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

6

disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 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 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, 2013. 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, 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 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 $333 at March 31, 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.

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.

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 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 effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

7

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.

Business Combinations—The 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 Company’s results from their respective dates of acquisition of August 19, 2013 and November 30, 2013.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s 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 Seller’s operating assets and business operations, including the Seller’s 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:

	Fair Value Euros		Fair Value U.S. Dollars
Seller note	€	165	$	228
Contingent consideration		183		250
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.

8

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 year’s 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 Company’s 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:

Purchase price allocation

	Fair Value Euros			Fair Value U.S. Dollars
Accounts receivable	€	730		$	999
Inventory		872			1,193
Prepaids		29			41
Property and equipment		155			212
Trade names and trademarks		400			547
Unpatented technology		430			588
Customer relationships		200			273
Goodwill		1,780			2,434
Accounts payable		(1,944	)		(2,658	)
Working capital borrowings		(1,589	)		(2,173	)
Accrued expenses		(715	)		(978	)
	€	348		$	478

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 Valla’s product line.

For income tax purposes, intangible assets and goodwill will be amortized and will result in future tax deductions.

9

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 Seller’s operating assets and business operations, including the Seller’s 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:

Cash	$	13,000
87,928 shares of Manitex International, Inc. common stock		1,000
Total purchase consideration	$	14,000

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 current quarter, 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:

Account	Provisional amount recorded as of December 31, 2013		Adjustment base on final purchase price allocation			Revised amount recorded as of December 31, 2013
Accounts Receivable due from seller	$	467	$	(234	)	$	233
Goodwill		4,577		148			4,725
Accrued Expenses		226		(86	)		140

The following table summarizes the allocation of the Sabre acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Purchase price allocation:

Accounts receivable	$	1,148
Receivable due from seller		233
Inventory		1,497
Total fixed assets		1,431
Non-competition agreements		50

Accounts payable		(730	)
Accrued expenses		(140	)
Customer deposits		(467	)

Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by Sabre, 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.

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 $4,725 reflects the inherent value in the Sabre reputation, which has been built since being founded in 2005 and the prospects for significant future earnings based on Sabre’s past performance.

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.

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisition of Sabre and Valla occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent the results of operations that would have been had the acquisition occurred as of the date indicated, nor of future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Net revenues	$	66,138
Net income	$	1,681
Income per share:
Basic	$	0.14
Diluted	$	0.14
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic		12,363,687
Diluted		12,395,720

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 additional expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Pro forma adjustments to record interest expense on term loans would have resulted in $139 of additional interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 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 an increase in expense of $63 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Pro forma adjustments for acquisition costs including accounting, legal and consulting fees would have resulted in $256 in an increase to expense for the three months ended March 31, 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 $182 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Additionally, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $174 on Sabre earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Historically, Sabre did not record income taxes as it was a Sub Chapter S Corporation. Finally, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $95 for the three months ended March 31, 2013related to Valla operating loss.

A pro forma adjustment was made to increase both basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding by 87,928 to reflect the shares issued in connection with the Sabre acquisition.

There are no pro forma adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

4. 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, 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.

The following is summary of items that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Fair Value at March 31, 2014
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

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 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).

At March 31, 2014, the Company had entered into a series of forward currency exchange contracts. The contracts obligate the Company to purchase approximately CDN $857 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature between April 30, 2014 and June 10, 2014. Under the contracts, the Company will purchase Canadian dollars at exchange rates between 0.9619 and 0.9024. The Canadian to US dollar exchange rates was 0.9046 March 31, 2014. At March 31, 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 1.3770 at March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 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 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 warrants, and restricted stock units. Details of the calculations are as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Net Income per common share
Basic	$	1,877	$	1,911

7. Equity

Stock Issuance

The Company issued 20,892 shares of common stock on March 6, 2014 and 27,463 shares of common stock on March 8, 2013 to employees and Directors for restricted stock units issued under the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan, which had vested on those dates.

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 917,046 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.

