NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
 
Vaso Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in July 1987. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “Company”, “registrant”, “Vaso” or “management” refer to Vaso Corporation and its subsidiaries.
 
Overview
 
Vaso Corporation principally operates in three distinct business segments in the healthcare and information technology (“IT”) industries. We manage and evaluate our operations, and report our financial results, through these three business segments.
 
IT segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoTechnology, Inc., primarily focuses on healthcare IT and managed network technology services;
 
Professional sales service segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, primarily focuses on the sale of healthcare capital equipment for General Electric Healthcare (“GEHC”) into the healthcare provider middle market; and
 
Equipment segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoMedical, Inc., primarily focuses on the design, manufacture, sale and service of proprietary medical devices.
 
VasoTechnology
 
VasoTechnology, Inc. was formed in May 2015, at the time the Company acquired all of the assets of NetWolves, LLC and its affiliates, including the membership interests in NetWolves Network Services, LLC (collectively, “NetWolves”). It currently consists of a managed network and security service division and a healthcare IT application VAR (value added reseller) division. Its current offerings include:
 
Managed radiology and imaging applications (channel partner of select vendors of healthcare IT products).

NOTE B – INTERIM STATEMENT PRESENTATION
 
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") for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the 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 conjunction 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, 2019, as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2020.
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the companies over which we exercise control. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim results for the Company. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and cash flows during the periods presented. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions the Company makes are based on historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company's management. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
 
Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides new guidance regarding the measurement and recognition of credit impairment for certain financial assets. Such guidance will impact how we determine our allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which changed the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC from first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2023, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Contract Liabilities
 
Contract liabilities arise in our IT VAR, VasoHealthcare, and VasoMedical businesses. In our IT VAR business, payment arrangements with clients typically include an initial payment due upon contract signing and milestone-based payments based upon product delivery and go-live, as well as post go-live monthly payments for subscription and support fees. Customer payments received, or receivables recorded, in advance of go-live and customer acceptance, where applicable, are deferred as contract liabilities. Such amounts aggregated approximately $478,000 and $568,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
In our VasoHealthcare business, we bill amounts for certain milestones in advance of customer acceptance of the underlying equipment. Such amounts aggregated approximately $16,634,000 and $18,565,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are classified in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either current or long-term deferred revenue. In addition, we record a contract liability for amounts expected to be repaid to GEHC due to customer order reductions. Such amounts aggregated approximately $1,963,000 and $1,270,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
In our VasoMedical business, we bill amounts for post-delivery services and varying duration service contracts in advance of performance. Such amounts aggregated approximately $17,000 and $778,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are classified in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either current or long-term deferred revenue.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized approximately $1.8 million and $4.5 million of revenues that were included in our contract liability balance at July 1, 2020 and January 1, 2020, respectively.
 
NOTE D – SEGMENT REPORTING AND CONCENTRATIONS
 
Vaso Corporation principally operates in three distinct business segments in the healthcare and information technology industries. We manage and evaluate our operations, and report our financial results, through these three reportable segments.
 
IT segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoTechnology, Inc., primarily focuses on healthcare IT and managed network technology services;
 
Professional sales service segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, primarily focuses on the sale of healthcare capital equipment for GEHC into the healthcare provider middle market; and
 
Equipment segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoMedical, Inc., primarily focuses on the design, manufacture, sale and service of proprietary medical devices.

The chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who, in conjunction with upper management, evaluates segment performance based on operating income and adjusted EBITDA (net income (loss), plus interest expense (income), net; tax expense; depreciation and amortization; and non-cash stock-based compensation). 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:

NOTE E – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed as earnings (loss) applicable to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common stock.
 
Diluted earnings (loss) per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares. A reconciliation of basic to diluted shares used in the earnings per share calculation is as follows:

Contract receivables under Topic 606 consist of trade receivables and unbilled receivables. Trade receivables include amounts due for shipped products and services rendered. Unbilled receivables represent variable consideration recognized in accordance with Topic 606 but not yet billable. Amounts recorded – billed and unbilled - under the GEHC Agreement are subject to adjustment in subsequent periods should the underlying sales order amount, upon which the receivable is based, change.
 
