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 Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2013, and results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated balances as of December 31, 2012 were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards for interim financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 $159 and $161 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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.

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

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 stockholder’s 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.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

3. Financial Instruments—Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The following tables set forth the company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 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.

The following is summary of items that the Company measures at fair value:


	Fair Value at March 31, 2013
	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total
Asset
Forward currency exchange contracts	$	—	$	154		$	—	$	154

Total current assets at fair value	$	—	$	154		$	—	$	154

Liabilities:

	Fair Value at December 31, 2012
	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total
Asset

Total current assets at fair value	$	—	$	137		$	—	$	137

Forward currency exchange contracts	$	—	$	(13	)	$	—	$	(13	)

Total current liabilities at fair value	$	—	$	(13	)	$	—	$	(13	)

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.

4. Derivatives Financial Instruments

The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s Canadian and Italian subsidiaries.

As required, forward currency contracts are recognized as an asset or liability at fair value on the Company’s 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).

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had entered into a series of forward currency exchange contracts. The contracts obligate the Company to purchase approximately CDN $2,647 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature between April 2, 2013 and June 3, 2013. Under the contracts, the Company will purchase Canadian dollars at exchange rates between 0.9657 and 1.0195. The Canadian to US dollar exchange rates was $0.9843 at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, the Company had forward currency contracts to sell €800 at 1.4240 and €400 at 1.3538 with contract maturity dates of July 2, 2013 and January 31, 2014, respectively. The Euro to US dollar exchange rate was 1.2805 at March 31, 2013. 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 March 31, 2013, the Company had the following forward currency contracts:


Nature of Derivative	Amount		Type
Forward currency contract	CDN$	2,647		Not designated as hedge instrument
Forward currency contract	€	1,200		Not designated as hedge instrument

The following table provides the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments that are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Total derivatives NOT designated as a hedge instrument


	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
	Balance Sheet Location	March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012
Asset Derivatives
Foreign currency Exchange Contract	Prepaid expense and other	$	154		$	137

Liabilities Derivatives
Foreign currency Exchange Contract	Accrued expense	$	(47	)	$	(13	)

Total derivatives designated as a hedge instrument

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding forward currency contracts that were in place to hedge future sales and would have been designated as a hedge instrument.

The following tables provide the effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:


Derivatives Not designated as Hedge Instrument	Location of gain or (loss) recognized in Income Statement	Three months ended March 31,
Derivatives Not designated as Hedge Instrument		2013			2012
Forward currency contracts	Foreign currency transaction gains (losses)	$	(17	)	$	7

Derivatives designated as Hedge Instrument	Location of gain or (loss) recognized in Income Statement	Three months ended March 31,
Derivatives designated as Hedge Instrument		2013			2012
Forward currency contracts	Net revenue	$	—		$	(21	)

The Counterparty to 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.

5. 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 warrants, and restricted stock units. Details of the calculations are as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Net Income per common share
Basic	$	1,911	$	1,251
Diluted	$	1,911	$	1,251
Earnings per share
Basic	$	0.16	$	0.11
Diluted	$	0.16	$	0.11
Weighted average common share outstanding
Basic		12,275,759		11,683,306

Diluted
Basic		12,275,759		11,683,306
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units		32,033		1,524

		12,307,792		11,684,829

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, there are 105,000 warrants which are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the average number of diluted shares outstanding shown above. No potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

6. Equity

Stock Issuance

On March 8, 2012, the Company issued 27,463 shares of common stock to employees and Directors for restricted stock units issued under the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan, which had vested.

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 and May 28, 2009. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 500,000 shares. The total number of shares reserved for issuance however, can be adjusted to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in the Company’s capital structure. The Company’s 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 Company’s common stock on date of grant.

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 Company’s 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:


	Amount Borrowed		Repayment Period		Amount of Monthly Payment		Balance As of March 31, 2013
New equipment	$	225		60	$	4	$	186

Note 13. 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 $1,000. 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 Company’s 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.

Additionally beginning on December 31, 2011, the Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has a per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,000 and $1,150 for 2012 and 2013 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 March 31, 2013, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs $1,805 without interest in 19 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.

16. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s 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) are estimated to be approximately 31% and 34% for 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate is favorably impacted by the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (Section 199) and Federal Research and Development tax credits.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $686 which included discrete items of $117 primarily related to 2012 Federal Research & Development tax credits which were retroactively enacted by the American Taxpayer Reconciliation Act on January 2, 2013.

The Company’s management recognized the value of the development and the potential to introduce a new and complementary product line to its offerings. SL is owned by an executive officer of the Company. As such the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee approved the terms of asset acquisition before the Company executed an agreement with SL.