The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units:

	March 31, 2014
Outstanding on January 1, 2014		142,851
Units granted during the period		34,292
Vested and issued		(20,892	)
Forfeited		(1,000	)
Outstanding on March 31, 2014		155,251

15

On March 6, 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 20,000 restricted stock units to five independent Directors pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Restricted stock units of 6,600, 6,600 and 6,800 vest on March 6, 2014, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

On March 6, 2014, the Company granted 14,292 restricted stock units to employees pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units which vested immediately represent a portion of the employees’ 2013 bonus award that was paid in restricted stock units.

The value of the restricted stock is being charged to compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense includes expense related to restricted stock units of $284 and $151 for the three months March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $598, $707 and $364 for the remainder of 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

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 company’s consolidated financial statements. The additional required disclosure is included in Note 5.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s 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 entity’s 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 company’s 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.

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s 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 Company’s assets. The facility contains customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on acquisitions, dividends, repurchase of the Company’s 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

18

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.

U.S. Revolver

At March 31, 2014, the Company had drawn $29,769 under the $40 million U.S. Revolver. The U.S. Revolver bears interest, at the Company’s option at the base rate plus a spread or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a spread. The base rate is the greater of the bank’s 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. At March 31, 2014, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was capped at $35,735.

Under the Credit Agreement, the banks are also paid 0.375% annual facility fee payable in quarterly installments.

The agreement permits the Company to issue unsecured guarantees of indebtedness owed by CVS Ferrari, srl to foreign banks in respect to working capital financing, not to exceed the lesser of $9,000 or the amount of such financing. Additionally the agreement allows the Company to make or allow to remain outstanding any investment (whether such investment shall be of the character of investment of shares of stock, evidence of indebtedness or other securities or otherwise) in, or any loans or advances to CVS or to any other wholly-owned foreign subsidiary in an amount not to exceed $7,500.

Canadian Revolver

At March 31, 2014, the Company had drawn $6,225 under the Canadian Revolver. The Company is eligible to borrow up to $9,000. 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 $850 and (3) 50% of eligible inventory excluding work in process inventory. Under the agreement, total inventory collateral, however, cannot exceed CDN$5,500. At March 31, 2014, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was $6,305. The indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of Manitex Liftking ULC’s 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 March 31, 2014 the spread on both the U.S. Prime based borrowing and Canadian Prime based borrowings was 0.00%.

On April 22, 2014, an amendment to the credit agreement increases the work in process inventory cap from CDN $850 to CDN $1,000 and the total inventory cap from $5,500 to CDN $7,000.

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.

Load King Debt

In November 2011, the Company’s Load King Subsidiary used its manufacturing facility as collateral to secure mortgage financing with BED (South Dakota Board of Economic Development) and 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 March 31, 2014 of $782, $802 and $286, 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 March 31, 2014, Sabre had a note payable with a balance of $15 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 March 31, 2014, CVS had established demand credit facilities with ten Italian banks. Under the facilities, CVS can borrow up to €210 ($289) 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 €8,490 ($11,691). The Company has granted guarantees in respect to available credit facilities in the amount of €5,850($8,055). 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 customer’s credit and location of the customer.

20

At March 31, 2014, the banks had advanced CVS €5,303 ($7,303), at variable interest rates which currently range from 2.25% to 7.35%. At March 31, 2014, the Company has guaranteed €5,012 ($6,901) of CVS’s outstanding debt.

Note Payable—Bank

At March 31, 2014, the Company has a $476 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 March 31, 2014, the note had remaining principal balance of $228.

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 March 31, 2014, the outstanding capital lease obligation is $2,563.

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 Company has an option to purchase the facility for $500 by giving notice to the landlord of its intent to purchase the Facility. The Landlord must receive such notice at least three months prior to end of the Lease term. At March 31, 2014, the Company has outstanding capital lease obligation of $572. The Company has given the landlord notice of its intent to purchase the facility.

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, 2014
New equipment	$	225		60	$	4	$	144
Used equipment	$	1,754		36	$	53	$	1,047
Total	$	1,979			$	57	$	1,191

21

The Company has three additional capital leases. As of March 31, 2014, the capitalized lease obligation in aggregate related to the three leases was $123.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has a per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,000, $1,150 $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 March 31, 2014, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs $1,710 without interest in 18 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 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.

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.

