1.            Basis of Presentation

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Pioneer Electrogroup Canada Inc., Pioneer Transformers Ltd., Bemag Transformer Inc., Jefferson Electric, Inc. and Pioneer Critical Power Inc.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including amounts related to Pioneer Wind Energy Systems Inc. which are reported as discontinued operations.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the risk factors, audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.

2.            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies were described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the first quarter of 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This standard, which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment, provides companies with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment before performing the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not to exceed its carrying amount, then the company would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. This standard does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2013. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

-5-

In March 2013, the FASB issued Update No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—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”. The amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. This pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3.           Acquisition

On March 6, 2013, Pioneer Critical Power Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain trade liabilities comprising the business of Power Systems Solutions, Inc. The transaction was valued at approximately $1.2 million and was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Power Systems Solutions, Inc. is a Minneapolis-based supplier of highly specified and engineered paralleling switchgear and generator controls used in on-site backup power and distributed generation applications.

The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the purchase price exceeded the net tangible asset value and reflects the future earnings and cash flow potential of the acquired business. The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition, based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtained this information during due diligence and through other sources including an asset appraisal. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including by learning more about the newly acquired business or revisions of preliminary estimates, the Company will then refine its estimate of fair value.

In December 2011 and January 2012, the Company’s Pioneer Transformers Ltd. subsidiary funded two promissory notes, each in the amount of $300,000, from a developer of a renewable energy project in the U.S. The promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum with a final payment of all unpaid principal and interest becoming fully due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the four year anniversary of the issuance date of the promissory notes, or (ii) an event of default. As defined in the promissory notes, an event of default includes, but is not limited to, the following: any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the borrower, a sale or transfer of substantially all the assets of the borrower, a default by the borrower relating to any indebtedness due to third parties, the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the borrower without the Company’s written consent and failure of the borrower to perform its obligations pursuant to its other agreements with the Company, including its purchase order for pad mount transformers.

Also included in Other Assets are deferred financing costs of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

7.            Debt

Canadian Credit Facilities

In June 2011, Pioneer Electrogroup Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the parent company of the Company’s active Canadian subsidiaries, Pioneer Transformers Ltd. And Bemag Transformer Inc. (the “Borrowers”), entered into a letter loan agreement with the Company’s Canadian bank (the “Canadian Facilities”) that replaced and superseded all of the Company’s prior financing arrangements with such bank. Bemag Transformer Inc. became a party to the Canadian Facilities on July 1, 2011, upon the acquisition of all of its capital shares by the Company.

The Canadian Facilities provide for up to $23.0 million CAD (approximately $22.6 million expressed in U.S. dollars) consisting of a $10.0 million demand revolving credit facility (“Facility A”) to finance ongoing operations, a $2.0 million term credit facility (“Facility B”) that financed a plant expansion, a $10.0 million term credit facility (“Facility C”) to finance acquisitions, capital expenditures or to provide funding to the Company, a $50,000 Corporate MasterCard credit facility (“Facility D”) and a $1.0 million foreign exchange settlement risk facility (“Facility E”).

The Canadian Facilities are secured by a first-ranking lien in the amount of approximately $25 million CAD on all of the present and future movable and immovable property of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries.

The Canadian Facilities require the Borrowers to comply on a consolidated basis with various financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25, a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.75 and a limitation on funded debt to less than 60% of capitalization. The Canadian Facilities also restrict the ability of the Borrowers to, among other things, (i) provide any funding to any person, including affiliates, in an aggregate amount exceeding $5.0 million CAD or (ii) make distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 50% of Pioneer Electrogroup Canada Inc.’s previous year’s net income.

-7-

Facility A is subject to margin criteria and borrowings bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% per annum on amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars, or the U.S. base rate plus 0.50% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum on amounts borrowed in U.S. dollars.

Borrowings under Facility B bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.00% per annum with principal repayments becoming due on a five year amortization schedule.

