(OTC Markets OTCQB: TXHG), a supplier of mining and rail products to the U.S. coal mining industry, today announced financial results for the full fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

Coal, on dollar cost basis per BTU remains one of the cheapest fuels in the energy industry. As we have previously stated, the recent ruling by the Supreme Court on certain regulations adopted by the EPA and affecting the coal mining industry’s economic growth, coupled with efficiencies and consolidation in the industry augur well for the future of our business.”
