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.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued StatementFair Values of Financial Instruments

We account for fair value of financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R)Standard Board’s (FASB) authoritative guidance, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R)which defines fair value, and establishes principlesa framework to measure fair value and requirements for howthe 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 acquirer recognizes and measuresasset or paid to transfer a liability in its financial statementsan orderly transaction between market participants at the identifiablemeasurement date. Financial assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141(R) also sets forth the disclosures requiredare marked to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the naturebid prices and financial effectsliabilities 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 business combination. SFAS No. 141(R)information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The effects offair value hierarchy is defined into the adoption of this standard in 2009 will be prospective, commencing with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.following three categories:

In December 2007,Level 1:  Inputs based upon quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by partiesmeasurement 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 parent be clearly identified, labeled,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 consolidated statementbalance sheet, approximates fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents
Holdings of financial position within equity, but separate fromhighly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported in the parent’s equity;balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value. The deposits are maintained in a large regional bank and the amount of consolidated net income attributablefederally insured cash deposits was $250,000 as of September 30, 2009 compared to $100,000 as of September 30, 2008.

Accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the parent andamount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented oninability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the facefollowing factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the consolidated statement of income;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 parent’s ownership interest whilecharge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the parent retains its controlling financial interestCompany has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Current earnings are also charged with an allowance for sales returns based on historical experience. There was no bad debt expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
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 in its subsidiary beone year as short-term liabilities; carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Long-lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 alsoon 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 any retained non-controlling equity investmentthe 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 former subsidiary be initially measuredterm 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 when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent andleased property to the interestslessor at the inception of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 160 does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.lease.
 
 


 
In March 2008,Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants
The Company measures the FASBfair value of the Series A preferred stock by the amount of cash that was received for their issuance. The Company determined that the convertible preferred shares and the accompanying warrants issued Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.are equity instruments.

In April 2008,Our preferred stock also met all conditions for the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determinationclassification as equity instruments.

We do not expect1933, and as a result, the adoption of this FSP to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cashadditional shares issuable upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" (the "FSP"), which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. The FSP requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer's nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. The FSP requires bifurcation of a componentconversion of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt toSeries A preferred stock need not be recognized as part of interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations. registered shares.

Shipping Costs 
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of instruments as they existedsales 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 and 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 FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expectmethod recognizes as revenue the adoptioncontract price of this FSP to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008,units of the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principlesproduct delivered during each period and the frameworkcosts allocable to the delivered units as the cost of earned revenue. When the sales agreements provide for selectingseparate billing of engineering services, the principlesrevenues 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 usedincurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the preparationperiod such losses are determined and are reflected as reductions of financial statementsthe carrying value of nongovernmental entities that are presentedthe costs incurred on uncompleted contracts. Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts consist of labor, overhead, and materials. Work in conformity with GAAP inprocess is stated at the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The Company believes that this Statement will not have any impactlower of cost or market and reflect accrued losses, if required, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.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, 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 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)
The Company has consolidated WM Realty, a variable interest entity that entered into a sale and leaseback contract with the Company, in 2006, to conform to the authoritative FASB guidance (see Note 9 for more information related to the VIE). The creditors of WM Realty do not have recourse to the general credit of TechPrecision or Ranor.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008,October 2009, the FASB issued SFASupdate No. 163, “2009-13 – AccountingRevenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which provides guidance for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation ofidentifying separate deliverables in a revenue-generating transaction where multiple deliverables exist, and provides guidance for allocating and recognizing revenue based on those separate deliverables. The guidance is expected to result in more multiple deliverable arrangements being separable than under current guidance. 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 August 2009, the FASB Statementissued update No. 60.2009-05 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.  The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as describedamendments in this Statement, issued by enterprises includedupdate apply to all entities that measure liabilities at fair value within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly,Topic 820. The update provides clarification that in circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following valuation techniques that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or a income or market approach consistent with the principles of Topic 820. The guidance is effective at October 1, 2009, and the adoption of this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Company believes that this Statement willamendment did not have anya material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008,2009, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITFupdate No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of 2009-01 “Topic 105—Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—amendments based on—Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “AccountingStandards 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 Derivativesthe issuance of FASB Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definitionHierarchy of a derivative but is both (a) indexed toGAAP”. This Accounting Standards Update includes Statement 168 in its entirety, and establishes the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity inCodification as the statementsingle source of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step modelauthoritative 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 results of operations, cash flows or financial positions. The Company has adjusted historical GAAP references in its second quarter 2009 Form 10-Q to reflect accounting guidance references included in the codification.
In June 2009, 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 instrument or an embedded featurestatements and exposure to risks. The guidance is indexed to an issuer’s own stockeffective  beginning April 1, 2010, and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. ManagementCompany is currently evaluatingassessing the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance  sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This guidance is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and its adoption of EITF No. 07-5did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In June 2008,April 2009, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidanceguidance to require disclosure about fair value of financial instruments for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objectiveinterim reporting periods of EITF No.08-4 is to provide transitionpublicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. Since this guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted. Management is currently evaluatingprovides only disclosure requirements, the impact of adoption of EITF No. 08-45,this standard did not impact the results of operations, cash flows or financial positions.
In April 2009, the FASB amended authoritative guidance to determine fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly. This guidance requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques.
The guidance was adopted for the period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the fair value of its financial assets.
In April 2009, the FASB amended authoritative guidance related to the requirements for the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities by modifying the pre-existing “intent and ability” indicator. Under this guidance, an other-than-temporary impairment is triggered when there is intent to sell the security, it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before recovery, or the security is not expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Additionally, this guidance changes the presentation of other-than-temporary impairment in the income statement for those impairments involving credit losses. The credit loss component will be recognized in earnings and the remainder of the impairment will be recorded in other comprehensive income. The guidance was adopted for the period ended September 30, 2009 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The rent expense for the Fitchburg facility was $0 and $28,342  for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The lease provided for rent at the annual rate of $50,112 with 3% annual increases, starting 2004. The lease expired in February 2009 and was not renewed.

