Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy. Your shares may be voted under certain circumstances if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm.  Under current rules of the New York Stock Exchange to which its members are subject, brokerage firms holding shares of common stock in “street name” may vote, in their discretion, on behalf of their clients if such clients have not furnished voting instructions with respect to ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, but not with respect to the election of directors or any of the other proposals. Such voted shares are counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum.  A broker non-vote occurs when a broker cannot exercise discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?

Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you attend the meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by mail. Proxies submitted that contain abstentions or broker non-votes will be deemed present at our meeting. In order for us to conduct our meeting, a majority of the combined voting powershares of our outstanding common stock as of the close of business on September 23, 2011,May 17, 2013, must be present at the meeting.

What vote is required to approve each item?

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.  This means that the nominee for a slot with the most votes, or, if there are two or more nominees for a class, the two or threemore nominees, as the case may be, with the most votes for a particular class, will be elected to fill the available slot(s) for that class. Shares that are not voted, either because you marked your proxy card to withhold authority to vote for one or more nominees or because they are broker non-votes, will have no impact on the election of directors.

The ratification of the appointment of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on the proposal (whether in person or by proxy) by holders entitled to vote on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present at the meeting.  An abstention will be counted as a vote against that proposal and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast with respect to that matter, and consequently, will have no effect on the votes on that matter.

The approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation and the approval of the advisory vote on the frequency for voting on executive compensation require the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on the proposal (whether in person or by proxy) by holders entitled to vote on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present at the meeting.  An abstention will be counted as a vote against that proposal and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast with respect to that matter, and consequently, will have no effect on the votes on that matter.

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 principal stockholder who owns stock 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 committee but in no event shall exceed ten 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.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The compensation of our executive officers is generally determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board, subject to applicable employment agreements. Each member of the Compensation Committee is a director who is not our employee. The following report with respect to certain compensation paid or awarded to our executive officers during fiscal 2011the year ended December 31, 2012 is furnished by the directors who comprised the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2011.2012.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Objectives

Our compensation programs are intended to enable us to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent required to achieve corporate objectives, and thereby increase stockholder value.  It is our policy to provide incentives to senior management to achieve both short-term and long-term objectives and to reward exceptional performance and contributions to the development of our business.  To attain these objectives, our executive compensation program generally includes a competitive base salary, bonuses and stock-based compensation.

Section 162(m) of the Federal Income Tax Code

Generally, Section 162(m) denies deduction to any publicly held company for certain compensation exceeding $1,000,000 paid to the chief executive officer and the four other highest paid executive officers, excluding, among other things, certain performance-based compensation.  The Compensation Committee and Board intend that the stock and stock options issued qualify for the performance-based exclusion under Section 162(m).  The Compensation Committee will continually evaluate to what extent Section 162 will apply to its other compensation programs.

PROPOSAL TWO

PROPOSAL FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, recommends that the stockholders ratify the appointment of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. as our Company's independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.2013. We expect representatives of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. to attend the annual meeting.

Our Audit Committee has determined that the provision of services by Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. other than for audit related services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. as our independent accountants. In accordance with the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee approves all audit and non-audit services provided by Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C., as our independent accountants.
15


The proposal will be adopted only if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power in person ortotal votes cast on the proposal by proxy andholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ROTHSTEIN, KASS & COMPANY, P,C. AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

PROPOSAL THREE
 
ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Shareholders have an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on compensation of executives as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say on Pay” proposal, gives shareholders the opportunity to approve, reject or abstain from voting with respect to our fiscal 2012 executive compensation programs and policies and the compensation paid to the named executive officers.
As discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement, the primary objective of our compensation program, including our executive compensation program, is to attract, motivate, reward and retain qualified, energetic management talent to achieve both short-term and long-term corporate objectives and thereby increase shareholder value.
This proposal allows our shareholders to express their opinions regarding the decisions of the Compensation Committee on the prior year’s annual compensation to the named executive officers. Your advisory, non-binding vote will serve as an additional tool to guide the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee in continuing to improve the alignment of the Company’s executive compensation programs with the interests of the Company and its shareholders, and is consistent with our commitment to high standards of corporate governance.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVES AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on this proposal.
Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not affect any compensation already paid or awarded to any named executive officer and will not be binding on or overrule any decisions by the Board of Directors; it will not create or imply any additional fiduciary duty on the part of the Board of Directors, and it will not restrict or limit the ability of shareholders to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation arrangements for our named executive officers.
16