Borrowings under Facility C are repayable according to a five year principal amortization schedule and bear interest at the following rates: if the funded debt to EBITDA ratio is equal to or greater than 2.00, the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars, or the U.S. base rate plus 1.25% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum on amounts borrowed in U.S. dollars; or, if the funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less than 2.00, the bank’s prime rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars, or the U.S. base rate plus 1.00% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum on amounts borrowed in U.S. dollars. In addition, Facility C is subject to a standby fee which is calculated monthly using the unused portion of the facility at either 0.625% per annum if the funded debt to EBITDA ratio is equal to or greater than 2.00, or 0.5625% per annum if the funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less than 2.00.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $12.8 million in U.S. dollar equivalents outstanding under the Canadian Facilities and was in compliance with its financial covenant requirements. The Company’s borrowings consisted of approximately $2.9 million outstanding under Facility A, $1.4 million outstanding under Facility B, and $8.5 million outstanding under Facility C.

United States Credit Facilities

In January 2008, the Company’s Jefferson Electric, Inc. subsidiary entered into a bank loan agreement with a U.S. bank that included a revolving credit facility and a term credit facility (the “U.S. Facilities”). As of April 30, 2010, the date the Company acquired Jefferson Electric, Inc., final payment of all outstanding amounts under the U.S. Facilities became due on October 31, 2011. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility was equal to the greater of the bank’s reference rate or 6.5% per annum. The interest rate under the term credit facility was 7.27% annually.

In November 2011, Jefferson Electric, Inc. revised its financing arrangement and extended the maturity date of the U.S. Facilities to October 31, 2012. The amended loan agreement provided for an increase in the borrowing base limit of the revolving credit facility to $6.0 million and a decrease in the interest rate to the bank’s reference rate plus 2.0%. In connection with the amendment, the Company prepaid $250,000 under the term credit facility in November 2011 and made an additional prepayment of $750,000 in January 2012. The interest rate under the term credit facility was reduced to 6.0% annually, with monthly payments of principal and accrued interest calculated based on a 5-year term and a final payment of all outstanding amounts due on October 31, 2012. In addition, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with respect to Jefferson Electric, Inc.’s obligations under the U.S. Facilities.

In October 2012, Jefferson Electric, Inc. revised its financing arrangement and extended the maturity date of the U.S. Facilities to October 31, 2013. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility was reduced to a floating rate subject to a pricing grid, ranging from 2.25% to 3.50% above one month LIBOR, which can result in increases or decreases to the borrowing spread depending on Jefferson Electric, Inc.’s debt service coverage ratio. The term credit facility, which was repaid in full during July 2012, was removed from the U.S. Facilities in its entirety. Borrowings under the U.S. Facilities are collateralized by substantially all the U.S. assets of Jefferson Electric, Inc., and an officer of the subsidiary is a guarantor. The U.S. Facilities, as amended, require Jefferson Electric, Inc. to comply with certain financial covenants, including a requirement to exceed a minimum target for tangible net worth and maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio. The U.S. Facilities also restrict Jefferson Electric, Inc.’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions, advances or other transfers of assets.

-8-

As of March 31, 2013, Jefferson Electric, Inc. had approximately $4.8 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and was in compliance with its financial covenant requirements.

Nexus Promissory Note

On July 25, 2012, the Company’s indirect wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Nexus Magneticos de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Nexus”), entered into a term loan agreement with GE CF Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“GE Capital Mexico”). At closing, GE Capital Mexico advanced to Nexus $1.65 million under the term loan agreement, less a non-refundable commission of 1% and less a pledge of cash representing 10% of the loan amount. Immediately upon receiving the term loan advance, Nexus made an intercompany loan in the same principal amount to Jefferson Electric, Inc., its controlling shareholder. In turn, Jefferson Electric, Inc. used the intercompany loan proceeds to repay a portion of its outstanding secured indebtedness owed to its U.S. bank. The net proceeds were used by Jefferson Electric, Inc. to fully repay the principal and accrued interest that was then outstanding under its term credit facility with its U.S. bank, as well as to reduce the outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility.

