  • For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2018, sales increased approximately 26% to $4,416,705 from $3,513,484 from the comparable period last year. USI reported a net loss of $535,926, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $1,055,351, or $0.45 per basic and diluted share for the comparable period of the previous year.

Harvey Grossblatt, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are starting to see improvement in our domestic operations with the 26% sales increase in the fourth quarter.  However, our Hong Kong Joint Venture continues to lose money and we have decided to close our Nan'an factory and move the production into our Fujian factory. The Nan'an facility has been listed for sale or lease. We have also added new retail customers and expect the improving sales trend to continue throughout fiscal 2019."
