FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TechPrecision Corporation Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Results

Westminster, MA – August 12, 2009  – TechPrecision Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: TPCS) (“TechPrecision”, or “the Company”), a leading manufacturer of large-scale, high-precision machined metal fabrications with customers in the alternative energy, medical, nuclear, defense, aerospace and other commercial industries, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, period ended March 31, 2010.

First Quarter of Fiscal 2010 Highlights

·   Net sales decreased 71.5% to $3.3 million

·   Gross profit declined 83.3% to $0.6 million

·   Gross profit margin was 17.0% vs. 29.0% in the prior year

·   Operating income reversed to a $(0.2) million loss from $2.8 million

·   Income (loss) before income taxes was $(0.3) million compared to $2.6 million

·   Net income (loss) was $(0.1) million vs. $1.6 million in the prior year

·   Net income (loss) per common share was $(0.01) basic and diluted, versus $0.12 and $0.06 basic and diluted for the first quarter of the previous year

First Quarter Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, sales decreased to $3.3 million or 71.5%, from $11.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  The global economic downturn adversely impacted operations in the first quarter.  A significant portion of the decrease resulted from the decrease in sales to the Company’s solar customer.

“Following a strong year in fiscal 2009, our first quarter results continued to reflect the effects of the weak economic conditions worldwide,” said Mr. Louis Winoski, Interim CEO of TechPrecision Corporation. “We believe there are some signs of recovery, but continue to forge ahead in targeting new products and verticals to diversify our revenue stream. More recently, we were particularly pleased to have secured a 3-year, exclusive manufacturing and supply agreement to produce key components for a revolutionary proton beam radiotherapy medical device to treat cancer, which should add another steady, recurring revenue stream for us in the years ahead,” added Mr. Winoski.

Cost of sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $5.5 million to $2.8 million, a decrease of 66.7%, from $8.3 million for quarter ended June 30, 2008. Gross margin was 17.0% in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 compared to a gross margin of 29.0% in the first fiscal quarter of 2009. The gross margin decline was largely attributable to the reduction in sales volume and the accompanying decline in capacity utilization.

Selling, administrative and other expenses for quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $298,000 as compared to $139,000 for quarter ended June 30, 2008, reflecting increased professional fees, marketing costs and severance pay.

The Company had an income tax benefit of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to an expense of $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008. The tax benefit in the June 2009 quarter was due primarily to the recognition of tax assets related to timing differences and the tax effects of losses that are expected to be either realized during the remainder of the year or recognized as a deferred tax asset at the end of the year.

As a result of the factors described above, TechPrecision’s net loss was $0.1 million ($0.01 per share basic and diluted) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $1.6 million ($0.12 per share basic and $0.06 per share diluted) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Financial Condition

At June 30, 2009, TechPrecision had working capital of $10.9 million as compared with working capital of $11.2 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.3 million reflecting the Company’s decreased level of business.  Cash used in operations was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in operating cash flow was due to the net effect of a decrease in net profits, decrease in costs incurred on uncompleted contracts and payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $9.4 million in cash and equivalents. Stockholder’s equity decreased to $9.9 million compared to $10.0 million on March 31, 2009.

Business Outlook

TechPrecision provides elements of a proprietary product for a customer in the alternative energy industry and has a track record of providing key components to the nuclear energy industry as well. The alternative energy industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years; however, this growth trend has recently reversed.  Accordingly, the near-term demand for products in alternative energy, including both solar and nuclear, is uncertain.  Although the Company believes that over the long term, the alternative energy segment will expand, it is addressing the current reduced demand in the alternative energy segment by diversifying into other industries.  The reduced level of business from the Company’s largest customer has affected TechPrecision’s sales, gross profit and net income in the June 30, 2009 quarter, and the Company expects these factors to continue to affect it in the remainder of its fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

The Company is one of a few participants in the U.S. with the certifications to manufacture commercial nuclear equipment. Although it did not have significant revenue from this segment during fiscal 2009 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, TechPrecision is actively working on producing prototypes for components for next generation nuclear plants, and the Company believes that it is well positioned to benefit from any nuclear renaissance in the United States.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ranor Inc. recently entered into an exclusive 3-year manufacturing and supply agreement to produce key components for a revolutionary proton beam radiotherapy (“PBRT”) device to treat cancer that is being developed by Still River Systems, Inc. of Littleton, MA.  Under the terms of the agreement, Ranor will manufacture certain key components for initial units of Still River’s Monarch250, a proprietary proton beam radiotherapy system to be delivered to Still River’s business partners throughout the United States.  Components for the initial systems are now nearing completion at Ranor and are undergoing various phases of testing.  Provided that testing of the SRS Monarch250 system continues to progress successfully, and following FDA clearance, this could generate approximately $30 million in revenues to Ranor for the initial systems over the next three years.

“We believe this quarter represents a trough for us as the world emerges from the long, deep recession,” stated Mr. Winoski. “We are positioned well to take advantage of a recovery in the alternative energy sector as we seek new opportunities there and in the nuclear sector.  We are also extremely optimistic about the prospects for our recent medical device contract win.”

As of June 30, 2009, the company had a backlog of orders totaling approximately $39.5 million of which $28.5 million represented orders from its largest customer.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the largest customer canceled a portion of their orders reducing the total backlog to $22.7 million. Post the cancellation, the remaining backlog from the solar customer of approximately $11.7 million includes approximately $3.4 million of open product purchase orders and approximately $8.3 million of material buyback.   The backlog includes orders in excess of $1.0 million from each of five customers totaling more than $7.9 million in addition to the largest customer. The Company expects to deliver the backlog during the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.
