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. Since 1995, we have been primarily engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting EECP® enhanced external counterpulsation systems based on our unique proprietary technology currently indicated 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. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, is the exclusive sales representative for GE Healthcare (“GEHC”), the healthcare business unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), for the sale of select GE Healthcare Diagnostic Imaging products. Under the GEHC Agreement, VasoHealthcare has been appointed the exclusive representative for these products to specific market segments in the 48 contiguous states of the United States and the District of Columbia. The GEHC Agreement has an initial term of three years commencing July 1, 2010, subject to extension and also subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances.
In September 2011, the Company acquired Fast Growth Enterprises Limited (FGE), a British Virgin Islands company which, through its subsidiaries, owns and controls two Chinese operating companies - Life Enhancement Technologies 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 Healthcare diagnostic imaging products; Vasomedical Global Corp. operates the Company’s recently-acquired 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 reportable segment. VasoHealthcare activities are included under our Sales Representation reportable segment (See Note C).
NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated condensed 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 consolidated condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these consolidated condensed 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 transition period ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC. These consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the companies over which we exercise control. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed 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 consolidated condensed financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated condensed 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 Transition Report on Form 10-K for the seven months ended December 31, 2011, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated condensed financial statements.
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 marketing of other medical devices. The Sales Representation segment operates through the VasoHealthcare subsidiary and is currently engaged solely in the execution 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. There are no intersegment revenues. Summary financial information for the segments is set forth below:

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 consolidated condensed financial statements based on their estimated fair values.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors granted 500,000 restricted shares of common stock, valued at $120,000 to an officer, of which half vested immediately and the remainder vests over one year. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $62,000 were issued to two directors for joining the Board of Directors.
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors did not grant any stock options.
Share-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $129,000 and $126,000, respectively. These expenses are included in cost of revenues; selling, general, and administrative expenses; and research and development expenses in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. Expense for share-based arrangements was $152,000 and $47,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Unrecognized expense related to existing share-based arrangements is approximately $1.1 million at March 31, 2012 and will be recognized ratably through July 2013.
NOTE E – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings 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 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.
Basic and diluted loss per common share was $0.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
The following table represents common stock equivalents that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

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 primarily reflects commission advances made to sales personnel.

The consideration of this acquisition includes a cash payment of $1 million as well as the issuance of 5 million restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, up to 2.4 million shares of common stock contingently issuable upon the achievement of certain operating performance targets, and warrants covering 1.5 million shares of common stock.
LET, based in Foshan, Guangdong, China, has been Vasomedical’s supplier for its proprietary Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP®) systems, including certain Lumenair systems and all AngioNew® systems. Biox, a developer and manufacturer of ambulatory monitoring devices in China, is located in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China, and has been Vasomedical’s partner on the BIOX series ECG Holter recorder and analysis software as well as ambulatory blood pressure monitoring systems. Vasomedical has obtained FDA clearance to market these products in the United States. 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 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.
The operating results of FGE are included in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2012 reflects the acquisition of FGE, effective September 2, 2011. The acquisition date fair value of the total consideration transferred was $3.979 million, which consisted of the following:

After elimination of intercompany transactions which reduce the income from FGE, the amounts of revenue and net income of FGE included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $578,000 and $35,000, respectively. The effect of FGE earnings on earnings per share was $0.00.

NOTE L – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On June 21, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Kerns Manufacturing Corp. (“Kerns”). Pursuant to this agreement, a five-year warrant to purchase 4,285,714 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.08 per share was issued to Kerns. In March 2012, Kerns exercised its warrant and purchased 4,285,714 shares of common stock. Concurrently with our entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Supplier Agreement with Living Data Technology Corporation (“Living Data”), an affiliate of Kerns. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, as amended, we became the exclusive worldwide distributor of the AngioNew EECP® systems manufactured through Living Data. The Distribution Agreement had an initial term extending through May 31, 2012. Subsequent to August 31, 2011 the Company acquired Life Enhancement Technology (LET) (see Note I), the manufacturer of the AngioNew EECP® system. Consequently, the Distribution Agreement is no longer effective, and the Company wrote-off the remaining unamortized balance of Deferred Distributor Costs during the seven months ended December 31, 2011.

