Commenting on corporate performance, Carl H. Guild, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of TCC, said,
“During the Company’s third quarter ended June 30, 2018, we achieved some improvement in our financial performance. We produced a
modest level of profitability on revenues that were higher than the previous quarter. As we have previously reported, TCC is
pursuing several international opportunities that are progressing toward the procurement phase with each project going through
extensive customer evaluations and testing. In certain cases we are tailoring the product performance to meet unique customer
requirements, which we believe provides a higher level of customer satisfaction and the potential for a long-term customer
relationship.”
