Universal Security Instruments Reports Third-Quarter Results

 

OWINGS MILLS, MD, February 13, 2014 – Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSE Amex: UUU) today announced its results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2013.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $367,191, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, on net sales of $3,738,914, compared to a net income of $23,257, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, on net sales of $4,753,736 for the same period last year. The primary reason for the decrease in the Company’s net income was lower Joint Venture earnings of $864,483 caused by lower sales to unaffiliated European customers.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2013, sales were $9,940,194 versus $11,269,901 for the same period last year. The Company reported a net loss of $2,945,939, or $1.29 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $557,534, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share. Included in the nine month results ending December 31, 2013, was a non-cash charge of $2,310,835 to provide an allowance against the Company’s deferred tax asset.

 

The Company continues to fund its new line of sealed smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, which will be available during the Spring/Summer timeframe. The Company expects this line to significantly increase sales and earnings in future periods due to various states mandating these types of alarms.
