Financial Results

Revenue for the three-months ended December 31, 2013 was $1.30 million compared
to $1.10 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, an increase
of 19%. Project revenue made up 69% 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 $1.15 million up 5% compared to $1.09 million in
the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. 


At December 31, 2013 Vigil had a backlog of approximately $3.15 million
(including $1.65 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred
revenue on the balance sheet) a 14% increase compared to approximately $2.76
million (including $611 thousand in deposits and progress billings, recorded as
deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at December 31, 2012. At December 31,
2013, Vigil's backlog included 37 projects at varying stages of installation and
progress billing with an average project size of $85 thousand. Projects can
include individual buildings or floors of multiple phase campus construction. 


The gross margin percentage for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was 45%
compared to 50% for the three months ended December 31, 2012. Gross margin was
within management's usual expectations of margins of between 42% and 47%.
Margins have been higher in previous quarters due to a large number of one off
sales, which usually have better margins due to the lower labour component. 


Expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2013 were $568 thousand, up
34% from $424 thousand for the period ended December 31, 2012. The increase is
primarily due to increased compensation costs reflecting higher staffing levels.
Staffing is now back to normal levels similar to those seen prior to the
recession.


Net income for the three month period ended December 31, 2013 was $20 thousand,
or $0.001 per share compared to income of $132 thousand, or $0.010 per share for
the previous year. The decline in profitability reflects the small decrease in
gross profit and increasing operating costs as staffing levels rise, inline with
the increase in business activity and new product development.


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 February
21, 2013. Or, upon notice to the Company, entitled security holders may request
a copy of financials in advance.

Non-IFRS Measure

For the three months ended December 31, 2013, 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.
