The Board of Structural Systems Limited advise that the full year result for the 2013 financial year is forecast to be in range of $3.2 million to $3.6 million NPBT. This equates to second half earnings of between $0.7 to $1.1 million. While earnings from mining services division have improved considerably since restructuring in the latter half of 2012 calendar year construction markets have afforded few opportunities over the last six months.

As a result the company has had to make significant redundancies particularly in its Victorian operations. The company's construction divisions have experienced a continued downturn in market conditions with project size and available margin all reducing. While the company has reduced its cost base where possible ultimately the lack of volume and available profit within the industry at present has impacted on the second half result.
