2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, included herein, have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals, except as otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position as of June 30, 2014, and results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated balances as of December 31, 2013 were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated
6
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards for interim financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts the Companys customers are invoiced and do not bear interest. Accounts Receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Companys estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables includes evaluation of specific accounts where the Company has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. The Company had allowances for doubtful accounts of $419 and $333 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Inventory Valuation
Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. All equipment classified as inventory is available for sale. The Company records excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The estimated reserve is based upon specific identification of excess or obsolete inventories. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred and are not capitalized as a component of inventory.
Accrued Warranties
The Company establishes a reserve for future warranty expense at the point when revenue is recognized by the Company. The provision for estimated warranty claims, which is included in cost of sales, is based on a percentage of sales.
Revenue Recognition
For products shipped FOB destination, sales are recognized when the product reaches its FOB destination, or when the services are rendered, which represents the point when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer. For products shipped FOB shipping point, revenue is recognized when the product is shipped, as this is the point when title and risk of loss pass from us to our customers. Under certain contracts with our customers title passes to the customers when the units are completed. The units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, the customer is notified that the units are complete and wait pick up or delivery as specified by the customer before income is recognized. Additionally, the customer signs an Invoice Authorization Form which authorizes us to invoice the unit per terms of the contract and acknowledges that the customer has economic ownership and control over the unit. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.
When contracts with customer do not transfer title when the unit has been completed, customers may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has authorized in writing that we hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the units are invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and we have no further obligations under the order.
The Company establishes reserves for future warranty expense at the point when revenue is recognized by the Company and is based on percentage of revenues. The provision for estimated warranty claims, which is included in cost of sales, is based on revenues.
Litigation Claims
In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then make an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on the advice of outside legal counsel.
Income Taxes
The Companys provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Companys year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. The effective tax rate is based upon the Companys anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.
7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income
Reporting Comprehensive Income requires reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net earnings, other items that are reported as direct adjustments to stockholders equity. Currently, the comprehensive income adjustment required for the Company has two components. First is a foreign currency translation adjustment, the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiaries. The second component is a derivative instrument fair market value adjustment (net of income taxes) related to forward currency contracts designated as a cash flow hedge.
Business CombinationsThe Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.
ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805, any excess of fair value of acquired net assets, including identifiable intangibles assets, over the acquisition consideration results in a bargain purchase gain. Prior to recording a gain, the acquiring entity must reassess whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and perform re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued.
Sabre and Valla results are included in the Companys results from their respective dates of acquisition of August 19, 2013 and November 30, 2013.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years consolidated financial statements to conform to the current years presentation.
3. Acquisitions
Valla Asset Purchase
On November 30, 2013, CVS Ferrari Srl. (the Purchaser or CVS), an Italian corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company completed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Valla SpA (the Seller), an Italian based developer of precision pick and carry cranes to acquire substantially all of the Sellers operating assets and business operations, including the Sellers accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Valla develops precision pick and carry cranes with lifting capacities from 2 to 90 tons using electric, diesel and hybrid power options. Its cranes offer wheeled or tracked, fixed or swing boom configurations, with special applications designed specifically to meet the needs of its customers.
The consideration for the Purchase consisted of a note payable to Seller for $200 (the Note) with principal payments of $100 on December 31, 2015 and 2016 and annual interest of 5% and contingent consideration of up to $1,000. The fair value of the purchase consideration was as follows:

|
|||||
Total purchase consideration |
| 348 | $ | 478 | ||||

Seller Note. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued a note with a stated interest rate of 5% in the amount of $200 payable to the sellers. The note is payable in two installments of $100 payable on December 31, 2015 and 2016.
The fair value of the promissory note is $228 and was calculated to be to equal the present value of future debt payments discounted at a market rate of return commensurate with similar debt instruments with comparable levels of risk and marketability. A rate of 1.5% was determined to be the appropriate rate following an assessment of the risk inherent in the debt issued and the market rate for debt of this nature using corporate credit ratings. The $28 difference between face amount of the promissory note and its fair value is being amortized over the life of the note and is a reduction of interest expense.

Contingent Consideration. In accordance with ASC 805, the acquirer is to recognize the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration. The agreement has a contingent consideration provision which provides the seller to receive an annual payment equal to 10% of net income for the next eight years, with a maximum annual payment of $125. If 10% of a years net income exceeds $125, the excess amounts will be carried over to future years. Any carryovers not paid out after eight years will be forfeited. The agreement has no provision for a carryback for excess earnings in a year. Given the disparity between the income threshold and the Companys projected financial results, it was determined that a Monte Carlo simulation analysis was appropriate to determine the fair value of contingent consideration. It was determined that the probability weighted average earn out payment is $250. Based thereon, we determined the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $250.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition . The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate estimated fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to final review. The following table summarizes the acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by Valla, except for certain adjustments necessary to state such amounts at their estimated fair values at acquisition date. Fair market adjustments to fixed assets and inventory that were recorded were not significant.
Intangible assets: There are three fundamental methods applied to value intangible assets outlined in FASB ASC 820. These methods include the Cost Approach, the Market Approach, and the Income Approach. Each of these valuation approaches was considered in our estimation of value.
Trade names and trademarks and unpatented technology: Valued using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of both the Market Approach and the Income Approach. Because the Company has established trade names and trademarks and has developed unpatented technology, we estimated the benefit of ownership as the relief from the royalty expense that would need to be incurred in absence of ownership.
Customer relationships: Because there is a specific earnings stream that can be associated with customer relationships, we determined the discounted cash flow method was the most appropriate methodology for valuation.
Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of total consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired. The recognition of goodwill of $2,434 reflects the inherent value in the Valla reputation, which has been built since being founded in 1945 and the prospects for significant future earnings based on Vallas product line.
For income tax purposes, intangible assets and goodwill will be amortized and will result in future tax deductions.

