Summary of Quarterly Results (Post-Provision)(Unaudited)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2011 Q2 2011 Q1 2010 Q4 2010 Q3 2010 Q2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total revenue $ 850,559 $ 907,477 $ 917,190 $ 1,008,181 $ 1,027,718
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross profit $ 542,698 $ 622,413 $ 556,395 $ 613,210 $ 647,677
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EBITDA $ (214,904) $ 108,828 $ 99,150 $ 173,448 $ 160,476
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income $ (262,732) $ 19,623 $ 15,140 $ 80,978 $ 91,168
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings per share $ (0.008) $ 0.001 $ 0.000 $ 0.002 $ 0.003
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total assets $ 1,256,446 $ 1,535,032 $ 1,251,438 $ 1,395,468 $ 1,310,939
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total revenue decreased $56,918 (6%) from the first quarter of
2011 and $177,159 (17%) from the second quarter of 2010. This
decrease in revenue is due to the effects of the prolonged global
downturn, unusually harsh weather conditions in the first half of
2011 and a weaker US dollar.
Due to a $265,158 one-time, non-cash, impairment provision of
accounts receivable, the Company recorded a net loss for the second
quarter. The non-cash impairment provision relates to licensing
fees earned under a five-year contract signed in August 2006. The
Company is in ongoing discussions to collect the outstanding amount
but due to the length of time the receivables have been
outstanding, it has chosen to make a provision for the $265,158 at
this time. If any amount is recovered, a gain will be recorded in
the subsequent period.
"Our second quarter results have been overshadowed by a non-cash
impairment provision. This is unfortunate, however, it was the
prudent and conservative course of action to take. Absent this
one-time, non-cash impairment provision, our second quarter was our
eleventh straight profitable quarter since the fourth quarter of
2008," commented David MacLaren, President and CEO of VRX. "On the
digital asset management side of our business, we are very pleased
with the progress of MediaValet. We continue to receive great
coverage in the press and MediaValet was recently showcased at
Microsoft's 2011 Worldwide Partners Conference during Kim Aker's
keynote presentation. As MediaValet continues to gain momentum,
pioneering the cloud-based digital asset management industry, we
continue to invest in research and development, sales and marketing
and customer support."
