The Corporation's principal operating subsidiary, Maple Leaf Loading Ltd. ("Maple Leaf"), has encountered certain market and operational challenges during the fourth quarter of 2012, including the following:
Based on these factors, the Corporation anticipates a significant decline in the revenues of Maple Leaf as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. The Corporation expects that this will have a significant negative impact on the Corporation's earnings in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Brian Murray, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pro-Trans stated, "The Corporation is taking the necessary steps to deal with what is expected to be a decline in volumes to be transported by shedding affected assets and contractor services. In addition, repairs are ongoing to deal with a mechanical issue that is expected to be fully resolved by the beginning of 2013."
"Despite the current challenges in our traditional marketplace, we believe that there continue to be some excellent opportunities to further expand Maple Leaf's presence in the Canadian coal and other mining sectors", he added.
