The company placed $887,279 of equipment into service which was under construction at the beginning of the six month period ended September 30, 2010. Also, on August 14, 2009, the Company entered into a warrant exchange agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 3,595,472 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock to certain investors in exchange for warrants to purchase 9,320,000 shares of common stock. The warrants carried exercise prices ranging from $0.44 to $0.65 per share. Effective September 11, 2009, the warrants were surrendered, and the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of designation relating to its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to increase the number of designated shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and issued 3,595,472 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the warrant exchange agreement.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

TechPrecision Corporation (TechPrecision) is a Delaware corporation organized in February 2005 under the name Lounsberry Holdings II, Inc. The name was changed to TechPrecision Corporation on March 6, 2006. TechPrecision is the parent company of Ranor, Inc. (Ranor), a Delaware corporation. TechPrecision and Ranor are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

The Company manufactures metal fabricated and machined precision components and equipment. These products are used in a variety of markets including the alternative energy, medical, nuclear, defense, industrial, and aerospace industries.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

On February 24, 2006, TechPrecision acquired all the outstanding stock of Ranor in a transaction which is accounted for as a recapitalization (reverse acquisition), with Ranor being treated as the acquiring company for accounting purposes. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TechPrecision and Ranor as well as a variable interest entity, WM Realty. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, consolidated statements of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The March 31, 2010 Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements. Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified between line items for comparative purposes. The reclassifications did not affect the Company’s cash flows from operating activities or financial position.

The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 8 of the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We account for fair value of financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (FASB) authoritative guidance , which defines fair value, and establishes a framework to measure fair value and the related disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. The FASB establishes a fair value hierarchy used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories: Level 1: Inputs based upon quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Inputs that are management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instruments’ valuation.

In addition, we will measure fair value in an inactive or dislocated market based on facts and circumstances and significant management judgment. We will use inputs based on management estimates or assumptions, or make adjustments to observable inputs to determine fair value when markets are not active and relevant observable inputs are not available.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, prepaid and accrued expenses, and notes payable, as presented in the balance sheet, approximate fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents

Holdings of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are considered to be cash equivalents. The deposits are maintained in a large regional bank and the amount of federally insured cash deposits was $250,000 as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

Accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. There was no bad debt expense recorded for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Inventories

Inventories - raw materials is stated at the lower of cost or market determined principally by the first-in, first-out method.

Notes Payable

We account for all notes that are due and payable within one year as short-term liabilities.

Long-lived Assets

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are accounted for on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. The amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the improvement. Betterments and large renewals, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized whereas maintenance and repairs and small renewals are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives are: machinery and equipment, 7-15 years; buildings, up to 30 years; and leasehold improvements, 10-20 years.

The accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets requires an assessment of the recoverability of our investment in long-lived assets to be held and used in operations whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Such assessment requires that the future cash flows associated with the long-lived assets be estimated over their remaining useful lives. An impairment loss may be required when the future cash flows are less than the carrying value of such assets.

Repair and maintenance activities

The Company incurs maintenance costs on all of its major equipment. Costs that extend the life of the asset, materially add to its value, or adapt the asset to a new or different use are separately capitalized in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Leases

Operating leases are charged to operations as paid. Capital leases are capitalized and depreciated over the term of the lease. A lease is considered a capital lease if one of four criteria are satisfied: 1) the lease contains an option to purchase the property for less than fair market value, 2) transfer of ownership at the end of the lease, 3) the lease term is 75% or more of estimated economic life of leased property, and 4) present value of minimum lease payments is at least 90% of fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception of the lease.

Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

The Company measures the fair value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by the amount of cash that was received for their issuance and determined that the convertible preferred shares and the accompanying warrants issued are equity instruments. In the case of the August 2009 warrant exchange, the fair value of the warrants exchanged for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was used to measure the fair value of such stock. The Company had a sufficient number of authorized shares, there is no required cash payment or net cash settlement requirement and the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had no right higher than the common stockholders other than the liquidation preference in the event of liquidation of the Company. Although the Company had an unconditional obligation to issue additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if EBITDA per share was below the targeted amount, the certificate of designation relating to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock does not require the Company to issue shares that are registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

The Company’s warrants were excluded from derivative accounting because they were indexed to the Company’s own unregistered common stock and are classified in stockholders’ equity. The majority of warrants were exchanged for preferred stock on August 14, 2009. The remaining 112,500 warrants expired on September 1, 2010.

Shipping Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

Selling, General, and Administrative

Selling expenses include items such as business travel and advertising costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. General and administrative expenses include items for Company’s administrative functions and include costs for items such as office supplies, insurance, telephone, board fees and corporate consulting costs as well as payroll services.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees. The Company measures stock based compensation cost at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes the cost as expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

Earnings per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated using net income divided by diluted weighted-average shares. Diluted weighted-average shares include weighted-average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of potential common stock issuable in respect of convertible preferred stock, warrants and share-based compensation were calculated using the treasury stock method.

Revenue Recognition and Costs Incurred

Revenue and costs are recognized on the units of delivery method. This method recognizes as revenue the contract price of units of the product delivered during each period and the costs allocable to the delivered units as the cost of earned revenue. When the sales agreements provide for separate billing of engineering services, the revenues for those services are recognized when the services are completed. Costs allocable to undelivered units are reported in the balance sheet as costs incurred on uncompleted contracts. Amounts in excess of agreed upon contract price for customer directed changes, constructive changes, customer delays or other causes of additional contract costs are recognized in contract value if it is probable that a claim for such amounts will result in additional revenue and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Revisions in cost and profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts requiring the revision become known and are estimable. The unit of delivery method requires the existence of a contract to provide the persuasive evidence of an arrangement and determinable seller’s price, delivery of the product and reasonable collection prospects. The Company has written agreements with the customers that specify contract prices and delivery terms. The Company recognizes revenues only when the collection prospects are reasonable.