Allowance for doubtful accounts and commission adjustments include estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments, and adjustments arising from subsequent changes in sales order amounts that may reduce the amount the Company will ultimately receive under the GEHC Agreement. Due from employees is primarily commission advances made to sales personnel.

Vaso Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
 
In August 2020, the Company issued a note for approximately $42,000 for the purchase of equipment. The note is secured by the purchased equipment, bears interest at 1.9% and is payable in 60 equal monthly installments maturing August 2025.
 
In April 2020, the Company’s Biox subsidiary issued a note RMB1,000,000 (approximately $147,000) with a Chinese bank for working capital purposes. The note is secured by the assets of Biox. It matures April 15, 2021 and bears interest at 4.35% per annum.
 
In April 2020 the Company repaid $1.2 million of the MedTech note (see Note N). The remaining balance of $3.6 million is due on April 30, 2021 and bears interest at 6% per annum.
 
In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued notes aggregating $930,000 to directors, employees, and a shareholder (see Note N). $400,000 and $530,000 of the notes were repaid in June and July 2020, respectively.
 
In August 2019, the Company issued to a private party a $300,000 note bearing interest at 10% per annum and maturing November 15, 2019. In November 2019, the note’s maturity date was extended to January 15, 2020, at which time it was repaid.
 
Paycheck Protection Program debt
 
In April 2020, the Company received funding of a $3,610,900 Note (the “PPP Note”) issued by PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act’s Paycheck Protection Program (the “Program”).
 
The Company accounts for the PPP Note in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 470, Debt, and Technical Question and Answer (TQA) 3200.18, Borrower Accounting for a Forgivable Loan Received Under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program. Under the TQA, the Company:
 
Initially records the cash inflow from the PPP loan as a financial liability and accrues interest in accordance with the interest method under ASC Subtopic 835-30.
 
Does not impute additional interest at a market rate.
 
Continues to record the proceeds from the loan as a liability until either (i) the loan is partly or wholly forgiven and the debtor has been legally released or (ii) the debtor pays off the loan.
 
Reduces the liability by the amount forgiven and records a gain on extinguishment once the loan is partly or wholly forgiven and legal release is received.
 
Amounts outstanding on the PPP Note are at the annual interest rate of 1%. During the first six months of the PPP Note, there is no principal nor interest required to be paid. Thereafter, to the extent the PPP Note is not forgiven under the Program, the outstanding balance of the PPP Note converts to an amortizing term loan payable monthly over an eighteen-month period, which has been updated according to the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (“Flexibility Act”). The PPP Note can be prepaid at any time without penalty.
 
In June 2020, the Flexibility Act was signed into law, which amended the CARES Act. The Flexibility Act changed key provisions of the PPP, including, but not limited to, (i) provisions relating to the maturity of PPP loans, (ii) the deferral period covering of PPP loan payments and (iii) the process for measurement of loan forgiveness. More specifically, the Flexibility Act provides a minimum maturity of five years for all PPP loans made on or after the date of the enactment of the Flexibility Act (“June 5, 2020”) and permits lenders and borrowers to extend the maturity date of earlier PPP loans by mutual agreement. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not approached the lender to request an extension of the maturity date from two years to five years. The Flexibility Act also provides that if a borrower does not apply for forgiveness of a loan within 10 months after the last day of the measurement period (“covered period”), the PPP loan is no longer deferred and the borrower must begin paying principal and interest. In addition, the Flexibility Act extended the length of the covered period from eight weeks to 24 weeks from receipt of proceeds, while allowing borrowers that received PPP loans before June 5, 2020 to determine, at their sole discretion, a covered period of either 8 weeks or 24 weeks.

After reviewing the applicable terms and conditions of the Flexibility Act, the Company elected to extend the length of the covered period from the lesser of (i) period whereby qualified expenses equal loan proceeds or (ii) 24 weeks. The Company has performed initial calculations for the PPP loan forgiveness according to the terms and conditions of the SBA’s Loan Forgiveness Application (Revised June 16, 2020) and, based on such calculations, expects that the PPP loan will be forgiven in full over a period less than 24 weeks. In October 2020, the Company submitted its application to PNC for forgiveness of the PPP Note in an amount equal to the sum of the following costs incurred by the Company during the covered period beginning on the date of first disbursement of the PPP Note proceeds:
 
(a) payroll costs;
(b) any payment of interest on a covered mortgage obligation;
(c) any covered rent payment; and
(d) any covered utility payment.
 