PROPOSAL FOUR
ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF SHAREHOLDER VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
              Shareholders have an opportunity to advise the Board of Directors as to whether the Company should conduct an advisory vote with respect to its executive compensation at every annual, second annual or third annual meeting of shareholders. Shareholders may vote at this Annual Meeting on the frequency with which the Company should conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation. The advisory vote is non-binding, but the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when making future decisions about how often the Company conducts an advisory shareholder vote on its executive compensation.
              Our compensation program is designed and administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed entirely of independent directors and carefully considers many different factors, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, in order to provide appropriate compensation for our executives. While the Board of Directors believes that the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors are in the best position to determine executive compensation, the Board of Directors appreciates and values shareholders’ views. The Board of Directors has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years is the best approach for the Company based on a number of considerations, including the following:
·A three-year cycle will provide investors sufficient time to evaluate the effectiveness of our short- and long-term compensation strategies and the related business outcome of the Company;
·many large shareholders rely on proxy advisory firms for vote recommendations. We believe holding “Say on Pay” votes every three years, rather than annually, helps proxy advisory firms provide more detailed and thorough analyses and recommendations;
·a three-year vote cycle gives the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee sufficient time to thoughtfully respond to shareholders’ sentiments and to implement any necessary changes to our executive compensation policies and procedures;
·the Board of Directors is available to engage in discussions with our shareholders on executive compensation during the period between shareholder votes. 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE TO CONDUCT AN ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS “EVERY THREE YEARS” BEGINNING WITH THE 2013 ANNUAL MEETING.
              Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total votes cast on this Proposal.  Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not be binding on or overrule any decisions by the Board of Directors, will not create or imply any additional fiduciary duty on the part of the Board of Directors, and will not restrict or limit the ability of shareholders to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation arrangements for our named executive officers.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

A copy of our Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended MayDecember 31, 20112012 has been provided to all stockholders as of the Record Date. Stockholders are referred to the report for financial and other information about us, but such report is not incorporated in this proxy statement and is not a part of the proxy soliciting material.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board does not know of any business other than that specified above to come before the meeting, but, if any other business does lawfully come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy to vote in regard thereto in accordance with their judgment.

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form. In addition to solicitation by use of the mails, certain of our officers and regular employees may solicit proxies by telephone or personal interview. We may also request brokerage houses and other custodians and nominees and fiduciaries, to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons, and may make reimbursement for payments made for their expense in forwarding soliciting material to such beneficial owners.
 
15

“Householding” of Proxy Materials
 
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders.  This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.  The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.  Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.  If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares.  We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the annual report or proxy statement, as applicable, to a security holder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.  You can notify us by: sending a written request to Investor Relations, Vasomedical, Inc. 180 Linden Avenue, Westbury, New York 11590; calling us at (516) 997-4600; or emailing us at customerservice@vasomedical.comir@vasomedical.com if (i) you wish to receive a separate copy of an annual report or proxy statement for this meeting; (ii) you would like to receive separate copies of those materials for future meetings; or (iii) you are sharing an address and you wish to request delivery of a single copy of annual reports or proxy statements if you are now receiving multiple copies of annual reports or proxy statements.

Exhibit A
VASOMEDICAL, INC.