Adjustments to cost estimates are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined and are reflected as reductions of the carrying value of the costs incurred on uncompleted contracts. Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts consist of labor, overhead, and materials. Work in process is stated at the lower of cost or market and reflect accrued losses, if required, on uncompleted contracts.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of financial accounting and reporting for income taxes required by FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred income taxes reflect the tax impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recognized for tax purposes. Temporary differences giving rise to deferred income taxes consist primarily of the reporting of losses on uncompleted contracts, the excess of depreciation for tax purposes over the amount for financial reporting purposes, and accrued expenses accounted for differently for financial reporting and tax purposes, qualified domestic production activities, and net operating loss carry-forwards. According to FASB ASC 740-270-25, Intraperiod Tax Allocation, tax expense related to interim period ordinary income is computed at an estimated annual effective tax rate and the taxes related to all other items are individually computed and recognized when the items occur. The tax effects of losses that arise in the early portion of a fiscal year are recognized only when the benefits are expected to be either realized during the year or recognized as a deferred tax asset at the end of the year. Interest and penalties are included in general and administrative expenses.

Variable Interest Entity (VIE)

Conforming to the authoritative FASB guidance for VIEs, under ASC 810 (see Note 8 for more information related to the VIE), the Company has consolidated WM Realty, a variable interest entity which entered into a sale and leaseback contract with the Company in 2006. The creditors of WM Realty do not have recourse to the general credit of TechPrecision or Ranor.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (ASC 2010-20). The amendments in this update require additional disclosure about the credit quality of financing receivables, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class. The disaggregation of information is based on how allowances for credit losses are developed and how credit exposure is managed. The amendments in this Update affect all entities with financing receivables, excluding short-term trade accounts receivable or receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value. ASC 2010-20 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010. The Company has determined that the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued update No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 855-10 for an entity that is an SEC filer and is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption of this update on February 24, 2010 did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update amends subtopic 820-10 to require 1) a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers, and 2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis rather than as one net number. This update also provides clarification about existing disclosures about the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 2009. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity on Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

In January 2010, the FASB issued update No. 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this update affect the accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary, and expands the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets within the scope of Topic 810-10. The amendments clarify, but do not necessarily change, the scope of current U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, the FASB issued update No. 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statements 167. In September2009, the FASB amended authoritative guidance for the manner in which entities evaluate whether consolidation is required for VIEs. A company must first perform a qualitative analysis in determining whether it must consolidate a VIE, and if the qualitative analysis is not determinative, must perform a quantitative analysis. Further, the guidance requires that companies continually evaluate VIEs for consolidation, rather than assessing based upon the occurrence of triggering events, and also requires enhanced disclosures about how a company’s involvement with a VIE affects its financial statements and exposure to risks. The Company has adopted this update as of April 1, 2010 and it did not have any impact on the Company’s accounting for its VIE.

In October 2009, the FASB issued update No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which provides guidance for identifying separate deliverables in a revenue-generating transaction where multiple deliverables exist, and provides guidance for allocating and recognizing revenue based on those separate deliverables. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on April 1, 2011 and is required to be applied prospectively to new or significantly modified arrangements. The Company will assess the impact this guidance may have on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued update No. 2009-01 “Topic 105—Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—amendments based on—Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168—The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of GAAP ”, includes Statement 168 in its entirety, and establishes the Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SEC rules and interpretive releases are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This guidance modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. The guidance was effective for the Company as of September 30, 2009, and did not impact the Company’s financial statements.

On February 24, 2006, Ranor entered into a loan and security agreement with Sovereign Bank (bank). Pursuant to the agreement, as amended, the bank provided Ranor with a secured term loan of $4,000,000 (Term Note) and also extended to Ranor a revolving line of credit of up $2,000,000 (Revolving Note). On January 29, 2007, the loan and security agreement was amended, adding a capital expenditure line of credit facility of $3,000,000 (CapEx Note). On March 29, 2010, the bank agreed to extend to Ranor a loan facility (Staged Advance Note) in the amount of up to $1,900,000 for the purpose of acquiring a gantry mill machine. Significant terms associated with the Sovereign debt facilities are summarized below.

Sovereign Bank Secured Term Note:

The Term Note issued on February 24, 2006 has a term of 7 years with an initial fixed interest rate of 9% which converts to a variable rate on February 28, 2011. From February 28, 2011 until maturity the note will bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.5%, payable on a quarterly basis. Principal of $142,857, plus interest is payable in quarterly installments, with final payment due on March 1, 2013.

The Term Note is subject to various covenants that include the following: the loan collateral comprises all personal property of Ranor, including cash, accounts receivable inventories, equipment, financial and intangible assets. The company must also maintain a ratio of earnings available to cover fixed charges of at least 120% of the fixed charges for the rolling four quarters, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter. Additionally the Company must also maintain an interest coverage ratio of at least 2:1 at the end of each fiscal quarter. Ranor’s obligations under the notes to the bank are guaranteed by TechPrecision.

As of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. The ratio of earnings to cover fixed charges as of September 30, 2010 was 205% and the interest coverage ratio for the three months then ended was 9:1. In the event of default, the lending bank may choose to accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding under the Note and, under certain circumstances, the bank may be entitled to cancel the facility. If the Company were unable to obtain a waiver for a breach of covenant and the bank accelerated the payment of any outstanding amounts, such acceleration may cause the Company’s cash position to deteriorate or, if cash on hand were insufficient to satisfy any payment due, may require the Company to obtain alternate financing to satisfy any accelerated payment obligation.

Sovereign Bank Revolving Note:

The Revolving Note bears interest at a variable rate determined as the Prime Rate, plus 1.5% annually on any outstanding balance. The borrowing limit on the Revolving Note has been limited to the sum of 70% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus 40% of eligible inventory up to a maximum borrowing limit of $2,000,000. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010. The Company pays an unused credit line fee 0.25% on the average unused credit line amount in the previous month. The facility was renewed with the bank on July 30, 2010 and the maturity date was changed to July 31, 2011.

Sovereign Bank Capital Expenditure Note:

The initial borrowing limit under the Capital Expenditure Note was $500,000 and has been amended several times resulting in a borrowing limit of $3,000,000 available under the facility as of November 30, 2009. The facility was subject to renewal on an annual basis. On November 30, 2009, the Company elected not to renew this facility when it terminated because the Company plans to finance any future equipment financing needs on a specific basis rather than under a blanket revolving line of credit. Under the facility, the Company was permitted to borrow 80% of the original purchase cost of qualifying capital equipment. The current rate of interest is based on LIBOR plus 3%. Principal and interest payments are due monthly based on a five year amortization schedule. There was $750,759 outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2010.

