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.

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.
