Universal Security Instruments Reports Third-Quarter Results
OWINGS MILLS, MD. February 13, 2013: Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: UUU) today announced earnings for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012.
For the three months ended December 31, 2012, net sales were $4,753,736 as compared to net sales of $3,186,197 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, a 49% increase. The Company reported net income of $23,257, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the 2012 period, compared to net income of $67,226, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. Included in the quarter’s result was a $300,000 valuation reserve for deferred taxes.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, net sales were $11,269,901 versus $9,695,013 for the 2011 period. The Company reported a net loss of $557,534, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to net loss of $242,134, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. The primary reason for the increased loss was a $300,000 valuation reserve for deferred taxes.
“We are pleased with the sales growth achieved this quarter, primarily from our New Gen products, and with the Company’s return to profitability in the third fiscal quarter. Also, our Hong Kong Joint Venture’s net sales and net income grew during the third fiscal quarter; both sequentially and from the comparable quarter,” said Harvey Grossblatt, CEO of Universal.
