"We continued to see improvements in our revenue levels reflecting the improved bookings seen in the last fiscal year.

Financial Results

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information presented in this press release has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The conversion to IFRS from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles became effective on or after January 1, 2011. Please refer to the Company's most recently issued financial statements for further discussion.

Revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.01 million compared to $641 thousand in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 58%. The increase in revenue is due to low revenues in the prior quarter reflecting the US economic downturn. Project revenue made up 68% of total revenue; the remaining revenue came from follow on sales to existing customers. These sales include service and maintenance billings and replacement products including wireless devices and communication equipment.

Bookings for the quarter were $855 thousand down 10% compared to $955 thousand in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. Management believes the decline is a timing and construction cycle issue as the senior living market appears to be showing signs of recovery. In the prior fiscal period bookings were feeling pressure from the recession however there were still some projects that had received financing prior to the credit crunch. In the quarter ended June 30, 2011 the availability of financing had improved however many of the projects have not yet moved to the construction phase when they would normally be expected to purchase nurse call technology.

At June 30, 2011 Vigil had a backlog of approximately $1.10 million (including $377 thousand in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) a 64% decrease compared to approximately $3.10 million (including $1.64 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at June 30, 2010. During the period, Vigil's backlog included 20 projects at varying stages of installation and progress billing. The average project size was $55 thousand compared to $111 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2010. In the prior fiscal the Company had one very large project worth approximately $750 thousand that caused a higher than usual average value.

The gross margin percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 46% compared to 45% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The gross margin during the period was within management's expectations of margins of between 42% and 47%.

Expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $524 thousand, up 11% from operating expenditures of $473 thousand for the period ended June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to lower costs in the prior period reflecting the reduced work week in effect and higher levels of reimbursement received from the government for specific research and development projects.

Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was $56 thousand, or $0.010 per share compared to a loss of $180 thousand, or $0.036 per share for the previous year. The decrease in losses is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue in the period.

Non-IFRS Measure

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we are disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS 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-IFRS 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-IFRS measure, may not be comparable to other companies and it is not intended as a substitute for IFRS measures.
