The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Universal Security Instruments, Inc.

Of the 2,387,887 shares entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting, 2,095,106 shares (or 87.74% of the total shares) were represented at the meeting.  The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on each matter is required to elect directors, approve the Plan and authorize selection of an auditor.

The nominees submitted for election as directors were Ira F. Bormel and Cary Luskin for a term of two years each, and Harvey B. Grossblatt for a term of three years, all as described in the Proxy Statement distributed to stockholders in connection with the meeting.  The following are the voting results (in number of shares) with respect to the election of directors:
