- Revenue was $641 thousand for the three-months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.37 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 53%. The decrease reflects lower bookings in FYE2010 and the timing in projects commissioned.

Financial Results
Revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2010 was $641 thousand compared to $1.37 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 53%. The decrease in revenue reflects both the reduced number and size of the projects completed during the quarter. Because Vigil records revenue using the completed contract method the number of projects completed this quarter directly reflects a lag related to the timing of the US economic downturn.
Bookings for the quarter were $955 thousand up 26% compared to $755 thousand in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase in bookings relates to an improvement in the United States economy, specifically, in funding availability for new construction in the seniors living industry as well as the Company’s investment in it sales program.
At June 30, 2010, Vigil had a backlog of approximately $3.1 million (including $1.64 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) a 14% increase compared to approximately $2.72 million (including $1.34 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at June 30, 2009. This increase is the result of booking more new projects than recorded as revenue during the quarter.
The gross margin percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 45% compared to 48% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The gross margin during the period was with in management’s expectations of margins of between 42% and 47%.
Expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $465 thousand down 22% from operating expenditures of $599 thousand for the same period ended June 30, 2009. The Company decreased expenditures in all areas. These decreases were the result of a combined strategic effort to focus resources where they would be best utilized.
Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 was $180 thousand, or $0.002 per share compared to a gain of $66 thousand, or $0.001 per share for the previous year. The increase in losses is primarily attributable to the lower in revenue in the period.

Non-GAAP Measure
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we are disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP 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-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.
