NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Vaso Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
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 nine months ended September 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 $808,000 and $344,000 at September 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 $17,069,000 and $17,098,000 at September 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 $1,265,000 and $2,315,000 at September 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 $831,000 and $988,000 at September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized approximately $2.9 million and $4.8 million of revenues that were included in our contract liability balance at July 1, 2019 and January 1, 2019, respectively.

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.

Long-term deferred revenue at end of period | $6,752 | $6,983 | $6,752 | $6,983 |
The net reduction in deferred commission revenue of $797 thousand in the third quarter 2018 is due to the impact of the tiered commission structure. New orders for the quarter exceeded cancellations of prior period orders recognized in the quarter; however, the average commission rate on such cancellations was greater than the average commission rate for new orders in the quarter resulting in the net decrease in deferred commission revenues. Periodically, GEHC “scrubs” the open orders to eliminate orders that are not expected to be fulfilled.

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.

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

Results of Operations – For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $18,727,000 and $18,788,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $61,000, or less than 1% year-over-year. On a segment basis, revenue in the IT segment increased $483,000, while professional sales service and equipment segment revenue decreased $518,000 and $26,000, respectively.
Revenue in the IT segment for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $11,485,000 compared to $11,002,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $483,000, or 4%, of which $419,000 resulted from an increase in the operations of the healthcare IT VAR business and $64,000 resulted from higher NetWolves revenue. Our monthly recurring revenue in the managed network services operations continues to grow 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 decreased to $13.2 million at September 30, 2019 from $14.8 million at September 30, 2018, due to revenues exceeding order bookings and higher order cancellations. We define backlog as the total value of the undelivered products and services in current contracts that will be delivered in future periods.
Commission revenues in the professional sales service segment were $6,336,000 in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 8%, as compared to $6,854,000 in the same quarter 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. 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, 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. At September 30, 2018, $16,011,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $6,518,000 was long-term. The increase in deferred revenue is principally due to an increase in new orders booked and a decrease in deliveries by GEHC. We anticipate that revenue will increase in the fourth quarter of 2019 as deliveries increase.
Revenue in the equipment segment decreased by $26,000, or 3%, to $906,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $932,000 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was principally due to lower sales of EECP® equipment.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $10,841,000, or 58% of revenue, and $10,451,000, or 56% of revenue, respectively, representing an increase of $390,000, or 4% year-over-year. On a segment basis, gross profit in the IT segment increased $632,000, or 14%, while gross profit in the professional sales service and equipment segments decreased $193,000, or 4%, and $49,000, or 8%, respectively.
IT segment gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $5,071,000, or 44% of the segment revenue, compared to $4,439,000, or 42% of the segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The year-over-year increase of $632,000, or 14%, was primarily a result of higher margin product sales mix of network and managed services and higher sales volume in the IT VAR business.
Professional sales service segment gross profit was $5,196,000, or 82% of segment revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $5,389,000, or 79% of the segment revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, reflecting a decrease of $193,000. 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 2019 than in the same period last year. Cost of commissions in the professional sales service segment of $1,140,000 and $1,465,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, reflected commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues.
23
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 decreased to $574,000, or 63% of segment revenues, for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $623,000, or 67% of segment revenues, for the same quarter of 2018. The $49,000, or 8%, decrease in gross profit was due to lower sales volume, as well as a gross profit margin decrease due mainly to a higher proportion of lower margin products in the sales mix in the third quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2018.
Operating Income (loss)
Operating income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $805,000 and $(241,000), respectively, representing an improvement of $1,046,000, due to the increase in gross profit and decrease in operating costs (below). On a segment basis, operating income in the IT and professional sales service segments increased $1,051,000 and $15,000, respectively and, while operating loss in the equipment segment increased $101,000. In addition, corporate expenses decreased $81,000.
Operating income in the IT segment increased to $269,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 as compared to operating loss of $(782,000) in the same period of 2018 due to higher gross profit and lower selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) costs, partially offset by higher research and development (“R&D”) costs. Operating income in the professional sales service segment increased $15,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 as compared to operating income in the same period of 2018, due to lower SG&A costs partially offset by lower gross profit. The increase in equipment segment operating loss of $101,000 in the third quarter of 2019 was due to lower gross profit and higher SG&A costs, partially offset by lower R&D costs.
SG&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $9,840,000 and $10,462,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $622,000, or 6% year-over-year. On a segment basis, SG&A costs in the IT segment decreased by $422,000 in the third quarter of 2019 from the same quarter of the prior year due to reduced personnel costs. SG&A costs in the professional sales service segment decreased $209,000 due mainly to lower personnel-related costs, and SG&A costs in the equipment segment increased $90,000 due mainly to higher legal costs associated with the successful conclusion of a lawsuit partially offset by lower personnel costs. Corporate costs not allocated to segments decreased by $81,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2019 from the same period in 2018, due primarily to lower director and legal fees and lower investor relations costs.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $196,000, or 1% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $34,000, or 15%, from $230,000, or 1% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower product development expenses 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.