Acquisition transaction costs: Cost and expenses related to the acquisition have been expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. In connection with the Valla acquisition, the Company incurred legal and accounting fees of $42 and fees for valuation services of $15.
Sabre Asset Purchase
On August 19, 2013, Manitex Sabre, Inc. (the Purchaser or Sabre), a Michigan corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Sabre Manufacturing, LLC, (the Seller), a Knox, Indiana-based manufacturer of specialized tanks, to acquire substantially all of the Sellers operating assets and business operations, including the Sellers accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Sabre tanks are used for above ground liquid and solid storage and containment solutions for a variety of end markets such as petrochemical, waste management and oil and gas drilling.
The fair value of the purchase consideration was $14,000 in total as shown below:

Manitex International Inc. stock. The fair value of the stock consideration was determined to be $1,000 at date of acquisition.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate estimated fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill.
At December 31, 2013, it was stated that the purchase price allocation was preliminary and was subject to final review of certain receivable and deposit balances. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the purchase price allocation was finalized. As a result, the receivable due from the seller decreased by $234, accrued expenses decreased by $86 and goodwill increased by $148. The components of this adjustment are non-cash items and, therefore, are not included in the Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended March 31, 2014.
Additionally, the balance sheet at December 31, 2013 was restated to reflect the above changes to Sabre purchase price allocations as follows:

For income tax purposes, intangible assets and goodwill will be amortized and will result in future tax deductions.
Acquisition transaction costs: Cost and expenses related to the acquisition have been expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred fees of $93 for legal services, $68 for accounting service in connection with the prior year audit of Sabre financial statements and $37 for valuation services.
The results of the acquired Sabre and Valla operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since their respective acquisition date. The results of Sabre and Valla also form part of the segment disclosures for the Lifting Equipment segment.

Pro Forma Adjustment Note
Pro forma adjustments were made to give effect to the amortization of intangibles and capitalized bank fees related to term loans recorded as a result of the acquisitions, which would have resulted in $129 and $236 of additional expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Pro forma adjustments to record interest expense on term loans would have resulted in $139 and $278 of additional interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Pro forma adjustments for the difference between historical depreciation and depreciation calculated using the fair market value of the fixed assets acquired and the current useful lives and to write off the fair market inventory adjustment related to beginning inventory as the beginning inventory has been sold resulted in a decrease in expense of $15 and an increase in expense of $48 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Pro forma adjustments for acquisition costs including accounting, legal and consulting fees would have resulted in a decrease in expense of $15 and an increase to expense of $243 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Pro forma adjustments were made to record the tax effect of the above entries. The effect of recording pro forma adjustments was to decrease tax expense by $75 and $257 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Additionally, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $215 and $388 on Sabre earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Historically, Sabre did not record income taxes as it was a Sub Chapter S Corporation. Finally, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $82 and $177 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 related to Valla operating loss.
A pro forma adjustment was made to increase both basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 by 87,928 to reflect the shares issued in connection with the Sabre acquisition.
There are no pro forma adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
4. Financial InstrumentsForward Currency Exchange Contracts
The following tables set forth the companys financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820-10 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 |
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; | ||
Level 2 |
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and | ||
Level 3 |
|
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). |
Fair value of the forward currency contracts are determined on the last day of each reporting period using observable inputs, which are supplied to the Company by the foreign currency trading operation of its bank and are Level 2 items.
5. Derivatives Financial Instruments
The Companys risk management objective is to use the most efficient and effective methods available to us to minimize, eliminate, reduce or transfer the risks which are associated with fluctuation of exchange rates between the Canadian and U.S. dollar and the Euro and the U.S. dollar.
When the Companys Canadian subsidiary receives a significant new U.S. dollar order, management will evaluate different options that may be available to mitigate future currency exchange risks. The decision to hedge future sales is not automatic and is decided case by case. The Company will only use hedge instruments to hedge firm existing sales orders and not estimated exposure, when management determines that exchange risks exceeds desired risk tolerance levels. The forward currency contracts used to hedge future sales are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815-10.
The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units functional currency would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge under ASC 815-10. Items denominated in other than a reporting units functional currency includes U.S. denominated accounts receivables and accounts payable held by our Canadian subsidiary and intercompany receivables due from the Companys Canadian and Italian subsidiaries.
As required, forward currency contracts are recognized as an asset or liability at fair value on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (date of sale). Gains or losses on cash flow hedges when recognized into income are included in net revenues. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The Company expects minimal ineffectiveness as the Company has hedged only firm sales orders and has not hedged estimated exposures. For derivative instruments that are not designated and do not qualify as cash flow hedge, both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to these forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Statement of Income in the other income expense section on the line titled foreign currency transaction gains (losses).
At June 30, 2014, the Company had entered into a forward currency exchange contract. The contract obligates the Company to sell approximately CDN $1,099. The contract matures on November 7, 2014. Under the contract, the Company will sell Canadian dollars at 0.9102. The Canadian to US dollar exchange rates was $0.9372 at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, the Company had forward currency contracts to sell 800 at 1.4251, 400 at 1.3635 and 100 at 1.3538 with contract maturity dates of July 2, 2014, February 10, 2015 and January 31, 2015, respectively. The Euro to US dollar exchange rate was 1.3690 at June 30, 2014. The unrealized currency exchange asset is reported under prepaid expense and other if it is an asset or under accrued expenses if it is a liability on the balance sheet.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding forward currency contracts that were in place to hedge future sales. Therefore, there are currently no unrealized pre-tax gains or loss which will reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months.

The Counterparty to each of the currency exchange forward contracts is a major financial institution with credit ratings of investment grade or better and no collateral is required. Management continues to monitor counterparty risk and believes the risk of incurring losses on derivative contracts related to credit risk is unlikely.
6. Net Earnings per Common Share
Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of restricted stock units. Details of the calculations are as follows:

On March 6, 2014, the Company paid a portion of officers and employee 2013 bonuses in stock. This resulted in an issuance of 14,292 shares with a value of $228. Upon issuance, the Companys common stock was increased by $228 and the bonus accrual was decreased by a corresponding amount.
Stock Repurchase
On June 5, 2014, the Company purchased 392 shares of Common Stock from certain employees at $16.75 per share the closing price on that date. The stock was purchased from the employees to satisfy employees withholding tax obligations related to stock issued on June 5, 2014. Common stock was reduced by $7, the value of the shares purchased.
2004 Equity Incentive Plan
In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and subsequently amended and restated the plan on September 13, 2007, May 28, 2009 and June 5, 2013. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 917,046 shares. The total number of shares reserved for issuance however, can be adjusted to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in the Companys capital structure. The Companys employees and members of the board of directors who are not our employees or employees of our affiliates are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan is administered by a committee of the board comprised of members who are outside directors. The plan provides that the committee has the authority to, among other things, select plan participants, determine the type and amount of awards, determine award terms, fix all other conditions of any awards, interpret the plan and any plan awards. Under the plan, the committee can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units, except Directors may not be granted stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance units. During any calendar year, participants are limited in the number of grants they may receive under the plan. In any year, an individual may not receive options for more than 15,000 shares, stock appreciation rights with respect to more than 20,000 shares, more than 20,000 shares of restricted stock and/or an award for more than 10,000 performance shares or restricted stock units or performance units. The plan requires that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights be not less than fair market value of the Companys common stock on date of grant.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 requires enhanced disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements to present separately, by item, reclassifications out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the companys consolidated financial statements. The additional required disclosure is included in Note 5.
17
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This ASU changes a parent entitys accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. A parent entity is required to release any related cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income into net income in the following circumstances: (i) a parent entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided; (ii) a partial sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity; (iii) a partial sale of an equity method investment that is not a foreign entity whereby the partial sale represents a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity that held the equity method investment; and (iv) the sale of an investment in a foreign entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did have a material impact on the companys consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.
Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. Historical warranty experience is, however, reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability.

13. Revolving Term Credit Facilities and Debt
The Company together with its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries has a credit agreement (Credit Agreement) with Comerica Bank (Comerica) and certain other lenders, who are participants under the credit agreement. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with (a) a $40,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to the U.S. Borrowers (U.S. Revolver), and (b) a $9,000 (or the Canadian dollar equivalent amount) Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to the Canadian Borrower (Canadian Revolver). The two aforementioned credit facilities each mature on August 19, 2018.
The indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets. The facility contains customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on acquisitions, dividends, repurchase of the Companys stock and capital expenditures. The Company is also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement including maintaining (1) a Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0, (2) a Maximum Senior Secured First Lien Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1.0, with a step down to 3.0 to 1.0 at December 31, 2014, (3) a Maximum Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio of not more than 4.0 to 1.0 with a step down to 3.75 to 1.0 at December 31, 2014, and (4) a minimum Tangible Net Worth.

The base rate is the greater of the banks prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 1.00% or the 30 day LIBOR rate Adjusted Daily plus 1.00%. For the U.S. Revolver the interest rate spread for Base Rate is between 1.625% and 2.250% and for LIBOR the spread is between 2.265% and 3.250% in each case with the spread being based on the consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for the preceding twelve months. The base rate and LIBOR spread is currently 1.625% and 2.625%, respectively. Funds borrowed under the LIBOR options can be borrowed for periods of one, two, three or six months.
The $40,000 U.S. Revolver is a secured financing facility under which borrowing availability is limited to existing collateral as defined in the agreement. The maximum amount available is limited to (1) the sum of 85% of eligible receivables, (2) the lesser of 50% of eligible inventory or $18,000, (3) the lesser of 80% of used equipment purchased for resale or rent or $2,000 reduced by (4) outstanding standby letter or credits issued by the bank.

The maximum amount available is limited to the sum of (1) 85% of eligible receivables plus (2) 30% of eligible work-in-process inventory not to exceed CDN $1,000 and (3) 50% of eligible inventory excluding work in process inventory. Under the agreement, total inventory collateral, however, cannot exceed CDN$7,000. At June 30, 2014, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was $8,419. The indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of Manitex Liftking ULCs assets. The Company can borrow in either U.S. or Canadian dollars. For the Canadian Revolver, the interest rate spread for U.S. prime based borrowing is between 0.00% and 0.25% and for Canadian prime based borrowings the interest rate spread is between 0.00% and 0.75%, in each case with the spread being based on the consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for the preceding twelve months. As of June 30, 2014 the spread on both the U.S. Prime based borrowing and Canadian Prime based borrowings was 0.00%.
20
Under the Credit Agreement, the banks are also paid 0.375% annual facility fee payable in quarterly installments.
Specialized Export Facility
The Canadian Revolving Credit facility contains an additional $3,000 Specialized Export Facility that matures on June 1, 2015. Borrowings under the Specialized Export Facility are guaranteed by the Company and Export Development Canada (EDC), a corporation established by an Act of Parliament of Canada. Under the Export Facility Liftking can borrow 90% of the total cost of material and labor incurred on export contracts which are subject to the EDC guarantee. The EDC guarantee, which expires on June 1, 2015, is issued under their export guarantee program and covers certain goods that are to be exported from Canada. At June 30, 2014, the maximum the Company could have borrowed based upon available collateral under the Specialized Export Facility was $3,000. Under this facility, the Company can borrow either Canadian or U.S. dollars.
Any borrowings under the facility in Canadian dollars currently bear interest of 3.00% which is based on the Canadian prime rate (the Canadian prime was 3.0% at June 30, 2014). Any borrowings under the facility in U.S. dollars bear interest at the U.S. prime rate (prime was 3.25% at June 30, 2014).