Sovereign Bank Staged Advance Note:

The bank may loan to Ranor, during a one year period expiring on March 29, 2011, amounts up to $1,900,000 for the purpose of acquiring a gantry mill machine. The machine will serve as collateral for the loan. The total aggregate amount of advances under this agreement should not exceed 80% of the actual purchase price of the gantry mill machine. All advances provide for a payment of interest only monthly through February 28, 2011, and thereafter no further borrowings will be permitted under this facility. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 4%. Beginning on April 1, 2011, Ranor is obligated to pay principal and interest sufficient to amortize the outstanding balance on a five year schedule. On March and September 29, 2010, Ranor drew down equal amounts of $556,416 under this facility to finance the initial deposit on the purchase of the mill machine. At September 30, 2010, there was $1,112,832 outstanding under this facility. TechPrecision has guaranteed the payment and performance from and by Ranor.

Amalgamated Bank Mortgage Loan:

The mortgage loan is an obligation of WM Realty. The mortgage has a term of 10 years, maturing November 1, 2016, and carries an annual interest rate of 6.85% with monthly interest and principal payments of $20,955. The amortization is based on a 30 year term. WM Realty has the right to repay the mortgage note upon payment of a prepayment premium of 5% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment is made during the first two years, and declining to 1% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment is made during the ninth or tenth year.

In connection with the mortgage financing of the real estate owned by WM Realty, Mr. Andrew Levy, a director and principal shareholder, executed a limited guaranty. Pursuant to the limited guaranty, Mr. Levy personally guaranteed the lender the payment of any loss resulting from WM Realty’s fraud or misrepresentation in connection with the loan documents, misapplication of rent and insurance proceeds, failure to pay taxes and other defaults resulting from his or WM Realty’s misconduct.

Capital Lease:

During 2007, the Company also leased certain office equipment under a non-cancelable capital lease. This lease will expire in 2012, and future minimum payments under this lease for annual periods ending on September 30, 2011 and 2012 are $14,124 and $9,329, respectively. Interest payments included in the above total $1,190 and the present value of all future minimum lease payments total $22,263. Lease payments for capital lease obligations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $6,956.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

For the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded Federal and State income tax expense of $933,116 and $366,703, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 37.3% and 23.5%, respectively. The difference between the provision for income taxes and the income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% and the State of Massachusetts income tax rate of 9.5% was due primarily to differences in the lives and methods used to depreciate and/or amortize our property and equipment, deductions for domestic production activities, share based compensation, and net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Based on the weight of available evidence, the Company’s management has determined that it is more likely than not that the current deferred tax assets will be realized. At September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $314,110. For the period ended September 30, 2010, the total decrease in the valuation allowance was $4,642.

At of September 30, 2010, the Company’s federal net operating loss carry-forward was approximately $1.9 million. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss carry-forward of Ranor and TechPrecision will expire in 2025 and 2027, respectively. Furthermore, because of over fifty percent change in ownership as a consequence of the reverse acquisition in February 2006 as a result of the application of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the amount of net operating loss carry forward used in any one year in the future is substantially limited.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Sale and Lease Agreement and Intercompany Receivable

On February 24, 2006, WM Realty borrowed $3,300,000 to finance the purchase of Ranor’s real property. WM Realty purchased the real property for $3,000,000 and leased the property on which Ranor’s facilities are located pursuant to a net lease agreement. The property was appraised on October 31, 2005 at $4,750,000. The Company advanced $226,808 to WM Realty to pay closing costs, which advance was repaid when WM Realty refinanced the mortgage in October 2006. WM Realty was formed solely for this purpose; its partners are stockholders of the Company. The Company considers WM Realty a variable interest entity as defined by the FASB, and therefore has consolidated its operations into the Company.

On October 4, 2006, WM Realty placed a new mortgage of $3.2 million on the property and the then existing mortgage of $3.1 million was paid off. The new mortgage has a term of ten years, bears interest at 6.85% per annum, and provides for monthly payments of principal and interest of $20,955 (See Note 6). In connection with the new mortgage, Andrew Levy, a director and principal shareholder, and the managing member of WM Realty, executed a limited guarantee. pursuant to which Mr. Levy guaranteed the lender the payment of any loss resulting from WM Realty’s fraud or misrepresentation in connection with the loan documents, misapplication of rent and insurance proceeds, failure to pay taxes and other defaults resulting from his or WM Realty’s misconduct.

The only assets of WM Realty available to settle its obligations are $62,232 of cash and real property acquired from Ranor, Inc. at a cost of $3,000,000 less $403,468 of accumulated depreciation. The real property has a carrying cost of $1,104,235 on TechPrecision’s consolidated balance sheet. There is also a loan receivable due from a related party for $30,000. The only liability of WM Realty is the mortgage payable to Amalgamated bank with the carrying cost of $3,058,119. Amalgamated Bank, the sole creditor of WM realty, has no recourse to the general credit of TechPrecision.

Distribution to WM Realty Members

WM Realty had a deficit equity balance of $424,813 on September 30, 2010. For the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, WM Realty had net income of $79,593 and $64,060, and capital distributions of $93,748 and $92,248, respectively.

NOTE 9 - CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock

The Company has 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock and the board of directors has broad power to create one or more series of preferred stock and to designate the rights, preferences, privileges and limitation of the holders of such series. The board of directors has created one series of preferred stock - the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was initially convertible into one share of common stock. As a result of the failure of the Company to meet the levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, the conversion rate changed, and, at December 31, 2009, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 1.3072 shares of common stock, with an effective conversion price of $0.218. Based on the current conversion ratio, there were 12,629,489 common shares underlying the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

In addition to the conversion rights described above, the certificate of designation for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provides that the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or its affiliates will not be entitled to convert the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock or exercise warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the investor and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the shares of common stock outstanding after such exercise or conversion. This provision cannot be amended.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the investor has the right of first refusal in the event that the Company seeks to raise additional funds through a private placement of securities, other than exempt issuances. The percentage of shares that investors may acquire is based on the ratio of shares held by the investor plus the number of shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the investor to the total of such shares.

