TX Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
Ashland, Kentucky (PRWEB) December 16, 2016 -- TX Holdings, Inc. (OTC Markets PINK: TXHG), a supplier of mining and rail products to the U.S. coal mining industry, today announced financial results for its 2016 fiscal year. During the 2016 fiscal year, the company reported annual revenue of $2,128,278, a 31.5% decrease when compared to the same period the prior year. Net loss for fiscal year 2016 was $678,719, a loss increase of $306,210, when compared to a net loss of $372,509 for the prior year.
Mr. Shrewsbury, the company’s CEO and Chairman, stated that,
“Our 9/30/16 year was very disappointing. The coal mining industry was negatively impacted by increasingly damaging regulations and, an administration looking to basically shutting down the industry causing many mines to close prematurely. We are currently seeing a positive change resulting in some mines reopening and a slow but important increase in orders.
"The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects that U.S. electricity produced by coal will increase from its current 31%, which will help our sales and hopefully return our company to sustained profitability.
"Our current year consolidated financial results were negatively impacted by an inventory write-down and an increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts, representing a cumulative loss of $375,000 from our reported annual loss of $678.719.”
