Universal Security Instruments Reports First-Quarter Results
 
OWINGS MILLS, MD, August 12, 2011 – Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSE Amex: UUU) today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Universal reported sales of $3,201,302 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus $3,681,421 for the comparable period of last fiscal year. The Company reported net income of $581, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, versus $281,867, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for same period last year. The Company’s book value as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was $11.31 and $11.09, respectively.

“Our sales and earnings for the current quarter have been negatively impacted by slower than anticipated approvals from testing agencies for certain products in the North American market, which affect our operations as well as the operations of our Hong Kong Joint Venture. We expect to obtain these approvals later this fiscal year,” said Harvey Grossblatt, CEO of Universal.
