WCMC leased approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of office space from an affiliate of Cleantech Solutions International, or CSI, to serve as its primary office location in Wuxi, China. This lease expired on August 31, 2013. The original lease had an initial two-year term and rent under the lease with the CSI affiliate was 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. During the lease period, we viewed CSI as a related party because a holder of an approximate 5% fully diluted equity interest in CSI also held an approximate 36% fully diluted equity interest in TechPrecision. We paid $0.0 and $1.1 million to CSI for materials and manufacturing services for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. WCMC is also subcontracting manufacturing services from other non-related party Chinese manufacturing companies on comparable terms as those it had with CSI. We are currently leasing new office space from a third party at a new location on a month to month basis for approximately $333 per month.
