"As we discussed at the end of fiscal 2020, we have learning-curve challenges on a limited number of projects in the manufacturing schedule, resulting in an unfavorable financial impact. These projects as well as an unfavorable mix of other lower-margin projects contributed to our net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2021," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "The project mix also contributed to slower project turnover, dampening revenue during the first quarter. We do, however, expect overall improvement in revenues and margins during the remainder of fiscal 2021."

COVID-19 Update
At the end of March of 2020, the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) had spread worldwide as a pandemic. The full extent of the outbreak, related business and travel restrictions and changes to social behavior intended to reduce its spread remain uncertain as the health crisis continues to evolve in the U.S. and abroad. The directives imposed by federal, state and local governments did not impair our ability to maintain operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 or the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as the Company was designated an "Essential Service." However, the pandemic has negatively affected the Company's customers, suppliers and labor force, resulting in a number of inspection and approval delays for certain projects caused by new or enhanced mandated safety precautions. Accordingly, as conditions continue to change as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the impact on our operations and financial results for the remainder of fiscal 2021 remains uncertain.
