Press Release.
The following is the text of the press release dated August 14, 2009
reporting Transtech Industries, Inc.'s results of operations for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009.
TRANSTECH INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS RESULTS
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
PISCATAWAY, N.J., August 14, 2009 - Robert V. Silva, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Transtech Industries, Inc. (OTC BULLETIN
BOARD:TRTI) announced the results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2009. The Company's subsidiaries perform
environmental services and generate electricity utilizing methane gas as
fuel.
Revenues for the electricity generation segment for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2009 were $94,000 and $205,000, respectively,
versus $213,000 and $372,000 reported for the those periods in 2008. The
decrease in revenue was due to a decline in the price received per kilowatt
generated as the kilowatt output was comparable for the periods. Gross
revenues of the environmental services segment for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2009 were $178,000 and $331,000, respectively,
versus $218,000 and $437,000 reported for the those periods last year. The
environmental services performed in the periods were conducted on sites
owned or leased by members of the consolidated group and therefore
eliminated in the calculation of net revenues.
The cost of operations for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2009 were $509,000 and $1,209,000, respectively, versus $712,000 and
$1,417,000 reported for the periods in 2008. The net decrease in costs was
primarily due to a decrease in professional fees and general operating
expenses.
Other income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009
was $316,000 and $455,000, respectively, versus $138,000 and $259,000
reported for the periods in 2008.
No income tax benefit was recognized for the periods in 2009 while
benefits of $31,000 and $175,000 were reported for the three and six month
periods in 2008, respectively.
Net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was
$99,000, or $.03 per share, and $549,000, or $.18 per share, respectively.
Net loss reported for the three and six month periods in 2008 was
$330,000, or $.11 per share, and $610,000, or $.20 per share, respectively.
The Company and certain subsidiaries previously participated in the
waste recovery and waste management industries. The Company continues to
incur administrative and legal expenses on matters related to its past
participation in those industries. In addition, the Company may incur
significant remediation and post-closure costs related to sites of past
operations in excess of amounts accrued for such costs.
During July 2009, appeal courts rejected the Company's challenge of
decisions made in two separate matters. During 2007 the Company brought
suit to obtain an accounting of $16 million it had contributed toward the
remediation of the SCP Superfund Site. During July 2009, an appeals court
affirmed the lower court's 2007 denial of the Company's request. During
2008 the Township of Edison in New Jersey brought suit to commence
condemnation proceedings on a 0.48 acre portion of riverfront property
owned by the Company. During July 2009 an appeals court affirmed the lower
court's 2008 decision in favor of the Township. The property had been
valued by the Township's appraiser at $17,000. The Company's challenge of
that valuation continues. The Company is evaluating its remaining options
with respect to these matters.
Presented below are the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of June 30, 2009 and comparative consolidated statements of
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and
2008.
