Press Release.
The following is the text of the press release dated August 14, 2008
reporting Transtech Industries, Inc.'s results of operations for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008.
TRANSTECH INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS RESULTS
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
PISCATAWAY, N.J., August 14, 2008 - 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, 2008. 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, 2008 were $213,000 and $372,000, respectively,
versus $78,000 and $211,000 reported for the those periods in 2007. The
increase in revenue was due to higher fees received per kWh and less
downtime for repairs. Gross revenues of the environmental services segment
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 were $218,000 and
$437,000, respectively, versus $264,000 and $536,000 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, 2008 were $712,000 and $1,417,000, respectively, versus $625,000 and
$1,203,000 reported for the those periods in 2007. The net increase in
costs was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and general
operating expenses. The increase in professional fees reported for the
periods in 2008 was due in large part to the Company's ongoing challenge of
attempts by two municipalities to encumber the Company's real property
located in Edison Township, N.J. and Deptford Township, N.J. The Company
has filed suits to prevent such actions.
Other income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008
was $138,000 and $259,000, respectively, versus $136,000 and $250,000
reported for the those periods in 2007.
Income tax benefit for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2008 was $31,000 and $175,000, respectively, versus $146,000 and $256,000
reported for the those periods in 2007.
Net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 was
$330,000, or $.11 per share, and $610,000, or $.20 per share, respectively.
Net loss reported for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007
was $265,000, or $.09 per share, and $486,000, or $.16 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.
As previously disclosed, the Company has challenged an arbitrator's
award of $3.5 million of insurance proceeds, held in escrow since 2002, to
SCA Services, Inc. The arbitrator's ruling was affirmed by a District
Court and in December, 2005 the Company filed an appeal of the Court's
decision. The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower Court's decision March
24, 2008, and the Company's subsequent petition for a rehearing was denied
by the Court on June 24, 2008. The Company will not continue to challenge
the Court's decision. The amount held in escrow is not reflected on the
Company's financial statements; therefore the Court's decision will not
adversely impact the Company's financial statements.
Presented below are the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of June 30, 2008 and comparative consolidated statements of
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and
2007.
