                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT



Item 5.  Other Events and Required FD Disclosure.

     On Wednesday,  September 3, 2003, Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (the
"Company") was advised that Michael  Kovens,  a director and the former Chairman
and chief  executive  officer of the  Company,  had filed an action in Baltimore
County  Circuit  Court  (Case No.  C-03-9639)  against the Company and the other
directors seeking:  (i) to enjoin the Company from holding its Annual Meeting of
Stockholders  on  Monday,  September  8,  until Mr.  Kovens is able to  nominate
directors  for  election at the Annual  Meeting;  (ii) to require the Company to
provide Mr.  Kovens with certain  confidential  information  to which Mr. Kovens
claims he is entitled  under  Maryland  law;  (iii) to enjoin the  Company  from
voting  any shares  issued by the  Company  since Mr.  Kovens  was  replaced  as
Chairman and CEO; (iv) to void the employment  agreement between the Company and
its  president,  and to enjoin the Company from  enforcing a "Change of Control"
provision in the Company's  president's  employment  agreement;  (v) to void all
issuances by the Company of restricted  stock and options from and after October
1, 2001; (vi) to void any Bylaw amendments adopted by the Company from and after
October 1, 2001;  (vii) to enforce the exercise of an option by Mr. Kovens which
the Company  maintains has expired;  (viii) to void the election by the Company,
pursuant  to the  Maryland  General  Corporation  Law, to be governed by certain
provisions of Maryland law; and (ix) other unspecified relief.

          Following a hearing in the afternoon of September 3, the Court refused
to issue a temporary  restraining  order  requested by Mr.  Kovens to enjoin the
Company and the other  directors  from holding the  September 8 Annual  Meeting,
enforcing  the  "Change  of  Control"  provision  in the  Company's  president's
employment agreement, and taking other unspecified actions.

          The Company and the other defendants were served with the complaint on
Friday, September 5, 2003.

          The  Company has been  advised by counsel  that the action as filed is
without merit, and the Company intends to aggressively defend the action.
