Financial Results

Revenue for the three-months ended September 30, 2012 was $826 thousand compared to $669 thousand in the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 24%. Project revenue made up 57% 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 $1.27 million up 18% compared to $1.08 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2011. Management believes this is an indication of an improvement in the Senior Living industry.

At September 30, 2012 Vigil had a backlog of approximately $2.72 million (including $836 thousand in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) a 34% increase compared to approximately $2.03 million (including $553 thousand in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2012, Vigil's backlog included 37 projects at varying stages of installation and progress billing. The average project size was $74 thousand compared to 33 projects with an average value of $67 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Projects can include individual buildings or floors of multiple phase campus construction.

The gross margin percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 49% compared to 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Gross margin was slightly higher than management's usual expectations of margins of between 42% and 47%.

Expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $363 thousand, down 34% from $547 thousand for the period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to lower costs reflecting lower staffing levels.

Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $32 thousand, or $0.002 per share compared to a loss of $251 thousand, or $0.019 per share for the previous year. The profitable quarter relates largely to a decrease in staffing levels and related expenses. The Company expects to see staffing levels increase with bookings levels.

Summary Financial Information

Non-IFRS Measure

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, 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.
