Financial Highlights for the Quarter:

Financial Highlights for the Year:

David Deacon, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the quarter, the major accomplishment is that the Company added almost $20,000,000 to its backlog, taking it to $31,250,224 as at September 30^th 2014, our highest level ever. This is very encouraging and, while some of the orders were expected in the second quarter and got delayed, 'better late than never' definitely applies to this good news. This sets up the Company for a very strong revenue expectation for 2015 relative to any previous year, although our gross margins will see some pressure due to the competitive nature of our current bids."

He continued, "While the year over year comparison of revenue and profitability shows us to be behind the 2013 results, the recent strong uptick in sales had a positive impact on the quarterly results and we appear to be well on our way back to 2013 revenue levels and better. The strong performance for the quarter supports our belief that the Company's go-forward revenue and profitability are coming back in line with our longer-term growth expectations after being hampered by the slightly slower ramp up in new order entry earlier in the year. The increase in bid activity in the second quarter continued into the third quarter and it is worthwhile to note that of the $24 million in new orders received, a large portion of these orders came from our Tanks group. This is a business area that has been a strategic focus this year as we continue diversifying our revenue stream. With the increase in backlog to $31.2 million, the Company is now in a position to look to execute other elements of its growth strategy."

The Company will hold a conference call to discuss the financial results on November 24, 2014 at 4:00 pm Eastern time. The call-in numbers are (416) 204-9641 or 1(877) 314-1234; participant code 9530930.

Non-IFRS Measures
The term "EBITDA" is a financial measure used in this document which is not a standard measure under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Company's method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, STT's measure of EBITDA, as presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA refers to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, interest expense, accretion expense, special charges and recoveries, stock compensation expense and income tax expense. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure of cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, income taxes, and distribution. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA, as a non-IFRS measure, is not an alternative to measures under IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as an indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return.

The term "backlog" is a financial measure used in this document which is not a standard measure under IFRS. The Company's method of calculating backlog may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, STT's measure of backlog, as presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Backlog is the value of revenue remaining to be earned from purchase orders received from customers. The projects represented in backlog are executed according to a schedule agreed with each customer, which could range in duration from one month to eighteen months. Revenues are earned on a percentage of completion basis. Management uses this measure to i) monitor the Company's success in securing new orders, and ii) gauge the likelihood of meeting revenue objectives in future periods.

Investors are cautioned that backlog, as a non-IFRS measure, is not an alternative to measures under IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as an indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return.
