Mr. Yabin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Wowjoint, stated: "We are pleased to announce these contracts with China Railway Construction Company. Our entry into these equipment leasing and service contracts further diversifies Wowjoint's revenue stream and provides the Company with recurring revenues. Combined with the recently announced equipment lease agreement with China Railway Group, this brings the value of contracts announced since July 29th to $6.7 million. Given the benefits of such contracts to Wowjoint, we intend to pursue additional equipment leasing and equipment operating service agreements in the future."
