NOTE 10- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On November 15, 2010, WCMC leased approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of office space from an affiliate of Cleantech Solutions International (CSI) to serve as its primary corporate offices in Wuxi, China. The lease had an initial two-year term and rent under the lease with the CSI affiliate is approximately $17,000 on an annual basis. In addition to leasing property from an affiliate of CSI, we subcontract fabrication and machining services from CSI through their manufacturing facility in Wuxi, China and such subcontracted services are overseen by our personnel co-located at CSI in Wuxi, China.

 

We view CSI as a related party because a holder of an approximate 5% fully diluted equity interest in CSI, also holds an approximate 36% fully diluted equity interest in us. WCMC is also subcontracting manufacturing services from other Chinese manufacturing companies on comparable terms as those it has with CSI. We paid $1.9 and $1.7 million to CSI for materials and manufacturing services in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.
