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 (national channel partner of GEHC Digital and other vendors of healthcare IT products).
Managed network infrastructure (routers, switches and other core equipment).
Managed network transport (FCC licensed carrier reselling 175+ facility partners).
Managed security services.
 
VasoTechnology uses a combination of proprietary technology, methodology and third-party applications to deliver its value proposition.
 
VasoHealthcare
 
VasoHealthcare commenced operations in 2010, in conjunction with the Company’s execution of its exclusive sales representation agreement (“GEHC Agreement”) with GEHC, which is the healthcare business division of the General Electric Company, to further the sale of certain healthcare capital equipment in the healthcare provider middle market. Sales of GEHC equipment by the Company have grown significantly since then.
 
VasoHealthcare’s current offerings consist of:
 
GEHC diagnostic imaging capital equipment.
GEHC service agreements for the above equipment.
GEHC training services for use of the above equipment.
GEHC and third party financial services.

VasoMedical
 
VasoMedical is the Company’s business division for its proprietary medical device operations, including the design, development, manufacturing, sales and service of various medical devices in the domestic and international markets and includes the Vasomedical Global and Vasomedical Solutions business units. These devices are primarily for cardiovascular monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic systems. Its current offerings consist of:
 
Biox™ series Holter monitors and ambulatory blood pressure recorders.
ARCS® series analysis, reporting and communication software for physiological signals such as ECG and blood pressure.
MobiCare™ multi-parameter wireless vital-sign monitoring system.
EECP® therapy system for non-invasive, outpatient treatment of ischemic heart disease.
 
This segment uses its extensive cardiovascular device knowledge coupled with its significant engineering resources to cost-effectively create and market its proprietary technology. It works with a global distribution network of channel partners to sell its products. It also provides engineering and OEM services to other medical device companies.
 
Going concern Assessment
 
We have incurred net losses from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. We maintain lines of credit from a lending institution which will require further extensions after their current December 18, 2019 maturity date. We also have notes payable which mature within the next twelve months. Our ability to continue operating as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitability, extending the maturity date of our existing lines of credit and notes payable, or through additional debt or equity financing. Achieving profitability is largely dependent on our ability to reduce operating costs and to maintain or increase our current revenue. While we believe we will continue to maintain or increase our gross revenue and are substantially reducing operating costs, and while historically we have received extensions of the maturity dates of our lines of credit, failure to achieve these objectives could cast doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
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, 2018, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019.
 
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.

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 $689,000 and $344,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 $16,638,000 and $17,098,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 $2,169,000 and $2,315,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 $938,000 and $988,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and are classified in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either current or long-term deferred revenue.
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized approximately $2.2 million and $3.2 million of revenues that were included in our contract liability balance at April 1, 2019 and January 1, 2019, 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
Professional sales service segment
Equipment segment
 
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:

GE Healthcare accounted for 29% and 37% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 26% and 33% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. GE Healthcare also accounted for $4.2 million or 46%, and $7.2 million or 66%, of accounts and other receivables at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
 
NOTE E – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic loss per common share is computed as loss applicable to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common stock.
 
The following table represents common stock equivalents that were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

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 obligations performed, or 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.

The Company maintains an additional $2.0 million line of credit with a lending institution. In June 2019, the line’s expiration date was extended from June 28, 2019 to December 18, 2019, and the interest rate was increased 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 3.25%. Advances under the line are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. At June 30, 2019, the Company had drawn approximately $1.9 million against the line. The line of credit agreement includes certain financial covenants that become effective beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
 
In March 2019, the Company’s Biox subsidiary drew RMB500,000 (approximately $75,000) from a line of credit with a Chinese bank for working capital purposes. The advance, which bore interest at 9.2%, was fully repaid in April 2019.
 
In November and December 2018, the Company issued unsecured notes aggregating $500,000 to certain directors. The notes bore interest at 10% per annum and matured on March 25, 2019. Principal and interest on these notes were paid in full upon maturity.

NOTE N – LEASES
 
ASC 842, “Leases”, requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at either the effective date (the “effective date method”) or the beginning of the earliest period presented (the “comparative method”) using a modified retrospective approach. Under the effective date method, the Company’s comparative period reporting is unchanged. In contrast, under the comparative method, the Company’s date of initial application is the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, and the Topic 842 transition guidance is then applied to all comparative periods presented. Further, under either transition method, the standard includes certain practical expedients intended to ease the burden of adoption. The Company adopted ASC 842 January 1, 2019 using the effective date method and elected certain practical expedients allowing the Company not to reassess:
 
whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease;
lease classification for expired or existing leases; and
whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842.
 
