OWINGS MILLS, Md., Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSE MKT: UUU) (the "Company") announced today that, on September 22, 2016, the Company received a letter from NYSE MKT LLC (the "Exchange") reiterating that the
Company is not in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Exchange's Company Guide (the "Company Guide") due to the
Company's failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016
and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The letter also states that the Exchange has reviewed the Company's previously submitted plan of compliance (the "Plan") and
determined to accept the Plan and grant a Plan period through October 12, 2016 (the "Plan Period"),
during which time the Company will be subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the
Plan. The letter from the Exchange advised that if the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of
the Company Guide by October 12, 2016 with respect to the delayed Annual Report on Form 10-K and
the delayed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan
Period, then the Exchange staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. The Company is working diligently to
file the late Annual Report on Form 10-K by September 28, 2016 and the late Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q by October 12, 2016 and to regain compliance with the Company Guide.
