WESTBURY, N.Y., Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical” or the “Company”) (OTCBB: VASO) announced today that its shares of common stock have initiated trading via the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the ticker symbol “VASO”.
The listing of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB follows FINRA’s approval on December 3, 2012 of a 15c2-11 filing submitted by World Trade Financial Corporation, a market maker. For the initial 30 days of trading on the OTCBB there will not be a bid or ask displayed publicly for Vasomedical’s common stock, given that there is only one market maker during this period, per the terms of the 15c2-11 filing. After the initial 30 days of trading on the OTCBB additional market makers can begin to make a market in the Company’s stock and a bid and ask will then be available publicly for investors.
“We are excited to initiate trading of our common stock on the OTCBB, which offers our company greater exposure to the investment community. The transition to the OTCBB is part of our broader IR strategy to gain additional investor awareness of Vasomedical and we expect to benefit from increased liquidity in the trading of our shares as a result of this new listing,” said Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc.

WESTBURY, N.Y., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — On November 19, The American College of Cardiology Foundation and American Heart Association (ACCF/AHA) Task Force on Practice Guidelines issued its new Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Patients With Stable Ischemic Heart Disease. Enhanced external counterpulsation, or EECP®Therapy, a proprietary non-invasive cardiology treatment patented by Vasomedical, Inc., (“Vasomedical” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: VASO), retained the same IIb Class of Recommendation (COR) rating it received in the ACC/AHA 2002 Guideline Update for the Management of Patients with Chronic Stable Angina. EECP Therapy was also given a B rating for Level of Evidence (LOE).
According to the Guideline, a class IIb rating maintains that procedures and treatments may be considered for patients. Additional studies with broad objectives are needed and further registry data would be helpful. This classification finds that the benefits of treatments are greater than or equal to the risk of treatment.
“We believe that the 2012 Guideline clearly characterizes EECP Therapy as the gold standard of ECP treatments, since other forms of ECP treatments were not even considered for a ranking. We are pleased that this classification reinforces EECP Therapy’s position as the preeminent, non-invasive treatment for ischemic heart disease,” said Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc.
“Throughout the past decade, EECP Therapy has been offered to hundreds of thousands of patients in hundreds of treatment centers and hospitals in the Unites States. During this time, we have gathered a wealth of data from many different studies, including randomized controlled trials published in peer-reviewed journals, and have received countless testimonials for an improvement to patients’ quality of life,” continued Dr. Ma. “We believe this treatment option should be made available to a broader patient base and are continuing our communications with the ACCF and AHA task force to explore options to raise the Class of Recommendation for EECP based on more current data than referenced in the 2012 Guideline. Our responsibility is not only to support this technology, but also to champion the patient who is not receiving this therapy and its benefits. Furthermore, we have a social obligation to support healthcare cost reduction through the expanded role of EECP Therapy, which has been demonstrated in the clinical literature to reduce re-hospitalizations and emergency room visits.”
The new Guideline puts more emphasis on healthy lifestyle and medication than on invasive procedures such as bypass surgery and the percutaneous coronary intervention. Additionally, of the three available alternative treatments for ischemic heart disease, including spinal cord stimulation and transmyocardial revascularization (TMR), EECP Therapy was the only treatment that attained the same Class of Recommendation and Level of Evidence in the new Guideline as in the 2002 Guideline. The other two alternative treatments were given lower COR and/or LOE ratings than in the 2002 Guideline. EECP is now listed as the first alternative treatment for ischemic heart disease and continues to hold an equal or greater level of acceptance in this important category.

WESTBURY, N.Y., Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTCQB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.
“We reported another strong quarter of sales for our equipment segment in the third quarter. However, changes to certain sales commission milestones for 2012 compared to 2011 have resulted in a third quarter year-over-year revenue comparison that is non-reflective of our actual performance. As such, we believe that the comparison of our revenue for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 offers a more accurate representation of our sales growth. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported a 17.6% increase in total revenue, compared to the same period last year,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc. “We will continue to pursue additional opportunities to expand our equipment segment and explore avenues to grow our sales representation business.”
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenue decreased 12.4% to $5.72 million, compared to $6.53 millionfor the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to a decrease in commission revenues from the Sales Representation segment, resulting from a retroactive commission rate increase that was effected in the second quarter of 2012 as opposed to the third quarter in 2011. The Company had a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $2.52 million, compared to a net income of $0.64 million for the same period in 2011. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.52 million or $0.02 per common share, compared to a net loss of $1.12 million or $0.01 per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
The Company reported an increase in revenue of 17.6% to $19.46 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to revenue of $16.55 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in revenue is the result of improved performance in all areas of the Company’s business, including sales of EECP® Therapy systems and its operations in China, as well as increased commission revenue from VasoHealthcare. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $3.81 million compared to a net loss of $1.36 million for the same period in 2011. The losses were principally due to an increase of costs related to an extension of the sales representation agreement with GE Healthcare, as well as increased sales and marketing costs for the Equipment segment. The costs for the Equipment segment now includes SG&A costs of the recently acquired Chinese entities and one-time costs incurred for incentive compensation for certain key employees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.81 million or $0.02 per common share, compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $2.82 million or $0.02 per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
The Company continues to record a substantial amount of deferred revenues, which will be recognized once the underlying equipment or service is accepted by the customer or performed by the Company. As of September 30, 2012, total deferred revenues were approximately $14.99 million, and the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.69 million.