Load King Debt
In November 2011, the Companys Load King Subsidiary used its manufacturing facility as collateral to secure mortgage financing with BED (South Dakota Board of Economic Development) and a bank. Load King pledged its equipment to the bank to secure additional term debt (Equipment Note). The funds received in connection with the above borrowing were used to repay a promissory note to Terex Corporation (Terex), which was issued in connection with the Load King acquisition. The BED Mortgage, the bank mortgage and the Equipment Note, which are all guaranteed by the Company, have outstanding balances as of June 30, 2014 of $773, $796 and $273, respectively.
Under the terms of the BED Mortgage, the Company is required to make 59 payments of $5 based on a 240 month amortization period and a 3% interest rate. A final balloon payment of unpaid principal and interest is due on November 2, 2016. The interest rate for the note is subject to Load King maintaining employment levels specified in an Employment Agreement between Load King and BED. If Load King fails to maintain agreed upon employment levels, Load King may be required to pay BED an amount equal to the difference between the interest paid and amount of interest that would have been paid if the loan had a 6.5% interest rate.
Under the terms of the Bank Mortgage, the Company is required to make 120 interest and principal payments. The first sixty payments of $6 per month are based on a 240 month amortization period and a 6% interest rate. On November 2, 2016, the interest rate will reset. The new interest rate will be equal to the monthly average yield on 5 Year Constant Maturity U.S. Treasury Securities plus 3.75%. The monthly interest and principal payment will be recalculated accordingly. A final balloon payment of unpaid principal and interest is due on November 2, 2021.
Under the Equipment Note, the Company is required to make 84 monthly interest and principal payments. The first 60 payments will be for $6 and are based on an 84 month amortization period and a 6.25% interest rate. On November 2, 2016, the interest rate will reset. The interest rate will be equal to the monthly average yield on 5 year Constant Maturity of U.S. Treasury Securities plus 4.00%. The monthly principal and interest payments will be recalculated based on the new interest rate and will remain fixed for the next 24 months.
Sabre note payable
At June 30, 2014, Sabre had a note payable with a balance of $4 which bears interest at approximately 11.8% and matures on September 1, 2014. Under the terms of the note, Sabre is required to make monthly payments of $1 which includes accrued interest.
CVS Short-Term Working Capital Borrowings
At June 30, 2014, CVS had established demand credit facilities with ten Italian banks. Under the facilities, CVS can borrow up to 260 ($356) on an unsecured basis and additional amounts as advances against orders, invoices and letter of credit with a total maximum facilities (including the unsecured portion) of 10,487 ($14,357).

In making its determination the bank considers the customers credit and location of the customer.
22
At June 30, 2014, the banks had advanced CVS 6,450 ($8,829), at variable interest rates which currently range from 2.10% to 11%. At June 30, 2014, the Company has guaranteed 5,633 ($7,712) of CVSs outstanding debt. Additionally, the banks had issued performance bonds which total 521 ($714) which have been guaranteed by the Company.
Note PayableBank
At June 30, 2014, the Company has a $273 note payable to a bank. The note dated January 10, 2014 had an original principal amount of $678 and an annual interest rate of 3.45%. Under the terms of the note the company is required to make ten monthly payments of $69 commencing January 30, 2014. The proceeds from the note were used to pay annual premiums for certain insurance policies carried by the Company. The holder of the note has a security interest the insurance policies it financed and has the right upon default to cancel these policies and receive any unearned premiums.
Acquisition note Valla
In connection with the acquisition, the Company has a note with a stated interest rate of 5% in the amount of $200 payable to the sellers. The note is payable in two installments of $100 payable on December 31, 2015 and 2016.
The fair value of the promissory note was calculated to equal the present value of future debt payments discounted at a market rate of return commensurate with similar debt instruments with comparable levels of risk and marketability. A rate of 1.5% was determined to be the appropriate rate following an assessment of the risk inherent in the debt issued and the market rate for debt of this nature using corporate credit ratings. The difference of $28 between face amount of the promissory note and its fair value is being amortized over the life of the note and recorded as a reduction of interest expense.
As of June 30, 2014, the note had remaining principal balance of $226.
Capital leases
Georgetown facility
The Company has a twelve year lease, which expires in April 2018 that provides for monthly lease payments of $74 for its Georgetown, Texas facility. The lease has been classified as a capital lease. At June 30, 2014, the outstanding capital lease obligation is $2,440.
Winona facility
The Company has a five year lease which expires in July 10, 2014 that provides for monthly lease payments of $25 for its Winona, Minnesota facility.

The Landlord must receive such notice at least three months prior to end of the Lease term. At June 30, 2014, the Company has outstanding capital lease obligation of $504. The Company has given the Landlord the required notice and expects to complete the purchase of the building during the third quarter 2014.
Equipment
The Company has entered into a lease agreement with a bank pursuant to which the Company is permitted to borrow 100% of the cost of new equipment and 75% of the cost of used equipment with 60 and 36 months repayment periods, respectively. At the conclusion of the lease period, for each piece of equipment the Company is required to purchase that piece of leased equipment for one dollar.
The equipment, which is acquired in ordinary course of the Companys business, is available for sales and rental prior to sale.
Under the lease agreement the Company can elect to exercise an early buyout option at any time, and pay the bank the present value of the remaining rental payments discounted by a specified Index Rate established at the time of leasing. The early buyout option results in a prepayment penalty which progressively decreases during the term of the lease. Alternatively, the Company under the like-kind provisions in the agreement can elect to replace or substitute different equipment in place of equipment subject to the early buyout without incurring a penalty.
The following is a summary of amounts financed under equipment capital lease agreements:

Note 14. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, employment related issues, and workers compensation matters which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company has product liability insurance with self-insurance retention that range from $50 to $500. Certain cases are at a preliminary stage, and it is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company. However, the Company does not believe that these contingencies, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Additionally, the Company has been named as a defendant in several multi-defendant asbestos related product liability lawsuits. In certain instances, the Company is indemnified by a former owner of the product line in question. In the remaining cases the plaintiff has, to date, not been able to establish any exposure by the plaintiff to the Companys products. The Company is uninsured with respect to these claims but believes that it will not incur any material liability with respect to these to claims.
Additionally beginning on December 31, 2011, the Companys workmens compensation insurance policy has a per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,000, $1,150 and $1,325 for 2012, 2013 and 2014 policy years, respectively. The Company is fully insured for any amount on any individual claim that exceeds the deductible and for any additional amounts of all claims once the aggregate is reached. The Company currently has several workmen compensation claims related to injuries that occurred after December 31, 2011 and therefore are subject to a deductible. The Company does not believe that the contingencies associated with these worker compensation claims in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company. Prior to December 31, 2011, worker compensation claims were fully insured.
On May 5, 2011, Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs $1,615 without interest in 17 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 each year. The Company has recorded a liability for the net present value of the liability. The difference between the net present value and the total payment will be charged to interest expense over payment period.
It is reasonably possible that the Estimated Reserve for Product Liability Claims may change within the next 12 months. A change in estimate could occur if a case is settled for more or less than anticipated, or if additional information becomes known to the Company.
The Company had a conditional commitment to purchase the building in which CVS Ferrari srl operates. Under the agreement, CVS Ferrari srl had a commitment to purchase the building at the conclusion of a rental period that ended on June 30, 2014 for 9,200. The commitment to purchase the building was contingent on CVS Ferrari srl being able to secure a mortgage on market terms for 75% of the purchase price. The Company is not required to purchase the building as required financing could not be obtained due to the appraised value of the building. The Company is continuing to lease the aforementioned facility.

