Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 20, 2010, TechPrecision Corporation (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ranor, Inc. (“Ranor”), purchased property located at Bella Drive, Westminster, Massachusetts pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated December 20, 2010, by and among the former owner of the property (an entity controlled by the Company’s director, Andrew Levy), WM Realty Management, LLC (“WM Realty”) and Ranor (the “Purchase Agreement”). Prior to consummation of the sale under the Purchase Agreement, the Company had leased the purchased property from WM Realty.

The property includes a 125,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility that serves as Ranor’s primary operating location.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Ranor paid WM Realty $4,275,000 for the property, which price was based on independent, third-party real estate appraisals obtained by the Company.  Under the Purchase Agreement, the parties agree to share equally in the $91,448 prepayment penalty associated with early termination of the mortgage that encumbered the property and which was paid off in full in connection with the closing under the Purchase Agreement.  In addition, the Purchase Agreement provided for the early termination of Ranor’s lease of the property from WM Realty, pursuant to which Ranor had been paying annual rent of $450,000.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2010.