The term loan from GE Capital Mexico is payable in 60 consecutive monthly installments and bears interest, payable monthly, at a rate of 6.93% per annum. The term loan may be prepaid by Nexus in increments of at least $100,000, subject to the application of certain prepayment and other fees as established in the term loan agreement. The term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including covenants that restrict Nexus’ ability to create certain liens, incur additional liabilities, make certain types of investments, engage in mergers, consolidations, significant asset sales and affiliate transactions, pay dividends, redeem or repurchase outstanding equity and make capital expenditures.

The obligations of Nexus under the term loan are secured by (i) a pledge of cash in the amount of 10% of the term loan amount, (ii) a trust agreement, pursuant to which Nexus and Jefferson Electric, Inc. transferred title to substantially all of their equipment and machinery assets located in Mexico to a Mexican bank as trustee, to serve as security for all of Nexus’ obligations under the term loan agreement, and (iii) a corporate guaranty by the Company of all of Nexus’ obligations under the term loan agreement.

Capital Lease Obligations

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had equipment loans and capital lease obligations remaining of $2,800 that are repayable in monthly installments.  These obligations are scheduled to be paid in full by December 2013.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had total stock-based compensation expense remaining to be recognized in the statement of earnings of approximately $0.2 million.

10.          Pension Plan

One of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries sponsors a defined benefit pension plan in which a majority of its employees are members. The subsidiary funds 100% of all contributions to the plan. The benefits, or the rate per year of credit service, are established by the Company and updated at its discretion.

The components of the expense the Company incurred under the pension plan are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Current service cost, net of employee contributions	$	17		$	11
Interest cost on accrued benefit obligation		32			35
Expected return on plan assets		(41	)		(39	)
Amortization of transitional obligation		3			3
Amortization of past service costs		2			2
Amortization of net actuarial gain		15			13
Total cost of benefit	$	28		$	25

Cost of Benefits

The Company’s policy is to fund the pension plan at or above the minimum level required by law. The Company made $28,000 and $19,000 of contributions to its defined benefit pension plan during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Changes in the discount rate and actual investment returns that are lower than the long-term expected return on plan assets could result in the Company making additional contributions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2013 and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Pioneer Electrogroup Canada Inc., Pioneer Transformers Ltd., Bemag Transformer Inc., Jefferson Electric, Inc. and Pioneer Critical Power Inc.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, financial projections, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

· Our ability to expand our business through strategic acquisitions.

· Our ability to integrate acquisitions and related businesses.

· Many of our competitors are better established and have significantly greater resources, and may subsidize their competitive offerings with other products and services, which may make it difficult for us to attract and retain customers.

· We depend on Hydro-Quebec Utility Company and Siemens Industry, Inc. for a large portion of our business, and any change in the level of orders from Hydro-Quebec Utility Company or Siemens Industry, Inc., could have a significant impact on our results of operations.

· The potential loss or departure of key personnel, including Nathan J. Mazurek, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

· A majority of our revenue and a significant portion of our expenditures are derived or spent in Canadian dollars. However, we report our financial condition and results of operations in U.S. dollars. As a result, fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar will impact the amount of our revenues.

· Our ability to generate internal growth.

· Market acceptance of existing and new products.

· Operating margin risk due to competitive pricing and operating efficiencies, supply chain risk, material, labor or overhead cost increases, interest rate risk and commodity risk.

· Restrictive loan covenants or our ability to repay or refinance debt under our credit facilities could limit our future financing options and liquidity position and may limit our ability to grow our business.

· General economic conditions and market conditions in the electrical equipment, power generation, commercial construction, industrial production, oil and gas, marine and infrastructure industries.

-12-

· The impact of geopolitical activity on the economy, changes in government regulations such as income taxes, climate control initiatives, the timing or strength of an economic recovery in our markets and our ability to access capital markets.

· Unanticipated increases in raw material prices or disruptions in supply could increase production costs and adversely affect our profitability.

· Our chairman controls a majority of our combined voting power, and may have, or may develop in the future, interests that may diverge from yours.