CORPORATE CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS

OVERVIEW

It is essential that the highest standards of conduct be observed in all contacts made by Company employees with customers, shareholders, suppliers, governmental officials, fellow employees and the general public. This Corporate Code of Business Ethics represents the Company’s position regarding several important areas of business conduct.  This Code establishes the standards of conduct to be followed by all employees of the Company.

GENERAL POLICY

It is the policy of the Company to comply with all applicable laws, to act fairly, impartially, and in an ethical, proper manner.  The highest standards of conduct are required of our employees and all other persons who act on our behalf, which includes contractors, consultants, etc.  It is Company policy that all persons acting on its behalf comply with the legal requirements of the various countries, economies and regional communities in which the Company does business.  Employees shall conduct the Company’s affairs in accordance with the highest moral and legal standards.  The reputations of the Company and each employee of the Company for unquestioned honesty, integrity and fair dealing are priceless assets.  These are assets that must not be compromised.  Therefore, the guidelines set forth in the following areas apply uniformly to all persons representing each member of the entire Vasomedical, Inc. group of companies.

CODE OF CONDUCT

Vasomedical, Inc.  is committed to promoting integrity and maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct in all of its business activities.  Our business success is dependent on trusting relationships, built on this foundation of integrity.  Our reputation is founded on the personal integrity of the company personnel and our dedication to:

Honesty in communicating within the company and with our suppliers and customers, while at the same time protecting the company’s confidential information and trade secrets.

Error free workmanship in our products and services, leading to quality products and services to our customers.

Responsibility for our words and actions confirms our commitment to do what we say.

Limitless respect for our fellow employees, shareholders, customers and suppliers while showing willingness to solicit their opinions and value their feedback.

Earnest and fair dealings with our fellow employees, shareholders, customers and suppliers through adherence to all applicable laws, regulations and policies, and high standards of behavior.

Yielding to the need for strong relationships with our employees and the communities affected by our businesses.

EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

People are the cornerstone of our business.  Our continued success depends largely on our ability to attract and develop a diverse work force of qualified men and women.  Any employment or personnel practice that is unjust to any of our employees, however inadvertent, ultimately injures all of us.  Integrity, fairness and respect for others are characteristics we accept as inherent in the Vasomedical culture.  We simply cannot afford to deprive ourselves of capable people for reasons based on unlawful or unjust discrimination.  Recognizing our continuing need to hire and develop qualified people, while basing our judgment on their abilities, we reaffirm our commitment to provide meaningful employment opportunities for men and women and, to fully support all principles of equal opportunity in employment.
A-1

Equal Employment Opportunity - it is the policy of Vasomedical to ensure equal treatment for all employees and applicants, regardless of their color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation or mental/physical capacity and to comply voluntarily with the concept and practice of affirmative action.  This policy applies to all company activities including, but not limited to, recruiting, hiring, training, transfers, promotions and benefits.

Non-Harassment and Sexual Harassment – it is company policy to provide a workplace free from tensions involving matters that do not relate to company’s business.  In particular, an atmosphere of tension created by ethnic, racial, sexual or religious remarks, unwelcome sexual advances, or requests for sexual favors, will not be tolerated.  Harassment of employees, applicants, customers, contractors or suppliers by other employees is a violation of company policy.

Employees who observe, learn of, or are subject to harassment, are responsible immediately to report the conduct to their supervisor, manager, human resource representative, or Peter C. Castle, as the Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors, for prompt investigation (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information).  Investigations will be conducted in as discrete and confidential manner as is practicable.