The amount of forgiveness is calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Program. In this regard, no more than 40% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs.
 
NOTE M – SALE OF EQUITY IN THE EECP BUSINESS
 
On May 20, 2020, the Company closed on the sale of 51% of the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary EECP Global Corporation (“EECP Global”) to Chongqing PSK-Health Sci-Tech Development Co. Ltd, a China-based company, for $1,150,000. EECP Global was formed to in September 2019 hold all the assets and liabilities of its EECP business. Concurrently with the closing of the transaction, the Company signed a three-year Management Service Agreement with EECP Global to provide management service for the business and operation of EECP Global in the United States. Pursuant to the agreement, EECP Global reimburses the Company all direct expenses and pays a management fee starting April 1, 2020, the effective date of the sale.
 
Due to the Company’s now minority ownership of EECP Global, it deconsolidated the EECP Global operations effective April 1, 2020 and recorded a gain on sale of approximately $110,000, of which approximately $54,000 resulted from the gain related to the remeasurement of the retained noncontrolling investment in EECP Global to fair value. The gain on sale includes the effect of the reclassification of approximately $187,000 in accumulated translation losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss.
 
The Company uses the equity method to account for its interest in EECP Global as it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity and reports its share of EECP Global operations in Other Income (Expense) on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s share of EECP Global’s income (loss) was approximately $22,000 and $(17,000), respectively. At September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a receivable due from related parties of approximately $84,000 on its condensed consolidated balance sheet for amounts due it from EECP Global for fees and cost reimbursements.
 
NOTE N – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company recorded interest charges aggregating approximately $232,000 and $344,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, payable to MedTechnology Investments, LLC (“MedTech”) pursuant to its $4,800,000 promissory notes (“Notes”). The MedTech Notes were used in 2015 to partially fund the purchase of NetWolves. $2,300,000 of the $4,800,000 provided by MedTech was provided by directors of the Company, or by family members. The Notes bore interest, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of 9% through their original maturity date of May 29, 2019. In August 2018, MedTech agreed to extend the maturity date of $3,600,000 of the Notes an additional year from May 29, 2019 to May 29, 2020, provided that a minimum of $1,200,000 of the principal was paid on or before December 31, 2019 and the annual interest rate for the balance increased to 10% during the extension. The $1,200,000 principal payment was waived pursuant to MedTech’s consent to the bank line of credit maturity extension to September 30, 2020. In April 2020, $1.2 million in principal was repaid in consideration of Medtech extending the maturity date of $3.6 million of the Notes to April 30, 2021 and reducing the interest rate to 6% per annum. The Notes may be prepaid without penalty, and are subordinated to any current or future Senior Debt as defined in the Subordinated Security Agreement. The Subordinated Security Agreement secures payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under the Notes. Interest charges aggregating approximately $56,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2020 and paid on July 1, 2020. The $3.6 million outstanding balance of the MedTech Notes is included in current liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.

General Overview
 
COVID-19 pandemic
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have a significant impact on the United States economy and it is anticipated that its negative impact to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations will continue. At this time we cannot reasonably estimate what the total impact may be. The pandemic has resulted in workforce and travel restrictions and created business disruptions in supply chain, production and demand across many business sectors. Equipment orders in our professional sales service segment have been negatively impacted, and we do anticipate continued negative impact in all our business at least through the fourth quarter, in particular in our professional sales service segment for the diagnostic imaging equipment. Moreover, we have also experienced the negative impact in the recurring revenue business in our IT segment as some of our customers have been adversely affected by the shutdown, and new business in this segment appears to be slower as well. The pandemic also may have a negative impact on our cash receipts as some customers request forbearance or a delay in their payments to us.
 
The pandemic may impact our operations beyond the fourth quarter of 2020, depending on the duration of the pandemic and the timing and success of the reopening of the economy.
 
We have taken significant steps in our efforts to protect our workforce and our clients. Most of our employees have been working remotely and we are implementing plans to reopen our work sites consistent with the guidelines promulgated by the CDC and respective state governments. In addition, the Company received a $3.6 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act. This loan, substantially all of which shall qualify for forgiveness, has been used to principally cover our payroll costs, thereby allowing us to maintain our workforce and continue to provide services and solutions to our clients.
 
