INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT 

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

 

As was discussed in previous filings made by Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (the “Company”), in connection with the now terminated Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Company and Infinite Reality, Inc., the Company’s Board of Directors has, from time to time, considered a number of factors that greatly impact the Company’s future prospects and shareholder value, including the following: (a) the Company’s business, operational and financial prospects, and the limited upside value available to sharehokders if the Company continues as an independent stand-alone business; (b) the competitive landscape in the Company’s market, the need for capital to generate significant growth and the Company’s limited sources for such capital; (c) current import and supply chain challenges, the increased costs resulting from such challenges, and the projected duration of the current supply chain issues; and (d) the Company’s management and succession planning.

 

While the Company continues to generate sufficient capital to satisfy the ongoing cash requirements for its current operations, management believes that access to additional funding or other resources, or identifying the right strategic business combination, would allow the Company to drive long term value for its shareholders while taking advantage of sales growth opportunities that the Company seeks to execute.

 

In addition, the Company continues to be approached from time to time with business combination proposals both within and outside of the Company’s area of business, and management believes that it would be advantageous to the Company and its shareholders to explore strategic alternatives as the Company pursues additional sources of capital.

 

There is no deadline or definitive timetable set for completion of the strategic alternatives process. There can be no assurance any proposal will be made or accepted, any agreement will be executed, or any transaction will be consummated, in connection with this review. The Company does not intend to make further announcements regarding the review of strategic alternatives unless and until the Board approves a specific transaction or otherwise determines further disclosure is appropriate or necessary in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and the New York Stock Exchange.
