- Reduced Adjusted Operating Loss by 24% to $262 thousand (compared to $408 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2008)

- Recurring sales including service and maintenance billings and replacement products including wireless devices and communication equipment were up 30% to $213 thousand in Q3-FYE10 compared to $148 thousand over the three months ended December 31, 2008.

"While there have been some indications of improvements in the economy, the lending for new construction in seniors housing has remained stagnant" stated Troy Griffiths, President and CEO of Vigil Health Solutions Inc. "Despite this, with Vigil's versatile product line we have been successful in securing more retro-fit projects, and have seen solid growth in our recurring revenues."

Financial Results

Bookings for the quarter were $712 thousand, down 24% compared to $932 thousand in the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in bookings relates to significant new construction business in the United States being put on hold due to the recession and credit crisis.

At December 31, 2009, Vigil had a backlog of approximately $3.16 million (including $1.4 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) a 28% decrease compared to approximately $4.38 million (including $1.92 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at December 31, 2008. This is the result of more revenue being recorded than sales booked fiscal year to date. Further, with the current market conditions supporting retro-fit business over new construction there is a shorter installation cycle, which contributes to a lower backlog. Of the projects completed during the quarter, 76% of total project revenues were derived from retro-fit implementations.

Revenue for the three-months ended December 31, 2009 was $695 thousand compared to $1.25 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of 44%. The decrease in revenue reflects the impact to the senior living industry due to the economic downturn. 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 30% over the three months ended December 31, 2008.

The gross margin percentage for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was 42% compared to 48% for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The gross margin is in line with management's expectations of annual margins of between 42% and 47%.

Operating expenses for Q3FYE10 were $536 thousand, down 7% from $580 thousand in the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease relates to a decrease in insurance costs, lower payroll costs as a result of restructuring in certain departments and lower trade show expenses.

Losses for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 were $222 thousand, or $0.002 per share compared to income of $67 thousand, or $0.001 per share for the same period in the previous year.

Non-GAAP Measure

For the nine-months ended December 31, 2009, we are disclosing Adjusted Operating Loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplementary indicator of operating performance. We define Adjusted Operating Income as net income before, interest, income taxes, amortization, and currency gains or losses including derivative foreign exchange differences. We are presenting the non-GAAP 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-GAAP measure, may not be comparable to other companies and it is not intended as a substitute for GAAP measures.