No dividends are payable with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and no dividends are payable on common stock while Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding. The common stock will not be redeemed while preferred stock is outstanding.

The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have no voting rights. However, so long as any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or any of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

Upon any liquidation the Company is required to pay $0.285 for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The payment will be made before any payment to holders of any junior securities and after payment to holders of securities that are senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Company had 9,661,482 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

On September 1, 2007, the Company entered into a contract with a third party pursuant to which the Company issued three-year warrants to purchase 112,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share. Using the Black-Scholes options pricing formula assuming a risk free rate of 5%, volatility of 28.5%, a term of three years, and the price of the common stock on September 1, 2007 of $0.285 per share, the value of the warrant was calculated at $0.0001 per share issuable upon exercise of the warrant, or a total of $11. Since the warrant permits delivery of unregistered shares, the Company has the control in settling the contract by issuing equity. The cost of warrants was added as additional paid in capital. At September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, there were 112,500 warrants issued and outstanding. These warrants lapsed on September 1, 2010 as they were not exercised prior to the expiry of the warrant term.

Common Stock

The Company had 90,000,000 authorized common shares at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, and there were 14,283,346 shares of common stock outstanding at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

On September 30, 2010, we issued 52,500 shares in connection with the exercise of a non-qualified stock option and received proceeds of $15,500 on October 1, 2010 as a result of this transaction.

NOTE 10 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

In 2006, the directors adopted, and the stockholders approved, the 2006 long-term incentive plan (Plan) covering 1,000,000 shares of common stock. On August 4, 2010, the plan was amended to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares. The Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based incentives to employees, including officers, and consultants. The Plan is to be administered by a committee of not less than two directors each of whom is to be an independent director. In the absence of a committee, the plan is administered by the board of directors. Independent directors are not eligible for discretionary options.

On July 1, 2010, the Company granted stock options to two directors to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.76 per share, pursuant to the plan provision following the third anniversary date of each director’s first election to the board. Fifty percent of the shares will vest in six months and eighteen months from the grant date, respectively.

On August 4, 2010, the Company granted stock options to its CEO and CFO to purchase 1,000,000 and 150,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $0.70 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. The options will vest in equal amounts over three years on the anniversary of the grant date.

On September 27, 2010, pursuant to the plan, the Company granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.82 per share to a new independent director. The grant provided for 30,000 shares to vest immediately on the grant date and 10,000 shares each to vest on September 26, 2011 and 2012.

Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the closing stock prices at the grant date and the weighted average assumptions specific to the underlying options. Expected volatility assumptions are based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of five year U.S. Treasury issues. The expected life of the option was estimated at one half of the contractual term of the option and the vesting period. The assumptions utilized for option grants during the period ranged from 85% to 100% for volatility and a risk free interest rate of 1.31% to 1.80%. At September 30, 2010 there were 905,841 shares of common stock available for grant under the Plan.

The following table summarizes information about options for the most recent annual income statements presented:

	Number Of		Weighted Average		Aggregate Intrinsic		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life
	Options		Exercise Price		Value		(in years)
Outstanding at 3/31/2010		850,827	$	0.558
Granted		1,210,000	$	0.705
Exercised		(52,500)	$	0.295
Outstanding at 9/30/2010		2.008,327	$	0.654	$	444,146	7.71
Outstanding but not vested 9/30/2010		1,379,500	$	0.696	$	242,250	9.53
Exercisable and vested at 9/30/2010		628,827	$	0.562	$	211,896	3.21

As of September 30, 2010 there was $530,866 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over the next three years. The total fair value of shares vested during the period was $97,412.

NOTE 11 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company maintains bank account balances, which, at times, may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with these accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

At September 30, 2010, there were receivable balances outstanding from three customers comprising 70% of the total receivables balance; the largest balance from a single customer represented 52% of our receivables balance, while the smallest balance from a single customer making up this group was 7%. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $234,999 in connection with a single customer who has failed to make any payments for goods purchased during the 2009 calendar year. The Company is pursuing legal action to recover the balance due, however, it cannot be determined at this time if those legal collection efforts will be successful.

The Company has been dependent in each year on a small number of customers who generate a significant portion of our business, and these customers change from year to year. To the extent that the Company is unable to generate orders from new customers, it may have difficulty operating profitably. The following table sets forth information as to revenue derived from those customers who accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:


		September 30, 2010					September 30, 2009
Customer		Dollars		Percent			Dollars		Percent
	A	$	7,786,671		54	%	$	9,735,412		53	%
	B	$	3,379,274		23	%	$	3,082,592		17	%

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS

Operating Leases

Ranor, Inc. has leased its manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities in Westminster, Massachusetts from WM Realty, a variable interest entity, for a term of 15 years, commencing February 24, 2006. For the six months ended on September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively the Company’s rent expense was $225,000. Since the Company consolidated the operations of WM Realty, a variable interest entity, the rental expense is eliminated in consolidation, the building is carried at cost and depreciation is expensed. The annual rent is subject to an annual increase based on the increase in the consumer price index.

The Company has an option to purchase the real property at fair value and an option to extend the term of the lease for two additional terms of five years, upon the same terms. The minimum rent payable for each option term will be the greater of (i) the minimum rent payable under the lease immediately prior to either the expiration date, or the expiration of the preceding option term, or (ii) the fair market rent for the leased premises. The Company intends to exercise its purchase option under the lease during fiscal year 2011.

On February 24, 2009, we entered into a lease for 2,089 square feet of office space in Centreville, Delaware. The lease has a three-year term and provides for initial rent of $2,500 per month, escalating to $3,220 per month in year two and $3,395 per month in year three of the lease. The Company has the option to renew this lease for a period of three years at the end of the lease term.

Future minimum lease payments required under operating leases in the aggregate, at September 30, 2010, totaled $56,843. The totals for each annual period ended September 30 are: 2011 - $39,868 and 2012 - $16,975.

