NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES Pro-Trans Ventures Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PVI) today reported financial results for the Company's year ended December 31, 2013. "Due primarily to the current levels of commodity prices, last year was an extremely challenging year for our customers and a result, for our Company," stated Mr. Martin Carsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "The management team is grateful to all of our employees who worked extremely hard in spite of the difficult business circumstances but unfortunately, we still were not able to make the business profitable," added Mr. Carsky. 2013 HIGHLIGHTS -- Revenue for the year was $57.4 million as compared to $63.6 million in 2012 -- EBITDA for the year was $2.7 million as compared to $5.2 million in 2012 due primarily to higher operating expenses -- Comprehensive loss for the year was $8.0 million as compared to a profit of $0.6 million in 2012, primarily due to the write-down of $6.2 million in goodwill The full version of the Company's financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis can be viewed on the Company's website at www.protransventures.com, or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. OUTLOOK The Company was hampered by significantly higher repairs and maintenance costs and higher than expected equipment downtime during much of the fourth quarter and, as a result, haul volumes for the Brule operation were down from the third quarter. Also, the hauling requirements of two other customers were reduced which had an impact on the Company's overall cash flows. Lastly, while the Company was successful in negotiating a new contract with one of its customers, the new terms did not take effect until December 2013. As a result, the financial results for the fourth quarter were extremely poor and caused a significant strain on the Company's working capital. The operational situation was the same for the first quarter of 2014 and as a result, the strain on working capital continued. In addition, under the terms of one of its hauling contracts, the Company incurred financial penalties which further affected its profitability. Looking ahead to the next two quarters management believes that there will be an improvement in equipment availability as the weather improves, that haul volumes will increase for two of the three operations, and that no future hauling penalties will be incurred. That, together with the new contract in place for the third customer, should increase the prospects for future profitability. However, the news on April 15, 2014 from the Company's largest customer creates uncertainty as to what will happen in 2015. Management is currently assessing the potential impacts on the business and is having ongoing discussions with its customer. Lastly, the Company is still undercapitalized and continues to seek additional financing to remedy the situation. There are material uncertainties with respect to the ongoing discussions with the Company's lenders as a result of current period covenant violations and forecasted future period covenant violations. The successful future operations of the Company are dependent on the ability of the Company to secure sufficient funds through operations, bank financing, or other sources, and there are no assurances that such funding will be available when needed.
