Universal Security Instruments Reports Second-Quarter Results
OWINGS MILLS, Md., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSEAMEX: UUU) today announced its results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2012.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $218,193, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, on net sales of $3,456,813, compared to a net loss of $309,941, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, on net sales of $3,307,514 for the same period last year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2012, sales were $6,516,165 versus $6,508,816 for the same period last year. The Company reported a net loss of $580,791, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $309,360, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share.
"Our second quarter sales grew from both the comparable and previous quarter. However, operating results were negatively impacted by continued advertising costs to support our New Gen product line, partially offset by higher gross profit margins. In addition, lower earnings by our Joint Venture further impacted our results for the period," said Harvey Grossblatt, CEO of Universal.
The Company reported that it has purchased 11,990 shares of stock under its Stock Repurchase Plan. The total buyback to date is 75,128 shares at an average price of $5.32. The book value of the Company at September 30, 2012 was $11.06.