Our Business Segments
 
Vaso Corporation (“Vaso”) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1987. We principally operate in three distinct business segments in the healthcare and information technology industries. We manage and evaluate our operations, and report our financial results, through these three business segments.
 
 
20
 
 
IT segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoTechnology, Inc., primarily focuses on healthcare IT and managed network technology services;
 
Professional sales service segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, primarily focuses on the sale of healthcare capital equipment for GEHC into the healthcare provider middle market; and
 
Equipment segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoMedical, Inc., primarily focuses on the design, manufacture, sale and service of proprietary medical devices.
 
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 Note B to the condensed consolidated financial statements and “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, 2019 as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2020.
 
Results of Operations – For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
 
Revenues
 
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $17,534,000 and $18,727,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,193,000, or 6% year-over-year. On a segment basis, revenue in the IT, professional sales service and equipment segments decreased $652,000, $535,000 and $6,000, respectively.
 
Revenue in the IT segment for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $10,833,000 compared to $11,485,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $652,000, or 6%, of which $414,000 resulted from a decrease in the operations of the healthcare IT VAR business and $238,000 resulted from lower NetWolves revenue. Our monthly recurring revenue in the IT segment accounted for $10,183,000 or 94% of the segment revenue in the third quarter of 2020, and $10,524,000 or 92% of the segment revenue for the same quarter last year (see Note C).
 
Commission revenues in the professional sales service segment were $5,801,000 in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 8%, as compared to $6,336,000 in the same quarter of 2019. The decrease in commission revenues was due primarily to a decrease in the volume of underlying equipment delivered by GEHC during the period. The Company only recognizes commission revenue when the underlying equipment has been accepted at the customer site in accordance with the specific terms of the sales agreement. Consequently, amounts billable, or billed and received, under the agreement with GE Healthcare prior to customer acceptance of the equipment are recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2020, $16,634,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $7,250,000 was long-term. At September 30, 2019, $17,069,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $6,376,000 was long-term. The decrease in deferred revenue is principally due to a decrease in new orders booked. We anticipate that revenue will increase in the fourth quarter of 2020 as deliveries increase.
 
 
21
 
 
Revenue in the equipment segment decreased by $6,000, or 0.7%, to $900,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $906,000 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was principally due to lower sales of EECP® equipment as a result of the sale of equity in the EECP business.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $9,879,000, or 56% of revenue, and $10,841,000, or 58% of revenue, respectively, representing a decrease of $962,000, or 9% year-over-year. On a segment basis, gross profit in the equipment segment increased $113,000, or 20%, while gross profit in the IT and professional sales service segments decreased $588,000, or 12%, and $487,000, or 9%, respectively.
 
IT segment gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $4,483,000, or 41% of the segment revenue, compared to $5,071,000, or 44% of the segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The year-over-year decrease of $588,000, or 12%, was primarily a result of lower margin product sales mix of network and managed services and lower sales volume in the IT VAR business.
 
Professional sales service segment gross profit was $4,709,000, or 81% of segment revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $5,196,000, or 82% of the segment revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, reflecting a decrease of $487,000, or 9%. The decrease in absolute dollars was primarily due to lower commission revenue as a result of lower volume of GEHC equipment delivered during the third quarter of 2020 than in the same period last year. Cost of commissions in the professional sales service segment of $1,092,000 and $1,140,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, reflected commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues.
 
Commission expense associated with short-term deferred revenue is recorded as short-term deferred commission expense, or with long-term deferred revenue as part of other assets, on the balance sheet until the related commission revenue is recognized.
 
Equipment segment gross profit increased to $687,000, or 76% of segment revenues, for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $574,000, or 63% of segment revenues, for the same quarter of 2019. The $113,000, or 20%, increase in gross profit was the result of an increase in gross profit margin due to a higher proportion of high margin products in the sales mix when lower margin EECP equipment sales were no longer included in the financial statements for the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $1,254,000 and $805,000, respectively, representing an increase of $449,000, or 56%, as operating costs (below) decreased much more than gross profit did, year-over-year. On a segment basis, operating income in the professional sales service and equipment segments increased by $133,000 and $424,000, respectively, while operating income in the IT segment decreased by $110,000.
 