The Company leases its 40,000 sq. ft. Bridgeview facility from an entity controlled by Mr. David Langevin, the Companys Chairman and CEO. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company makes monthly lease payments of $21. The Company is also responsible for all the associated operations expenses, including insurance, property taxes, and repairs. The lease will expire on June 30, 2020 and has a provision for six one year extension periods. The lease contains a rental escalation clause under which annual rent is increased during the initial lease term by the lesser of the increase in the Consumer Price Increase or 2.0%. Rent for any extension period shall however, be the then-market rate for similar industrial buildings within the market area. The Company has the option, to purchase the building by giving the Landlord written notice at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the expiration of the lease or any extension period. The Landlord can require the Company to purchase the building if a change of Control Event, as defined in the agreement occurs by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the expiration of the lease or any extension period. The purchase price regardless whether the purchase is initiated by the Company or the landlord will be the Fair Market Value as of the closing date of said sale. |
17. Income Taxes
The Companys provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Companys year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. The annual effective tax rates (excluding discrete items) is estimated to be approximately 32% for 2014. The effective tax rate is based upon the Companys anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.
The increase in the effective tax rate from 2013 to 2014 is partially due to the absence of research and development tax credits in 2014. The federal research & development tax credit expired as of December 31, 2013 and is unavailable for 2014. During 2013, the Company recorded an income tax benefit for federal research and development tax credits generated in both 2012 and 2013 as such credits were reinstated into law in January 2013 on a retroactive basis.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1,437 which consisted primarily of anticipated federal, state and local, and foreign taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1,204 which consisted primarily of anticipated federal, state and local, and foreign taxes.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $2,342. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1,890 which included discrete items of $110 primarily related to 2012 Federal Research & Development tax credits which were retroactively enacted by the American Taxpayer Reconciliation Act on January 2, 2013.
26
The Companys total unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $260 and $353, which, if recognized, would affect the Companys effective tax rate. As of June 30, 2014 the Company had accrued immaterial amounts for the potential payment of interest and penalties.
18. Subsequent Events
On July 21, 2014, the Company entered into a series of agreements to acquire PM Group S.p.A, (PM Group), a manufacturer of truck mounted cranes, and its subsidiary Oil & Steel, S.p.A (O&S), both based in San Cesario sul Panaro, Modena, Italy (the Transaction). The Transaction is contingent on the approval by an Italian bankruptcy court of a Debt Restructuring Agreement, dated July 21, 2014, between PM Group, O&S, and six Italian banks.
Additionally, on July 21, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to the Companys credit facility. The amendment provides for a $25,000,000 Optional Incremental Term Loan which can be drawn on in the future for the sole purpose of purchasing PM Group.
On July 21, 2014, two Current Reports on Form 8-K were filed with United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These two 8-Ks contain additional details regarding the PM Group agreements and the amendment to the Companys credit facility.

