,288,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to a $714,000 increase in gross profit, partially offset by a $672,000 increase in selling, general and administrative costs.  Our total net loss was $0.01 per basic and diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Revenues

Revenue in our Equipment segment decreased by $752,000, or 21%, to $2,789,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 from $3,541,000 for the same period of the prior year.  Equipment segment revenue from equipment sales decreased by $542,000, or 22%, to $1,967,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $2,509,000 for the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease of $806,000 in EECP® revenues as a result of lower sales volume.

Current demand for EECP® systems domestically will likely remain soft until there is greater clinical acceptance for the use of EECP® therapy in treating patients with angina or angina equivalent symptoms who meet the current reimbursement guidelines, or a favorable change in current reimbursement policies by CMS or third party payers to consider EECP therapy as a first-line treatment option for angina or cover some or all Class II & III heart failure patients. Patients with angina or angina equivalent symptoms eligible for reimbursement under current policies include many with serious comorbidities, such as heart failure, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and/or others.

Equipment segment revenue from equipment rental and services decreased 20% to $822,000 in the first half of 2013 from $1,032,000 in the first half of 2012. Revenue from equipment rental and services represented 29% of total Equipment segment revenue in the first six months of both fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012.  The decrease in revenue generated from equipment rentals and services is due primarily to decreased accessory part and service contract revenues.

Commission revenues in the Sales Representation segment were $12,400,000 in the first half of 2013, as compared to $10,199,000 in the first half of 2012, an increase of 22%.  The increase in commission revenue in the first half of 2013 is due primarily to an increase in volume of equipment delivered by GEHC.  The Company recognizes 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 June 30, 2013, $12,076,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $2,542,000 is long-term.  At June 30, 2012, $13,896,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $4,748,000 was long-term.

Gross Profit

The Company had a gross profit of $10,425,000 in the first half of 2013 compared to $9,711,000 in the first half of the prior year, an increase of 7%.  The increase is principally due to the increase in commission revenue discussed above.  Equipment segment gross profit decreased to $1,696,000, or 61% of Equipment segment revenues, for the first half of 2013 compared to $1,968,000, or 56% of Equipment segment revenues, for the same period of 2012.  Equipment segment gross profit declined due to lower equipment sales in the first half of 2013.  Gross profit margin on EECP® equipment improved as a result of lower production costs arising from the acquisition of LET, our primary supplier of certain EECP® systems.  Gross profit in the Equipment segment is dependent on a number of factors, particularly the mix of new and refurbished EECP® systems and the mix of models sold, their respective average selling prices, the mix of EECP® units sold, rented or placed during the period, the ongoing costs of servicing EECP® systems, and certain fixed period costs, including facilities, payroll and insurance.

Vasomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Sales Representation segment gross profit was $8,729,000, or 70%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $7,743,000, or 76%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase was due to higher revenue in this segment, as explained above, partially offset by lower commission rates in the first half of 2013.  Cost of commissions of $3,671,000 and $2,456,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflects commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues, and, starting in 2013, additional costs associated with the medical device excise tax imposed by the Affordable Care Act.  Commission expense associated with deferred revenue is recorded as deferred commission expense until the related commission revenue is earned.

Operating (Loss) Income

Operating loss was $1,214,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to an operating loss of $1,226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an improvement of $12,000.  The decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable to improved operating performance in the Sales Representation segment, where operating income was $670,000 for the first half of 2013 compared to an operating loss of $115,000 in the same period of the prior year.  Partially offsetting the improvement in the Sales Representation segment was an increase in operating loss of $772,000 in the Equipment segment to $1,125,000 in the first half of 2013 from an operating loss of $353,000 in the same period of the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the first half of 2013 and 2012 were $11,337,000, or 75% of revenues, and $10,665,000, or 78% of revenues, respectively, reflecting an increase of $672,000 or approximately 6%. The increase in SG&A expenditures in the first half of 2013 resulted primarily from increased costs associated with the expansion of the Equipment segment sales team of approximately $320,000, as well as $201,000 higher costs in the Sales Representation segment.  The increase of $201,000 includes $314,000 of non-recurring costs attributable to the renewal of the GEHC contract, partially offset by reductions in other areas.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses of $302,000, or 2% of revenues (11% of Equipment segment revenues), for the first half of 2013 increased by $30,000, or 11%, from $272,000, or 2% of revenues (8% of Equipment segment revenues), for the first half of 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in product development expenses.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and other income, net for the first half of 2013 was $82,000 as compared to $27,000 for the first half of 2012. The improvement was due to certain non-recurring non-operating expenses incurred by our Chinese subsidiaries in the first half of 2012.

Amortization of Deferred Gain on Sale-leaseback of Building

The amortization of the deferred gain on the sale-leaseback of our Westbury, NY facility for the first half of 2012 was $27,000.  The deferred gain was fully amortized in the third quarter of 2012.

Income Tax Expense

During the first half of 2013 we recorded income tax expense of $57,000 as compared to income tax expense of $116,000 for the first half of 2012.  The decrease resulted from lower tax expense at our Chinese subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Flow

We have financed our operations from working capital.  At June 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11,557,000, short-term investments of $111,000 and working capital of $5,195,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $11,469,000, short-term investments of $110,000 and working capital of $7,538,000 at December 31, 2012.

Vasomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Cash provided by operating activities was $336,000 during the first six months of 2013, which consisted of a net loss after adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash of $639,000, offset by cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $975,000. The changes in the account balances primarily reflect a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $2,666,000, partially offset by decreases in deferred revenue of $2,331,000 and accrued commissions of $371,000.  Under the GEHC Agreement the Company earns progressively higher commission rates as calendar year targets are met, and this commission structure has a significant impact on our cash flows. As we achieve these targets, the higher commission rates are retroactively applied to all sales in the calendar year, and therefore, the significantly higher commission billings and recognized revenue generated in the fourth quarter of 2011 resulted in significant cash inflows in the first half of 2012.  As we previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, lower commission rates were earned in 2012 than in 2011, resulting in lower cash inflows in the first half of 2013.

Cash used in investing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $45,000 for the purchase of equipment and software.

Cash used in financing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $182,000 for the repurchase of common stock.

Liquidity

The Company expects to achieve profitability and continued positive cash flow through reaching a higher commission rate under the GEHC Agreement, growth in our China operations and by expanding our product portfolio.  In addition, the Company plans to pursue other accretive acquisitions in the international and domestic markets and to expand our sales representation business.

While we expect to generate positive operating cash flows for 2013, the progressive nature of the commission rates under the GEHC Agreement can cause related cash inflows to vary widely during the year.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures reporting as promulgated under the Exchange Act is defined as controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our CEO and our CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013 and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2013 due to insufficient controls and management review over the recording of certain transactions, and the lack of accounting personnel with appropriate level of knowledge and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and related accounting systems and the closing process at our China subsidiaries.  The Company has engaged additional accounting personnel, and has implemented a review process of its closing procedures, related disclosures, and the approval of certain transactions, and expect that these actions have resolved the issues.  Management expects to test the effectiveness of these modifications in connection with the 2013 audit.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
