Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 24, 2012) - Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. ("UBS") (TSX VENTURE:UBS) today reported its operating and financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, ended May 31, 2012.

Recent operating and financial highlights (in thousands of dollars except per share amounts) include:

  • On March 13, 2012, UBS received $2,739 of the return of capital that Look paid to the holders of its shares equivalent to $0.05 for each outstanding multiple voting share and subordinate voting share.
  • UBS continues to operate under the court approved Company Creditors Arrangement Act.
  • For the three months ended May 31, 2012, UBS recorded revenue of $377 from fees earned pursuant to the Look Management Services Agreement, which expired on May 19, 2012.
  • UBS recorded a loss from operations of $774 for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $1,711 for the three months ended May 31, 2011. The variance resulted from, amongst other things, lower operating costs, primarily due to lower professional fees during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
  • At May 31, 2012, UBS held cash and cash equivalents of $2,544 compared to $945 at August 31, 2011. The increase is due primarily to the receipt of $2,739 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.
