NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

On May 14, 2020, Vaso Corporation (“the Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to indicate its intention to rely on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Release No. 34-88465 dated March 25, 2020 (the “Order”) for a 45 day extension of time to file the its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, after the applicable deadline for filing of May 15, 2020. Consistent with the Company's statements made in the Form 8-K, the Company was unable to file the original Form 10-Q prior to the prescribed May 15, 2020 filing date because the Company's operations and business have experienced significant disruptions due to the new coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. More specifically, both the Company and its auditors were experiencing staffing difficulties materially impairing its ability to file on the prescribed date. The Company’s principal offices, including its accounting department, are located in Nassau County, New York, which area has been significantly impacted by COVID-19. Since March 16, 2020, the Company’s employees have been working remotely. As a result, the Company’s books and records were not easily accessible.

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.

NOTE B – INTERIM STATEMENT PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2020.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the companies over which we exercise control. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim results for the Company. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

Vaso Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and cash flows during the periods presented. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions the Company makes are based on historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company's management. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.

Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides new guidance regarding the measurement and recognition of credit impairment for certain financial assets. Such guidance will impact how we determine our allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which changed the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC from first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2023, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) for executed contracts approximates $77.0 million, of which we expect to recognize revenue as follows:

	Fiscal years of revenue recognition (unaudited)
	remainder of 2020	2021	2022	Thereafter
Unfulfilled performance obligations	$34,452	$23,386	$8,490	$10,712

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 $640,000 and $568,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In our VasoHealthcare business, we bill amounts for certain milestones in advance of customer acceptance of the underlying equipment. Such amounts aggregated approximately $17,890,000 and $18,565,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are classified in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either current or long-term deferred revenue. In addition, we record a contract liability for amounts expected to be repaid to GEHC due to customer order reductions. Such amounts aggregated approximately $1,693,000 and $1,270,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In our VasoMedical business, we bill amounts for post-delivery services and varying duration service contracts in advance of performance. Such amounts aggregated approximately $785,000 and $778,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are classified in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either current or long-term deferred revenue.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized approximately $1.9 million of revenues that were included in our contract liability balance at January 1, 2020.

NOTE D – SEGMENT REPORTING AND CONCENTRATIONS

Vaso Corporation principally operates in three distinct business segments in the healthcare and information technology industries. We manage and evaluate our operations, and report our financial results, through these three reportable segments.

●

IT segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoTechnology, Inc., primarily focuses on healthcare IT and managed network technology services;

●

Professional sales service segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, primarily focuses on the sale of healthcare capital equipment for GEHC into the healthcare provider middle market; and

●

Equipment segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoMedical, Inc., primarily focuses on the design, manufacture, sale and service of proprietary medical devices.

The chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who, in conjunction with upper management, evaluates segment performance based on operating income and adjusted EBITDA (net income (loss), plus interest expense (income), net; tax expense; depreciation and amortization; and non-cash stock-based compensation). Administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and information technology are centralized and related expenses allocated to each segment. Other costs not directly attributable to operating segments, such as audit, legal, director fees, investor relations, and others, as well as certain assets – primarily cash balances – are reported in the Corporate entity below. There are no intersegment revenues. Summary financial information for the segments is set forth below:

NOTE E –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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 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.

NOTE P – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Paycheck Protection Program

On April 13, 2020, the Company received funding of a $3,610,900 Note (the “Note”) issued by PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act’s Paycheck Protection Program (the “Program”). Amounts outstanding on the Note are at the annual interest rate of 1%. During the first six months of the Note, there is no principal nor interest required to be paid. Thereafter, to the extent the Note is not forgiven under the Program, the outstanding balance of the Note converts to an amortizing term loan payable monthly over an eighteen month period. The Note can be prepaid at any time without penalty.

The Company may apply to PNC for forgiveness of the Note in an amount equal to the sum of the following costs incurred by the Company during the eight-week period beginning on the date of first disbursement of the Note proceeds:

(a) payroll costs;

(b) any payment of interest on a covered mortgage obligation;

(d) any covered utility payment.

The amount of forgiveness is calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Program. In this regard, no more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs.

