Universal Security Instruments Reports First-Quarter Results

OWINGS MILLS, Md., Aug. 21, 2017

The Company reported sales of $3,318,237 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 versus $3,178,607 for the comparable period of last year.  The Company reported a net loss of $543,663, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $389,679 or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.

"The primary reason for the increase in operating loss was lower gross margins during the quarter resulting from more aggressive pricing to drive sales for the balance of the fiscal year.  With anticipated increased sales of our new sealed product, Management expects that our financial results should improve," said Harvey Grossblatt.