24

17. 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) is estimated to be approximately 32% for 2014. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

The increase in the effective tax rate from 2013 to 2014 is primarily due to the amount of research and development credit being recognized and to a lesser extent a change in where our income is being derived. In first quarter 2013, the Company recognized the research and development credit for not only the first quarter of 2013 but all of 2012. This occurred as the research and development credits had expired at the end of 2011 and was only reinstated in January 2013 retroactively to the beginning of 2012. The Research and development credit provision in the U.S. tax code expired again at the end of 2013 as such no research and development credit was recognized in 2014

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $905. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $686. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2014 were approximately $255, which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2014 the Company had accrued immaterial amounts for the potential payment of interest and penalties.

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. 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”) 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 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.

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, which 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 Company’s existing dealer network. The tanks are used in a variety of end markets such as petrochemical, waste management and oil and gas drilling.

Equipment Distribution Segment

The Equipment Distribution segment located in Bridgeview, Illinois operates as Manitex Valla North America sales organization and is a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes, PM knuckle boom cranes and Manitex’s 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 Company’s 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 quarter, the Company received significant new orders, which increased our backlog to $100 million at March 31, 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, CVS’s historical market, overall continued to be weak. CVS has, however, been able to offset this effect by expanding sales effort into other international markets.

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.

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.

Net revenues and gross profit—For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net revenues and gross profit were $62.6 million and $11.6 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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.

Net revenues increased $3.0 million to $62.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $59.6 million for the comparable period in 2013. Without the Sabre and Valla acquisitions, revenues would have decreased $4.8 million, as Sabre and Valla had combined revenues of $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Although crane product sales are down approximately 10% compared to the fourth quarter 2013, they are roughly comparable to first quarter of 2013. As such, the decrease in revenues is attributed to decrease in the Company’s other material handling products, principally due to the timing of military orders and also a weaker demand for our specialized trailers. Recently, a number of military orders have been received with scheduled delivery beginning in the second half of the year.

Our gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased 1.3% to 18.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 17.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Approximately 50% of the increase in the gross margin percent is attributed to higher margins derived at the newly acquired businesses, and the other half of the improvement is attributed to product mix.

Research and development—Research and development expense was relatively consistent as research and developments costs were $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expense—Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $7.3 million compared to $6.2 million for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of $1.1 million. The increase is attributed to additional expenses for the two companies acquired subsequent to March 31, 2013 and the approximate $0.7 million 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.

Operating income—For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had operating income of $3.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $1.4 million offset by $1 million increase in operating expenses. An increase in revenues combined with a modest improvement in gross profit percent accounts for the increase in gross profit. As explained above the increase in operating expense is attributed to additional Con Expo cost and additional costs related to the two acquisitions.

Interest expense—Interest expense was $0.8 and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in interest expense is attributed to higher cost of borrowing for the Company. The Company’s borrowing cost increased when the Company entered into a syndicated banking arrangement last year. The increase is in part attributed to higher facility fees provided for in the syndicated banking agreement.

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, 2014, and 2013, foreign currency gains and losses were insignificant.

Income tax—For the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013 the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.9 million and $0.7 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 32% and 30% for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The increase is primarily due to the amount of research and development credit being recognized and to a lesser extent a change in where our income is being derived. In first quarter 2013, the Company recognized the research and development credit for not only the first quarter of 2013 but all of 2012. This occurred as the research and development credits had expired at the end of 2011 and was only reinstated in January 2013 retroactively to the beginning of 2012. The Research and development credit provision in the U.S. tax code expired again at the end of 2013 as such no research and development credit was recognized in 2014.

Net income—Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.9 million. This compares with a net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $1.9 million.

Net revenues

Net revenues increased $3.9 million to $58.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $54.7 million for the comparable period in 2013. Without the Sabre and Valla acquisitions, revenues would have decreased $4.8 million, as Sabre and Valla had combined revenues of $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Although crane product sales are down approximately 10% compared to the fourth quarter 2013, they are roughly comparable to first quarter of 2013. As such, the decrease in revenues is attributed to decrease in the Company’s other material handling products, principally due to the timing of military orders and also a weaker demand for our specialized trailers. Recently, a number of military orders have been received with scheduled delivery beginning in the second half of the year.

