OWINGS MILLS, Md., Aug. 20,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Security Instruments,
Inc. (NYSE Amex: UUU) today announced results for its fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2018.
The Company reported sales rose approximately 22% to
$4,045,996 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2018 versus $3,318,237 for the comparable period of last
year. The Company reported a net loss of $438,833, or $0.19
per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $543,663 or $0.24
per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.
"Our pattern of higher sales has continued into the June quarter
and we are anticipating this trend to continue. We do not know, at
this time, what affect, if any, the new tariffs imposed by the
Trump Administration on Chinese products will have on the
Company. To date, only our ground fault circuit interrupters,
which constitute only a small portion of our sales, have been
included in products subject to the new tariffs, and the next group
of tariffs are expected to be announced at the end of
September. We are monitoring the tariff situation and once
the final list is issued we will determine the strategies to
follow," said Harvey Grossblatt,
President and CEO.