The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on July 22, 2010, that further details Mr. Molinaro’s employment terms.

The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers. Such agreements, the terms of which expire at various times through February, 2012, provide for minimum salary levels, adjusted annually, as well as for incentive bonuses that are payable if specified company goals are attained. The aggregate annual commitment for future salaries at September 30, 2010, excluding bonuses, was approximately $745,000.

NOTE 13 - EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS also includes the effect of dilutive potential common shares.

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 4, 2010 TechPrecision announced that it is completing the formation of a wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE), Wuxi Critical Mechanical Components Co., Ltd., to meet growing demand for local manufacture and machining of components for a large customer in the Solar Energy industry. The formation of this WFOE was made in consultation with a current TechPrecision customer, and is based on the significant growth in demand for Solar and Nuclear Energy components in Asia, and especially China. This customer provided TechPrecision with a conditional $2.9 million in initial purchase orders for components, which will include materials transferred from Ranor to Wuxi Critical Mechanical Components Co., Ltd. to be machined in China and delivered to the customer.

During the third quarter of this fiscal year, the WFOE will commence commercial operations. Accordingly the results of this wholly owned subsidiary will be reported on a consolidated basis in future reporting periods.

Overview

We offer a full range of services required to transform raw material into precise finished products. Our manufacturing capabilities include: fabrication operations which include cutting, press and roll forming, assembly, welding, heat treating, blasting and painting; and machining operations which include CNC (computer numerical controlled) horizontal and vertical milling centers. We also provide support services to our manufacturing capabilities: manufacturing engineering (planning, fixture and tooling development, manufacturability), quality control (inspection and testing), materials procurement, and production control (scheduling, project management and expediting).

All manufacturing is done in accordance with our written quality assurance program, which meets specific national and international codes, standards, and specifications. Ranor holds several certificates of authorization issued by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors. The standards used are specific to the customers’ needs, and our manufacturing operations are conducted in accordance with these standards.

During the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, demand for our services was relatively strong. However, recessionary pressures began to affect the requirements of our customers in October 2008. GT Solar, which has been our largest customer for each of the past three fiscal years, slowed production significantly during the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and in April 2009, canceled the majority of its outstanding purchase orders. Beginning in December 2009, we began to see an improvement in the volume of requests for quotes and order placements from our customers, including our largest customer and reported that our backlog had reached $21.5 million as of March 31, 2010. We ended the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 (Fiscal 2011) with an order backlog of $26.4 million. We expect to deliver this backlog during the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012. Included in our backlog at September 30, 2010 were $7.7 million of purchase orders from GT Solar.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated by a small number of customers. For the six months ended September 30, 2010, our largest customer, GT Solar, accounted for 54% of our revenue and BAE Systems accounted for 23% of our revenue. In the year ended March 31, 2010, GT Solar accounted for approximately 52% of our revenue, and BAE Systems accounted for approximately 14% of our revenue.

The Company historically has experienced, and continues to experience, customer concentration. In any year, it is likely that five or six significant customers (albeit not always the same customers from year to year) will account for 5% to 60% individually and up to 86% in the aggregate of our total annual revenues. A significant loss of business from the Company’s largest customer or a combination of several of our significant customers could result in lower operating profitability and/or operating losses if the Company is unable to replace such lost revenue from other sources. A material, sustained downturn in revenue could make it more challenging for the Company to meet debt covenants under its existing long-term debt agreements. If the Company defaulted on such covenants and was unable to cure the defaults or obtain waivers, the lending bank could choose to accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding under various debt facilities and, under certain circumstances, the bank may be entitled to cancel the facilities. If the bank chose to accelerate our obligations, such acceleration may cause the Company’s cash position to deteriorate or, if cash on hand were insufficient to satisfy any payment due, may require the Company to obtain alternate financing.

Our contracts are generated both through negotiation with the customer and from bids made pursuant to a request for proposal. Our ability to receive contract awards is dependent upon the contracting party’s perception of such factors as our ability to perform on time, our history of performance, our financial condition and our ability to price our services competitively. Although some of our contracts contemplate the manufacture of one or a limited number of units, we are seeking more long-term projects with a more predictable cost structure. For the six months ended September 30, 2010, our sales and net income was $14.5 million and $1.7 million, as compared to sales of $18.4 million and net income of $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Our gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was 33.7% as compared to 17.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2009, reflecting increased sales volume and higher capacity utilization during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. A majority of the sales and production volume during the first six months of FY 2011 was attributed to new orders from GT Solar, our largest customer, as well as higher volumes of business from several other customers.

Because our revenues are derived from the sale of goods manufactured pursuant to a contract, and we do not sell from inventory, we must constantly seek new contracts. There may be a time lag between our completion of one contract and commencement of work on another contract. During this period, we will continue to incur overhead expense but with lower revenue resulting in lower operating margins. Furthermore, changes in either the scope of a contract or the delivery schedule may impact the revenue we receive under the contract and the allocation of manpower.

Although we provide manufacturing services for large governmental programs, we usually do not work directly for agencies of the United States government. Rather, we perform our services for large governmental contractors and large utility companies. However, our business is dependent in part on the continuation of governmental programs which require the services we provide.

Growth Strategy

Our strategy is to leverage our core competence as a manufacturer of high-precision, large-scale metal fabrications and machined components to expand our business into markets such as clean tech, alternative energy and medical devices, which have shown increasing demand and which we believe could generate higher margins.

Diversifying Our Core Industries

We believe that rising energy demands along with increasing environmental concerns are likely to continue to drive demand in the alternative energy industry, particularly the solar, wind and nuclear power industries. Because of our capabilities and the nature of the equipment required by companies in the alternative energy industries, we intend to focus our services in this sector. We also expect to market our services for medical device applications where customer requirements demand strict tolerances and an ability to manufacture complex heavy equipment.

As a result of both the increased prices of oil and gas and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear power may become an increasingly important source of energy. In January 2010, the Obama administration increased the level of government-backed debt guarantees from $18 billion to $56 billion as an incentive to support the construction of new nuclear plants in the U.S. We did not derive any revenue from the nuclear power industry during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 but nuclear-related revenues were $1.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2010 (fiscal 2010). Currently, nuclear-related orders constituted approximately 5.8% of our September 30, 2010 backlog. Because of our manufacturing capabilities, our certification from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and our historic relationships with suppliers in the nuclear power industry, we believe that we are well positioned to benefit from any increased activity in the nuclear sector. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop any significant business from the nuclear industry.