On February 24, 2009, the Company 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.

The estimated annual effective tax rates for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were 30% and 42%, respectively. The difference between the provision for income taxes and the income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% was due primarily to differences in the lives and methods used to depreciate and/or amortize our property and equipment, timing differences of expenses related compensated absences, net operating loss carryforwards, and operating losses that occurred during the period.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s federal net operating loss carry-forward was approximately $1,780,714. 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.

At September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company provided a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets. The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets.

NOTE 10 - 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 (“series A preferred stock”).

Each share of series A 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 September 30, 2009, each share of series A preferred stock was convertible into 1.3072 shares of common stock, with an effective conversion price of $.2180.
In February 2006, Series A preferred stock (7,719,250 shares) and warrants to purchase a total of 11,220,000 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated February 24, 2006.  Contemporaneously with the securities purchase agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the investor, pursuant to which it agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the securities in accordance with a schedule. The registration statement was not declared effective in accordance with the original schedule, and the Company issued 33,212 shares of series A preferred stock to the investor as liquidated damages.

In addition to the conversion rights described above, the certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock provides that the holder of the series A preferred stock or its affiliates will not be entitled to convert the series A 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.
The holders of the series A preferred stock have no voting rights. No dividends are payable with respect to the series A preferred stock and no dividends are payable on common stock while series A preferred stock is outstanding. The common stock will not be redeemed while preferred stock is outstanding.
Upon any liquidation the Company is required to pay $.285 for each share of Series A 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 preferred stock.
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 investor may acquire is based on the ratio of shares held by the investor plus the number of shares issuable upon conversion of series A preferred stock owned by the investor to the total of such shares.
On August 14, 2009, our Board adopted a resolution authorizing and directing that the designated shares of Series A convertible Preferred Stock be increased from 9,000,000 to 9,890,980.

On August 14, 2009, the Company entered into a warrant exchange agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 3,395,472 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 had initial exercise prices ranging from $0.57 to $0.86 per share. As a result of the Company’s failure to meet the EBITDA per share targets for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, the range of exercise prices per share of the warrants were reduced to $.44 to $.65. Effective September 11, 2009, the warrants were surrendered to the Company, 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 the 3,595,472 shares of Series A preferred stock were issued pursuant to the terms of the warrant exchange agreement.  All warrants surrendered in connection with the warrant exchange were cancelled.

