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. On November 4, 2010 TechPrecision announced it completed the formation of a wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE), Wuxi Critical Mechanical Components Co., Ltd. (WCMC), to meet growing demand for local manufacturing of components in China. TechPrecision, WCMC and Ranor are collectively referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”.

 

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

 

The formation of WCMC was made in consultation with one of our largest customers in the Solar Energy industry, and was based on the forecasted significant growth in demand for solar and nuclear energy components in Asia, and especially in China. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, WCMC commenced organizational and start-up activities, and production began during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, with initial production units shipped to a large solar customer on March 31, 2011. Accordingly, the results of this wholly owned subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements.
