Company Reports 239% Revenue Growth over Same Quarter in Prior Year
WESTBURY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTC: VASO.PK), a leader in the manufacture and sale of devices for the non-invasive treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases and a leader in the sale of diagnostic imaging products, today reported financial results for the three months ended August 31, 2011. These results include the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc., d/b/a VasoHealthcare, our sales representative subsidiary which represents GE Healthcare (“GEHC”) for the sale of select diagnostic imaging products on an exclusive basis to specific market segments in the 48 contiguous states of the United States and Washington, DC.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2012, which ended August 31, 2011, the Company had revenue of approximately $4.33 million, compared to revenue of $1.28 million for the quarter ended August 31, 2010, an increase of $3.05 million, or 239%. The increase is principally due to an increase in commission revenue at VasoHealthcare, as the agreement with GE Healthcare is now in full operation and had only begun in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1.74 million for the three months ended August 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $2.60 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The significant decrease in the net loss is attributable to the increase in commission revenue offset by the related increase in commission expense. Due to the nature of our commission structure under the agreement with GEHC, we earn progressively higher commission rates as calendar year targets are met. As we achieve these targets the higher commission rates are retroactive to the beginning of the calendar year, and therefore we anticipate earning and recognizing greater revenue in the fourth quarter of the calendar year. We continue to record substantial amounts of deferred revenues, which will be recognized once the underlying equipment or service is accepted or performed. As of August 31, 2011, total deferred revenues were approximately $12.1 million, an increase of $200 thousand from $11.9 million at May 31, 2011.
Cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended August 31, 2011 improved by $403 thousand, to $1.84 million, compared to cash used in operating activities of $2.24 million for the same period in the prior year. As noted above, our commission rates under the agreement with GEHC are progressively higher as calendar year targets are met, therefore, we anticipate significantly higher commission billings and recognized revenue in the fourth quarter of the calendar year, as well as receiving payment for such billings in subsequent periods. Our financial position continues to be strong with more than $6.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand at August 31, 2011.
“We are excited that we have achieved significant revenue growth from our VasoHealthcare operations and made gains in our operating cash flows,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, Chief Executive Officer and President of Vasomedical. “The performance of VasoHealthcare has generated a significant backlog of deferred revenue to be recognized in ensuing quarters as well as a tremendous improvement in our operating cash flow.”
“Through the vertical integration and expansion of our product lines resulting from our recently announced acquisitions of Life Enhancement Technology Ltd. and BIOX Instruments Co. Ltd., Vasomedical is better positioned in the marketplace to realize our global vision while enhancing our growth and profitability potential,” said Dr. Ma.

Substantial Revenue Growth of Approximately 300% for Fiscal 2011 and Strong Cash Flow from Operations in Excess of $4 Million
WESTBURY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTC:VASO.PK), a leader in the manufacture and sale of devices for the non-invasive treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases as well as a leader in the sale of diagnostic imaging products, today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. These results include the operations of the Company’s equipment segment as well as its sales representation segment, conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics d/b/a VasoHealthcare which represents GE Healthcare (“GEHC”) for the sale of select diagnostic imaging products on an exclusive basis to specific market segments in the 48 contiguous states of the United States.
For the fiscal year 2011, which ended May 31, 2011, the Company’s total revenues were $16.37 million, an increase of $12.17 million, or 289% as compared to revenues of $4.21 million for the last fiscal year. While the Company reported an operating loss of approximately $3.93 million for the year, compared to an operating loss of $1.98 million for the prior fiscal year, these losses were largely attributed to the revenue recognition rules applicable to the Company’s VasoHealthcare subsidiary, wherein a part of revenues were deferred. As of May 31, 2011, total deferred revenues for the Company were $11.92 million, including $10.81 million for the VasoHealthcare subsidiary, an increase of $10.89 million from $1.03 million for fiscal 2010. The substantial part of this deferred revenue should be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2012. Our strong performance in fiscal 2011 is further demonstrated by the significant cash flow generated in the fiscal year. Cash provided by operating activities was $4.14 million during fiscal year 2011, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.59 million during fiscal 2010. As of May 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.13 million.