During the six months ended September 30, 2009, there were no conversions of series A preferred stock into shares of common stock.
The Company had 9,890,980 and 6,295,908 shares of series A preferred stock outstanding at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively.


Common Stock and Warrants

The Company issued 23,333 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options on August 20 and September 30, 2009.

In February 2006, we issued to the investor warrants to purchase 11,220,000 shares of common stock in connection with its purchase of the series A preferred stock. These warrants are exercisable, in part or full, at any time from February 24, 2006 until February 24, 2011. If the shares of common stock are not registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the holders of the warrants have cashless exercise rights which will enable them to receive the value of the appreciation in the common stock through the issuance of additional shares of common stock. These warrants had initial exercise prices of $0.57 as to 5,610,000 shares and $0.855 as to 5,610,000 shares. As a result of the Company’s failure to meet the EBITDA per share targets for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, the exercise prices per share of the warrants were reduced from $0.57 to $.43605 and from $0.855 to $.654075, respectively.

If, prior to February 24, 2009,On September 1, 2007, the Company issuesentered into a contract with an investor relations firm pursuant to which the Company issued three-year warrants to purchase 112,500 shares of common stock at a price, or options, warrants or other convertible securities with a conversion oran exercise price less thanof $1.40 per share.   Using the conversionBlack-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 Series A Preferred Stock orcommon stock on September 1, 2007 of $0.285 per share, the applicable exercise pricesvalue of the warrants, with certain specified exceptions, the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the warrants is reduced to reflect an exercise price equal to the lower price.  This adjustment does not affect the number of shares of common stockwarrant was calculated at $0.0001 per share issuable upon exercise of the warrant, or a total of $11. Since the warrant permits the Company to deliver 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.
On August 14, 2009, the Company completed a transaction with two shareholders resulting in the issuance of 3,395,472 Series A preferred shares in exchange for the surrender of 9,320,000 warrants.   Subsequent to the exchange, all of the 9,320,000 warrants were cancelled by the Company.

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.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the assetfollowing table summarizes information about our options which are fully vested, currently exercisable and liability method of financial accounting and reporting for income taxes required by statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“FAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under FAS 109, 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 riseexpected 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 and net operating loss carry forwards.

We estimate whether recoverability of our deferred tax assets is “more likely than not” based on forecasts of taxable income in the related tax jurisdictions.  In this estimate, we use historical results, projected future operating results based upon approved business plans, eligible carry forward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations.  We review the likelihood that we will be able to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis or whenever events indicate that a review is required.

We reviewed the likelihood that we would be able to realize the benefit of our U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008, based on the revised near-term projected future operating results.  We concluded that it is “more likely than not” that we will realize our short term net deferred tax assets and thus recorded an income tax benefit in the nine months ended December 31, 2008 of $24,587 to establish a provision for these assets.

If, in the future, we do not generate taxable income in the U.S. on a sustained basis, our current estimate of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets could change and result in the increase of the valuation allowance.

NOTE 9.12 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company maintains bank account balances, which, at times, may exceed insured limits.  At September 30, 2009, there were receivable balances outstanding from three customers comprising 61.7% of the total receivables balance; the largest balance from a single customer represented 31% of our receivables balance, while the smallest balance from a single customer making up this group was 15%.  The Company has not experienced any losses with these accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

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 salesrevenue derived from those customers thatwho accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in the ninesix months ended December 31, 2008September 30, 2009 and 2007:2008:

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 also leases approximately 12,720 square feet of manufacturing space in Fitchburg, Massachusetts (“Fitchburg Lease”) from an unaffiliated party. The lease provides for rent at the annual rate of $50,112 with 3% annual increases, starting 2004. The lease expires in February 2009, and is renewable for a five year term.  The company has decided to relocate the equipment from the Fitchburg location to its Westminster facility and not renew this lease.  The company’s rent expense for this facility was $42,865 and $18,300 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Statement Regarding Forward Looking Disclosure

The following discussion of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, which appear elsewhere. This quarterly report of on Form 10-Q, including this section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” may contain predictive or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based in part on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and probably will, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Those factors include those risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in Item 1 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in our Form 10-KSB10-K for the year ended March 31, 20082009 and this Item 2 in this Form 10-Q and those described in any other filings which we make with the SEC. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to economic downturn in the U.S. and global economies, particularly as these uncertainties affect the requirements of companies for capital expenditures, to our ability to generate business on an on-going business, to obtain any required financing, to receive contract awards from the competitive bidding process, maintain standards to enable us to manufacture products to exacting specifications, enter new markets for our services, market and customer acceptance, our reliance on a small number of customers for a significant percentage of our business, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to finance any expansion of our facilities, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report, except as required by applicable law.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report. Investors should evaluate any statements made by the Company in light of these important factors.





