Vaso Corporation Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2019

PLAINVIEW, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2019 / Vaso Corporation (“Vaso”) (OTC PINK:VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

“The Company’s total revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $17.5 million, a 5% decrease when compared to revenue for the same quarter of 2018, resulting from a lower volume of equipment delivery during the quarter by our partner in our professional sales service segment. Our IT and equipment segments, on the other hand, enjoyed year-over-year quarterly revenue growths of 7% and 11%, respectively. We remain optimistic about continued growth in the IT and equipment segments and improved deliveries of underlying equipment in the professional sales service segment in the third and fourth quarters of 2019,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and CEO of the Company.

“The cost cutting effort we initiated at the end of 2018 has yielded a substantial decrease in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs, by 9%, in the first half of 2019 when compared to the first half of 2018. We also are implementing additional measures to further integrate and streamline operations to improve performance and efficiency. While it takes time for these measures to fully reveal the intended outcomes, we believe the Company will demonstrate substantially improved financial results by year end,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, revenue decreased by 5% to $17.5 million from $18.4 million for the same period of 2018, resulting from a decrease of $1.7 million in our professional sales service segment revenue, mainly due to lower equipment deliveries by our partner. We expect that deliveries of equipment will improve over the remainder of 2019. Quarterly revenue in our IT and equipment segments increased year-over-year, by $701,000 or 7% and $96,000 or 11%, respectively.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 decreased 10% to $9.4 million, compared with a gross profit of $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. This decrease is primarily the result of the decrease in revenue as discussed above, compounded by a lower gross profit margin in the quarter compared to a year ago.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2019 decreased 7% to $9.7 million compared to $10.4 million for the same quarter of 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in personnel and other costs in the professional sales service and IT segments, resulting from the cost reduction program the Company initiated in the fourth quarter 2018. We anticipate these costs reduction initiatives will result in significant cost savings for the full year 2019.

Research and development costs decreased 10% to $228 thousand in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, due to lower software development costs in the equipment segment.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $750 thousand, compared to a net loss of $446 thousand for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in the loss is principally due to the decrease in revenue in the professional sales service segment. We expect an improvement in performance for the remainder of 2019, as we anticipate an increase in equipment deliveries in the professional sales service segment and improved operating results as an effect of our cost reduction initiatives.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in operations of $2.2 million for the same period in 2018. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 was $1.0 million, compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2018.

Total deferred revenue remains substantial, at approximately $17.6 million as of June 30, 2019, which will be recognized in the future when the underlying equipment or services are delivered and accepted at the customer site. Our shareholders’ equity decreased to $2.2 million as of June 30, 2019 from $5.6 million as of December 31, 2018.

We have incurred net losses from operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We maintain lines of credit from a lending institution which will require further extensions after their current December 18, 2019 maturity date; as well as other notes payable that mature within twelve months from June 30, 2019. 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.