The Company also made the accounting policy decision not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.
 
The Company enters into finance leases, typically with terms of 3 to 5 years, to acquire equipment for its data center. The Company enters into operating leases for its facilities in New York, Florida, and China, as well as for vehicles provided to certain employees in the sales representation segment. The operating lease terms range from 2 to 7 years. The Company excluded the renewal option on its applicable facility leases from the calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

NOTE O – EQUITY
 
In June 2019, 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock, valued at $100,000, under the 2019 Stock Plan were granted and issued to an officer of the Company as stock-based compensation. 1,000,000 shares vested immediately with the remainder vesting 25% per year over the ensuing four-year period. The grant was valued at the fair value, using market price, of the stock at the grant date, and the Company recognized $20,000 in compensation expense related to such grant in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
 
NOTE P – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company recorded interest charges aggregating approximately $221,000 and $217,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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, if necessary, 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 is paid on or before December 31, 2019 and the annual interest rate for the balance increases to 10% during the extension. 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 $113,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2019 and paid on July 1, 2019. The entire outstanding balance of the MedTech Notes is included as current liabilities.
 
David Lieberman, the Vice Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is a practicing attorney in the State of New York and a senior partner at the law firm of Beckman, Lieberman & Barandes, LLP, which performs certain legal services for the Company. Fees of approximately $70,000 and $85,000 were billed by the firm for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and fees of approximately $155,000 and $170,000 were billed by the firm for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. $12,500 and $0 was outstanding at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
 
NOTE Q – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation
 
The Company is currently, and has been in the past, a party to various legal proceedings, primarily employee related matters, incident to its business.

General Overview
 
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.
 
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 C 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, 2018 as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019.

Results of Operations – For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
 
Revenues
 
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $17,543,000 and $18,418,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $875,000, or 5% year-over-year. On a segment basis, revenue in the IT, and equipment segments increased $701,000 and $96,000, respectively, while revenue in the professional sales services segment decreased $1,672,000.
 
Revenue in the IT segment for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $11,405,000 compared to $10,704,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $701,000, or 7%, of which $870,000 resulted from higher healthcare IT VAR revenues, offset by $169,000 from lower NetWolves revenues. Our monthly recurring revenue in the managed network services operations continues to grow month over month as we add new customers and expand our services to existing customers; at the same time, the backlog of orders in our healthcare IT operations increased to $12.7 million at June 30, 2019 from $12.4 million at June 30, 2018, as a result of growth in orders and clients.
 
Commission revenues in the professional sales services segment were $5,131,000 in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 25%, as compared to $6,803,000 in the same quarter of 2018. The decrease in commission revenues was due primarily to a decrease in the volume of equipment delivered by GEHC during the period, as well as to a lower blended commission rate. 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 June 30, 2019, $16,638,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $5,424,000 was long-term. At June 30, 2018, $19,275,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $6,221,000 was long-term. The decrease in deferred revenue is principally due to a decrease in orders booked, partially offset by a decrease in deliveries by GEHC. We anticipate that revenue will increase in the remaining quarters of 2019 as deliveries increase.
 
Revenue in the equipment segment increased by $96,000, or 11%, to $1,007,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 from $911,000 for the same period of the prior year. The increase was principally due to higher sales of Biox ambulatory patient monitors and ARCS software during the quarter.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $9,411,000, or 54% of revenue, and $10,437,000, or 57% of revenue, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,026,000, or 10% period-over-period.
 
IT segment gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $4,628,000, or 41% of the segment revenue, compared to $4,475,000, or 42% of the segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The period-over-period increase of $153,000, or 3%, was primarily a result of higher IT VAR revenues.
 
Professional sales services segment gross profit was $4,221,000, or 82% of segment revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $5,423,000, or 80% of the segment revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, reflecting a decrease of $1,202,000, or 22%. The decrease in absolute dollars was primarily due to lower commission revenue as a result of lower volume of GEHC equipment delivered during the second quarter of 2019 than in the same period last year, as well as to lower blended commission rates. Cost of commissions in the professional sales service segment of $910,000 and $1,380,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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.
 
 
24
 
 
Equipment segment gross profit increased to $562,000, or 56% of segment revenues, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $539,000, or 59% of segment revenues, for the same quarter of 2018. The $23,000, or 4%, increase in gross profit was due to higher sales volume, compared to the second quarter 2018.
 