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 relatedin addition to our manufacturing capabilities: which include manufacturing engineering (planning, fixture and tooling development, manufacturability), quality control (inspection and testing), 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 customer’scustomers’ needs, and we have implemented such standards into our manufacturing operations.operations are conducted in accordance with these standards.

WeDuring the past several years, the demand for our services has been relatively strong. However, recent recessionary pressures have recently been and could continue to be affected by recessionary pressures. The recent economic decline has affected companies that manufacture capital goods. The difficulty in obtaining credit can affect the abilityrequirements of customers and potential customers to embark on significant projects, as well as the ability of customers to expand their own business or to develop new products. Our largest customer,our customers.  GT Solar, Inc. accounted for 62% of our sales during the nine month period ending December 31, 2008. This customerwhich has reported in its SEC filings that the current tightening of credit in the financial markets may delay or prevent its customers from securing funding adequate to honor their existing contracts to purchase products, and that this could result in a decrease or cancellation of orders. Although our customer has not cancelled any orders, starting in December it has significantly reduced its monthly delivery requirements. Our sales in the solar industry could continue to be affected by any adverse trends that affect our customer.

We have recently also experienced a slow-down in delivery schedules for orders placed by our other customers, who advised us that they could have inventories in excess of their short-term needs, and their customers may also seek to delay deliveries of their products under existing contracts or to renegotiate the delivery schedules under their existing contracts. These or similar conditions affecting our customers or potential customers may result in a decrease in business or future cancellation or deferral of products which have been ordered from us.

The reduced level of business from our largest customer has affected our sales, gross profit and net income infor each of the December 31, 2008 quarter, and we expect these factors to continue to affect us forpast three fiscal years, slowed production significantly during the balancesecond half of thisthe fiscal year which endsended March 31, 2009. We cannot assure you that we can operate profitably as a result2009 and in April 2009, canceled the majority of these factors.its outstanding purchase orders.  Other customers have delayed deliveries of existing orders and have delayed the placement of new orders.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated by a small number of customers. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, our largest customer, GT Solar, accounted for approximately 52.8% of our revenue; our second largest customer, BAE Systems, accounted for approximately 16.7% of our revenue; while all other customers were less than 10% of our revenue for the six month period ended September 30, 2009. For the six months ended September 30, 2008, our largest customer, GT Solar, accounted for 69% of our revenue and BAE accounted for 15% of our revenue. 
To
Our contracts are generated both through negotiation with customers and from bids made pursuant to requests for proposals. Our ability to receive contract awards is dependent upon the extent thatcontracting 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 experienceare seeking more long-term projects with a decreasemore predictable cost structure. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, our sales and net income were $18.4 million and $1.2 million, as compared to sales of $25.3 million and net income of $4.0 million, for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  Our gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was 17% as compared to 33% in net sales, whetherthe six months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of competitive orlower sales volume.  Both net sales and gross margin declined in the six months ended September 30, 2009, and the global economic pressuredownturn continues to have an adverse impact on our pricing,customers.  In August 2009, we completed the transfer of inventory to GT Solar as part of their April 2009 cancellation.  Accordingly, our margins may be impacted since (i) we may not see any significant decline in cost of sales and (ii) we may incur operating inefficiencies resulting in a less efficient use of personnel. We have reduced our cost of sales and general overhead through staff reductions in order to address these matters.  Thus, we anticipate that the effects of the worldwide economic downturn are likely to continue to adversely affect our sales, gross profit and results of operationsrevenue for the next several quarters, if not longer.  However,three month and six month periods ended September 30, 2009, includes $8.9 million of revenue related to materials transferred to GT Solar as part of their order cancellation.   The inventory transfer included a heavy mix of raw materials and therefore carried a lower margin than we cannot at this time quantifytypically generate through the effectssale of the downturn.finished products.

