TRANSTECH INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS RESULTS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2009

 

     PISCATAWAY, N.J., May 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 quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The Company’s subsidiaries perform environmental services and generate electric power utilizing methane gas as fuel.

 

     Revenues for the electricity generation segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $111,000 versus $159,000 reported for the period in 2008.  The decrease in revenue was due to a decline in the price received per kilowatt generated.  Gross revenues of the environmental services segment for the period in 2009 and 2008 were $153,000 and $219,000, respectively. The environmental services were conducted on sites owned or leased by members of the consolidated group in both quarters and therefore eliminated in the calculation of net revenues.

 

     The cost of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $700,000 and $704,000, respectively, and other income was $139,000 and $121,000, respectively.

 

     No income tax benefits were recognized in the period for 2009 versus $144,000 reported for the period in 2008.

 

     Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $450,000, or $.15 per share, versus a net loss $280,000, or $.09 per share, for period in 2008.

 

     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.

 

     Presented below are the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 and comparative consolidated statements of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
