Financial Results

Revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2013 was $894 thousand compared to $673 thousand in the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 33%. Project revenue made up 53% 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 $1.60 million up 58% compared to $1.01 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2012.

At June 30, 2013 Vigil had a backlog of approximately $3.43 million (including $1.28 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) a 47% increase compared to approximately $2.34 million (including $684 thousand in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2013, Vigil's backlog included 33 projects at varying stages of installation and progress billing with an average size of $104 thousand. There were 30 projects with an average size of $78 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2012.

The gross margin percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 53% compared to 49% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. In addition to the large number of one off sales that usually have better margins due to the lower labour component, there were a number of projects with gross margin above management's usual expectations of between 42% and 47%. This was due to a number of factors including lower travel expenses and exclusion of the usually low margin subcontractor labour from the majority of projects.

Expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $463 thousand, up 18% from operating expenditures of $393 thousand for the period ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to increased staffing costs.

Earnings for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 were $21 thousand, or $0.001 per share compared to a loss of $61 thousand, or $0.005 per share for the previous year. The profitable quarter resulted from the increase in both revenue and margins.

Non-IFRS Measure

For the three months ended June 30, 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.