The economic conditions have also affected our accounts receivables, which increased more than $3.5 million, from approximately $4.5 million to approximately $8.0 million, or 78%. At December 31, 2008 the accounts receivables were outstanding for an average of 49 days, as compared with 35 days as of March 31, 2008. It is possible that, as our customers have their own financing difficulties, the average age of our accounts receivables may increase, which could affect our liquidity. Despite the increase in the age of our receivables, we believe that our receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $25,000, are collectible.

Because our revenues are derived from the sale of goods manufactured pursuant to contractsa contract, and we do not sell from inventory, it is necessary for us to constantly seek new contracts. We are actively marketing our manufacturing services to other potential customers in order to lessen our dependence on one or two major customers.  Our two largest customers accounted for approximately 73% of our revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. There may be a time lag between our completion of one contract and commencement of work on another contract. During thissuch a period, we willwould continue to incur our overhead expense but with lower revenue. Furthermore, changes in either the scope of a contract and any deferrals ofor the delivery datesschedule may impact the revenue we receive under the contract and the allocation of manpower.

As of September 30, 2009, we had a backlog of orders totaling approximately $14.4 million, of which approximately $2.4 million represented orders from GT Solar.  Our corresponding backlog as of September 30, 2008 was $45.5 million of which GT Solar represented 73%.

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

Commencing in our year ended March 31, 2007, we changed the manner in which we approach potential business. In the past, our contracts generally called for one or a limited number of units, and once we completed our work on a contract, we generally did not receive subsequent orders for the same product. 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. Our performance has improved significantly particularly over the last year largely as a result of the implementation of this strategy.
-18-


We seekstrategy is to leverage our core competence as a manufacturer of high-precision, largelarge-scale metal fabrications and machined components to expand our business into areas 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 solar 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 believe thatalso 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. Because we haveof our manufacturing capabilities, our certification from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers along withand our historic relationships with suppliers in the nuclear power industry, we believe that we have the qualificationsare well positioned to benefit from any increased activity in the nuclear sector that may result. One of our customers is currently involved in a variety of commercial nuclear reactor repairs and overhaul projects. We have manufactured several components needed to support this work. Another customer provides a complete nuclear waste storage system to commercial nuclear power plants. We manufacture lifting equipment for this company to use in these storage systems.   We also see the fabrication of medical isotopes storage systems as a potential business area.  Although recently we have received new orders, revenuessector. Revenues derived from the nuclear power industry were insignificant$1.5 million for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2008September 30, 2009 and do notcurrently constitute a significant portionapproximately 1.7% of our backlog.backlog that we expect to deliver by March 31, 2010 and March 2011. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop any significant business from the nuclear industry inindustry.
In addition to the future.

Because of the recent decline in oil prices, the demand for products in alternativenuclear energy including solar, wind and nuclear, may be uncertain. Although we believe that over the long term, the alternative energy segment will expand. We are trying to address the potential current reduced demand in the alternative industry, by seeking to diversify into other industries.

As an example of our plan for diversification, we are currently working with aalso exploring potential business applications focused on the medical customer to manufactureindustry.  These efforts include the development and fabrication of medical isotopes storage solutions and the development and fabrication of critical components for proton beam therapy machines designed to be used to treat cancer.

We are evaluating plans to expand our current manufacturing facilitiesutilized in the near-term both attreatment of cancer.  Net sales from our present location and in other locations. We believe that this expansion will allow us to increaseproton beam therapy customer accounted for 4.7% of our overall industry offerings and capacity, allowing us to handle high volume orders or niche orders simultaneously.

As of December 31, 2008, we had a backlog of firm orders totaling approximately $40 million. We anticipate that we will continue to deliver products reflected in our backlog on a continuing basissignificant during the next three to five years, and we expect that the timing of the deliveries will reflect domestic and international economic conditions. The backlog includes orders for about $6.4 million from four customers in addition to GT Solar, which accounts for approximately 73% of our December 31, 2008 backlog.

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.  We do not have any current plans for any acquisition, and we cannot give any assurance that we will complete any acquisition.