A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below:
(in thousands) | ||
Three months ended September 30, | ||
2019 | 2018 | |
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | |
Net income (loss) | $562 | $(377) |
Interest expense (income), net | 268 | 169 |
Income tax expense | 11 | 14 |
Depreciation and amortization | 679 | 626 |
Share-based compensation | 25 | 44 |
Adjusted EBITDA | $1,545 | $476 |
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1,069,000, to $1,545,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 from $476,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the change from net loss to net income.
Interest and Other Income (Expense)
Interest and other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $(232,000) as compared to $(122,000) for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in interest and other income (expense) was due primarily to higher interest expense due to increased borrowings under the line of credit.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $11,000 as compared to $14,000 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease arose mainly from lower state taxes.
Net Income (loss)
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $562,000 as compared to a net loss of $377,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, representing an improvement of $939,000. No net income (loss) per share was recorded in each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The principal cause of the change from net loss to net income is the increase in IT segment revenue and gross profit, and the reduction in IT segment SG&A costs.
Results of Operations – For the Nine months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $51,794,000 and $54,741,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $2,947,000, or 5% year-over-year. On a segment basis, revenue in the IT segment increased $1,099,000, while revenue in the professional sales service and equipment segments decreased $3,986,000 and $60,000, respectively.
25
Revenue in the IT segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $34,217,000 compared to $33,118,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $1,099,000, or 3%, a result of $1,295,000 growth in the healthcare IT VAR business offset by a $196,000 revenue decrease in our NetWolves operation.
Commission revenues in the professional sales service segment were $14,882,000 in the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of 21%, as compared to $18,868,000 in the first nine months 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. 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.
Revenue in the equipment segment decreased by $60,000, or 2%, to $2,695,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $2,755,000 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was principally due to a decrease in EECP® revenues as a result of lower sales volume.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $28,139,000, or 54% of revenue, and $30,507,000, or 56% of revenue, respectively, representing a decrease of $2,368,000, or 8% year-over-year. On a segment basis, gross profit in the IT segments increased $599,000, while gross profit in the professional sales service and equipment segments decreased $2,863,000 and $104,000, respectively.
IT segment gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $14,426,000, or 42% of the segment revenue, compared to $13,827,000, or 42% of the segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, with increases of $497,000 and $102,000 from the IT VAR and NetWolves businesses, respectively, as a result of higher sales.
Professional sales service segment gross profit was $12,102,000, or 81% of segment revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $14,965,000, or 79% of the segment revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, reflecting a decrease of $2,863,000, or 19%. The decrease in absolute dollars was due to lower commission revenue as a result of lower volume of GEHC equipment delivered during the first nine months of 2019 than in the same period last year, offset by lower commission expense in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.
Cost of commissions in the professional sales service segment of $2,780,000 and $3,903,000, for the nine months ended September 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 $1,611,000, or 60% of segment revenues, for the first nine months of 2019 compared to $1,715,000, or 62% of segment revenues, for the same period of 2018, due to lower sales volume and lower margin product mix in the first nine months of 2019, compared to the same period of 2018.
Operating Loss
Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2,369,000 and $2,620,000, respectively, representing an improvement of $251,000, primarily due to lower operating costs partially offset by lower gross profit. On a segment basis, operating loss decreased $1,758,000 in the IT segment and increased $62,000 in the equipment segment. Operating income in the professional sales service segment decreased $1,610,000 from $1,123,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to an operating loss $487,000 in the same period of 2019. In addition, corporate expenses decreased $165,000.
26
Operating loss in the IT segment decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018 due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A costs, partially offset by higher research and development costs. Operating income in the professional sales service segment decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018 due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower SG&A costs. Operating loss in the equipment segment increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018 due to lower gross profit and higher SG&A costs, partially offset by lower R&D costs.
SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $29,884,000 and $32,459,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $2,575,000, or 8% year-over-year. On a segment basis, SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased in the IT segment by $1,195,000 to $14,485,000, from $15,680,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to decreased personnel costs, and decreased in the professional sales service segment by $1,254,000 to $12,588,000, from $13,842,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due to lower personnel-related costs. SG&A costs in the equipment segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $39,000 to $2,043,000, from $2,005,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, due primarily to higher legal costs, partially offset by lower personnel costs. Corporate costs not allocated to segments decreased in the same period by $165,000 to $767,000 from $932,000, due primarily to lower director and legal fees and lower investor relations costs.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $624,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $44,000, or 7%, from $668,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower product development expenses 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.