In addition to the nuclear energy industry, we are also exploring potential business applications in the medical industry. These efforts include the development and fabrication of radioactive isotopes transportation/storage solutions and the development and fabrication of critical components for proton beam therapy machines designed to be utilized in the treatment of cancer. Net sales from our proton beam therapy customer accounted for $1.7 million and $3.7 million or 6% and 9.7% of our total net sales for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the six month period ending September 30, 2010, net sales to our proton beam therapy customer were $791,943 or 5.4% of sales for the six month period then ended.

Expansion of Manufacturing Capabilities

In addition to the possible expansion of our existing manufacturing capabilities, we may, from time to time, pursue opportunistic acquisitions to increase and strengthen our manufacturing, marketing, product development capabilities and customer diversification. On January 8, 2010, the Company issued a purchase order for the purchase of a gantry mill machine totaling $2.3 million. This purchase commitment represents an investment necessary to refresh and upgrade the Company’s fleet of manufacturing equipment and capabilities. The Company intends to borrow up to 80% of the purchase price in order to finance these payments. Under this purchase commitment, the Company is obligated to make three equal payments beginning in January 2010 with the final payment to be made upon final delivery approximately one year from the purchase order date. The Company made its first payment in fiscal 2010 and its second payment of $695,520 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010. On March 29, 2010 and September 30, 2010, Ranor drew down equal amounts of $556,416 under this facility to finance the purchase of the gantry mill machine.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including all notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We rely on historical experience and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable in making our estimates. Actual financial results of the operations could differ materially from such estimates. There have been no significant changes in the assumptions, estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from the assumptions, estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our 2010 audited financial statements.

Revenue Recognition and Costs Incurred

We derive revenues from (i) the fabrication of large metal components for our customers; (ii) the precision machining of such large metal components, including incidental engineering services; (iii) the installation of such components at the customers’ locations when the scope of the project requires such installations; and (iv) the procurement of raw materials necessary for the fabrication and machining of components.

Adjustments to cost estimates are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined and are reflected as reductions of the carrying value of the costs incurred on uncompleted contracts. Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts consist of labor, overhead, and materials. Work in process is stated at the lower of cost or market and reflects accrued losses, if required, on uncompleted contracts.

Variable Interest Entity

We have consolidated WM Realty, a variable interest entity from which we lease our real estate.

Income Taxes

We provide for federal and state income taxes currently payable, as well as those deferred because of temporary differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable. The effect of the change in the tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income taxes to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s federal net operating loss carry-forward was approximately $1.9 million. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss carry-forward of Ranor and TechPrecision will expire in 2025 and 2027, respectively. Furthermore, because of the over fifty-percent change in ownership as a consequence of the reverse acquisition in February 2006, the amount of net operating loss carry forward used in any one year in the future is substantially limited.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations are affected by a number of external factors including the availability of raw materials, commodity prices (particularly steel), macro economic factors, including the availability of capital that may be needed by our customers, and political, regulatory and legal conditions in the United States and foreign markets.

Our results of operations are also affected by a number of other factors including, among other things, success in booking new contracts and when we are able to recognize the related revenue, delays in customer acceptances of our products, delays in deliveries of ordered products and our rate of progress in the fulfillment of our obligations under our contracts. A delay in deliveries or cancellations of orders would cause us to have inventories in excess of our short-term needs, and may delay our ability to recognize, or prevent us from recognizing, revenue on contracts in our order backlog.

During the six months ended September 30, 2010, we benefited from renewed orders sourced by our largest customer, GT Solar which began placing new orders in January 2010, trailing their significant order cancellation in April 2009. Sales of finished goods to GT Solar during the six months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $7.8 million as compared to $0.8 million in finished good sales and an inventory transfer of $8.9 million totaling $9.7 million during the same period in the prior year. During the fourth quarter for the year ended March 31, 2010, we began to see signs of recovery within the solar sector in the form of new production orders placed by our largest customer and a build up in our sales order backlog. During the six months ended September 30, 2010, our backlog increased from $21.5 million at March 31, 2010 to $26.4 million as of September 30, 2010. The September 30, 2010 backlog included $7.7 million in orders from GT Solar. The comparable backlog at September 30, 2009 was $14.4 million and included $2.4 million in orders from GT Solar.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

The following table sets forth information from our statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, in dollars and as a percentage of revenue (dollars in thousands):

											Changes Three Months

Net income	$	856		9	%	$	1,321		9	%	$	(465)		(35)	%

Net Sales

Net sales decreased by $6.7 million, or 45%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 when compared to the same period last year. However, sales to the Company’s largest customer during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, included a one-time $8.9 million inventory transfer triggered by that customer’s April 2009 cancellation of open purchase orders. Adjusting for this inventory transfer in the prior year, sales increased by $2.2 million or 36% to $8.4 million from $6.2 million on a comparative basis primarily driven by higher demand in markets served by the Company’s largest customer. We believe that such an adjustment is useful because the inventory transfer completed during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 is unlikely to recur in the near term. The table below highlights components of net sales for the three month periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009 (dollars in millions):

	2010		2009
Inventory transfer to largest customer	$	--	$	8.9
Other sales to largest customer		4.1		0.8
Sales to all other customers		4.3		5.4
Total net sales	$	8.4	$	15.1

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Our cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by $6.7 million to $5.8 million, or 54%, from $12.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. The decrease in the cost of sales was principally due to the impact of the $8.9 million inventory transfer to our largest customer in the prior year period. Without the inventory transfer, the cost of sales would have increased due to the impact of higher manufacturing activity as a result of increased shipments to customers. Gross profit was $2.6 million or 31% of net sales compared with $2.6 million or 17% of net sales for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The improvement in gross profit over the prior year is due to improved capacity utilization during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The primary driver for the improvement in capacity utilization was increased production for the Company’s largest customer, GT Solar, during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to almost no production for that customer during the corresponding prior year period. The non-recurring inventory transfer completed in August 2009 carried a gross margin that was lower than we generally obtain for our processing services and therefore reduced overall gross margin for the quarter ending September 30, 2009.

