OWINGS MILLS, Md., Dec. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Security Instruments,
Inc. (NYSE Amex: UUU) today announced that it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 2016 which was not timely filed due to unforeseen delays in the completion of the
financial statements of the Company's 50%-owned Hong Kong Joint Venture. As previously reported, the Company had received a
letter from NYSE MKT LLC (the "Exchange") stating that the delayed filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 violated Exchange rules and that unless prompt corrective
action is taken, the Company could be subject to delisting. The Company believes that the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q satisfies the Exchange's requirements for prompt corrective action with respect to the Company's late Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported a 29% increase in sales to
$4,213,705 compared to sales of $3,278,225 for the same period last
year. The Company reported a net loss of $64,066, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $411,302 or
$0.18 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2016, sales increased 19% to $7,392,312 versus $6,214,715 for the same period last year. The Company
reported a net loss of $453,745, or $0.20 per basic and diluted
share, compared to a net loss of $1,188,379 or $0.51, per basic and
diluted share for the corresponding 2015 period.

4th quarter of the current fiscal year," said Harvey Grossblatt CEO of Universal Security Instruments Inc.