· Future sales of large blocks of our common stock may adversely impact our stock price.

The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. Moreover, new risks regularly emerge and it is not possible for us to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should carefully review the risk factors and other cautionary statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and those described from time to time in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of the foregoing and other risks that relate to our business and investing in shares of our common stock.

Overview

We are a manufacturer of specialty electrical transmission and distribution equipment for applications in the utility, industrial and commercial markets. We are headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operate from seven additional locations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico for manufacturing, centralized distribution, engineering, sales and administration.

Our largest customers, which include a number of recognized national and regional utilities and industrial companies, are located in North America. We provide these customers with custom-engineered, liquid-filled and dry-type electrical transformers. In addition, we manufacture a broad range of general purpose transformers used by the commercial construction industry, sold through hundreds of electrical distributors served by our network of independently-operated stocking locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. In 2013, we expanded our product scope to include custom paralleling switchgear and engine generator controls, systems used by our customers to ensure reliable backup and primary power for their critical operations such as data centers and hospitals. We intend to grow our business, both through acquisitions and internal product development, by increasing the scope of highly-engineered solutions we offer our customers for their specific electrical applications.

On April 30, 2010, we completed the acquisition of Jefferson Electric, Inc., a Wisconsin-based manufacturer and supplier of dry-type transformers. Through transactions completed in June and August 2010 we acquired AAER Inc. to form Pioneer Wind Energy Systems Inc., which business is now classified in our financial statements under discontinued operations.

On July 1, 2011, we acquired all the capital stock of Bemag Transformer Inc., a Quebec-based manufacturer of low and medium voltage dry-type transformers and custom magnetics. Also on such date, we acquired all the machinery and equipment assets of Vermont Transformer, Inc., the former U.S. affiliate of Bemag Transformer Inc.

On March 6, 2013, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Pioneer Critical Power Inc., we acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Power Systems Solutions, Inc., a Minneapolis-based provider of paralleling switchgear and engine generator controls used in on-site backup power and distributed generation applications.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Although we have elected to report our results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and in U.S. dollars, several of our subsidiaries are Canadian entities whose functional currencies are the Canadian dollar. As such, the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and equity of these subsidiaries are initially consolidated in Canadian dollars. The subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are then translated from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars by applying the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while the results of their operations and cash flows are translated to U.S. dollars by applying the average foreign currency exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income or loss.

The financial position and operating results of our Canadian subsidiaries have been translated to U.S. dollars by applying the following exchange rates, expressed as the number of Canadian dollars to one U.S. dollar for each period reported:

	2013						2012
	Consolidated Balance Sheet		Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income				Consolidated Balance Sheet		Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income
Quarter Ended	End of Period		Period Average		Cumulative Average		End of Period		Period Average		Cumulative Average
March 31	$	1.0160	$	1.0089	$	1.0089	$	0.9975	$	1.0012	$	1.0012

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates based on currently available information and our judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Significant estimates in these financial statements include pension expense, inventory provisions, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, warranty accruals, income tax determination, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts and estimates related to purchase price allocation. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our consolidated revenue increased by $2.2 million, or 11.0%, to $22.5 million, up from $20.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in our revenue was derived from several large orders, particularly for projects in the utility and oil and gas sectors, which led to a 29% increase in our sales of liquid-filled transformers. Sales of our dry-type transformers, which represented 48% of our consolidated revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2013, declined by $0.4 million, or 3.7%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in dry-type transformer sales reflects that there was one large non-recurring customer order, valued at $0.6 million, which shipped during the first quarter of 2012. Our newest business, which commenced in early March 2013, Pioneer Critical Power Inc., focuses on large, long-lead time projects and did not contribute in a material amount to our revenue during the quarter.