Operating Loss
 
Operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $520,000 and $263,000, respectively, representing an increase of $257,000, due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower operating costs (defined below).
 
Operating loss in the IT segment decreased $613,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018 due to lower selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) costs and higher gross profit. Operating income in the professional sales service segment decreased $1,037,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to operating income in the same period of 2018 due to lower gross profit partially offset by lower SG&A costs. The decrease in equipment segment operating loss was $121,000 in the second quarter of 2019, due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A expenses. During the second quarter of 2019, corporate expenses decreased $46,000 when compared to the same quarter of 2018.
 
SG&A costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $20,044,000 and $21,996,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,952,000, or 9% year-over-year. On a segment basis, SG&A costs in the professional sales service segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $1,045,000 to $8,421,000, from $9,466,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due to reduced personnel-related and national sales meeting costs, and in the IT segment by $773,000 to $9,767,000, from $10,540,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to lower personnel costs at both NetWolves and the IT VAR business. SG&A costs in the equipment segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $51,000 to $1,299,000, from $1,350,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to lower amortization costs, and corporate costs not allocated to segments decreased in the same periods by $83,000 from $640,000, due primarily to lower legal and director fees.
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $228,000, or 1% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $24,000, or 10%, from $252,000, or 1% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower software development expenses in the equipment segment.
 
Interest and Other (Expense) Income
 
Interest and other (expense) income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $(203,000) as compared to $(146,000) for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in expense was due primarily to higher interest expense on the lines of credit.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $27,000 as compared to $37,000 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease arose mainly from lower foreign taxes.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $750,000 as compared to a net loss of $446,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, representing an increase of $304,000. Our net loss per share was $0.00 in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The principal cause of the increase in net loss is the decrease in operating income in the sales representation segment and the increase in interest and other expense. The Company historically reports a loss in the second quarter of the year.
 
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 decreased by $228,000, to $228,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2019 from $456,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to the higher net loss and the lower share-based compensation and income tax expense.
 
Results of Operations – For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
 
Revenues
 
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $33,067,000 and $35,955,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $2,888,000, or 8% year-over-year. On a segment basis, revenue in the IT segment increased $615,000, while revenues in the professional sales service and equipment segments decreased $3,468,000 and $35,000, respectively.
 
Revenue in the IT segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $22,732,000 compared to $22,117,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $615,000, of which $876,000 resulted from an increase in the healthcare IT VAR business, offset by a $261,000 decrease in revenues at NetWolves. Our monthly recurring revenue in the managed network services operations continues to grow month over month as we add new customers and expand our services to existing customers; at the same time, the backlog of orders in our IT VAR operations increased to $12.7 million at June 30, 2019 from $12.4 million at June 30, 2018, due to growth in orders and clients. We anticipate that as our IT VAR operations become more developed and the service delivery process accelerated, the backlog will convert to revenue in a more timely fashion and, coupled with continued growth in order volume, profitability will improve in this segment.

Commission revenues in the professional sales service segment were $8,546,000 in the first half of 2019, a decrease of 29%, as compared to $12,014,000 in the first half of 2018. The decrease in commission revenues was due primarily to a decrease in the volume of underlying equipment delivered by GEHC during the period. Deliveries of equipment sold by us are typically lower in the first half of each year than in the second half of the year, with the strongest in the fourth quarter of each year. Therefore, we expect deliveries and revenue to improve through the remainder of 2019. 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. As of June 30, 2019, $16,638,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $5,424,000 was long-term.
 
Revenue in the equipment segment decreased by $35,000, or 2%, to $1,789,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 from $1,824,000 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was principally due to a decrease in Biox ambulatory monitor and ARCS software revenues as a result of lower sales volume, partially offset by higher EECP service revenues.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $17,298,000, or 52% of revenue, and $20,058,000, or 56% of revenue, respectively, representing a decrease of $2,760,000, or 14% year-over-year. On a segment basis, gross profit in the IT, professional sales service, and equipment segments decreased $35,000, $2,670,000, and $55,000, respectively.
 
IT segment gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $9,354,000, or 41% of the segment revenue, compared to $9,389,000, or 42% of the segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Gross profit at NetWolves decreased $323,000 due mainly to lower lower revenues, offset by $288,000 higher gross profit in the IT VAR business resulting from higher revenue partially offset by lower gross profit rate.
 