General Overview

COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have a significant impact on the United States economy and we anticipate that the pandemic may negatively impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, although at this time we cannot reasonably estimate what that impact may be. The pandemic has resulted in workforce and travel restrictions and created business disruptions in supply chain, production and demand across many business sectors. Equipment orders in our professional sales service segment appear to have been negatively impacted, and we do anticipate continued negative impact in our business at least in the second quarter, in particular in our professional sales service segment for the diagnostic imaging equipment. Moreover, we anticipate a negative impact in the recurring revenue business in our IT segment as some of our customers have been adversely affected by the shutdown, and new business in this segment appears to be slower as well. The pandemic also may have a negative impact on our cash receipts as some customers request forbearance or a delay in their payments to us.

The pandemic may impact our operations beyond the second quarter of 2020, depending on the duration of the pandemic and the timing and success of the reopening of the economy.

We have taken significant steps in our efforts to protect our workforce and our clients. Substantially all of our employees are working remotely and we are implementing plans to reopen our work sites consistent with the guidelines promulgated by the CDC and respective state governments. In addition, the Company received a $3.6 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act. This loan, substantially all of which shall qualify for forgiveness, is being used to principally cover our payroll costs, thereby allowing us to maintain our workforce and continue to provide services and solutions to our clients.

Our Business Segments

Vaso Corporation (“Vaso”) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1987. We principally operate in three distinct business segments in the healthcare and information technology industries. We manage and evaluate our operations, and report our financial results, through these three business segments.

●

IT segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoTechnology, Inc., primarily focuses on healthcare IT and managed network technology services;

●

Professional sales service segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a VasoHealthcare, primarily focuses on the sale of healthcare capital equipment for GEHC into the healthcare provider middle market; and

●

Equipment segment, operating through a wholly-owned subsidiary VasoMedical, Inc., primarily focuses on the design, manufacture, sale and service of proprietary medical devices.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events, our actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates made are based on historical factors, current circumstances, and the experience and judgment of our management, who continually evaluate the judgments, estimates and assumptions and may employ outside experts to assist in the evaluations.

Certain of our accounting policies are deemed “critical”, as they are both most important to the financial statement presentation and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Note B to the condensed consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2020.

Results of Operations – For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

Revenues

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $17,283,000 and $15,524,000, respectively, representing an increase of $1,759,000, or 11% year-over-year. On a segment basis, revenue in the IT and professional sales service segments increased $12,000 and $1,751,000, respectively, while equipment segment revenue decreased $4,000.

Revenue in the IT segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $11,339,000 compared to $11,327,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $12,000, or less than 1%, of which $313,000 resulted from higher NetWolves revenue, partially offset by a $301,000 decrease in healthcare IT VAR revenue. Our monthly recurring revenue in the IT segment accounted for $10,550,000 or 93% of the segment revenue for the first quarter of 2020, and $9,955,000 or 88% of the segment revenue for the same quarter last year (see Note C).

Commission revenues in the professional sales service segment were $5,166,000 in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 51%, as compared to $3,415,000 in the same quarter of 2019. The increase in commission revenues was due primarily to an increase in the volume of underlying equipment delivered by GEHC during the period. 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 March 31, 2020, $17,890,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $8,625,000 was long-term. At March 31, 2019, $17,015,000 in deferred commission revenue was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $6,461,000 was long-term. The increase in deferred revenue is principally due to an increase in new orders booked partially offset by an increase in deliveries by GEHC.

Revenue in the equipment segment decreased by $4,000, or 1%, to $778,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 from $782,000 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was principally due to lower EECP® service revenues offset by higher sales at our China subsidiaries.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $9,195,000, or 53% of revenue, and $7,886,000, or 51% of revenue, respectively, representing an increase of $1,309,000, or 17% year-over-year. On a segment basis, gross profit in the professional sales service and equipment segments increased $1,461,000, or 54%, and $46,000, or 10%, respectively, while gross profit in the IT segment decreased $198,000, or 4%.

IT segment gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $4,528,000, or 40% of the segment revenue, compared to $4,726,000, or 42% of the segment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The year-over-year decrease of $198,000, or 4%, was primarily a result of lower sales volume in the healthcare IT VAR business.

Professional sales service segment gross profit was $4,146,000, or 80% of segment revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $2,685,000, or 79% of the segment revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, reflecting an increase of $1,461,000. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to higher commission revenue as a result of higher volume of GEHC equipment delivered during the first quarter of 2020 than in the same period last year. Cost of commissions in the professional sales service segment of $1,020,000 and $730,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, reflected commission expense associated with recognized commission revenues.