Purchase Agreement

On October 3, 2012, a purchase agreement was entered into by SL Industries Ltd and Manitex International, Inc. (the Company) for the acquisition by the Company of a 9 ton carry deck crane that had been developed by SL Industries on its own initiative using its own engineering and technical development staff. The total consideration payable to SL or its designate was $545 of which $200 was payable in 29,112 shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining balance is payable in cash.

Shares Issued

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the stock was valued at the average of the closing price for 7 days ending on September 13, 2012.

Assets Acquired at Fair Market Value

The total acquisition consideration is allocated to the assets acquired based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. The fair value of inventory was valued by management applying its knowledge of the resale value of this type of competitive product. The fair value of the unpatented technology was valued utilizing a form of both the Market Approach and Income Approach to valuation of intangible assets outlined in FASB ASC 820. The Relief from Royalty method used by the Company estimated the benefit of ownership as the relief from royalty expense that would be needed to be incurred in the absence of ownership.

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 and sign cranes. Manitex’s 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”) subsidiaryis a manufacturer of specialized rough terrain cranes and material handling products. Badger primarily serves the needs of the construction, municipality, and railroad industries.

The Company’s Manitex Liftking ULC (“Manitex Liftking” or “Liftking”) subsidiary 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 Liftking’s 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 Company’s unique customer needs and requirements. The Company’s specialized lifting equipment has met the particular needs of customers in various industries that include utility, ship building and steel mill industries.

The Company’s Manitex Load King, Inc. (“Load King”)subsidiary 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.

The Company’s Italian subsidiary, CVS Ferrari, srl (“CVS”), manufactures a range of container handling equipment including reach stackers, empty container handlers, forklift, and tractors. CVS’s serves the needs of ports and inter-modal customers on a worldwide basis.

Equipment Distribution Segment

The Company’s Crane and Machinery division is a crane dealer that distributes Terex rough terrain and truck cranes and Manitex boom trucks and sky cranes. This division supplies repair parts for a wide variety of medium to heavy duty construction equipment sold both domestically and internationally. The crane products are used primarily for infrastructure development and commercial construction; applications include road and bridge construction, general contracting, roofing, and sign construction and maintenance.

Additionally, the Company markets previously-owned construction and heavy equipment, domestically and internationally through its North American Equipment Exchange division (“NAEE”). 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 increase in the Company’s revenues has been attributed to demand from niche market segments, particularly the North American energy sector. During the current quarter, there has been a softening in the demand for our

products which are related to the energy sector. The Company believes the current decrease in demand from the energy sector is temporary, and that the North American energy sector will continue to grow and in turn will drive future demand for our products. The Company does not believe that future revenues will be significantly impacted because the Company has a significant backlog ($108 million at March 31, 2013) and because it believes that energy sector demand will rebound .

Factors Affecting Revenues and Gross Profit

The Company derives most of its revenue from purchase orders from dealers and distributors. The demand for the Company’s products depends upon the general economic conditions of the markets in which the Company competes. The Company’s 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 March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Net income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had a net income of $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the net income of $1.9 million consisted of revenue of $59.6 million, cost of sales of $49.3 million, research and development costs of $0.8 million, SG&A expenses of $6.2 million, interest expense of $0.6 million, foreign currency transaction losses of $0.1 million, and income tax expense of $0.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the net income of $1.3 million consisted of revenue of $42.8 million, cost of sales of $34.3 million, research and development costs of $0.7 million, SG&A expenses of $5.4 million, interest expense of $0.6 million and income tax expense of $0.6 million.

Net revenues and gross profit— For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net revenues and gross profit were $59.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 17.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net revenues and gross profit were $42.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 20.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012

Net revenues increased $16.7 million or 39% to $59.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $42.8 million for the comparable period in 2012. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company saw a very sudden and significant increase in demand for its products from the energy sector. As a result the Company and its suppliers began to increase production capacities during the second quarter of 2012. Approximately, half of the increase in revenues is the result of an increase in capacity which allows us to increase shipments of our products that supports the energy sector. Increases in CVS sales to support the needs of ports and inter-modal customers and increases in sales of a broad range of the Company’s products which are used primarily in industrial and infrastructure development, each account for approximately 25% of the increase in revenues.

Our gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased 2.8% to 17.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from 20.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Although part sales were relatively unchanged between years, part sales as a percent of revenues decreased from approximately 17% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. As parts sell at significantly higher margins, this had the impact of decreasing margins by approximately 1.2%. Another 1.1% is related to unabsorbed labor and overhead at our boom truck manufacturing plant. The Company is forecasting boom truck production to increase during the second quarter and unabsorbed labor and overhead to decrease significantly in the second quarter. The remaining 0.5% of the decrease is attributed to an increase in chassis sales, which are sold with only a nominal markup, other changes in sales mix and startup inefficiencies related to new product introductions.