Professional sales service segment gross profit was $6,906,000, or 82% of segment revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $9,576,000, or 80% of the segment revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, reflecting a decrease of $2,670,000, or 28%. The decrease in absolute dollars was due to lower commission revenue as a result of lower volume of GEHC equipment delivered during the first half of 2019 than in the same period last year, offset by lower commission expense in the first half of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.
 
Cost of commissions in the professional sales service segment of $1,640,000 and $2,438,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 decreased to $1,038,000, or 58% of segment revenues, for the first half of 2019 compared to $1,093,000, or 60% of segment revenues, for the same period of 2018, due to lower margin product mix in the first half of 2019, compared to the first half of 2018.
 
Operating Loss
 
Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $3,174,000 and $2,376,000, respectively, representing an increase of $798,000, primarily due to lower gross profit partially offset by lower operating costs. On a segment basis, operating loss decreased $705,000 and $40,000 in the IT and equipment segments, respectively. Operating loss in the professional sales service segment was $1,516,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to operating income of $110,000 in the comparable period of 2018. In addition, corporate expenses decreased $83,000.
 
Operating loss in the IT segment decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018 due primarily to lower SG&A costs. Operating loss in the professional sales service segment in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 resulted primarily from lower gross profit, partially offset by lower SG&A costs. Operating loss in the equipment segment decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018 due primarily to lower SG&A costs, partially offset by lower gross profit.
 
 
27
 
 
SG&A costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $20,044,000 and $21,996,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,952,000, or 9% year-over-year. On a segment basis, SG&A costs in the professional sales service segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $1,045,000 to $8,421,000, from $9,466,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due to reduced personnel-related and national sales meeting costs, and in the IT segment by $773,000 to $9,767,000, from $10,540,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to lower personnel costs at both NetWolves and the IT VAR business. SG&A costs in the equipment segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $51,000 to $1,299,000, from $1,350,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to lower amortization costs, and corporate costs not allocated to segments decreased in the same periods by $83,000 from $640,000, due primarily to lower legal and director fees.
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $428,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first half of 2019, a decrease of $10,000, or 2%, from $438,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first half of 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower software development expenses in the equipment segment.
 
Interest and Other Income (Expense)
 
Interest and other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $(387,000) as compared to $(82,000) for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease was due primarily to the $212,000 gain on sale of VSK recognized in the first half of 2018, partially offset by higher interest expense due to increased borrowings under our credit line.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $38,000 as compared to income tax expense of $57,000 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease arose mainly from lower foreign taxes.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3,599,000 compared to net loss of $2,515,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing an increase in net loss of $1,084,000. Our net loss per share was $0.02 in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The principal causes of the increase in net loss is the operating loss in the professional sales service segment and the prior year gain on sale of investment in VSK.
 
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.

The increase was primarily attributable to the higher net loss, partially offset by higher interest expense and higher depreciation and amortization.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Cash Flow
 
We have financed our operations primarily from working capital and draws on our line of credit. At June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,037,000 and negative working capital of $21,443,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,668,000 and negative working capital of $16,179,000 at December 31, 2018. $9,101,000 in negative working capital at June 30, 2019 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.
 
Cash used in operating activities was $2,362,000, which consisted of net loss after adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash of $1,974,000 and cash used by operating assets and liabilities of $388,000, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to cash used by operating activities of $2,156,000 for the same period in 2018. The changes in the account balances primarily reflect a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $1,720,000, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued commission of $1,015,000 and $1,179,000, respectively.
 
Cash used in investing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $714,000 for the purchase of equipment and software.
 
Cash provided by financing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $1,387,000 primarily as a result of $1,112,000 in net borrowings on revolving lines of credit and $410,000 in net proceeds from notes issued to related parties, partially offset by $133,000 in payments of notes payable and finance leases issued for equipment purchases.
 
Liquidity
 
We have incurred net losses from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. We maintain lines of credit from a lending institution which will require further extensions after their current December 18, 2019 maturity date, as will notes payable which mature within the next twelve months. Our ability to continue operating as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitability, extending the maturity date of our existing lines of credit and notes payable, or through additional debt or equity financing. Achieving profitability is largely dependent on our ability to reduce operating costs and to maintain or increase our current revenue. While we believe we will continue to maintain or increase our gross revenue and are substantially reducing operating costs, and while historically we have received extensions of the maturity dates of our lines of credit, failure to achieve these objectives could cast doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern.
