TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 23, 2013) - Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. ("UBS") (TSX VENTURE:UBS) today reported its operating and financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, ended November 30, 2012.
Recent operating and financial highlights (in thousands of dollars except per share amounts) include:
- UBS continues to operate under the court approved Company Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA").
- UBS recorded a loss from operations of $683 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, compared to income of $110 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The variance resulted from, among other things, the expiration of the Look MSA on May 19, 2012, and professional fees incurred as a result of the CCAA claims process currently underway.
- As at November 30, 2012, UBS held cash and cash equivalents of $1,350 compared to $1,635 as at August 31, 2012. The decrease was due primarily to the loss from operations and the settlement of accounts payable.
- On January 11, 2013, UBS agreed to sell 12,430 multiple voting shares and 14,630 subordinate voting shares of Look to 2092390 Ontario Inc., a corporation controlled by Mr. Andrew Kim, subject to the approval of the Court. If approved, the transaction would be for approximately half of UBS' interest in Look.
UBS, through its equity interest in Look, continues to examine opportunities to maximize shareholder value.
