The asset sales have helped reduce equipment debt to less than $1 million.

Delta SBD chairman Gordon Galt said details of the sales would be more extensively detailed in the annual report.

“The asset sale program has reduced debt and costs and improved cash flow by about $500,000 per month,” he said.