The Company will act promptly and vigorously to take corrective action and appropriate discipline with respect to any harassment or retaliation.
Retaliation against individuals who report such violations of company policy, or against those who provide information in an investigation of such violations, is a violation of company policy.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Each of the Company’s facilities will function as an integral part of the country, economy and regional community in which it conducts the Company’s business operations.  Employees are encouraged to participate in community activities as concerned and responsible citizens.  Both the Company and its employees benefit from any activity that improves the health, well-being, education and culture of the community.  Together, they have a responsibility to support and share in the development of social and civic activities designed to improve the quality of life in each such community.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

Vasomedical, Inc. is firmly committed to conducting its business in compliance with all applicable environmental and workplace laws and regulations in a manner that has the highest regard for the safety and well being of employees and the general public.  Therefore, Vasomedical expects all employees to do their utmost to abide by the letter and spirit of these laws and regulations.  The Company will comply with applicable laws and regulations.  The Company’s environmental concerns include the health and aesthetic needs of communities’ citizens.  The Company will participate in the development of standards designed to conserve the quality of the environment.  The exercise of personal discretion or judgment in this area is not acceptable.


A-2



SAFETY

The protection of the health of its employees and their safety from injury are fundamental objectives of the Company.  These are moral responsibilities of each employee as well and the Company recognizes their importance to the success of the business.  Therefore, the Company’s goal is to be a leader in safety and health in its industry. The Company will also provide its customers with products that meet high standards of safety and reliability.  Accordingly, employees will strive to minimize the potential risk of injury or illness to others from goods and services furnished by the Company.  A Company goal is to maintain a position of industry leadership in meeting these standards.

In order to protect the safety and well being of all employees, each of us must report to work free from the influence of any substance that could prevent us from conducting work activities safely and effectively.
QUALITY

Vasomedical is committed to being a worldwide leader in quality for every product it provides in every market it serves.  The Company is dedicated to continued improvement in its overall quality performance in every facet of its operations.  The Company’s goal is to conform consistently to its customers’ expectations regarding its products and services.  To maintain Vasomedical’s valuable reputation, compliance with our quality processes is essential.  We damage our good name when we ship products or deliver services that fail to live up to Vasomedical standards.

CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

Employees should conduct all of the business affairs of the Company at arm’s length without consideration of personal advantage or self-interest.  It is contrary to Company policy for employees to accept or furnish gifts, favors or entertainment of a size or nature which might influence or raise doubts as to the impartiality of the recipient.  Any questionable conduct or appearance thereof must be avoided in dealing with customers, suppliers or others doing or seeking to do business with Vasomedical, Inc.

We must protect customer information that is sensitive, private or confidential just as carefully as our own.  Only those who have a need to know should have access to confidential information.

We must take special care to comply with all legal and contractual obligations in dealing with governments.  National and local governments all around the world have specific and varied procurement laws and regulations that have been established to protect the pubic interest.  Many other laws strictly govern accounting and billing practices applied to the fulfillment of government contractors and subcontractors.  Vasomedical employees who deal with government officials and contracts are responsible for knowing and complying with applicable laws and regulations.

COMPETITORS

Collecting information on our competitors from legitimate sources to evaluate the relative merits of their products, services and marketing methods is proper and often necessary.  However, there are limits to the ways information should be acquired.  Practices such as industrial espionage and stealing are obviously wrong.  But so is seeking confidential information from a new employee who recently worked for a competitor, or misrepresenting your identity in the hopes of getting confidential information from a competitor.
A-3

Vasomedical  is firmly committed to compliance with both the letter and spirit of the antitrust laws wherever they are in force.  Any form of questionable intelligence gathering is strictly against the provisions of this Code.  By strengthening the free market system, these laws have permitted Vasomedical, Inc.  to grow and prosper.  Accordingly, the Company’s employees will compete vigorously with its competitors at all times.

ANTI-TRUST AND RESTRICTIVE TRADE PRACTICES

The anti-trust laws of the United States prohibit certain anti-competitive activities.  These include agreements or understandings among competitors to fix or control prices; to boycott specified suppliers or customers; to allocate territories or markets; or to limit the production or sale of products or product lines.  Employees shall not engage in such activities and shall report any instance in which such activities were proposed or discussed to the Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information).

Employees shall not engage directly or indirectly in any restrictive international trade practice (i.e., a boycott of a supplier or customer).  Employees shall report the receipt of any request to engage in such activities to the Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information).

