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, 2015, and results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated balances as of December 31, 2014 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, 2014. 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, 2014. 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 $482 and $458 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost or market (first in, first out). 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

Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s products are typically sold with a warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period of time. The specific warranty offered is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. The Equipment Distribution segment does not accrue for warranty costs at the time of sales, as they are reimbursed by the manufacturers for any warranty that they provide to their customers.

A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. 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

7

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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue and related costs are generally recorded when products are shipped and invoiced to our customers. Revenue is recognized when title passes and risk of loss pass to our customers which is generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the terms of the contract. Under certain contracts with our customers title passes to the customers when the units are completed. The units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, the customer is notified that the units are complete and wait pick up or delivery as specified by the customer before income is recognized. Additionally, the customer is requested to sign an “Invoice Authorization Form” which acknowledges the contract terms and acknowledges that the customer has economic ownership and control over the unit. It also acknowledges that we are going to invoice the unit per terms of the contract. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

For FOB contracts, customers may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has authorized in writing that we hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the units are invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and we have no further obligations under the order. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

In addition, our policy requires in all instances certain minimum criteria be met in order to recognize revenue, specifically:

a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

b) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;

c) Collectability is reasonably assured; and

d) We have no significant obligations for future performance.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to certain foreign term loans. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in current earnings immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the effective portion of the gain or loss is recognized and is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedging instrument affects earnings (date of sale). As part of the acquisition of PM Group, which was acquired on January 15, 2015, the Company acquired interest rate swap contracts, which manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to term loans with certain financial institutions in Italy. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5.

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.

8

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.

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). See Note 5 for additional details.

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.

ASV, PM Group and Columbia Tank results are included in the Company’s results from their respective dates of acquisition of December 19, 2014, January 15, 2015 and March 13, 2015.

Reclassification

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

3. Acquisitions and Investments

PM Group

On July 21, 2014 Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a series of agreements to acquire PM Group S.p.A, (“PM Group”), a manufacturer of truck mounted cranes based in San Cesario sul Panaro, Modena, Italy. On January 15, 2015, the Company’s acquisition of PM Group closed.

The fair value of the purchase consideration is shown below:

Cash	€	17,142	$	20,312
994,483 shares of Minitel International, Inc.		8,710		10,124
Total purchase consideration	€	25,852	$	30,436

9

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 Company engaged a valuation expert and a tax advisor to provide guidance and assistance to management which was considered and in part relied upon in completing its purchase price allocation. 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 the entire allocation is subject to a final review, including but not limited to the accounts receivable, inventory, intangible assets and accruals. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the PM acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Under the Option Agreement, the bank shall receive €2,500 if PM has 2017 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, of between €14,500 and €16,500, and €5,000 if 2017 EBITDA exceeds €16,500. If 2017 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, is less than €14,500, the bank is to sell the debt to the Company for €0.001. Given the disparity between the EBITDA 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 payment is €1,093 or $1,270. Based thereon, we determined the fair value of the contingent liability to be €1,093 or $1,270. This amount is included in other long-term liabilities in the above table.

Non-recourse PM debt: Under the transaction, the PM remains obligated for the following debt:

Term debt—interest bearing	€	23,221		$	27,359
Term debt—non-interest bearing		10,289			12,123
Fair market adjustment for non-interest bearing debt		(1,460	)		(1,720	)
Working capital borrowing		14,340			16,896
Interest rate swap derivative contract		1,720			2,027
Total assumed non-recourse debt	€	48,110		$	56,685

Non-interest bearing debt. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed non-interest bearing debt of €10,289. The fair value of the non-interest bearing debt was determined to be €8,829 or $10,403. The fair value of the non-interest bearing debt 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 5.24% 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 interest rate swap derivative was valued at its fair value, which is based on quotes from a financial institution.

10

Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by PM, except for certain adjustments necessary to state such amounts at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Significant fair market adjustments were made to decrease inventory by €771 and to decrease fixed assets by €3,647.

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, patented 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 patented and 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 fair value of these relationships based on the excess earnings method, a form of the Income Approach.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of total consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired. The recognition of goodwill of $30,636 reflects the inherent value in the PM reputation, which has been built since being founded in 1959 and the prospects for significant future earnings.

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 $185 for legal services, $750 for acquisition related bonus payments, $347 for accounting services in connection with the prior year audit of PM financial statements and $206 for other costs related to the acquisition.