Commission expense associated with short-term deferred revenue is recorded as short-term deferred commission expense, or with long-term deferred revenue as part of other assets, on the balance sheet until the related commission revenue is recognized.

Equipment segment gross profit increased to $521,000, or 67% of segment revenues, for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $475,000, or 61% of segment revenues, for the same quarter of 2019. The $46,000, or 10%, increase in gross profit was due to a gross profit margin increase due mainly to a more favorable proportion of higher margin products in the sales mix in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Operating Loss

Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,252,000 and $2,655,000, respectively, representing an improvement of $1,403,000, due to the increase in gross profit and decrease in operating costs (below). On a segment basis, operating loss in the professional sales service and equipment segments decreased $1,210,000 and $259,000, respectively, while operating loss in the IT segment increased $141,000. In addition, corporate expenses decreased $76,000.

Operating loss in the IT segment increased to $484,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to operating loss of $343,000 in the same period of 2019 due to lower gross profit and higher research and development (“R&D”) costs, partially offset by lower selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) costs. Operating loss in the professional sales service segment decreased $1,210,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 due to higher gross profit partially offset by higher SG&A costs. The decrease in equipment segment operating loss of $259,000 in the first quarter of 2020 was due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A and R&D costs.

SG&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $10,267,000 and $10,341,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $74,000, or 1% year-over-year. On a segment basis, SG&A costs in the IT segment decreased by $66,000 in the first quarter of 2020 from the same quarter of the prior year due to reduced personnel costs. SG&A costs in the professional sales service segment increased $252,000 due mainly to costs for the national sales meeting, which was held in 2020 but not in 2019, and SG&A costs in the equipment segment decreased $184,000 due mainly to lower personnel costs. Corporate costs not allocated to segments decreased by $76,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 from the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower accounting and legal fees.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $180,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $20,000, or 10%, from $200,000, or 1% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2019. 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 loss to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below:

	(in thousands)
	Three months ended March 31,
	2020	2019
	(unaudited)	(unaudited)
Net loss	$(1,367)	$(2,849)
Interest expense (income), net	261	217
Income tax (benefit) expense	(119)	11
Depreciation and amortization	623	675
Share-based compensation	27	44
Adjusted EBITDA	$(575)	$(1,902)

Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by $1,327,000, to $575,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 from $1,902,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to the lower net loss.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

Interest and other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $(234,000) as compared to $(183,000) for the corresponding period of 2019. 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 (Benefit)

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded income tax benefit of $(119,000) as compared to income tax expense of $11,000 for the corresponding period of 2019. The change from expense to benefit arose mainly from the reversal of deferred tax liability in our China operations.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1,367,000 as compared to a net loss of $2,849,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing an improvement of $1,482,000. Our net loss per share was $0.01 and $0.02 in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The principal cause of the decrease in net loss is the increase in professional sales services segment revenue and gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Flow

We have financed our operations from working capital. At March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,558,000 and negative working capital of $7,032,000, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,124,000 and negative working capital of $7,469,000 at December 31, 2019. $7,462,000 in negative working capital at March 31, 2020 is attributable to the net balance of deferred commission expense and deferred revenue. These are non-cash expense and revenue items and have no impact on future cash flows.

Cash provided by operating activities was $6,343,000, which consisted of net loss after adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash of $762,000 and cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $7,105,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to cash used in operating activities of $705,000 for the same period in 2019. The changes in the account balances primarily reflect a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $9,160,000, partially offset by decreases in accrued commissions and deferred revenue of $1,156,000, and $667,000, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was $172,000 for the purchase of equipment and software.

Cash used in financing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was $763,000 as a result of $100,000 in repayment on revolving lines of credit, $623,000 in liquidation of notes payable, and $40,000 in payments of finance leases issued for equipment purchases.

In April 2020 the Company received a $3.6 million loan through the Paycheck Protection Program (the “Program”) under the CARES Act. The proceeds will be used to cover payroll and related expenses and certain other costs permitted under the Program.

Liquidity

The Company expects to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and from the $3.6 million proceeds of the Program loan to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.

The COVID-19 pandemic may impact our operations beyond the second quarter of 2020, depending on the duration of the pandemic and the timing and success of the reopening of the economy.