-14-

Gross Margin. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our gross margin percentage was 22.5% of revenues, as compared to 22.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The small decrease in gross margin percentage reflects an unfavorable, year-to-year comparison for our dry-type transformer product line, offset by a gross margin increase from our sales of liquid-filled transformers. Although production efficiency and pricing for our general purpose, dry-type models was relatively stable during the three months ended March 31, 2013, our average dry-type gross margin percentage decreased 2.7% due to lower volume of engineered-to-order, medium voltage units as compared to the same period of 2012. Our gross margin percentage on sales of liquid-filled transformers increased by 1.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2013, driven by increased demand for our larger, substation-class transformers. In addition, our unit volume of network transformers, a design used exclusively by utilities, was also up significantly during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period of 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our selling, general and administrative expense increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 8.6%, to $3.5 million, as compared to $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Approximately half of the increase was due to higher variable selling costs for our dry-type transformer products, principally consisting of freight and commissions. The remainder of the increase in our selling, general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period of 2012, was due to the inclusion of one month of operations of Pioneer Critical Power Inc., as well as to an increase in our corporate expenses. As a percentage of total revenue, our selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 15.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to 16.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Foreign Exchange (Gain) Loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, approximately 63% of our consolidated operating revenues were denominated in Canadian dollars and a material percentage of our expenses were denominated and disbursed in U.S. dollars. We have not historically engaged in currency hedging activities. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between the time we initiate and then settle transactions with our customers and suppliers can have an impact on our operating results. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a loss of approximately $60,000 due to currency fluctuations, compared to a gain of approximately $72,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Interest and Bank Charges. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, interest and bank charges were approximately $185,000, as compared to $213,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower average borrowing costs under our U.S. credit facilities, partially offset by higher average borrowings outstanding under our Canadian credit facilities which was used to purchase the land and building comprising one of our manufacturing facilities in June 2012.

Other Expense (Income). For the three months ended March 31, 2013, other non-operating expense was approximately $92,000, as compared to $29,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The 2013 other expense resulted from professional fees and costs incurred by Pioneer Critical Power Inc. in connection with a business acquisition. The 2012 other expense consists primarily of professional fees incurred in connection with post-closing requirements related to the acquisition of Bemag Transformer Inc.

Provision for Income Taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate on earnings before income taxes of 25.2%, as compared to 28.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our effective tax rate in Canada, where we derive most of our taxable income and are subject to lower corporate tax rates relative to our U.S. operations, remained stable as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in our consolidated effective tax rate was attributable to our U.S. operations which as a group produced a net loss for income tax purposes, resulting in the recognition of a tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Earnings from Continuing Operations. We generated net earnings from continuing operations of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Earnings from continuing operations per basic and diluted share was $0.15 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $0.14 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our earnings from continuing operations benefitted from a higher operating income margin on increased sales, together with lower interest expense for the reasons described above. These improvements, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, were partially offset by foreign exchange losses and increased non-operating expense due to an acquisition.

-15-

Backlog. Our order backlog at March 31, 2013 was $24.0 million, as compared to $23.6 million at December 31, 2012 and $24.6 million at March 31, 2012. Our backlog is based on orders expected to be delivered in the future, most of which is expected to occur during the next six months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. At March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million and total debt, including capital lease obligations, of $18.9 million. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions. We believe that working capital, borrowing capacity available under our credit facilities and funds generated from operations should be sufficient to finance our cash requirements for anticipated operating activities, capital improvements and principal repayments of debt through at least the next twelve months.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Cash used by our operating activities was approximately $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to cash used by our operating activities of $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The principal elements of cash used for operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $2.7 million for working capital and $0.2 million related to deferred taxes and pension costs. These uses of cash during the period were partially offset by net earnings from continuing operations of $0.9 million and $0.4 million of non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $1.8 million, as compared to $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 our cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $1.0 million for the expansion of our Canadian dry-type transformer manufacturing facility. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 we used approximately $0.7 million of cash for the acquisition of Power Systems Solutions, Inc. Our uses of cash in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 included a $0.3 million loan we made to the developer of a renewable energy project for the purpose of securing a purchase order for our transformers. Additions to our property, plant and equipment in the ordinary course of business were $0.1 million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. Cash provided by our financing activities was approximately $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $1.0 million of cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the increase in cash from financing activities resulted from $3.7 million of increased bank overdrafts and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, as compared to $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Offsetting these increases in our short-term debt, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 we repaid approximately $0.5 million of our long-term debt, as compared to $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Working Capital. As of March 31, 2013, we had net working capital of $5.4 million, including $0.2 million of cash and equivalents, compared to net working capital of $6.9 million, including $0.5 million of cash and equivalents at December 31, 2012. Our current assets were 1.2 times our current liabilities at March 31, 2013, as compared to 1.3 times at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $5.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of available and unused borrowing capacity from our revolving credit facilities. However, the availability of this capacity under our revolving credit facilities is subject to restrictions on the use of proceeds and is dependent upon our ability to satisfy certain financial and operating covenants, including financial ratios.

