Kelso Technologies Inc. AAR Approves Field Service Trials for New Top Ball Valve - Seite 2

Our KTBV development associates have agreed to meet all the requirements of the AAR field service trial testing. Their participation will assist in the completion of regulatory processes necessary to gain full AAR approvals. An AAR approved KTBV is expected to improve the potential of market adoption by numerous customers.

James R. Bond, CEO and President of the Company states that: “The Company continues to evolve the rail business model around customer needs as Kelso invests in co-engineered rail tank car equipment development. This approach along with an improved collaborative relationship with the AAR including our long standing M1003 manufacturing status improves the potential for additional revenue sources from sales of our newly developed products. Given stringent rail regulations and testing guidelines our R&D projects like the KTBV and KBOV including final AAR approvals will remain complex, time consuming and very expensive. The generation of new revenue streams from any of our new products remains unpredictable with no guarantee that commercial revenues will occur. During the KTBV field service trial we anticipate that the Company will be allowed to legally sell an AAR specified number of KTBV units commercially to support customers’ needs generating some early cash flows for Kelso. If and when fully adopted by the rail industry our KTBV along with our new standard profile KBOV are expected to significantly improve Kelso’s consolidated financial performance from rail related products.”