Research and development—Research and development for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.8 million compared to $0.7 million for the comparable period in 2012. The 20% increase in research and development expense reflects our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products that gives the Company a competitive advantage.

Selling, general and administrative expense—Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $6.2 million compared to $5.4 million for the comparable period in 2012, an increase of $0.8 million. As a percent of revenues selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 2.2% to 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 12.6% for the comparable prior year period. Approximately half the increase is attributed to an increase in selling expenses, which are partially a direct impact of an increase in revenues. Approximately 20% of the increase is attributed an increase in internal and external audit cost. This increase in audit related costs is in part the result of establishing an internal audit function in second quarter 2012. The remaining increase is attributed to increases in a number of different expenses including increases for liability insurance, health insurance, and travel.

Operating income—For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had operating income of $3.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $1.7 million offset by $0.9 million increase in operating expenses. An increase in revenues accounts for the increase in gross profit as the gross profit percent decreased 2.8% between the first quarter 2012 and 2013. The increase in operating expenses is related to increases in research and development costs and selling, general and administrative expenses which are explained above.

Interest expense—Interest expense was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses—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 three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred a foreign currency loss of $0.1 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had insignificant foreign currency gains.

Income tax—For the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012 the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s 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 31% and 34% for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The effective tax rate for 2013 is favorably impacted by the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (Section 199) and Federal Research and Development tax credits. In the prior year, the Company was not able to recognize the Domestic Production Activities Deduction as it had unutilized net operating loss carryforwards. Additionally, the Company was not able to recognize a Federal Research and Development tax credit in 2012 as the provision in the Internal Revenue Code authorizing the R&D credit had expired.

The American Taxpayer Reconciliation Act enacted on January 2, 2013, retroactively restored the Research and Development credit back to January 1, 2012. The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2013, includes discrete items of $117 primarily related to 2012 Federal Research & Development tax credits which were retroactively restored.

Net income—Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1.9 million. This compares with a net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $1.3 million. The change in net income is explained above.

Net revenues	$	54,744		$	38,545
Operating income		4,428			3,830
Operating margin		8.1	%		9.9	%

Net revenues

Net revenues increased $16.2 million to $54.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $38.5 million for the comparable period in 2012. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company saw a very sudden and significant increase in demand for its products from the energy sector. As a result the Company and its suppliers began to increase production capacities during the second quarter of 2012. Approximately, half of the increase in revenues is the result of an increase in capacity which allows us to increase shipments of our products that supports the energy sector. Increases in CVS sales to support the needs of ports and inter-modal customers and increases in sales of a broad range of the Company’s products which are used primarily in industrial and infrastructure development, each account for approximately 25% of the increase in revenues.

Operating income and operating margins

Operating income of $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was equivalent to 8.1% of net revenues compared to an operating income of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 or 9.9% of net revenues. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $1.4 million offset by increased operating expense of $0.8 million. The increase in gross profit is due to an increase in revenues offset by a 3.7% decrease in the gross margin percent. The decrease in gross margin percent is attributed to a change in product mix (including the effect that the change in part sales as a percent of total sales has), the increase in chassis sales, which are sold with only a nominal markup, unabsorbed labor and overhead variances at our boom truck plant, and startup inefficiencies related to new product introductions. The Company is forecasting boom truck production to increase during the second quarter and unabsorbed labor and overhead to decrease significantly in the second quarter.

The increase in operating expenses is attributed to increases of $0.1 million and $0.7 million in research and development cost and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. Approximately half the increase in selling, general and administrative expense is attributed to an increase in selling expenses, which are partially a direct impact of an increase in revenues. The remaining increase is attributed to increases in a number of different expenses including increases for liability insurance, health insurance, and travel.

Net revenues	$	4,827		$	4,740
Operating income (loss)		225			93
Operating margin		4.7	%		2.0	%

Net revenues—Net revenues increased $0.1 million to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $4.7 million for the comparable period in 2012.

Operating income (loss) and operating margins—The Equipment Distribution segment had an operating income of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $0.2 million offset by an increase in operating expense of $0.1 million. The increase in gross profit is principally the result of a 5.5% increase in the gross margin percent. The margin percent improved as the prior year included a non-recurring sale of sale of several Terex cranes purchased in 2009 that were sold a modest loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $2.1 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company has U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities, with maturity dates of April 1, 2015 and our Canadian Subsidiary has a specialized export facility. At March 31, 2013 the Company had approximately $5.2 million available to borrow under its revolving credit facilities. Additionally, our Canadian subsidiary had $1.1 availability under its specialized export facility.