Canadian Credit Facilities. Our subsidiaries have maintained credit facilities with our Canadian bank since October 2009. In June 2011, Pioneer Electrogroup Canada Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary and the parent company of all our active subsidiaries in Canada entered into a letter loan agreement with the bank (the “Canadian Facilities”) that replaced and superseded all of our prior financing arrangements with such bank.

-16-

The Canadian Facilities provide for up to $23.0 million Canadian dollars (“CAD”) (approximately $22.6 million expressed in U.S. dollars) consisting of a $10.0 million CAD demand revolving credit facility (“Facility A”) to finance ongoing operations, a $2.0 million CAD term credit facility (“Facility B”) that financed a plant expansion, a $10.0 million CAD term credit facility (“Facility C”) to finance acquisitions, capital expenditures or to provide funding to our U.S. corporations, a $50,000 CAD Corporate MasterCard credit facility and a $1.0 million CAD foreign exchange settlement risk facility.

As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $2.9 million outstanding under Facility A, $1.4 million outstanding under Facility B and $8.5 million outstanding under Facility C and we were in compliance with the financial covenant requirements under the Canadian Facilities.

United States Credit Facilities. Our Jefferson Electric, Inc. subsidiary has a loan agreement with a U.S. bank that includes a revolving credit facility with a borrowing base limit of $6.0 million. Effective as of October 31, 2012, the credit facility was extended for an additional year and bears interest according to a pricing grid, ranging from 2.25% to 3.50% above one month LIBOR, depending on Jefferson Electric, Inc.’s debt service coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $4.8 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and we were in compliance with its financial covenant requirements.

Nexus Promissory Note. On July 25, 2012, Nexus Magneticos de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Nexus”), a subsidiary of Jefferson Electric, Inc., entered into a $1.7 million term loan agreement with GE CF Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“GE Capital Mexico”). The term loan from GE Capital Mexico is payable in 60 consecutive monthly installments and bears interest, payable monthly, at a rate of 6.93% per annum. We provided a guaranty to GE Capital Mexico of all of Nexus’ obligations under the term loan agreement. As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $1.3 million outstanding.

Capital Lease Obligations. As of March 31, 2013, we had equipment loans and capital lease obligations with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of approximately $3,000, as compared to approximately $3,600 outstanding as of December 31, 2012. These equipment loans and capital lease obligations are scheduled to be repaid in full by December 2013.

Capital Expenditures. In June 2012, we completed the acquisition of the land and building comprising our dry-type transformer facility in Canada at a cost of approximately $1.1 million. We recently completed construction to expand the location’s manufacturing floorspace by approximately 16,000 square feet. Including the cost of new machinery and equipment to be purchased, the capital budget for the entire expansion project is approximately $1.9 million, all of which is expected to be disbursed before the end of 2013. Otherwise, we have no major future capital projects planned, or significant replacement spending anticipated during 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CERTIFICATION

I, Nathan J. Mazurek, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc.;

Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisition

3.Acquisition

On March 6, 2013, Pioneer Critical Power Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain trade liabilities comprising the business of Power Systems Solutions, Inc. The transaction was valued at approximately $1.2 million and was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Power Systems Solutions, Inc. is a Minneapolis-based supplier of highly specified and engineered paralleling switchgear and generator controls used in on-site backup power and distributed generation applications.