OVERVIEW
The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions. The Company operates in two business segments: the Lifting Equipment segment and the Equipment Distribution segment.
Lifting Equipment Segment
The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes a diverse group of products that serve different functions and are used in a variety of industries. Through its Manitex, Inc. subsidiary it markets a comprehensive line of boom trucks, truck cranes and sign cranes. Manitexs boom trucks and crane products are primarily used for industrial projects, energy exploration and infrastructure development, including, roads, bridges and commercial construction. Its Badger Equipment Company (Badger) subsidiary is a manufacturer of specialized rough terrain cranes and material handling products. Badger primarily serves the needs of the construction, municipality, and railroad industries.
Manitex Liftking ULC (Manitex Liftking or Liftking) sells a complete line of rough terrain forklifts, a line of stand-up electric forklifts, cushioned tired forklifts with lifting capacities from 18 thousand to 40 thousand pounds, and special mission oriented vehicles, as well as other specialized carriers, heavy material handling transporters and steel mill equipment. Manitex Liftkings rough terrain forklifts are used in both commercial and military applications. Specialty mission oriented vehicles and specialized carriers are designed and built to meet the Companys unique customer needs and requirements. The Companys specialized lifting equipment has met the particular needs of customers in various industries that include utility, ship building and steel mill industries.
Manitex Load King, Inc. (Load King) manufactures specialized custom trailers and hauling systems typically used for transporting heavy equipment. Load King Trailers serve niche markets in the commercial construction, railroad, military, and equipment rental industries through a dealer network.
CVS Ferrari, srl (CVS) located near Milan, Italy designs and manufactures a range of reach stackers and associated lifting equipment for the global container handling market, that are sold through a broad dealer network. On November 30, 2013, CVS purchased the assets of Valla SpA. Valla manufactures and markets a line of precision pick and carry cranes from 2 to 90 tons, using electric, diesel and hybrid power. Its crane offer wheeled or tracked, fixed or swing boom configurations, with dozens of special applications designed specifically to meet the needs of its customers.
On August 19, 2013, Manitex Sabre, Inc. (Sabre) acquired the assets of Sabre Manufacturing, LLC, which is located in Knox, Indiana. Sabre manufactures a comprehensive line of specialized mobile tanks for liquid and solid storage and containment solutions with capacities from 8,000 to 21,000 gallons. Its mobile tanks will be sold to specialized independent tank rental companies and through the Companys existing dealer network. The tanks are used in a variety of end markets such as petrochemical, waste management and oil and gas drilling.
28
Equipment Distribution Segment
The Equipment Distribution segment operates as Manitex Valla North America sales organization and is a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes, PM knuckle boom cranes and Manitexs products. The Equipment Distribution segment predominately sells its products to end users, including the rental market. Its products are used primarily for infrastructure development and commercial constructions applications including road and bridge construction, general contracting, roofing, scrap handling and sign construction and maintenance. The Equipment Distribution segment supplies repair parts for a wide variety of medium to heavy duty construction equipment and sell both domestically and internationally. The segment also provides repair services in the Chicago area. The North American Equipment Exchange division, (NAEE), markets previously-owned construction and heavy equipment, both domestically and internationally. This Division provides a wide range of used lifting and construction equipment of various ages and condition, and the Company has the capability to refurbish the equipment to the customers specification.
Economic Conditions
The overall market for construction equipment continues to improve but has not returned to pre-2008 levels. A very significant portion of the Companys revenues has been attributed to demand from niche market segments, particularly the North American energy sector. In our 2013 10-K we stated that, there had been a softening in the demand for our products which was related to the energy sector and that the Company believed that the current decrease in demand from the energy sector was temporary. This softness continued through much of the first quarter together with slower construction market demand caused a decrease in revenues from our existing products which was more than offset by additional revenues related to our acquisitions. Towards the end of the first quarter, the Company received significant new orders, which increased our backlog to $103 million at June 30, 2014 from $77 million at December 31, 2013. This increase in orders will have a positive impact on future revenues. The Company believes that the North American energy sector will continue to grow and in turn will drive future demand for our products.
Additionally, the market for port handling equipment in Europe, CVSs historical market, overall continued to be weak. CVS has, however, been able to offset this effect by expanding their sales effort into other international markets and were able to secure an increase in orders in Q2 of 2014.
Factors Affecting Revenues and Gross Profit
The Company derives most of its revenue from purchase orders from dealers and distributors. The demand for the Companys products depends upon the general economic conditions of the markets in which the Company competes. The Companys sales depend in part upon its customers replacement or repair cycles. Adverse economic conditions, including a decrease in commodity prices, may cause customers to forego or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing machinery. Additionally, our Manitex Liftking subsidiary revenues are impacted by the timing of orders received for military forklifts and residential housing starts. CVS revenues are impacted in part by the timing of contract awards related to major port projects.
Gross profit varies from period to period. Factors that affect gross profit include product mix, production levels and cost of raw materials. Margins tend to increase when production is skewed towards larger capacity cranes, special mission oriented vehicles, specialized carriers and heavy material transporters.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
Net income for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company had a net income of $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the net income of $3.0 million consisted of revenue of $68.4 million, cost of sales of $55.3 million, research and development costs of $0.6 million, SG&A expenses of $7.4 million, interest expense of $0.7 million, and income tax expense of $1.4 million.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the net income of $2.7 million consisted of revenue of $62.6 million, cost of sales of $50.3 million, research and development costs of $0.6 million, SG&A expenses of $7.0 million, interest expense of $0.8 million, and income tax expense of $1.2 million.
Net revenues and gross profit For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net revenues and gross profit were $68.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 19.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, net revenues and gross profit were $62.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 19.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
29
Net revenues increased $5.8 million or 9.3% to $68.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $62.6 million for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in revenues is due to revenues generated by Sabre and Valla, two companies that were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013. Revenues from existing businesses were relatively flat. An increase in container handling sales were offset by decreased revenues from our other product lines.
Our Gross profit percent was relatively consistent decreasing a modest 0.4% to 19.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 19.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Research and developmentResearch and development was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2013.
Selling, general and administrative expenseSelling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $7.4 million compared to $7.1 million for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of $0.4 million. However, selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of revenues decreased to 10.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 11.3% for the same period in 2013.
The two companies acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013 had selling general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.9 million. This additional expense was offset by a net decrease in other expenses. A decrease in the provision for performance based incentive compensation of approximately $0.7 million contributed to the net decrease, which was offset by a net increase in other expenses including additional cost associated with the expansion of our sales organization.
Operating incomeFor the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had operating income of $5.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $0.9 million offset by $0.3 million increase in operating expenses. An increase in revenues accounts for the increase in gross profit as the gross profit percent decreased 0.4% between the second quarter 2013 and 2014. The increase in operating expenses is related to increased selling, general and administrative expenses which is explained above.
Interest expenseInterest expense was $0.72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.75 million for the comparable period in 2013. The modest decrease in interest expense is attributed to a decrease in the average interest rate paid by the Company which was offset by an increase in outstanding borrowings. The rate decreased as the interest rate on much of the Companys revolving debt is now indexed to LIBOR and the balances on higher interest rate term debt and capital leases have been reduced. The LIBOR based interest rate the Company is currently paying is lower than the prime rate that was being paid on revolving debt in the prior year.
Foreign currency transaction gains and lossesThe Company attempts to purchase forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units functional currency will be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds.
Foreign currency gains and losses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were insignificant.
Income taxFor the three months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013 the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The Companys provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Companys year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The annual effective tax rates (excluding discrete items) are estimated to be approximately 32% and 31% for 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Income tax expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three month period end June 30, 2013. This occurred as the effective tax rate for the second quarter 2014 increased to 32.5% from 31.2% for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for 2014 is favorably impacted by the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (Section 199) and state research and development tax credits. Additionally, the Company was able to recognize a federal research and development tax credit in 2013 but not in 2014 as the provision in the Internal Revenue Code authorizing the R&D credit has expired for 2014.
Net incomeNet income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.0 million. This compares with a net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $2.7 million. The change in net income is explained above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Net income for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company had a net income of $4.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the net income of $4.9 million consisted of revenue of $131 million, cost of sales of $106.2 million, research and development costs of $1.3 million, SG&A expenses of $14.7 million, interest expense of $1.5 million, foreign currency transaction gains of $0.1 million, and income tax expense of $2.3 million.
30
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the net income of $4.6 million consisted of revenue of $122.1 million, cost of sales of $99.6 million, research and development costs of $1.4 million, SG&A expenses of $13.2 million, interest expense of $1.3 million, foreign currency transaction losses of $0.1 million, and income tax expense of $1.9 million.
Net Revenues and Gross Profit For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net revenues and gross profit were $131.0 million and $24.7 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net revenues and gross profit were $122.1 million and $22.5 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Net revenues increased $8.9 million or 7.3% to $131 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $122.1 million for the comparable period in 2013.
Sabre and Valla, two companies acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013, had total revenues of approximately $14.0 million. Revenues generated by product lines that we sold in both the current and prior year declined by approximately $5.1 million. The decrease is primarily related to decreased revenues from the sale of material handling products, principally related to decreases in forklift and specialized trailer revenues. The decrease in forklift sales is attributed to a decrease in both military and commercial sales. Military sales have historically varied significantly from period to period depending on when orders are received. The Company expects increased revenues from the military sale in the second half of the year. Production issues were the primary reason for the decline in revenues for specialized trailers. These production issues are being addressed and the Company expects an increase in revenues from trailer sales in the third quarter.
Our gross profit percent was relatively consistent increasing a modest 0.5% to 18.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 18.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Research and developmentResearch and development for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1.3 million compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2013. The Companys research and development spending continues to reflects our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products that gives the Company a competitive advantage.
Selling, general and administrative expenseSelling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $14.7 million compared to $13.2 million for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of $1.5 million. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 11.2% of revenues an increase of 0.4% from the 10.8% for the comparable period in 2013.
Approximately $1.7million of the increase is attributed to additional selling, general and administrative expenses at the two companies that were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013. Another $0.7 million is related to expenses incurred in connection with our participation at the 2014 Con Expo trade show. The Con Expo show, which is held every three years, was held in Las Vegas in March of this year. This show is an international gathering place for the construction industries. It is estimated that 130,000 professionals from around the world attended the show. The two significant increases were offset by net other decreases of $0.9 million principally related to a decrease in the provision for performance based incentive compensation.
Operating income For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had operating income of $8.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $2.3 million offset by $1.4 million increase in operating expenses. An increase in revenues accounts for the increase in gross profit as the gross profit percent increased by 0.5% between the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The increase in operating expenses is related to increases in selling, general and administrative expense and research and development as explained above.
Interest expense Interest expense was $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in interest expense is related to increased expense during the first quarter of 2014. This increase is attributed to an increase in outstanding debt and higher interest rates during the first quarter. The interest rates paid on the Companys revolving debt is determined using a pricing grid contained in our banking agreement. At the end of the first quarter, interest rates on our revolving debt were decreased according to the aforementioned grid. As a result interest expense for the second quarter 2014 was slightly less than it was in the prior year.
Foreign currency transaction (losses) gains The Company attempts to purchase forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units functional currency will be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had a foreign currency transaction gain of $0.1 million compared to a loss of $0.1 for the same period in 2013.
31
Income tax For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The Companys provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Companys year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The annual effective tax rate (excluding discrete items) for 2014 is estimated to be approximately 32%, while the actual annual effective tax rate for 2013 was 30%, respectively.
Net income Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $4.9 million. This compares with a net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $4.6 million. The change in net income is explained above.