Operating income in the IT segment decreased to $159,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to operating income of $269,000 in the same period of 2019, due to lower gross profit partially offset by lower selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) costs. Operating income in the professional sales service segment increased $133,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to operating income in the same period of 2019, due to lower SG&A costs partially offset by lower gross profit. The equipment segment reported operating income of $142,000 in the third quarter of 2020, compared to an operating loss of $282,000 in the third quarter 2019, an improvement of $424,000. The improvement was due to a combination of higher gross profit and lower SG&A and R&D costs.
 
 
22
 
 
SG&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $8,451,000 and $9,840,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,389,000, or 14% year-over-year. On a segment basis, SG&A costs in the IT segment decreased by $492,000 in the third quarter of 2020 from the same quarter of the prior year due to reduced personnel costs; SG&A costs in the professional sales service segment decreased $622,000 due mainly to lower travel costs; and SG&A costs in the equipment segment decreased $273,000 due mainly to lower personnel costs. Corporate costs not allocated to segments decreased by $2,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 from the same period in 2019.
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $174,000, or 1% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $22,000, or 11%, from $196,000, or 1% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower product development expenses and a reduction in technical staff in the equipment segment.
 
Adjusted EBITDA
 
We define Adjusted EBITDA (earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss), plus interest expense (income), net; tax expense; depreciation and amortization; and non-cash expenses for share-based compensation.  Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is used by the investment community for comparative and valuation purposes. We disclose this metric in order to support and facilitate the dialogue with research analysts and investors.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $370,000, to $1,915,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2020 from $1,545,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase was attributable to the increase in net income, partially offset primarily by the decrease in interest expense.
 
Interest and Other Income (Expense)
 
Interest and other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $(97,000) as compared to $(232,000) for the corresponding period of 2019. The decrease in interest and other income (expense) was due primarily to lower interest expense due to principal payments against the line of credit and other notes payable.

Income Tax Expense
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, we recorded income tax expense of $11,000 for applicable state taxes.
 
Net Income
 
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,146,000 as compared to $562,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing an improvement of $584,000, or 104%. Earnings per share of $0.01 and $0.00 was recorded in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The principal cause of the increase in net income is the increase in equipment segment and professional sales service segment operating income due primarily to lower SG&A costs.
 
Results of Operations – For the Nine months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
 
Revenues
 
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $51,159,000 and $51,794,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $635,000, or 1% year-over-year. On a segment basis, revenue in the professional sales service segment increased $806,000, while revenue in the IT and equipment segments decreased $1,223,000 and $218,000, respectively.
 
Revenue in the IT segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $32,994,000 compared to $34,217,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $1,223,000, or 4%, as a result of a $1,007,000 decrease in healthcare IT VAR revenues and a $216,000 revenue decrease in our NetWolves operation.
 
Commission revenues in the professional sales service segment were $15,688,000 in the first nine months of 2020, an increase of 5%, as compared to $14,882,000 in the first nine months of 2019. The increase in commission revenues was due primarily to an increase in the volume of underlying equipment delivered by GEHC during the period. We expect deliveries and revenue to improve through the remainder of 2020. The Company recognizes commission revenue when the underlying equipment has been accepted at the customer site in accordance with the specific terms of the sales agreement. Consequently, amounts billable, or billed and received, under the agreement with GE Healthcare prior to customer acceptance of the equipment are recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
 
Revenue in the equipment segment decreased by $218,000, or 8%, to $2,477,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $2,695,000 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was principally due to a decrease in EECP® revenues as a result of the sale of equity in the EECP® business, partially offset by increased sales in our China operations.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $27,495,000, or 54% of revenue, and $28,139,000, or 54% of revenue, respectively, representing a decrease of $644,000, or 2% year-over-year. On a segment basis, gross profit in the professional sales service and equipment segments increased $524,000 and $76,000, respectively, while gross profit in the IT segment decreased $1,244,000.
 
IT segment gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $13,182,000, or 40% of the segment revenue, compared to $14,426,000, or 42% of the segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, with decreases of $693,000 and $551,000 from the IT VAR and NetWolves businesses, respectively, as a result of lower sales and lower margin product mix.
 