The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the purchase price exceeded the net tangible asset value and reflects the future earnings and cash flow potential of the acquired business. The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition, based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtained this information during due diligence and through other sources including an asset appraisal. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including by learning more about the newly acquired business or revisions of preliminary estimates, the Company will then refine its estimate of fair value.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies were described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the first quarter of 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This standard, which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment, provides companies with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment before performing the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not to exceed its carrying amount, then the company would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. This standard does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2013.  The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued Update No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—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”. The amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  This pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This standard, which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment, provides companies with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment before performing the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not to exceed its carrying amount, then the company would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. This standard does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2013.  The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued Update No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—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”. The amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  This pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Canadian Credit Facilities

In June 2011, Pioneer Electrogroup Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the parent company of the Company’s active Canadian subsidiaries, Pioneer Transformers Ltd. And Bemag Transformer Inc. (the “Borrowers”), entered into a letter loan agreement with the Company’s Canadian bank (the “Canadian Facilities”) that replaced and superseded all of the Company’s prior financing arrangements with such bank. Bemag Transformer Inc. became a party to the Canadian Facilities on July 1, 2011, upon the acquisition of all of its capital shares by the Company.

The Canadian Facilities provide for up to $23.0 million CAD (approximately $22.6 million expressed in U.S. dollars) consisting of a $10.0 million demand revolving credit facility (“Facility A”) to finance ongoing operations, a $2.0 million term credit facility (“Facility B”) that financed a plant expansion, a $10.0 million term credit facility (“Facility C”) to finance acquisitions, capital expenditures or to provide funding to the Company, a $50,000 Corporate MasterCard credit facility (“Facility D”) and a $1.0 million foreign exchange settlement risk facility (“Facility E”).

The Canadian Facilities are secured by a first-ranking lien in the amount of approximately $25 million CAD on all of the present and future movable and immovable property of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries.

The Canadian Facilities require the Borrowers to comply on a consolidated basis with various financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25, a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.75 and a limitation on funded debt to less than 60% of capitalization. The Canadian Facilities also restrict the ability of the Borrowers to, among other things, (i) provide any funding to any person, including affiliates, in an aggregate amount exceeding $5.0 million CAD or (ii) make distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 50% of Pioneer Electrogroup Canada Inc.’s previous year’s net income.

Facility A is subject to margin criteria and borrowings bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% per annum on amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars, or the U.S. base rate plus 0.50% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum on amounts borrowed in U.S. dollars.

Borrowings under Facility B bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.00% per annum with principal repayments becoming due on a five year amortization schedule.

Borrowings under Facility C are repayable according to a five year principal amortization schedule and bear interest at the following rates: if the funded debt to EBITDA ratio is equal to or greater than 2.00, the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars, or the U.S. base rate plus 1.25% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum on amounts borrowed in U.S. dollars; or, if the funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less than 2.00, the bank’s prime rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars, or the U.S. base rate plus 1.00% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum on amounts borrowed in U.S. dollars. In addition, Facility C is subject to a standby fee which is calculated monthly using the unused portion of the facility at either 0.625% per annum if the funded debt to EBITDA ratio is equal to or greater than 2.00, or 0.5625% per annum if the funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less than 2.00.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $12.8 million in U.S. dollar equivalents outstanding under the Canadian Facilities and was in compliance with its financial covenant requirements. The Company’s borrowings consisted of approximately $2.9 million outstanding under Facility A, $1.4 million outstanding under Facility B, and $8.5 million outstanding under Facility C.

United States Credit Facilities

In January 2008, the Company’s Jefferson Electric, Inc. subsidiary entered into a bank loan agreement with a U.S. bank that included a revolving credit facility and a term credit facility (the “U.S. Facilities”). As of April 30, 2010, the date the Company acquired Jefferson Electric, Inc., final payment of all outstanding amounts under the U.S. Facilities became due on October 31, 2011. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility was equal to the greater of the bank’s reference rate or 6.5% per annum. The interest rate under the term credit facility was 7.27% annually.

