OUTLOOK
Kelso has continued to generate consistent earnings growth over the past two years. Going forward we have positioned the Company to capitalize on the high demand for rail tank car equipment anticipated to occur over the next ten years. Our success has been fueled by our policy of building the quality of our business through the demonstrated merits and economic value of our products. We have serviced the industry''s needs thoroughly and carefully which has led to the trust and confidence of regulators, customers and other stakeholders to meet their technology needs.
Regulatory bodies are finalizing new design criteria for safety enhancements to be incorporated in the production of new tank cars and retrofitted on to existing railroad tank cars carrying flammable liquids such as crude oil and ethanol. Rule changes that directly impact Kelso include the use of a high capacity pressure relief valve that protects against a rise in internal pressure resulting from fire and to provide for faster release of the product. In addition they will require bottom outlet valves that are configured to prevent the operating handle from inadvertently opening the bottom outlet in the event of an accident.
With these new regulatory developments Kelso is expected to continue its steady business growth. Based on our knowledge of the market and expertise we believe that there are very large revenue opportunities for Kelso to capitalize on over the next ten years.
Although not part of the new regulations we are also working with industry specialists in crude oil loading terminal technologies on adoption strategies for our one-bolt manway technology. Terminal operators can expect to ship 30% more oil from existing facilities through our higher speed loading and uniform sealing technology improving their netback profits on shipments of crude oil. The case for utilization of our one-bolt manway is economically compelling. We are now able produce manways at required commercial levels and adoption strategies are being organized with our customers which should reflect in 2015 revenue gains.
Our financial health and welfare remains very strong. We are listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE Markets Exchange improving our business credibility and our ability to access growth capital in the future. Our assets remain unencumbered and we carry no interest-bearing debt. We are internally financed from operations and our working capital has risen to exceed $10,000,000. From these financial resources we continue to invest in new product development; independent lab testing and engineering services; new patent applications; broader marketing initiatives and more streamlined production capacity.
Our goal is to continue to demonstrate our value as a creative innovator and reliable supplier of the products required by the railroad industry and to branch out into other transportation sectors such roadway and marine applications. Although we have challenges ahead we are extremely optimistic about our position in the industry and the prospects of our future business development. We will continue to build the quality of our brand with the goal of growing earnings, dividends and the corporate value of Kelso on behalf of our shareholders.