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Vasomedical believes its confidential proprietary information is an important asset in the operation of its business and prohibits the unauthorized use or disclosure of this information.  Employees shall not disclose directly or indirectly any confidential information acquired in the course of employment, nor shall employees use such information to further any personal interest or to the Company’s disadvantage.  This includes trading or providing information to others to permit them to trade in securities of the Company or other companies while in possession of material non-public information about those securities.

Vasomedical respects the property rights of other companies to their proprietary information and requires its employees to fully comply with both the spirit and the letter of U.S. and foreign laws and regulations protecting such rights.  Vasomedical’s success is dependent upon the strict adherence by employees to this portion of the Code and all applicable standards and procedures.

DISCLOSURE OF COMPANY INFORMATION

Information is the lifeblood of any company.  Open and effective dissemination of this information is critical to our success.  However, much of the information concerning Vasomedical’s business activities is confidential.  The disclosure of this information outside the company could seriously damage the company’s interests.  Safeguarding this information is everyone’s responsibility.

To protect this information, it is company policy that:

•           Confidential information of the company should be disclosed within the company only on a need-to-know basis;
•           Confidential information of the company (paper and electronic) must be marked with additional handling instructions;
•           Confidential information of the company should be disclosed outside the company only when required by law or when necessary to further the company’s business activities and in accordance with the company’s disclosure guidelines.

We also have an obligation to protect the confidential information provided to us by our customers and suppliers during the course of business.  They expect this from us just as we expect it from them.

A-4



FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING

All business records, expense accounts, vouchers, invoices, bills, payroll, service records and other reports, books and records of the Company must be prepared with care and accuracy and maintained in a verifiable manner in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  All entries to Company ledger accounts must be substantiated by documentation that accurately describes the transaction they represent.

All corporate funds and accounts must be established in accordance with applicable Standard Practices.  No fund or account is to be established or maintained for a purpose that is not fully and accurately described in the relevant books of the Company.  All company books, records, accounts, funds and assets must be maintained to reflect fairly and accurately the underlying transactions and disposition of company business in reasonable detail.  No entries will be made that intentionally conceal or disguise the true nature of any company transaction.

In this respect, the following guidelines must be followed:
  • No undisclosed, unrecorded, or “off-book” funds or assets should be established for any purpose.
  • No false or fictitious invoices should be paid or created.
  • No false or artificial entries should be made or misleading reports issued.
  • Assets and liabilities of the company shall be recognized and stated in accordance with the company’s standard practices and GAAP.
If an employee believes that the company’s books and records are not being maintained in accordance with these requirements, the employee should report the matter directly to their supervisor, or to Mr. Castle, as Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information).

INSIDER TRADING

Employees shall not trade in securities while in possession of material inside information.  To avoid even the appearance of insider trading, employees shall not trade in options in the company’s stock and shall avoid speculating in Vasomedical stock.  All employees shall follow the guidelines on securities trading issued by the company.

Federal law and company policy prohibits employees, directly or indirectly through their families or others, from purchasing or selling company stock while in possession of material, non-public information concerning the company.  To avoid even the appearance of improprieties, company policy also prohibits employees from trading options on the open market in company stock under any circumstances.

Material, non-public information is any information that could reasonably be expected to affect the value of a stock.  If an employee is considering buying or selling a stock because of inside information they may possess, they should assume that such information is material.  It is also important for the employee to keep in mind that if any trade they make becomes the subject of an investigation by the government, the trade will be viewed after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight.  Consequently, employees should always carefully consider how their trades would look from this perspective.

If an employee’s family or friends ask for advice about buying or selling company stock, the employee should not provide it.  Federal law and company policy also prohibit the employee from “tipping” family or friends regarding material, non-public information that the employee learns about Vasomedical in the course of employment.  The same penalties apply, regardless of whether the employee derives any benefit from the trade.