In November 2011, Jefferson Electric, Inc. revised its financing arrangement and extended the maturity date of the U.S. Facilities to October 31, 2012. The amended loan agreement provided for an increase in the borrowing base limit of the revolving credit facility to $6.0 million and a decrease in the interest rate to the bank’s reference rate plus 2.0%. In connection with the amendment, the Company prepaid $250,000 under the term credit facility in November 2011 and made an additional prepayment of $750,000 in January 2012. The interest rate under the term credit facility was reduced to 6.0% annually, with monthly payments of principal and accrued interest calculated based on a 5-year term and a final payment of all outstanding amounts due on October 31, 2012. In addition, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with respect to Jefferson Electric, Inc.’s obligations under the U.S. Facilities.

In October 2012, Jefferson Electric, Inc. revised its financing arrangement and extended the maturity date of the U.S. Facilities to October 31, 2013. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility was reduced to a floating rate subject to a pricing grid, ranging from 2.25% to 3.50% above one month LIBOR, which can result in increases or decreases to the borrowing spread depending on Jefferson Electric, Inc.’s debt service coverage ratio. The term credit facility, which was repaid in full during July 2012, was removed from the U.S. Facilities in its entirety. Borrowings under the U.S. Facilities are collateralized by substantially all the U.S. assets of Jefferson Electric, Inc., and an officer of the subsidiary is a guarantor. The U.S. Facilities, as amended, require Jefferson Electric, Inc. to comply with certain financial covenants, including a requirement to exceed a minimum target for tangible net worth and maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio. The U.S. Facilities also restrict Jefferson Electric, Inc.’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions, advances or other transfers of assets.

As of March 31, 2013, Jefferson Electric, Inc. had approximately $4.8 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and was in compliance with its financial covenant requirements.

Nexus Promissory Note

On July 25, 2012, the Company’s indirect wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Nexus Magneticos de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Nexus”), entered into a term loan agreement with GE CF Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“GE Capital Mexico”). At closing, GE Capital Mexico advanced to Nexus $1.65 million under the term loan agreement, less a non-refundable commission of 1% and less a pledge of cash representing 10% of the loan amount. Immediately upon receiving the term loan advance, Nexus made an intercompany loan in the same principal amount to Jefferson Electric, Inc., its controlling shareholder. In turn, Jefferson Electric, Inc. used the intercompany loan proceeds to repay a portion of its outstanding secured indebtedness owed to its U.S. bank. The net proceeds were used by Jefferson Electric, Inc. to fully repay the principal and accrued interest that was then outstanding under its term credit facility with its U.S. bank, as well as to reduce the outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility.

The term loan from GE Capital Mexico is payable in 60 consecutive monthly installments and bears interest, payable monthly, at a rate of 6.93% per annum. The term loan may be prepaid by Nexus in increments of at least $100,000, subject to the application of certain prepayment and other fees as established in the term loan agreement. The term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including covenants that restrict Nexus’ ability to create certain liens, incur additional liabilities, make certain types of investments, engage in mergers, consolidations, significant asset sales and affiliate transactions, pay dividends, redeem or repurchase outstanding equity and make capital expenditures.

The obligations of Nexus under the term loan are secured by (i) a pledge of cash in the amount of 10% of the term loan amount, (ii) a trust agreement, pursuant to which Nexus and Jefferson Electric, Inc. transferred title to substantially all of their equipment and machinery assets located in Mexico to a Mexican bank as trustee, to serve as security for all of Nexus’ obligations under the term loan agreement, and (iii) a corporate guaranty by the Company of all of Nexus’ obligations under the term loan agreement.

Capital Lease Obligations

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had equipment loans and capital lease obligations remaining of $2,800 that are repayable in monthly installments.  These obligations are scheduled to be paid in full by December 2013.

The Company made $28,000 and $19,000 of contributions to its defined benefit pension plan during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Changes in the discount rate and actual investment returns that are lower than the long-term expected return on plan assets could result in the Company making additional contributions.
