EDMONTON - August 31, 2010 (www.Investorideas.com newswire) - S.Jorstad, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of United Protection Security Group Inc. (UPSG or the Company), (TSX-V:UZZ) announces that the Company has released its interim financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
S.Jorstad stated, "As we expected, we continue to regain profitability during Q2 following the unusual weakness of the 2009 results. Revitalizing the British Columbia business unit is our most important priority and we made solid progress executing a business improvement plan that includes improving pricing, capturing significant cost improvements and developing a marketing strategy to increase market share. Meanwhile, we are reaping the rewards from having a diversified customer portfolio as our electronic security division in Q2 delivered the same profit level as Q1-2010. Results this year are from organic growth only as no revenue stream have been realized from the acquisition of NoGo NoTow franchising relationship as it is still in the pilot project marketing phase. Several key relationships have been established and I expect promising results in the future from this acquisition." |