Net revenues
Net revenues increased $6.8 million to $65.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $58.7 million for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in revenues is due to revenues generated by Sabre and Valla, two companies that were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013. Revenues from existing businesses were relatively flat. An increase in container handling sales were offset by decreased revenues from our other product lines.
Net revenues increased $10.7 million to $124.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $113.4 million for the comparable period in 2013. Sabre and Valla, two companies acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013, had total revenues of approximately $14.0 million. Revenues generated by product lines that we sold in both the current and prior year declined by approximately $3.3 million. The decrease is primarily related to decreased revenues from the sale of material handling products, principally related to decreases in forklift and specialized trailer revenues. The decrease in forklift sales is attributed to a decrease in both military and commercial sales. Military sales have historically varied significantly from period to period depending on when orders are received. The Company expects increased revenues from the military sale in the second half of the year. Production issues were the primary reason for the decline in revenues for specialized trailers. These production issues are being addressed and the Company expects an increase in revenues from trailer sales in the third quarter.
Operating income and operating margins
Operating income of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was equivalent to 10.2% of net revenues compared to an operating income of $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 or 10.9% of net revenues. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $0.8 million offset by increased operating expense of $0.5 million. The increase in operating expenses is related to operating expenses of $0.9 million at the two companies acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013 offset by a net decrease in other operating expenses of $0.3 million. The decrease in the operating margin percent is principally due to the modest decrease in the gross profit percent and to a lesser degree and a net increase in operating expense as percent of revenue.
Operating income of $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was equivalent to 9.7% of net revenues compared to an operating income of $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 or 9.6% of net revenues. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $2.2 million offset by increased operating expense of $1.0 million. The increase in operating expenses is attributed to additional operating expenses at the two newly acquired companies and the cost incurred to attend the ConExpo trade show in March of this year. These two significant increases were partially offset by decreases selling expenses and commissions related our existing products, due to decreased revenues for existing products, and decreases in bonus provisions and selected staff reductions at certain operations.

The increase in the three and six month revenues is attributed to sales of Valla product during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Equipment Distribution Segment is a distributor of Valla Products in North America.
Operating income (loss) and operating margins
The Equipment Distribution segment had an operating income of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Equipment Distribution segment had an operating income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in operating income for the six months is primarily related to a decrease in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Equipment Distribution segment had an operating income of $0.06 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased slightly as the increase in the gross profit percent more than offset the modest decrease in revenues. Operating income declined due to an increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is attributed to several factors including (1) the expansion of the sales organization to support the new Valla and PM Group products, (2) higher building repair and maintenance costs, and (3) an increase in professional and accounting expenses.
Operating income for the second quarter decrease very slightly as increase operating expenses were largely offset by an increase in gross profit, the result of an increase in revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $3.2 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $6.1 million at December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company has U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities, with maturity dates of August 19, 2018 and our Canadian Subsidiary has a specialized export facility. At June 30, 2014 the Company had approximately $6.7 million available in North America to borrow under its revolving credit facilities.
At June 30, 2014, CVS had established demand credit facilities with eleven Italian banks. Under the facilities, CVS can borrow up to 0.3 million ($0.4 million) on an unsecured basis and additional amounts as advances against orders, invoices and letter of credit with a total maximum facilities (including the unsecured portion) of 10.5 million ($14.4 million). The maximum amount outstanding is limited to 80% of the assigned accounts receivable if there is an invoice issued or 50% if there is an order/contract issued. The banks will evaluate each request to borrow individually and determine the allowable advance percentage and interest rate. In making its determination the bank considers the customers credit and location of the customer. At June 30, 2014, the banks had advanced CVS 6.5 million ($8.8 million) and had issued performance bonds which total 0.5 million ($0.7 million), which also count against the maximum that can be borrowed under these facilities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, total debt increased by $5.6 million to $59.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $54.2 million at December 31, 2013.

