OWINGS MILLS, Md., Nov. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: UUU) today announced results for its fiscal second quarter and six months ended September 30, 2020.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, sales increased approximately 78% to $6,457,295 compared to sales of $3,622,269 for the same period last year. The Company reported net income of $725,845, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(700,814) or $(0.30) per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.

For the six months ended September 30, 2020, sales increased approximately 18% to $9,398,063 versus $7,965,560 for the same period last year. The Company reported net income of $646,863, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1,309,768) or $(0.57), per basic and diluted share for the corresponding 2019 period.

Harvey Grossblatt, President and CEO of the Company stated: "The increase in sales for the quarter ending September 30, 2020 resulted from our ability to ship inventory during the COVID-19 pandemic to a large national retailer that we expect will continue to purchase product during the quarter ending December 31, 2020. Our September quarter sales growth also resulted from sales of two of our products to another large national retailer which purchased certain of our models as a 450 store test, which should be completed later this fiscal year. We anticipate that our sales growth will continue at least through the December quarter. Our financial results were also positively impacted by a reduction in our research and interest expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2020."
