Mr. Rod Wallace, the company's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The profit reported for the quarter is the result of enumerable improvements in the operation of our Marshall, Texas manufacturing facility (our subsidiary, TieTek LLC is the only ISO 9001 certified composite tie manufacturer) and the dedication of all of our employees who work diligently to produce our composite ties and support our operations.

"We believe that our customers are beginning to recognize the value proposition of our ties. The durability, safety and profitability of our ties has been demonstrated by more than ten (10) years of use in customer applications in over 2 billion (2,000,000,000) gross tons of load on individual ties in commercial rail lines. Our ties are expected to last around 40 years compared to wood ties that in some areas, particularly damp areas, of the United States may only last 7 to 10 years. Our new website at http://www.tietek.com contains testimonials of numerous satisfied customers. We are proud that the Chicago Transit Authority recently installed almost 63,000 of our ties under its track improvement project for its Blue Line running from Chicago O'Hare Airport to downtown Chicago. Our website contains links that describe the CTA's use of our ties. The fact that our ties can be used interchangeably with wood ties makes them entirely compatible with wood ties already installed in the tracks. TieTek's ties are being adopted by an increasing number of users, major rail lines, transit authorities and industrial users.

"The Company has moved from the start-up phase to a true operating entity. In so doing, our Company is demonstrating that protecting the environment and operating a profitable business are not mutually exclusive. While many companies are searching for ways to demonstrate sustainability, our company is in the business of sustainability. In fact, production of 3,300 of our TieTek(TM) ties (approximately one mile of track) uses 2 million plastic bottles, 9 million plastic bags and 10,000 scrap vehicle tires and the production and use of these ties eliminates the need to cut down approximately 750 trees.

"Our challenge is now and will continue to be to improve our production, and expand our customer base so that we can increase our profits even further thus benefiting our environment, our customers, our shareholders, our debt holders and our employees."