Future availability under credit facilities
As stated above, the Company had cash of $3.2 million and approximately $6.7 million available to borrow under its credit facilities at June 30, 2014. Additionally, CVS has agreements with eleven Italian banks under which CVS can draw up to 10.5 million ($14.4 million) against specific orders, invoices and letters of credit. As of June 30, 2014, the banks had advanced 6.5 million (8.8 million) and had issued performance bonds which total 0.5 million ($0.7 million), which also count against the maximum that can be borrowed under these facilities. Any future advances against the Italian facilities are dependent on having available collateral.
The Company needs cash to fund normal working capital needs and to make scheduled debt payments as shown in the above table. Both the U.S. and Canadian credit facilities are asset based. The maximum the Company may borrow under either facility is the lower of the credit line or the available collateral, as defined in the credit agreements. Collateral under the agreements consists of stated percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
The collateral formula for the U.S. credit facility limits borrowing against inventory to 50% of eligible inventory (work in process inventory is excluded) and caps total borrowing against our inventory at $18.0 million in the U.S. and CDN $7.0 million in Canada. If our revenues were to increase significantly in the future, the provision limiting borrowing against inventory to 50% of eligible inventory may result in additional cash constraints. Our banks have increased these caps in the past to support our growth. There is, however, no assurance that the banks will do this in the future.
The Company expects cash flows from operations and existing availability under the current revolving credit facilities, nevertheless, will be adequate to fund future operations. If in the future, we were to determine that additional funding is necessary, we believe that it would be available.
2014
Operating activities consumed $8.1 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2014 comprised of net income of $4.9 million, non-cash items that totaled $2.9 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $15.9 million. The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $2.2 million, shared based compensation of $0.7 million and allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million offset by a decrease in inventory reserves of $0.1 million.
The change in assets and liabilities which consumed $15.9 million in cash is principally attributed to the following changes in assets and liabilities including an increase in accounts payable of $4.3 million and other current liabilities of $1.2 which generated cash, and increases in accounts receivable of $13.4 million, inventory of $7.0 million, and prepaid expenses of $0.8 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $0.2 million all of which consumed cash. The increases in accounts receivable is due to the increased revenues and the timing of customer payments. The increase in inventory is attributed an expected growth in revenues. The increase in accounts payable is due to additional inventory purchases and timing of payments to our vendors. The decrease in accrued expense is principally related to a decrease in accruals for management bonuses offset by an increase in accrued VAT taxes in Italy. The increase in other current liabilities related to an increase in customer deposits.
Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 consumed $0.4 million of cash which represent investments in several pieces of equipment.
Financing activities generated $5.7 million in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which compares to the $5.6 million net increase in outstanding debt reflected on the above table. The $0.1 million difference is an exchange rate difference that occurs as cash flows for foreign subsidiaries are calculated in local currencies and then converted to U.S. dollars. As such, the impact (in U.S. dollars) of change in exchange rates for the Canadian dollar and Euro had on outstanding debt are reflected on the cash flow statement on the line entitled effect of exchange rate changes on cash rather than being included in the financing activity section.
2013
Operating activities consumed $2.1 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2013 comprised of net income of $4.6 million, non-cash items that totaled $2.4 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $9.0 million. The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $1.8 million, an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million, shared based compensation of $0.5 million offset by a decrease in inventory reserves of $0.1 million.
35
The change in assets and liabilities which consumed $9.0 million in cash is principally attributed to the following changes in assets and liabilities including an increase in accounts payable of $1.5 million which generated cash, and increases in accounts receivable of $3.1 million, inventory of $6.9 million, and prepaid expenses of $0.3 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $0.2 million all of which consumed cash. The increases in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable are principally due to the increased revenues
Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consumed $0.8 million of cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company made a number of different capital investment, none of which individually were significant.
Financing activities generated $4.2 million in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Increase in lines of credit of $4.1 million, and a bank note to finance insurance premiums $0.8 million were sources of cash which were partially offset by working capital repayments of $0.5 and scheduled debt and capital lease payments of $0.2 million.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability and workers compensation matters which have arisen in the normal course of operations. Certain cases are at a preliminary stage, and it is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company. However, the Company does not believe that these contingencies, in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company had a conditional commitment to purchase the building in which CVS Ferrari srl operates. Under the agreement, CVS Ferrari srl had a commitment to purchase the building at the conclusion of a rental period that ended on June 30, 2014 for 9,200. The commitment to purchase the building was contingent on CVS Ferrari srl being able to secure a mortgage on market terms for 75% of the purchase price. The Company is not required to purchase the building as the required financing could not be obtained due to the appraised value of the building. The Company will continue to lease the aforementioned facility.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 requires enhanced disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements to present separately, by item, reclassifications out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the companys consolidated financial statements. The additional required disclosure is included in Note 5.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This ASU changes a parent entitys accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. A parent entity is required to release any related cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income into net income in the following circumstances: (i) a parent entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided; (ii) a partial sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity; (iii) a partial sale of an equity method investment that is not a foreign entity whereby the partial sale represents a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity that held the equity method investment; and (iv) the sale of an investment in a foreign entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the companys consolidated financial statements.
36
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.
Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Comerica has issued a $0.625 million standby letter of credit in favor of an insurance carrier to secure obligations which may arise in connection with future deductibles payments that may be incurred under the Companys workman compensation insurance policies.
Additionally, various Italian banks have issued performance bonds which total 0.5 million ($0.7 million) which are also guaranteed by the Company.
Item 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The companys market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the 2013 Form 10-K was filed. The companys quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are incorporated by reference from Part II, Item 7A of the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 4Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2014.
Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of June 30, 2014 to provide reasonable assurance that (1) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and (2) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.
37
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability and workers compensation matters which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company has product liability insurance with self insurance retention that ranges from $50 thousand to $0.5 million. Until 2012, all worker compensation claims were fully insured. Beginning in 2012, the Company has a $250 thousand per claim deductible on worker compensation claims and aggregates of $1,150 and $1.2 million for 2013 and 2014 policy years, respectively. Certain cases are at a preliminary stage, and it is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company. However, the Company does not believe that these contingencies, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make a reasonable estimate of the Companys liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.
As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2013.
38
Item 2Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
The Companys credit agreement with Comerica Bank directly restricts the Companys ability to declare or pay dividends without Comericas consent. In addition, pursuant to the Companys credit agreement with Comerica, the Company must maintain as specified in the agreement a Debt Service ratio and Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio.