On February 28, 2011, David Lieberman and Edgar Rios were appointed by the Board of Directors as directors of the Company. Mr. Lieberman, a practicing attorney in the State of New York, was appointed to serve as the Vice Chairman of the Board. He is currently a senior partner at the law firm of Beckman, Lieberman & Barandes, LLP, which firm performs certain legal services for the Company. Fees of approximately $67,000 were billed by the firm through the three months ended March 31, 2012, at which date no amounts were outstanding.
Mr. Rios currently is President of Edgary Consultants, LLC, and was appointed a director in conjunction with the Company’s consulting agreement with Edgary Consultants, LLC. The consulting agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Edgary Consultants, LLC (“Consultant”) commenced on March 1, 2011 and runs for a two year term.. The Agreement provides for the engagement of Consultant to assist the Company in seeking broader reimbursement coverage of EECP® therapy. More specifically, Consultant will be assisting the Company in the following areas:
1.
|
Engaging the adoption of EECP® therapy as a first line option for FDA cleared indications as it relates to CCS Class III/IV angina with a major commercial healthcare third-party payer.
|
2.
|
Engaging a major commercial healthcare payer to formally collaborate and co-sponsor a study with Vasomedical for the efficacy, efficiency and/or cost effectiveness of the EECP® therapy for NYHA Class II/III heart failure.
|
3.
|
Engaging final approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) of EECP® therapy as a first line treatment for CCS Class III/IV angina.
|
4.

|
5.
|
Engaging final approval from CMS to extend coverage and provide for the reimbursement of EECP® therapy for NYHA Class II/III heart failure.
|
In consideration for the services to be provided by Consultant under the Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to Consultant or its designees, approximately 10% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, of which the substantial portion (in excess of 82%) is performance based as referenced above. In conjunction with the Agreement, 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $1,020,000 were issued in March 2011. In connection with the Agreement, Mr. Lieberman received 600,000 of these restricted shares. The Company has recorded the fair value of the shares issued to Consultant as a prepaid expense and is amortizing the cost ratably over the two year agreement. The unamortized value is reported as Deferred Related Party Consulting Expense in our accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, a director performed consulting services for the Company aggregating approximately $10,000.
Through the Company’s acquisition of FGE in September 2011, it assumed the liability for $288,000 in unsecured notes payable to the President of LET and his spouse, of which $95,000 was repaid in December 2011, and $190,000, bearing interest at 6% per annum, was paid in March 2012. In addition, receivables due from FGE management aggregating $158,000 were collected during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

NOTE M – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
On June 17, 2010 the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Stock Plan (the “2010 Plan”) for officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock issuable under the 2010 Plan shall be shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the 2010 Plan is 5,000,000 shares.
The 2010 Plan is comprised of two separate equity programs, the Options Grant Program, under which eligible persons may be granted options to purchase shares of common stock, and the Stock Issuance Program, under which eligible persons may be issued shares of common stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered to the Company.
The 2010 Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, will administer it with full authority to determine the identity of the recipients of the options or shares and the number of options or shares. Options granted under the 2010 Plan may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The option price shall be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant ( or in the case of incentive stock options granted to any individual stockholder possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all voting stock of the Company, 110% of such fair market value). The term of any option may be fixed by the Board of Directors, or its authorized committee, but in no event shall it exceed five years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable upon payment in full of the exercise price, either in cash or in common stock valued at fair market value on the date of exercise of the option.
As of March 31, 2012, 3,790,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted under the 2010 Plan to non-officer employees and consultants of the Company. As of March 31, 2012, 545,000 shares have been forfeited. In March 2012, 500,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted under the 2010 Plan to an officer, of which 250,000 vested immediately with the remainder vesting over a one year period.
No options were issued under the 2010 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
In September 2011, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and a two year common stock purchase warrant for 1,500,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per share as partial consideration for the acquisition of FGE. In addition, up to 2,400,000 shares of common stock are contingently issuable should FGE attain certain operating targets for the twelve months ending December 31, 2011. The Company is completing its evaluation of FGE’s calendar year 2011 results and believes it is likely that the targets have been met. The aggregate value of the aforementioned noncash consideration relative to the FGE acquisition was $2,979,000.
Preferred Stock
On June 24, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Certificate of Designations”), as authorized by the Board of Directors, designating 350,000 shares of its 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”). The conversion rights of the Series E Preferred are that each share will be convertible at any time on or after January 1, 2011, at the holder’s option into 100 shares of common stock (an exercise price of $.16 per share of common stock, the “Conversion Price”), subject to anti-dilution adjustment as set forth below. Each share of outstanding Series E Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock on or after July 1, 2011, at the then effective applicable conversion ratio, if, at any time following the Issuance Date, the price of the common stock for any 30 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds three times the Conversion Price and the average daily trading volume for the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive trading days exceeds 250,000 shares.

Vasomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)
Pursuant to its conversion terms, the Series E Preferred was deemed automatically converted to common stock effective July 1, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, 30,603,700 shares of common stock had been issued for 306,037 shares of Series E Preferred, with 64,750 shares of common stock yet to be issued.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company sold 9,375 shares of Series E Preferred aggregating $150,000, and recorded dividends totaling $128,000. Included in such dividends is the recognition of the value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of the Series E Preferred, which reflects the difference between the conversion price and the market price at time of investment. The amounts included in the dividends reported attributable to this beneficial conversion feature are $65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. These are noncash dividends requiring no payment and ceased on conversion of the Series E Preferred to common stock.
NOTE N – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Sales representation agreement
The GEHC Agreement is for an initial term of three years commencing July 1, 2010, subject to extension and also subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances.

NOTE O - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Other Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance. The new guidance allows the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single or continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that it will have a material impact on its consolidated condensed financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to defer the effective date for those aspects of the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this new guidance will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation of other comprehensive income.

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 transition 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. Since 1995, we have been engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting EECP® Enhanced External Counterpulsation systems, based on our proprietary technology, to physicians and hospitals throughout the United States and in select international markets.
In 2010, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics d/b/a VasoHealthcare, organized a group of medical device sales professionals and entered into the sales representation business as the exclusive representative for the sale of select General Electric Company (GE) diagnostic imaging equipment to specific market segments in the 48 contiguous states of the United States and the District of Columbia.
In September 2011, the Company acquired Fast Growth Enterprises Limited (FGE), a British Virgin Islands company, which, through its subsidiaries, 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 newly-acquired 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 reportable segment. VasoHealthcare activities are included under our Sales Representation reportable segment (see Note C).
The Company will seek to improve profitability through our recent accretive acquisition of the two Chinese medical device companies and by expanding our U.S. market product portfolio. In addition, the Company plans to actively pursue other accretive acquisitions in the international market and is in preliminary discussions to secure a credit facility for up to $25 million to be utilized for this purpose.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed 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.
Page 17
Vasomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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 Transition Report on Form 10-K for the seven months ended December 31, 2011.
On June 15, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a change of the Company’s fiscal year end from May 31st to December 31st. As a result of this change, the Company filed a Transition Report on Form 10-K for the seven-month transition period ended December 31, 2011. Going forward, references to our 2012 and 2011 fiscal years herein mean the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of New Standards
Other Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance. The new guidance allows the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single or continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to defer the effective date for those aspects of the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this new guidance will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation of other comprehensive income.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, was $6,043,000 and $4,845,000, respectively, an increase of $1,198,000, or 25%. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1,344,000 compared to a net loss of $465,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We reported net loss applicable to common stockholders of $1,344,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $593,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The increase in net loss applicable to common stockholders was primarily attributable to a $1,701,000 increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs (of which $1,049,000 was attributable to VasoHealthcare), partially offset by a $128,000 decrease in preferred stock dividends. Our total net loss was $0.01 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Vasomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Revenues
Revenue in our Equipment segment increased by $881,000, or 80%, to $1,986,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 from $1,105,000 for the same period of the prior year. Equipment segment revenue from equipment sales increased by $925,000, or 175%, to $1,453,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $528,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in equipment sales is due primarily to an increase in the number of EECP® units shipped internationally as well as an increase in the sales price per EECP® unit, partially offset by a decrease in sales of other medical equipment, and by the inclusion of $578,000 in equipment sales generated by our Chinese subsidiaries acquired in September, 2011.
Current demand for EECP® systems 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. As described in Note L, we are pursuing initiatives to expand reimbursement that we expect should ultimately increase overall market demand for our EECP® systems.
Equipment segment revenue from equipment rental and services decreased 8% to $533,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $577,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Revenue from equipment rental and services represented 27% and 52% of total Equipment segment revenue in the first quarters of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively. The decrease in revenue generated from equipment rentals and services is due primarily to decreased service revenue, partially offset by higher accessory part revenue.
Commission revenues in the Sales Representation segment were $4,057,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to $3,740,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 8%. The increase in commission revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 is due to increased volume of equipment delivered. 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 Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. Due to the nature of our commission structure under the GEHC Agreement, wherein the Company earns progressively higher commission rates retroactively as calendar year targets are met, revenues earned in the first and fourth fiscal quarters typically reflect a higher blended commission rate than revenues earned in the second and third fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2012, $13,581,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet, of which $3,105,000 is long-term. At March 31, 2011, $9,763,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet, of which $2,929,000 was long-term.
Gross Profit
The Company had a gross profit of $4,181,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $3,256,000 in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, an increase of 28%. Equipment segment gross profit increased to $1,087,000, or 55% of Equipment segment revenues, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $446,000 or 40% of Equipment segment revenues, for the same quarter of fiscal 2011. Equipment segment gross profit was favorably impacted both in absolute dollars and gross profit percentage by the $578,000 in sales of other medical equipment sold through our Chinese subsidiaries in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. In addition, gross profit on EECP® equipment improved due to 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 $3,094,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $2,810,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Cost of commissions of $963,000 and $930,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, reflects commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues. Commission expense associated with deferred revenue is recorded as deferred commission expense until the related commission revenue is earned.