Professional sales service segment gross profit was $12,626,000, or 80% of segment revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $12,102,000, or 81% of the segment revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, reflecting an increase of $524,000, or 4%. The increase in absolute dollars was due to higher commission revenue primarily as a result of higher volume of GEHC equipment delivered during the first nine months of 2020 than in the same period last year, offset by higher commission expense in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.
 
 
24
 
 
Cost of commissions in the professional sales service segment of $3,062,000 and $2,780,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, reflected 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 recognized.
 
Equipment segment gross profit increased to $1,687,000, or 68% of segment revenues, for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $1,611,000, or 60% of segment revenues, for the same period of 2019, due to higher margin product mix, partially offset by lower sales volume, in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the same period of 2019.
 
Operating Loss
 
Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $530,000 and $2,369,000, respectively, representing an improvement of $1,839,000, primarily due to lower operating costs partially offset by lower gross profit. On a segment basis, operating loss increased by $614,000 in the IT segment and decreased by $808,000 in the equipment segment. Operating income in the professional sales service segment increased by $1,525,000 to $1,038,000 in the first nine months of 2020 from an operating loss of $487,000 in the same period of 2019.
 
Operating loss in the IT segment increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019 due to lower gross profit and higher research and development costs, partially offset by lower SG&A costs. Operating income in the professional sales service segment increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019 due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A costs. Operating loss in the equipment segment decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019 due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A and R&D costs.
 
SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $27,486,000 and $29,884,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $2,398,000, or 8% year-over-year. On a segment basis, SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased in the IT segment by $669,000 to $13,816,000, from $14,485,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to decreased personnel, travel and marketing costs, and decreased in the professional sales service segment by $1,002,000 to $11,586,000, from $12,588,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due to lower personnel and travel costs. SG&A costs in the equipment segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $607,000 to $1,436,000, from $2,043,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to lower personnel and travel costs. Corporate costs not allocated to segments decreased in the same period by $120,000 to $647,000 from $767,000, due primarily to lower accounting and legal fees.
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $539,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of $85,000, or 14%, from $624,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower product development expenses and staff reductions in the equipment segment.

Adjusted EBITDA improved by $1,691,000, to $1,561,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $(130,000) in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The improvement was primarily attributable to lower net loss, partially offset by lower interest costs.
 
Interest and Other Income (Expense)
 
Interest and other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $(385,000) as compared to $(619,000) for the corresponding period of 2019. The decrease was due primarily to the $110,000 gain on sale of equity in the EECP business and lower interest costs due to principal payments against the line of credit and Medtech notes payable.
 
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded income tax benefit of $97,000 as compared to income tax expense of $(49,000) for the corresponding period of 2019. The change arose mainly from the release of deferred foreign tax liabilities.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $818,000 compared to net loss of $3,037,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease in net loss of $2,219,000. Our net loss per share was $0.00 and $0.02 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The principal causes of the decrease in net loss is the increase in operating income in the professional sales service segment and decrease in operating loss in the equipment segment, partially offset by the increase in operating loss in the IT segment.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Cash Flow
 
We have financed our operations from working capital. At September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,865,000 and negative working capital of $12,952,000, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,124,000 and negative working capital of $7,469,000 at December 31, 2019. $7,392,000 in negative working capital at September 30, 2020 is attributable to the net balance of deferred commission expense and deferred revenue. These are non-cash expense and revenue items and have no impact on future cash flows.
 
 
26
 
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $4,734,000, which consisted of net loss after adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash of $1,320,000 and cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $3,414,000, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to cash used in operating activities of $2,050,000 for the same period in 2019. The changes in the account balances primarily reflect a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $8,615,000, offset by decreases in accounts payable, accrued commissions, and deferred revenue of $2,307,000, $1,171,000, and $1,923,000, respectively.
 
Cash provided by investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 was $515,000 of which $1,150,000 was provided by the sale of equity in the EECP business, offset by $635,000 used for the purchase of equipment and software.
 
Cash used in financing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 was $465,000 primarily as a result of repayments of lines of credit, notes payable, and finance leases aggregating $4,218,000, partially offset by $3,754,000 in proceeds from notes payable.
 
Liquidity
 
The Company expects to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.
 
It is anticipated that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to adversely impact our operations during and beyond the remaining quarter of 2020, depending on the duration of the pandemic and the timing and success of the reopening of the economy.