Impact of Recent Legislation

The Congress has passed and the President has signed the $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 into law. Significant components of the bill allow manufacturing concerns to apply various tax credits and apply for government loan guarantees for the development or retooling of existing facilities using electricity derived from renewable and previously underutilized sources.  The Company has historically derived significant revenues from contracts with manufacturing concerns in these alternative energy fields.  The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act extended the 50% Bonus depreciation enacted as a part of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008.  Under the Act, 50% of the basis of the qualified property may be deducted in the year the property is placed in service (i.e. 2008 and 2009).  The remaining 50% is recovered under otherwise applicable depreciation rules. This significant tax incentive could drive increased demand on the part of some customers.
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 effectaffect 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 financial statements for the quarterthree and six months ended December 31, 2008September 30, 2009 from the assumptions, estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2008.2009.

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; and (iii) the installation of such components at the customers’ locations when the scope of the project requires such installations.

SalesRevenue and cost of salescosts 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 receiveshas written purchase orders fromagreements 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 reflects accrued losses, if required, on uncompleted contracts.

 
Variable Interest Entity

We have consolidated WM Realty, Management, a variable interest entity from which we lease our real estate, to conform to FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). We have also adopted the revision to FIN 46, FIN 46 (R), which clarified certain provisions of the original interpretation and exempted certain entities from its requirements.  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 a resultof September 30, 2009, the Company’s federal net operating loss carry-forward was approximately $1,780,714. 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 resulting fromas a consequence of the reverse acquisition of Ranor in February 2006, our annual usagethe amount of net operating loss carry forward used in any one year in the tax benefit of the tax loss-carry forward pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and the treasury regulationsfuture is limited to approximately $88,662.substantially limited.

Results of Operations
 
ResultsOur results of Operations (amountsoperations 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 thousands, except per share amounts)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.
Recent disruptions in the global capital markets have resulted in reduced availability of funding worldwide and a higher level of uncertainty experienced by some end-user solar cell module manufacturers. As a result, our customers have made reductions in their direct labor workforce and reported decreases in their order backlogs as well as adjustments to the procurement of materials in their photovoltaic related production.  In April, 2009, GT Solar, our largest customer cancelled the majority of their open purchase orders with us and in August 2009 we completed the material transfer of $8.9 million to GT Solar to finalize the order cancellation.  While we have open orders and backlog with GT Solar they are not at comparable levels prior to the cancellation.

The term loan to Sovereign Bank was approximately $2,381.   The revolving note bears interest at prime plus ½%, and we have the right to borrow at a LIBOR rate plus 300 basis points. We may borrow,is subject to various covenants that include the borrowing formulafollowing: the loan collateral comprises all personal property of Ranor, including cash, accounts receivable inventories, equipment, financial and intangible assets.  Ranor must also maintain a ratio of earnings available to cover fixed charges of at any time prior to June 30, 2009. Any advancesleast 120% of the fixed charges for the rolling four quarters, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter.  Additionally, Ranor must also maintain an interest coverage ratio of at least 2:1 at the end of each fiscal quarter.   Ranor’s obligations under the revolving note become due on Junenotes to the bank are guaranteed by TechPrecision.  At September 30, 2009.

The securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we sold the series A preferred stock and warrants 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.

While weWe believe that the $2.0 million revolving credit facility, which remained unused as of December 31, 2008September 30, 2009 and terminates in June 2009, our $3.02010, and the $2.1 million capital expenditure facility and our cash flow from operations should be sufficient to enable us to satisfy our cash requirements at least through the end of fiscal 2009,2010.  Nevertheless, it is possible that we may require additional funds to the extent that we expand our manufacturing facilities. In the event that we make an acquisition, we may require additional financing for the acquisition. However, we do not have any current plans for any acquisition, and we cannot give any assurance that we will makecomplete any 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 sinceto the extent that potential investors are oftenwould be reluctant to negotiate a financing when another party has a right to match the terms of the financing.

  
In December 2007, Ranor acquired all the equipment Vertex Tool and Die, Inc for $150 and assumed Vertex’s real property lease obligation.  The current lease expires on February 28, 2009, and Ranor has the option to extend the lease for an additional term of five years.  We have the option to purchase the leased property at market price.  However we have decided to relocate the equipment from the Fitchburg location to the Westminster facility and not renew the lease as of the end of February 2009.

We contemplate that we will expand our facilities during the next twelve months. Although we may use the bank facilities for this purpose, we may require additional financing as well.  We can give no assurance that the necessary financing will be available.
