TORONTO, April 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. ("UBS")
(TSX Venture: UBS) today reported its operating and financial results
for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, ended February 29, 2012.
Recent operating and financial highlights:
-
UBS continues to operate under the court approved Company Creditors
Arrangement Act.
-
For the three months ended February 29, 2012, UBS recorded revenue of
$434 from fees earned pursuant to the Look Management Services
Agreement.
-
UBS recorded a loss from operations of $1,245 for the three months ended
February 29, 2012, compared to income totaling $459 for the three
months ended February 28, 2011. The variance resulted from, among other
things, the reversal of restructuring award accruals totaling $1,297
during the second quarter of 2011 and higher operating costs, primarily
due to professional fees, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
-
At February 29, 2012, UBS held cash and cash equivalents of $542
compared to $945 at August 31, 2011. The decrease is due primarily to
the receipt of HST recoveries, offset by payment of ongoing legal and
administrative costs.
-
UBS received $2.7 million as their share of Look's return of capital
paid on March 13, 2012.
UBS, through its equity interest in Look, continues to offer
administrative services to Look and to examine opportunities to
maximize shareholder value.
