FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward looking statements subject to various risk factors and uncertainties, which may cause the actual results, performances, cash flows or the ability to pay distributions to be materially different from the results, performances, cash flow or the ability to pay distributions expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.
Mr. Wadley makes the following statements:
"We are still seeing indications of an economic recovery that cause us to believe that 2010 will be a better year for the Partnership. The second quarter of 2010 was hampered by a warm and wet spring which reduced the demand for winter equipment and put many construction projects on hold as it was too wet to continue. Also some projects were put on hold due to the tightening of credit caused by the fear of a worsening economy related to the crisis in Europe. With those events behind us we are looking to the last half of the year with optimism.
The waste disposal and recycling business we acquired in October 2009 is continuing to grow. We are experiencing higher demand for our recycling and disposal services as we continue to roll out innovative new products and services. Our 4-Way customers have embraced this additional product line as they are seeking more single source solutions for their construction needs. We look forward to continuing to expand in this sector."