“We are encouraged by our improved financial results, particularly our significant operating cash flow and increased revenues for the fiscal year,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, Chief Executive Officer and President of Vasomedical. “Our equipment segment revenues improved considerably over last year, with an increase of 25%; and our VasoHealthcare team delivered great performance that exceeded our expectation.” Dr. Ma continues, “With improved performance in all areas of business and our strong cash position, Vasomedical is now looking to further implement its growth strategy. This includes the initiative that we started with our consultants seeking to expand reimbursement for our proprietary EECP® therapy; seeking accretive acquisitions of compatible medical equipment products or partners, such as our recently announced agreement with Biox Instruments Co. Ltd.; and looking to expand our representation of GEHC products. The Company has also retained the services of a public relations firm to create greater visibility of our activities and programs as we implement our growth strategy.”

Further Implements Global Growth Strategy and Strengthens Manufacturing, Distribution and Technology Base
WESTBURY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTC: VASO.PK), a leader in the manufacture and sale of devices for the non-invasive treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases as well as a leader in the sale of diagnostic imaging products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vasomedical Healthcare, today announced that its newly formed subsidiary, Vasomedical Global, has signed an agreement to purchase Life Enhancement Technology Limited and Biox Instruments Co., Ltd., both of which are based in the People’s Republic of China. The purchase agreement for these accretive acquisitions provides for a cash payment at closing of $1,000,000 and the issuance of up to 7,400,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as warrants, part of which issuance is performance based.
Life Enhancement Technology Limited (LET), based in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, has been for the last several years Vasomedical’s contract manufacturer for its Enhanced External Counterpulsation (“EECP”) systems including its AngioNew® and Lumenair EECP® systems. The acquisition of LET provides Vasomedical with consolidated technical and manufacturing capability in its EECP business which should significantly increase gross margins and enable the Company to meet anticipated increasing demand for its EECP systems. The original developer of the AngioNew series EECP systems, LET’s twenty person administrative, engineering and manufacturing staff have an average of more than 10 years of EECP experience including production of Vasomedical’s early model of EECP systems. LET operates in full compliance with ISO 13485, ISO 9001, US FDA cGMP as well as Medical Device Directive of the European Union.
Biox Instruments Co. Ltd. (Biox), located in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, has been the developer and OEM partner of Vasomedical’s BIOX series ambulatory ECG Holter and blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) systems for several years. A leading company in ambulatory monitoring systems and analysis software in the People’s Republic of China, Biox with more than 40 employees is specialized in medical devices of low-power consumption and miniaturization. Over the years Biox has developed and accumulated substantial technology reserve in addition to the ECG Holter and ambulatory ABPM systems currently offered by Vasomedical. Also in full compliance with ISO 13485, ISO 9001, US FDA cGMP as well as Medical Device Directive of the European Union, Biox has marketed its products primarily in China. As its distributor in North America, Vasomedical successfully obtained a series of FDA clearances and now offers a complete line of BIOX products, including ECG Holter recorders, ABPM systems, combined ECG Holter/ABPM systems, as well as analysis and reporting software. The acquisition of Biox greatly enhances Vasomedical’s distribution network, technology and product portfolio, and with combined market and sales efforts of the two companies, should help improve performance and profitability of Vasomedical’s equipment segment.
Mr. Qiuming Shen, President of Biox Instruments, noted that the consolidation plan “further strengthens the proactive sales channel growth plan Biox has been implementing over the past few years and presents even greater sales opportunities for its highly profitable products, technology development and innovative management in a larger global marketplace.”
Mr. Xichang Li, President of Life Enhancement Technology, stated, “LET continues to develop state of the art products. It has positioned itself strategically to meet the challenge and support of anticipated increasing demand for the EECP systems worldwide.”
Dr. Jun Ma, President and CEO of Vasomedical, Inc., upon signing the agreement with Mr. Li, and Mr. Shen, commented, “This consolidation is the first step of Vasomedical’s long term strategic plan to position itself for growth and diversification in a rapidly changing and challenging global medical marketplace.” Dr. Ma stated, “While the acquisition of LET is a natural extension of our EECP business, the joining of Biox into the Vasomedical family not only enhances the Vasomedical business as a vertically integrated company but also provides access to the vast Chinese market for current and future products of Vasomedical.” Dr. Ma continued, “We anticipate the closing of these acquisitions to take place within the next two weeks. As part of our global growth strategy, we also expect to be looking for accretive acquisitions of other medical device companies.”