A-5

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Each Vasomedical employee must be careful to avoid any situation that might create a personal conflict of interest.  This may involve participating in activities, including outside employment, which conflict or appear to conflict with Vasomedical’s business.  Included are financial interests in suppliers or competitors. Business decisions and actions must be based on the best interests of Vasomedical and must not be motivated by personal considerations or relationships.  Relationships with prospective or existing suppliers, contractors, customers, competitors or regulators must not affect our independent and sound judgment.

General guidelines to help employees better understand several of the most common examples of situations that may cause a conflict of interest follow:

Outside Employment – employees of Vasomedical may not work for or receive payments from any competitor, customer, distributor or supplier of Vasomedical without approval of local management.  Any outside activity must be strictly separated from Vasomedical employment and should not harm job performance at Vasomedical.

Board Memberships – serving on the Board of Directors or a similar body for an outside company or government agency requires the advance approval of local management.  Helping the community by serving on boards of non-profit or community organizations is encouraged and does not require prior approval.

Gifts Given to Vasomedical Employees – employees of Vasomedical may not accept kickbacks, lavish gifts or gratuities.  We can accept items of nominal value, such as small promotional items bearing another company’s name.  We cannot accept anything that might make it appear that our judgment for Vasomedical would be compromised.

Gifts Given by Vasomedical Employees – some business situations call for giving gifts.  Gifts from Vasomedical must be legal, reasonable and approved by local management.

TRADE (EXPORT AND IMPORT)

Compliance with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce should be strictly enforced.  The Marketing and Contracts group has the lead role within Vasomedical to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations pertaining to importing and exporting for all countries where Vasomedical does business.  The export regulations are very complex and employees who are unfamiliar with them should not make decisions regarding licenses, etc.

INTERNATIONAL CITIZENSHIP

Since Vasomedical, Inc. is a multinational company, employees will frequently be confronted with laws, regulations and business practices in the various countries and economies that differ from those in places where they customarily do business.  However, honesty and integrity are not subject to equivocation at any time in any culture.  Vasomedical, Inc.  will be a responsible corporate citizen in every country in which it conducts its business. By maintaining high levels of personal integrity and by recognizing the needs of the host countries in which the Company conducts its business, Vasomedical, Inc.  will maintain its reputation for fairness and ethical behavior on a worldwide basis.


A-6


REPORTING VIOLATIONS

There are no easy answers to many ethical issues we face in our daily business activities.  In some circumstances, the right thing to do will be obvious, but in other more complex situations, it may be difficult for an employee to decide what to do.  When an employee is faced with a tough ethical decision or whenever they have any doubts as to the right thing to do, they should talk to someone else such as their supervisor or another manager.  The company also has a member of the Board of Directors who has been identified as the individual to handle reports on violations of company policy.  As the Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors, Mr. Castle serves as the individual to whom reported violations of company policy should be made, as well as any suspected misconduct by any employee or representative of the company.  This may be done anonymously in writing to:   Peter C. Castle, 270N Duffy Avenue, Hicksville, New York  11801.

RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

As employees of Vasomedical, Inc. , each of us has the personal responsibility to make sure that our actions abide by this Corporate Code of Business Ethics and the laws that apply to our work.  If anyone has any questions or concerns about illegal or unethical acts, check with your supervisor, or contact Mr. Castle, as Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information).  Keep in mind that failure to abide by this Code and the law will lead to disciplinary measures appropriate to the violation.

ADMINISTRATION

Employees acting on behalf of the Company are responsible for adherence to this Policy.  All managers are responsible for advising their employees of the principles embodied in this Corporate Code of Business Ethics and for directing their activities consistent with these principles.

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGERS

Vasomedical managers are expected to lead according to our standards of ethical conduct, in both words and actions.  Managers are responsible for promoting open and honest two-way communications.  Managers must be positive activists and role models to show respect and consideration for each of our employees.  Managers must be diligent in looking for indications that unethical or illegal conduct has occurred.