Operating income and operating margins

Operating income of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was equivalent to 9.1% of net revenues compared to an operating income of $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 8.1% of net revenues. The increase in operating income is due to an increase in gross profit of $1.4 million offset by increased operating expenses of $0.5 million. The increase in gross profit is due to an increase in revenues combined with 1.3% increase in the gross profit percent. Approximately 50% of the increase in the gross margin percent is attributed to higher margins derived at the newly acquired businesses. The other half of the improvement is attributed to product mix. The increase in operating expenses is attributed to additional expenses for the two companies acquired subsequent to March 31, 2013 and the approximate $0.7 million incurred in connection with our participation at the 2014 Con Expo trade show offset by a $0.1 decrease in research and development.

Operating income as a percent of revenue improved 1.0% to 9.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 8.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The improvement is the result of an increase in the gross profit percent of 1.3% which was reduced by 0.3% as operating expense as percent of revenues increased from 2013 to 2014.

Net revenues	$	4,717		$	4,827
Operating income		61			225
Operating margin		1.3	%		4.7	%

Net revenues—Net revenues for the three month ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 were relatively unchanged decreasing $0.1 million to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $4.8 million for the comparable period in 2013.

Operating income and operating margins—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 increased slightly as the increase in the gross profit percent more than offset the modest decrease in revenues. Operating income and operating margin declined due to an increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expense 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 million at March 31, 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 March 31, 2014 the Company had approximately $6.4 million available in North America to borrow under its revolving credit facilities.

At March 31, 2014, CVS had established demand credit facilities with ten Italian banks. Under the facilities, CVS can borrow up to €210 ($289) 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 €8,490 ($11,691). 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 customer’s credit and location of the customer. At March 31, 2014, the banks had advanced CVS €5,305 ($7,303) and had issued performance bonds which total €550($757), which also count against the maximum that can be borrowed under these facilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, total debt decreased by $1.6 million to $52.6 million at March 31, 2014 from $54.2 million at December 31, 2013.

The following is a summary of the net increase in our indebtedness from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014:

Facility	Increase/ (decrease)

Future availability under credit facilities

As stated above, the Company had cash of $1.1 million and approximately $6.4 million available to borrow under its credit facilities at March 31, 2014. Additionally, CVS has agreements with ten Italian banks under which CVS can draw up to €8.5 million ($11.7 million) against specific orders, invoices and letters of credit. As of March 31, 2014, CVS had received advances of €5.3 million ($7.3 million) from the banks and had issued performance bonds which total €550($757), 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.

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.

2014

Operating activities consumed $3.7 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 comprised of net income of $1.9 million, non-cash items that totaled $1.5 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $7.1 million. The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million, shared based compensation of $0.5 million offset by a decrease in inventory reserves of $0.1 million.

The change in assets and liabilities which consumed $7.1 million in cash is principally attributed to the following changes in assets and liabilities including an increases in accounts payable of $2.6 million and other current liabilities of $0.6 million which generated cash, and increases in accounts receivable of $5.5 million, inventory of $2.7 million, and prepaid expenses of $0.2 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $1.9 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. The increase in other current liabilities is related to an increase in customer deposits.

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consumed $0.1 million of cash which represents an investment in a several pieces of equipment.

31

Financing activities consumed $1.1 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which compares to the $1.6 million net decrease in outstanding debt reflected on the above table. The $0.5 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 $2.5 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. Increase in lines of credit of $1.6 million, work capital borrowings of $1.4 million and a bank note to finance insurance premiums $0.8 million were sources of cash which were partially offset by scheduled debt and capital lease payments of $0.5 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 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, for a discussion of the Company’s other critical accounting policies.

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 company’s consolidated financial statements. The additional required disclosure is included in Note 5.

32

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s 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 entity’s 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 company’s 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.

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 €729,000 ($1,004,000) 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 2013 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, 2013.

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, 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 March 31, 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 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.

33

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, 2014 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 $50 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 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, 2013.

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.