Operating Loss
Operating loss increased by $820,000, or 170%, to $1,301,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to an operating loss of $481,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in operating loss was primarily attributable to higher operating losses in the Sales Representation segment of $764,000 and higher corporate expenses od $165,000, both arising from higher SG&A costs, partially offset by a $925,000 improvement in gross profit.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011 were $5,330,000, or 88% of revenues, and $3,629,000, or 75% of revenues, respectively, reflecting an increase of $1,701,000 or approximately 47%. The increase in SG&A expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 resulted primarily from increased sales and marketing costs in both segments, including SG&A costs of the recently acquired Chinese entities, and higher corporate compensation costs.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a reduction in provision for doubtful accounts and commission adjustments of $74,000 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 when the Company recorded a reduction in its provision for doubtful accounts and commission adjustments of $202,000. These reductions were primarily net reversals of previous provisions to reduce gross deferred revenues for estimated adjustments.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses of $152,000, or 3% of revenues, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased by $44,000, or 41%, from $108,000, or 2% of revenues, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in clinical research expenses.
Interest and Financing Costs
Interest and financing costs for the first quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011 were $3,000 and $1,000, respectively. Interest and financing costs for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 consisted primarily of interest on the notes payable to a related party in one of the China subsidiaries. Interest and financing costs for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 consisted of interest on a short-term note to finance the Company’s insurance premiums.
Interest and Other Income (Expenses), Net
Interest and other income (expense) for the first quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011, was ($18,000) and $14,000, respectively. The increase of $32,000 in expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 is due primarily to certain non-operating expenses incurred by our Chinese subsidiaries, partially offset by higher interest earned on the Company’s cash balances.
Amortization of Deferred Gain on Sale-leaseback of Building
The amortization of deferred gain on sale-leaseback of building for the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was $13,000. The gain resulted from the Company’s sale-leaseback of its facility.
Income Tax Expense, Net
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 we recorded a provision for income taxes of $25,000 as compared to a tax benefit of $2,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase arose primarily from foreign tax liabilities associated with the acquisition of FGE.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Flow
We have financed our operations primarily from working capital, and, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, from the issuance of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock. At March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.3 million, short-term investments of $110,000 and working capital of $8.6 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million, short-term investments of $110,000 and working capital of $11.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Cash provided by operating activities was $11,022,000 during the first three months of fiscal year 2012, which consisted of a net loss after adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash of $1,101,000, offset by cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $12,123,000. The changes in the account balances primarily reflect a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $14,543,000, offset by increases in deferred revenue and accrued commissions of $447,000 and $1,786,000, respectively, and increases in deferred commission expense of $507,000. As noted above, under the GEHC Agreement the Company earns progressively higher commission rates as calendar year targets are met, which also has a significant impact on our cash flows. As we achieve these targets the higher commission rates are retroactive to the beginning of the calendar year, and therefore, the significantly higher commission billings and recognized revenue generated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 resulted in significant cash inflows in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 used cash of $113,000 for the purchase of property and equipment.
Financing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 provided cash of $153,000, consisting of $343,000 provided through the cash exercise of warrants, offset by $190,000 for the repayment of notes payable to a related party.
Liquidity
The Company will seek to improve profitability through our recent accretive acquisition of the two Chinese medical device companies and by expanding our U.S. market product portfolio. In addition, the Company plans to actively pursue other accretive acquisitions in the international market and is in preliminary discussions to secure a credit facility for up to $25 million to be utilized for this purpose.
While we expect to generate positive operating cash flows for fiscal 2012, the progressive nature of earned commissions under the GEHC Agreement can cause related cash inflows to vary widely during the year.

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 March 31, 2012 and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2012 due to insufficient controls and management review over the recording of certain transactions, and to 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 closing process at our China subsidiaries. The Company intends to engage additional accounting personnel, including an accounting controller, and strengthen its internal controls with regard to its closing process, related disclosures, and the approval of certain transactions.
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.
