TX Holdings Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

ASHLAND, Kentucky – January 20, 2017 - TX Holdings, Inc. (OTC Markets OTCQB: TXHG), a supplier of mining and rail products to the U.S. coal mining industry, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. During the first quarter, the company’s revenues decreased due to overall lower sales demand and incurred a $60,657 net loss. Gross profit was $128,881 compared to $174,254 in the same period in the prior year.

Mr. Shrewsbury, the company’s CEO and Chairman, stated that “We are looking forward to a positive turn in the coal mining industry and therefore increasing sales and a return to profitability for us as our future is closely tied to the coal industry. Some mines have started to re-open and we have seen evidence of that as rail sales and components have shown an increase. The reason for this renewed optimism is a new U.S. government administration favorable to the coal mining industry. This administration understands the need for coal and the fact that is responsible for over 30% of this countries’ energy. The new administration has promised to do away with egregious regulations which cost the industry over twenty billion dollars yearly.”