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 Seller’s operating assets and business operations, including the Seller’s 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:

	Fair Value Euros		Fair Value U.S. Dollars
Seller note	€	165	$	228
Contingent consideration		183		250
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 year’s 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 Company’s 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:

Purchase price allocation

	Fair Value Euros			Fair Value U.S. Dollars
Accounts receivable	€	730		$	999
Inventory		872			1,193
Prepaids		29			41
Property and equipment		155			212
Trade names and trademarks		400			547
Unpatented technology		430			588
Customer relationships		200			273
Goodwill		1,780			2,434
Accounts payable		(1,944	)		(2,658	)
Working capital borrowings		(1,589	)		(2,173	)
Accrued expenses		(715	)		(978	)
	€	348		$	478

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 Valla’s 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 Seller’s operating assets and business operations, including the Seller’s 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:

Cash	$	13,000
87,928 shares of Manitex International, Inc. common stock		1,000
Total purchase consideration	$	14,000

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 current quarter, 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:

Account	Provisional amount recorded as of December 31, 2013		Adjustment base on final purchase price allocation			Revised amount recorded as of December 31, 2013
Accounts Receivable due from seller	$	467	$	(234	)	$	233
Goodwill		4,577		148			4,725
Accrued Expenses		226		(86	)		140

The following table summarizes the allocation of the Sabre acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Purchase price allocation:

Accounts receivable	$	1,148
Receivable due from seller		233
Inventory		1,497

Accounts payable		(730	)
Accrued expenses		(140	)

Net assets acquired	$	14,000

Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by Sabre, 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 $4,725 reflects the inherent value in the Sabre reputation, which has been built since being founded in 2005 and the prospects for significant future earnings based on Sabre’s past performance.

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.

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisition of Sabre and Valla occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent the results of operations that would have been had the acquisition occurred as of the date indicated, nor of future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Weighted average common shares outstanding:

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 additional expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Pro forma adjustments to record interest expense on term loans would have resulted in $139 of additional interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 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 an increase in expense of $63 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Pro forma adjustments for acquisition costs including accounting, legal and consulting fees would have resulted in $256 in an increase to expense for the three months ended March 31, 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 $182 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Additionally, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $174 on Sabre earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Historically, Sabre did not record income taxes as it was a Sub Chapter S Corporation.

A pro forma adjustment was made to increase both basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding by 87,928 to reflect the shares issued in connection with the Sabre acquisition.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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, 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 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, 2013. 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, 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 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 $333 at March 31, 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.

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.

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 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 effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

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.

Business Combinations—The 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 Company’s results from their respective dates of acquisition of August 19, 2013 and November 30, 2013.

Reclassification

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

As of December 31, 2013 the Company had an accounts receivable of $6 and $7 from LiftMaster and SL, respectively and accounts payable of $6 and $796 to BGI and SL, respectively.

The following is a summary of the amounts attributable to certain related party transactions as described in the footnotes to the table, for the periods indicated:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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 $333 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Inventory Valuation

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

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

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.

Litigation Claims

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

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 effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

Comprehensive Income

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.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations—The 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 Company’s results from their respective dates of acquisition of August 19, 2013 and November 30, 2013.

Reclassification

Reclassification

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

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).

12. Accrued Warranty

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.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives Financial Instruments

5. 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).

At March 31, 2014, the Company had entered into a series of forward currency exchange contracts. The contracts obligate the Company to purchase approximately CDN $857 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature between April 30, 2014 and June 10, 2014. Under the contracts, the Company will purchase Canadian dollars at exchange rates between 0.9619 and 0.9024. The Canadian to US dollar exchange rates was 0.9046 March 31, 2014. At March 31, 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 1.3770 at March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 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.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had the following forward currency contracts:

Income Taxes

17. 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) is estimated to be approximately 32% for 2014. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

The increase in the effective tax rate from 2013 to 2014 is primarily due to the amount of research and development credit being recognized and to a lesser extent a change in where our income is being derived. In first quarter 2013, the Company recognized the research and development credit for not only the first quarter of 2013 but all of 2012. This occurred as the research and development credits had expired at the end of 2011 and was only reinstated in January 2013 retroactively to the beginning of 2012. The Research and development credit provision in the U.S. tax code expired again at the end of 2013 as such no research and development credit was recognized in 2014

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $905. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $686. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2014 were approximately $255, which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2014 the Company had accrued immaterial amounts for the potential payment of interest and penalties.

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 $850 and (3) 50% of eligible inventory excluding work in process inventory. Under the agreement, total inventory collateral, however, cannot exceed CDN$5,500. At March 31, 2014, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was $6,305. The indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of Manitex Liftking ULC’s 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 March 31, 2014 the spread on both the U.S. Prime based borrowing and Canadian Prime based borrowings was 0.00%.

