TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/29/13 -- Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. ("UBS") (TSX VENTURE: UBS) today reported its operating and financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, ended February 28, 2013.
Recent operating and financial highlights (in thousands, except per share amounts) include:
-- UBS continues to operate under the court approved Company Creditors
Arrangement Act ("CCAA"). A trial was held in the Ontario Superior Court
of Justice between UBS and the Jolian Parties, which was completed on
March 1, 2013. The Court decision has not been issued.
-- On February 19, 2013, UBS sold 12,430 multiple voting shares and 14,630
subordinate voting shares in Look to 2092390 Ontario Inc. for $0.14 per
share, or $3,788. This transaction reduced the Company's holdings to a
19.8% economic interest in Look and, upon determination that the Company
no longer has significant influence, effective February 20, 2013,
accounts for its investment in Look using the fair value method.
-- UBS recorded a loss from operations of $1,454 for the three months ended
February 28, 2013, compared to $847 for the three months ended February
29, 2012. The 71.7% increase in 2013 resulted from, among other things,
the expiration of the Management Services Agreement with Look on May 19,
2012, and costs associated with advancing the CCAA claims process.
For further information on UBS' financial results, please review UBS' unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012.