Operating Expenses

Our payroll and related costs were $506,582 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with $331,302 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The 53% or $175,280 increase in payroll and related costs was due to a return to full staffing levels at Ranor driving an increase of $57,825 as well as executive and business development headcount increases at the corporate level contributing to an increase of $117,455 compared with lower staffing levels during the second quarter of the prior year.

Professional fees increased to $167,094 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $110,411 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase of $56,683 or 51% was primarily attributable to an increase in legal costs associated with SEC filings, employment agreements, amendments to the Company’s stock option plan and investigation and structuring of a strategic initiative.

Selling, administrative and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $447,735 compared to $226,573 for three months ended September 30, 2009, representing an increase of $221,162 or 98% over the prior year. The increase was due primarily to consulting fees incurred in the Company’s search efforts for a full time CEO and an independent board of director. Both of these search efforts were concluded during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by 3% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $110,450 compared with $107,390 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to slightly higher average levels of long-term debt during the period.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded tax expense of $502,014 compared with a tax expense for Federal and state income tax of $550,388 in the comparable period last year. The estimated annual effective income tax rate for the current fiscal year is 37%. The difference between the provision for income taxes and the income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% and state income tax rate of 8.75% was due primarily to differences in the lives and methods used to depreciate and/or amortize our property and equipment, deductions for domestic production activities, timing differences of expenses related to share based compensation and the expected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, our net income was $855,628 or $0.06 and $0.04 per share basic and diluted, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to net income of $1,320,634 or $0.09 per share basic and $0.06 fully diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

The following table sets forth information from our statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, in dollars and as a percentage of revenue (dollars in thousands):

Net Sales

Net sales decreased by $3.9 million, or 21%, to $14.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010. However, sales to the Company’s largest customer during the second quarter ended September 30, 2009, included an $8.9 million inventory transfer triggered by that customer’s April 2009 cancellation of its then open purchase orders. Sales without this one-time inventory transfer in the prior year increased by $5 million or 53% to $14.5 million from $9.5 million on a comparative basis, primarily driven by higher demand in markets served by the Company’s largest customer. We believe that such an adjustment is useful because the inventory transfer completed during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 is unlikely to recur in the near term. Sales to the Company’s largest customer during the six month period ended September 30, 2010 were $7.8 million compared to $0.8 million during the comparable six month period ended September 30, 2009. The table below highlights components of net sales for the six month periods ending September 30, 2010 and 2009 (dollars in millions):

	2010		2009
Inventory transfer to largest customer	$	--	$	8.9
Other sales to largest customer		7.8		0.8
Sales to all other customers		6.7		8.7
Total Net sales	$	14.5	$	18.4

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Our cost of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by $5.6 million or 37% to $9.6 million from $15.2 million for the comparative period in fiscal 2010. The decrease in the cost of sales was principally due to the impact of the $8.9 million inventory transfer to our largest customer in the prior year. Excluding the inventory transfer, the cost of sales would have increased by $3.2 million or 33% over the prior year. Gross profit was $4.9 million or 34% of net sales compared with $3.2 million or 17% of net sales for the six month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The improvement in gross profit over the prior year is due to improved capacity utilization during the six month period ended September 30, 2010. The primary driver for the improvement in capacity utilization was increased production for the Company’s largest customer, GT Solar, during the six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to almost no production for that customer during the corresponding prior year period. The inventory transfer, which was completed in August 2009, carried a gross margin that was lower than we generally obtain for our processing services and therefore reduced overall gross margin for the six month period ending September 30, 2009.

Operating Expenses

Our payroll and related costs were $906,593 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with $724,669 for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The $181,924 or 25% increase in payroll and related costs was due primarily to increased headcount in the executive and business development functions and a return to full staffing levels at Ranor during fiscal year 2011.

Professional fees increased to $344,744 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $186,623 for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The increase of $158,120 or 84% was primarily attributable to an increase in legal costs associated with SEC filings, employment agreements, stock option plan changes and due diligence costs on a strategic opportunity.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2010 were $888,018 compared to $524,994 for six months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $363,024 or 69%. Primary components of the increase were $239,000 in consulting expenses in connection with our CEO and board of directors search efforts which concluded during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and $97,412 of share based compensation expense related to stock options vesting during the six month period ended September 30, 2010.

Income Taxes

For the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded tax expense of $933,116 compared with a recorded tax expense for Federal and state income tax of $366,703 in the comparable periods last year. The estimated annual effective income tax rate for the current fiscal year is 37.3%. The difference between the provision for income taxes and the income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% and the state income tax rate of 8.75% was due primarily to differences in the lives and methods used to depreciate and/or amortize our property and equipment, deductions for domestic production activities, timing differences of expenses related to share based compensation and the expected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, our net income was $1.7 million or $0.12 and $0.08 per share basic and fully diluted, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to net income of $1.2 million or $0.09 per share basic and $0.06 fully diluted for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2010, we had working capital of $14.6 million as compared with working capital of $13.3 million at March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $1.3 million or 9%. The following table sets forth information as to the principal changes in the components of our working capital:

(dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2010		March 31, 2010		Change Amount		Percentage Change
Cash and cash equivalents	$	9,236	$	8,774	$	462		5	%
Accounts receivable, net		2,756		2,693		63		2	%
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts		4,333		2,750		1,583		58	%
Raw material inventories		232		299		(67)		(23)	%
Other current assets		341		404		(63)		(16)	%
Deferred tax asset		314		304		10		3	%
Accounts payable		951		445		506		114	%

Current maturity of long-term debt		813		809		4		--	%
Progress billings in excess of cost of uncompleted contracts		279		56		223		395	%

Cash provided by operations was $1.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with cash used in operations of $1.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in cash flows from operations is primarily the result of an increase in net income, deferred taxes and share based compensation when compared to the same period in the last fiscal year. An increase in manufacturing activity also led to a higher balance of costs allocable to undelivered units incurred on uncompleted projects during the period. Accounts payable and deferred revenue have increased since March 31, 2010 reflecting an increase in manufacturing activity and purchases during the period.