On April 22, 2014, an amendment to the credit agreement increases the work in process inventory cap from CDN $850 to CDN $1,000 and the total inventory cap from $5,500 to CDN $7,000.

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 March 31, 2014, the maximum the Company could have borrowed based upon available collateral under the Specialized Export Facility was $2,150. 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 March 31, 2014). Any borrowings under the facility in U.S. dollars bear interest at the U.S. prime rate (prime was 3.25% at March 31, 2014). Repayment of advances made under the Export Facility are due sixty days after shipment of the goods, or five business days after the borrower receives payment in full for the goods covered by the guarantee (the “Scheduled Payment Date”) or upon the termination of the EDC guarantee.

At March 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowing in connection with the Specialized Export Facility of $1,834.

Note Payable—Terex

At March 31, 2014, the Company has a note payable to Terex Corporation with a remaining balance of $500. The note was issued in connection with the purchase of substantially all of the domestic assets of Crane & Machinery, Inc. (“Crane”) and Schaeff Lift Truck, Inc., (“Schaeff”).

Load King Debt

In November 2011, the Company’s Load King Subsidiary used its manufacturing facility as collateral to secure mortgage financing with BED (South Dakota Board of Economic Development) and 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 March 31, 2014 of $782, $802 and $286, 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 March 31, 2014, Sabre had a note payable with a balance of $15 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 March 31, 2014, CVS had established demand credit facilities with ten Italian banks. Under the facilities, CVS can borrow up to €210 ($289) 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 €8,490 ($11,691). The Company has granted guarantees in respect to available credit facilities in the amount of €5,850($8,055). 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 customer’s credit and location of the customer.

At March 31, 2014, the banks had advanced CVS €5,303 ($7,303), at variable interest rates which currently range from 2.25% to 7.35%. At March 31, 2014, the Company has guaranteed €5,012 ($6,901) of CVS’s outstanding debt. Additionally, the banks had issued performance bonds which total €550 ($757) which have been guaranteed by the Company.

Note Payable—Bank

At March 31, 2014, the Company has a $476 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 March 31, 2014, the note had remaining principal balance of $228.

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 March 31, 2014, the outstanding capital lease obligation is $2,563.

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 Company has an option to purchase the facility for $500 by giving notice to the landlord of its intent to purchase the Facility. The Landlord must receive such notice at least three months prior to end of the Lease term. At March 31, 2014, the Company has outstanding capital lease obligation of $572. The Company has given the landlord notice of its intent to purchase the facility.

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, 2014
New equipment	$	225		60	$	4	$	144
Used equipment	$	1,754		36	$	53	$	1,047
Total	$	1,979			$	57	$	1,191

The Company has three additional capital leases. As of March 31, 2014, the capitalized lease obligation in aggregate related to the three leases was $123.

Stock Issuance

The Company issued 20,892 shares of common stock on March 6, 2014 and 27,463 shares of common stock on March 8, 2013 to employees and Directors for restricted stock units issued under the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan, which had vested on those dates.

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 917,046 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.

The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units:

	March 31, 2014
Outstanding on January 1, 2014		142,851
Units granted during the period		34,292
Vested and issued		(20,892	)
Forfeited		(1,000	)
Outstanding on March 31, 2014		155,251

On March 6, 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 20,000 restricted stock units to five independent Directors pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Restricted stock units of 6,600, 6,600 and 6,800 vest on March 6, 2014, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

On March 6, 2014, the Company granted 14,292 restricted stock units to employees pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units which vested immediately represent a portion of the employees’ 2013 bonus award that was paid in restricted stock units.

The value of the restricted stock is being charged to compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense includes expense related to restricted stock units of $284 and $151 for the three months March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $598, $707 and $364 for the remainder of 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

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 company’s consolidated financial statements. The additional required disclosure is included in Note 5.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s 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 entity’s 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 company’s 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.

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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, 2014 and December 31, 2013 by level within the fair value hierarchy.

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.

Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies

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 Company’s 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 Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has a per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,000, $1,150 $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 March 31, 2014, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs $1,710 without interest in 18 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 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.
