Revenue increased due to an increase in orders in the energy division of approximately $3.3 million for solar modules and an increase of approximately $300,000 in the die cast factory as a result of an order from Shanghai GM. Shanghai GM is one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in China and GM is the seventh Fortune 500 customer obtained by Worldwide Energy.