A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below:
(in thousands) | ||
Nine months ended September 30, | ||
2019 | 2018 | |
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | |
Net loss | $(3,037) | $(2,895) |
Interest expense (income), net | 711 | 507 |
Income tax expense | 49 | 71 |
Depreciation and amortization | 2,024 | 1,828 |
Share-based compensation | 123 | 266 |
Adjusted EBITDA | $(130) | $(223) |
27
Adjusted EBITDA improved by $93,000, to $(130,000) in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $(223,000) in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The improvement was primarily attributable to higher interest and depreciation and amortization charges, partially offset by the higher net loss and lower share-based compensation.
Interest and Other Income (Expense)
Interest and other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $(619,000) as compared to $(204,000) for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase was due primarily to the $212,000 gain on sale of VSK in the corresponding period of the prior year, and by higher interest expense due to increased borrowings under our credit line.
Income Tax Expense
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $49,000 as compared to income tax expense of $71,000 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease arose mainly from lower state and foreign taxes.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $3,037,000 compared to net loss of $2,895,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing an increase in net loss of $142,000. Our net loss per share was $0.02 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The principal causes of the increase in net loss is the decrease in operating income in the professional sales service segment and the gain on sale of investment in VSK, partially offset by the decrease in operating loss in the IT segment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Flow
We have financed our operations from working capital and drawdown on our lines of credit. At September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,343,000 and negative working capital of $19,489,000, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,668,000 and negative working capital of $16,179,000 at December 31, 2018. $8,672,000 in negative working capital at September 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 $2,050,000, which consisted of net loss after adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash of $633,000 and cash used by operating assets and liabilities of $1,417,000, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,532,000 for the same period in 2018. The changes in the account balances primarily reflect a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $2,774,000, offset by decreases in accounts payable, accrued commissions, and accrued expenses of $1,363,000, $1,539,000, and $1,022,000, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 was $867,000 for the purchase of equipment and software.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 was $1,547,000 primarily as a result of $1,730,000 in net borrowings on revolving lines of credit and notes payable, partially offset by $181,000 in net repayments of notes and finance leases issued for equipment purchases.
Liquidity
We have incurred net losses from operations for the nine months ended September 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.
