Press Release.
The following is the text of the press release dated November 13, 2009
reporting Transtech Industries, Inc.'s results of operations for the quarter
ended September 30, 2009.
TRANSTECH INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS RESULTS
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
PISCATAWAY, N.J., November 13, 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 nine
month periods ended September 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 nine
month periods ended September 30, 2009 were $108,000 and $313,000,
respectively, versus $201,000 and $573,000 reported for the those periods
in 2008. The decrease in revenue reflects the 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 were $178,000 and
$509,000, respectively, versus $186,000 and $623,000 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 nine month periods ended
September 30, 2009 were $588,000 and $1,797,000, respectively, versus
$644,000 and $2,060,000 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 nine month periods ended September 30,
2009 was $197,000 and $652,000, respectively, versus $220,000 and $479,000
reported for the periods in 2008.
Income tax benefit recognized for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2009 was $162,000 versus $86,000 and $261,000 reported
for the periods in 2008, respectively.
Net loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009
was $121,000, or $.04 per share, and $670,000, or $.22 per share,
respectively. Net loss reported for the three and nine month periods in
2008 was $137,000, or $.05 per share, and $747,000, or $.25 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.
Presented below are the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of September 30, 2009 and comparative consolidated statements of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009
and 2008.