We invested $720,071 in new equipment and received proceeds of $60,000 from the sale of equipment during the six months ended September 30, 2010. On January 8, 2010, the Company issued a purchase order for the purchase of a gantry mill totaling $2.3 million. The Company made its first payment in fiscal 2010 and its second payment of $695,520 in the period ended September 30, 2010. The Company is committed to make one more payment during fiscal 2011, with final payment due upon delivery which is anticipated to occur during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company intends to borrow up to 80% of the purchase price in order to finance this purchase. This purchase commitment represents an investment necessary to refresh and upgrade the Company’s fleet of manufacturing equipment and capabilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $66,511 for the period ended September 30, 2010 as compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $521,042 for the period ended September 30, 2009. The Company borrowed nearly $1 million under its capital expenditure facility in the prior year to finance equipment placed in service during the prior year. We paid down $405,993 of principal on our debt and capital lease obligations during the six months ended September 30, 2010, and our consolidated VIE WM Realty distributed $93,748 to its partners. During the second quarter, we borrowed an additional $556,416 under a capital equipment line of credit to finance the second payment due on the gantry mill noted above.

All of the above activity resulted in a net increase in cash of $0.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 compared with a $0.9 million cash decrease for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

Debt Facilities

At September 30, 2010, WM Realty had an outstanding mortgage of $3.1 million on the real property that it leases to Ranor. The mortgage has a term of ten years, maturing November 1, 2016; bears interest at 6.85% per annum; and provides for monthly payments of principal and interest of $20,955. The monthly payments are based on a thirty-year amortization schedule, with the unpaid principal being due in full at maturity. WM Realty has the right to prepay the mortgage note upon payment of a prepayment premium of 5% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment is made during the first two years, and declining to 1% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment is made during the ninth or tenth year.

We have a loan and security agreement with Sovereign Bank, dated February 24, 2006, pursuant to which we borrowed $4.0 million on a term loan basis in connection with our acquisition of Ranor. As a result of amendments to the loan and security agreement, we added a $2.0 million revolving credit facility, which was renewed on July 30, 2010 for an additional one-year term. At September 30, 2010 there were no borrowings under the revolving note and maximum available under the borrowing formula was $2.0 million.

The term note issued on February 24, 2006 has a term of seven years with an initial fixed interest rate of 9%. The interest rate on the term note converts from a fixed rate of 9% to a variable rate on February 28, 2011. From February 28, 2011 until maturity the term note will bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.5%, payable on a quarterly basis. Principal is payable in quarterly installments of $142,857 plus interest, with a final payment due on March 1, 2013. The balance outstanding on the term note as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010 was $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The term note is subject to various covenants that include the following: the loan collateral comprises all personal property of the Company, including cash, accounts receivable inventories, equipment, financial and intangible assets. The Company must also maintain a ratio of earnings available to cover fixed charges of at least 120% of the fixed charges for the rolling four quarters, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter. Additionally, we must maintain an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.1 at the end of each fiscal quarter. Ranor’s obligations under the notes to the bank are guaranteed by TechPrecision.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as the ratio of earnings available to cover fixed charges was 205% and the interest coverage ratio was 9:1 at September 30, 2010. In the event of default (which default may occur in connection with a non-waived breach), the lending bank may choose to accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding under the Term Note and, under certain circumstances, the bank may be entitled to cancel the facility. If the Company were unable to obtain a waiver for a breach of covenant and the bank accelerated the payment of any outstanding amounts, such acceleration may cause the Company’s cash position to deteriorate or, if cash on hand were insufficient to satisfy any payment due, may require the Company to obtain alternate financing to satisfy any accelerated payment obligation.

We also had a $3.0 million capital expenditure facility which was available until November 30, 2009. The capital expenditure facility was not renewed upon its expiration on November 30, 2009 as the Company intends to finance future equipment purchases on a specific item basis. We paid interest only on borrowings under the capital expenditures line until November 30, 2009, at which time the principal balance is amortized over five years, commencing December 31, 2009. The interest on borrowings under the capital expenditure line was equal to the prime rate plus 0.5% through and including November 30, 2009 and thereafter at LIBOR, plus 3%. Any unpaid balance on the capital expenditures facility is to be paid on November 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2010, there was $750,759 outstanding under this facility.

Under a Staged Advance Facility, the bank may loan to Ranor, during a one year period expiring on March 29, 2011, amounts up to $1,900,000 for the purpose of acquiring a gantry mill machine. The machine will serve as collateral for the loan. The total aggregate amount of advances under this agreement should not exceed 80% of the actual purchase price of the mill machine. All advances provide for payment of interest only monthly through February 28, 2011, and thereafter no further borrowings shall be permitted under this facility. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 4%. Beginning on April 1, 2011, Ranor is obligated to pay principal and interest sufficient to amortize the outstanding balance on a five year schedule. On March 29, 2010 and September 30, 2010, Ranor drew down equal amounts of $556,416 under this facility to finance the purchase of the gantry mill machine. TechPrecision has guaranteed the payment and performance from and by Ranor.

We believe that the $2.0 million revolving credit facility, which was renewed on July 30, 2010, and remained unused as of September 30, 2010; our capacity to access equipment-specific financing; our current cash balance of $9.2 million; and our cash flow from operations should be sufficient to enable us to satisfy our cash requirements at least through the end of fiscal 2011. Nevertheless, it is possible that we may require additional funds to the extent that we upgrade or expand our manufacturing facilities.

The securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we sold the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Barron Partners provides Barron Partners with a right of first refusal on future equity financings, which may affect our ability to raise funds from other sources if the need arises.

In the event that we make an acquisition, we may require additional financing for the acquisition. We have no commitment from any party for additional funds, however, the terms of our agreement with Barron Partners, particularly Barron Partners’ right of first refusal, may impair our ability to raise capital in the equity markets to the extent that potential investors would be reluctant to negotiate a financing when another party has a right to match the terms of the financing. We have no off-balance sheet assets or liabilities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)).

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure

Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
