Vigil Health Solutions Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VGL) ("Vigil") announces
the results of operations for the fiscal year and the fourth
quarter, ending March 31, 2011.
Highlights

compared to a loss of $236 thousand in the three month period ended
March 31, 2010.
-- Reduced annual losses by 87% to $70 thousand for the year ended March
31, 2011 compared to $532 thousand for the previous year. (Achieved
positive Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $16 thousand
compared to a loss of $438 thousand in the year ended March 31, 2010.)
-- Increased revenue by 8% to $4.38 million in the year ended March 31,
2011 compared to $4.06 million in the prior year.
-- Grew service and maintenance revenue and one-off sales by 49% in the
fiscal year to $1.23 million.
-- Reduced operating expenditures by 20% to $1.87 million from $2.34
million for the year ended March 31, 2010.
-- Released the Vitality Care System™, a new wireless monitoring system

"We are pleased to have achieved profitability in both the third
and fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Similarly, the substantial
reduction in losses seen year over year reflects our ability to
maintain revenue levels and margins, while containing costs during
the recession. I remain confident in the strong fundamentals of the
senior living industry and believe demand will grow as the United
States economy strengthens," stated Troy Griffiths, President and
CEO of Vigil Health Solutions Inc.
Financial Results
Bookings for the year ended March 31, 2011 were $3.57 million
compared to $3.18 million in the year ended March 31, 2010.
Management believes that, while new construction activity is still
at historically low levels, the 12% increase in bookings may be a
reflection of the first signs of recovery in the US new senior
housing market.
At March 31, 2011 Vigil had a backlog of approximately $1.43
million (including $521 thousand in deposits and progress billings,
recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) as compared to
$2.78 million (including $1.28 million in deposits and progress
billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at
March 31, 2010.
Vigil records revenue under the completed contract method of
revenue recognition. The timing of the installation of the
technology is often dependent on facility construction schedules,
which can result in a considerable lag between receipt of contracts
and revenue recognition. The Company's backlog includes all
contracts signed including those in progress but not completed.
Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2011 was $4.38 million
compared to $4.06 million in the year ended March 31, 2010, an
increase of 8%. As mentioned above there can be a considerable lag
between receipt of contracts (bookings) and revenue recognition.
The increase in revenue is largely due to the completion, and
related recognition of revenue, on the largest sale in the
Company's history ($770 thousand, booked in fiscal 2010). In fiscal
year ended March 31, 2011 the revenue from service and maintenance
agreements and one-off sales grew by 49% to $1.23 million compared
to $820 thousand in the year ended March 31, 2010.
The gross margin percentage for the year ended March 31, 2011
was 42% compared to 45% for the year ended March 31, 2010. Gross
margins are in line with management's expectations of annual
margins of between 42% and 47%.
Operating expenditures for the year ended March 31, 2011 were
$1.87 million down 20% from operating expenditures of $2.34 million
for the same period ended March 31, 2010. Reflecting the tight
economic environment the Company decreased expenditures in all
areas in fiscal 2011.
Losses for the year ended March 31, 2011 were $70 thousand, or
$0.014 per share, compared to $532 thousand, or $0.106 per share,
for the previous year. The 87% decrease in losses is primarily
attributable to the 20% or $473 thousand decrease in operating
expenses.
A summary of our financial performance for the year ended March
31, 2011 follows below. For further information relating to the
financial results of the Company, please refer to the Company's

Non-GAAP Measure
For the year ended March 31, 2011, we are disclosing Adjusted
EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplementary indicator
of operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income
before, interest, income taxes, amortization, stock based
compensation and currency gains or losses including derivative
foreign exchange differences. We are presenting the non-GAAP
financial measure in our filings because we use it internally to
make strategic decisions, forecast future results and to evaluate
our performance and because we believe that our current and
potential investors and analysts use the measure to assess current
and future operating results and to make investment decisions. It
is a non-GAAP measure, may not be comparable to other companies and
it is not intended as a substitute for GAAP measures.