Additionally, CVS has agreements with seven Italian banks under which CVS can borrow approximately €7.7 million ($9.9 million) against specific orders, invoices and letters of credit. As of March 31, 2013, CVS had received advances of € 5.7 million ($7.3 million). The amount of future advances is dependent on open orders, invoices and letters of credits that exist at the time an advance is requested. The percent that the bank will advance is dependent on both the nature of documents against which they are advancing and the credit worthiness of the customer.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, total debt increased by $3.0 million to $52.1 million at March 31, 2013 from $49.1 million at December 31, 2012.

The following is a summary of the net increase in our indebtedness from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013:

Future availability under credit facilities

As stated above, the Company had cash of $2.1 million and approximately $6.2 million available to borrow under its credit facilities at March 31, 2013. Additionally, CVS has agreements with seven Italian banks under which CVS can draw up to €7.7 million ($9.9 million) against specific orders, invoices and letters of credit. As of March 31, 2013, CVS had received advances of €5.7 million (7.3 million) from the banks. 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 overall market for construction equipment has improved but has not returned to pre-2008 levels. Certain market segments, particularly, the North American energy sector is currently very strong. As a result, we have increased our inventories to support future sales growth. 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 $16.0 million. In the future, the provision limiting borrowing against inventory to 50% of eligible inventory may result in additional cash constraints. However, 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.

We will likely need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to support our growth strategy, which may include additional acquisitions. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.

2013

Operating activities consumed $2.5 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 comprised of net income of $1.9 million, non-cash items that totaled $1.2 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $5.6 million. The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million, shared based compensation of $0.4 million offset by a decrease in inventory reserves of $0.1 million.

The change in assets and liabilities which consumed $5.6 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 $3.2 million, inventory of $1.9 million, and prepaid expenses of $0.9 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $1.1 million all of which consumed cash. The increases in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable are principally due to the increased revenues. The increase in prepaid expense is attributed to an increase in prepaid insurance which is the result of payments being made in connection with the annual renewal of various policies. The decrease in accrued expense is principally related to a decrease in accruals for management bonuses of $1.8 million offset by an increase in accrual for taxes other than income taxes of $0.8 million. The bonus accrual was decreased as bonuses accrued at December 31, 2012 were paid in March 2013. The increase in the accrual for taxes other than income taxes is primarily related in an increase by our Italian subsidiary in the accrual for value added taxes.

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consumed $0.4 million of cash which represents an investment in a several pieces of equipment.

Financing activities generated $3.3 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which compares to the $3.0 million net increase in outstanding debt reflected on the above table. The $0.3 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.

2012

Operating activities consumed $2.3 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2012 comprised of net income of $1.3 million, non-cash items that totaled $1.7 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $5.2 million. The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million, a decrease in deferred tax assets of $0.7 million and shared based compensation of $0.2 million.

The change in assets and liabilities which consumed $5.2 million in cash is principally attributed to the following changes in assets and liabilities including increases in accounts payable of $6.0 million and accrued expenses of $1.1 million which generated cash and increases in accounts receivable of $6.5 million, inventory of $5.3 million, and prepaid expenses of $0.6 million which consumed cash. The increases in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable are principally due to the increased revenues. The increase in accrued expense is principally related to an increase in accruals related to employee compensation at our Italian subsidiary. The increase in prepaid expense is attributed to an increase in prepaid insurance which is the result of payments being made in connection with the annual renewal of various policies.

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 consumed $0.2 million of cash which represents an investment in a several pieces of equipment.

Financing activities generated $2.8 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Increase in lines of credit of $2.7 million, work capital borrowings of $0.9 million and a bank note to finance insurance premiums $0.7 million were sources of cash which were partially offset by scheduled debt payments.

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 has a conditional commitment to purchase the building in which CVS Ferrari srl operates. Under the agreement, CVS Ferrari srl has a commitment to purchase the building at the conclusion of a rental period that ends on June 30, 2014 for €9,200. The commitment to purchase the building is contingent on CVS Ferrari srl being able to secure a mortgage on market terms for 75% of the purchase price.

Comerica has issued a $0.425 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 Company’s workman compensation insurance policies.

Additionally, various Italian banks have issued performance bonds which total €506,000 ($649,000) which are also guaranteed by the Company.

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the 2012 Form 10-K was filed. The company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are incorporated by reference from Part II, Item 7A of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4—Controls 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 March 31, 2013.

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 March 31, 2013 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 Commission’s 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.

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 March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1—Legal Proceedings

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 fifty thousand to $1 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 $1.0 and $1.2 million for 2012 and 2013 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 Company’s 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.

Item 1A—Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The Company’s credit agreement with Comerica Bank directly restricts the Company’s ability to declare or pay dividends without Comerica’s consent. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s credit agreement with Comerica, the Company must maintain as specified in the agreement a Debt Service ratio and Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio.
