OWINGS MILLS, Md., Sept. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal
Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSE Amex: UUU) today reported results
for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2015.
Universal reported sales of $2,936,490 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 versus $2,514,385 for the comparable period of last
year. While operating losses decreased from
$737,967 in the 2014 quarter to
$481,662 in the 2015 quarter on
improved margins, the Company reported a net loss of $777,077, or $0.34
per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $742,849 or $0.32
per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.
"The Company received two additional approvals for its sealed
smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm products to complete its line
of ionization smoke alarms and will start to deliver these two
models in the quarter ending September
30, 2015. The primary reason for the increase in
sales and higher gross margins during the current quarter was due
to the delivery of our new sealed products and we expect this trend
to continue. Our Joint Venture continues to experience
diminished gross profit margins due to higher labor and material
costs. We anticipate that the Joint Venture will be
able to improve its gross profit margins later this fiscal year,"
said Harvey Grossblatt, Universal
CEO.
