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.
Detailed financial statements along with Management Discussion
and Analysis have been filed with SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
Financial information will be mailed to entitled security
holders on September 16, 2011. Or, upon notice to the Company,

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.
