Discontinued Operations

("Fulland Wind") to an unrelated party and discontinued the Company's forged rolled rings and related components business. Additionally, the Company's management decided to discontinue its petroleum and chemical equipment segment due to significant declines in revenues and the loss of its major customer. As such, the assets and liabilities of these two segments were classified on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the operating results were classified as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
