Financial Results
Sales bookings for the year ended March 31, 2014 were $5.29 million up 20% from
$4.41 million in the year ended March 31, 2013.
At March 31, 2014 Vigil had a backlog of approximately $2.99 million (including
$1.14 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on
the balance sheet) down 17% from $3.62 million (including $899 thousand in
deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance
sheet) at March 31, 2013. The lower backlog reflects higher revenues in the last
quarter of fiscal 2014 relating to the large number of projects completed.
Vigil records revenue following completion of the installation and commissioning
of the product at the customer site which is indicated by customer acceptance.
The timing of the installation of Vigil's products 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, 2014 was $5.12 million compared to $3.74
million in the year ended March 31, 2013, an increase of 37%. Project revenue
made up 65% 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 and
were up 19% over fiscal 2013.
The gross margin percentage for the year ended March 31, 2014 was 47% compared
to 49% for the year ended March 31, 2013. Gross margins are in line with
management expectations of between 42% and 47%.
Operating expenditures for the year ended March 31, 2013 were $2.19 million up
30% from $1.69 million for the same period ended March 31, 2013. The majority of
the increase can be attributed to an increase in payroll. In fiscal 2013 certain
employees had reduced hours, temporarily reducing operating costs, in fiscal
2014 staffing levels increased in line with sales.
Net income for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $265 thousand, or $0.016 per
share, compared to $153 thousand, or $0.012 per share per share, for the
previous year. The profitable year is due to the 37% increase in revenue.
A summary of our financial performance for the quarter and year ended March 31,
2014 follows below. For further information relating to the financial results of
the Company, please refer to the Company's financial statements and MD&A filed

Non-IFRS Measure
For the year ended March 31, 2014, 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.
