Universal Security Instruments Reports First-Quarter Results

 

OWINGS MILLS, Md. August 19, 2020 - Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSE Amex: UUU) today announced results for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020.

 

The Company reported that sales declined approximately 32.3% to $2,940,768 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, versus $4,343,291 for the comparable period of last year. The Company reported a net loss of $78,982, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $608,954, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.

 

“The Company’s sales were lower than the comparable quarter in the prior year due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has caused many of our customers to reduce their purchases since many had to close their operations for varying lengths of time. The Company reported a net loss of $78,892 which was substantially less than the loss of $608,954 for the comparable quarter last year. The main reasons for the decrease in operating loss were increased margins on sales, decreased tariffs, lower interest cost, and elimination of losses arising from our 50% interest in the Hong Kong Joint Venture that was sold effective March 31, 2020. The Company has received orders in the September quarter which we expect will increase our sales over the comparable September 2019 quarter, which had sales of $3,622,269, and we expect will improve our operating results. ” said Harvey Grossblatt - President and CEO.