The results of the acquired PM operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date. PM is included in the Lifting segment for segment reporting purposes.

Columbia Tanks

On March 12, 2015 the Company’s subsidiary, Manitex Sabre, entered into an inventory purchase agreement and an equipment purchase agreement, with Columbia Tanks LLC, an Indiana company and J.F. Henry, the “Member”, for the purchase of inventory and used manufacturing equipment. In a separate agreement with F.H. Associates, the Company entered into a three year lease of a 99,000 square feet manufacturing facility at an annual rent commencing at $240 per annum. The lease is renewable after three years at the Company’s option.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and the balance is subject to a final review of inventory, equipment and intangible assets.

The fair value of the purchase consideration was $1,214 in total as shown below:

Cash	$	400
Seller notes		814
Total purchase consideration	$	1,214

Seller Note. In connection with the inventory and equipment purchases, the Company issued two non-interest bearing notes for $450 and $390 that mature on August 31, 2016 and May 31, 2016. The fair value of Inventory Note and the Equipment Note was determined to be $436 and $378. The fair value of the notes 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 4.0% 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.

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 purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to final review of inventory, fixed assets and related intangibles.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the Columbia acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired:

Purchase price allocation:

Inventory	$	686
Equipment		528
	$	1,214

12

Tangible and Intangible Assets and Liabilities: The tangible assets were valued at their respective purchase price. Management has preliminarily determined that amount paid to acquire the assets approximates the fair value of the assets acquired.

Pro forma information is not included as Columbia Tanks’ amounts are insignificant.

Lift Ventures, LLC

On December 16, 2014, Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”), BGI USA Inc. (“BGI”), Movedesign SRL and R & S Advisory S.r.l., entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) for Lift Ventures LLC (“Lift Ventures”), a joint venture entity. The purposes for which Lift Ventures is organized are the manufacturing and selling of certain products and components, including the Schaeff line of electric forklifts and certain LiftKing products. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Company was granted a 25% equity stake in Lift Ventures in exchange for the contribution of inventory totaling $5,951 and a license of certain intellectual property related to the Company’s products

This investment is a non-marketable equity investment made in a privately-held company accounted for under the equity method.

At date of acquisition, this investment had a carrying value of $5,951. The Company will test this non-marketable equity investment when events or circumstances exists that would be indicative of possible impairment.

ASV Stock Purchase

On December 19, 2014, the Company closed on the ASV Stock Purchase Agreement entered into between Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) and Terex Corporation (“Terex”) on October 29, 2014, pursuant to which the Company purchased 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of ASV Inc. a Grand Rapids, Minnesota-based manufacturer of a broad line of technology leading compact rubber tracked and skid steer loaders and accessories that had been a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex since 2008.

The fair value of the purchase consideration was $49,787 in total as shown below:

Cash	$	25,000
Note payable to seller		1,411
Fair value of non-controlling interest in ASV		23,376
Total purchase consideration	$	49,787

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, 2014, it was stated that the purchase price allocation was preliminary and was subject to final review of certain inventory, accrual and receivable balances. During the current quarter, the purchase price allocation was adjusted. As a result accrued expenses increased by $114 and goodwill increased by $114. The components of this adjustment are non-cash items and, therefore, are not included in the Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended December 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015, the purchase price allocation continues to be preliminary and is subject to final review of certain certain inventory, accrual and receivable balances.

Additionally, the balance sheet at December 31, 2014 was restated to reflect the above changes to ASV purchase price allocations as follows:

Account	Provisional amount recorded as of December 31, 2014			Adjustment to purchase price allocation			Revised Provisional amount recorded as of December 31, 2014
Goodwill	$	26,744		$	114		$	26,858
Accrued Expenses		(3,975	)		(114	)		(4,089	)

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

Purchase price allocation:

Cash	$	2
Accounts receivable		18,232
Prepaid Expenses		71
Inventory		27,217
Total fixed assets		19,177
Customer relationships		16,000

Accrued pension liability		(839	)
Assumption of non-recourse ASV debt		(44,650	)
Net assets acquired	$	49,787

Deferred bank fees and expense: Legal and bank fees incurred related to establishing term debt and revolving credit financing for ASV as part of the acquisition transaction. Manitex executed a note payable in the amount of $1,594 in connection with the transaction. The note was to reimburse Terex for Manitex’s share of fees and expenses, including $1,411 of fees related to new financing at ASV.

14

Noncontrolling interest in ASV: Fair value of Terex 49% share of ASV equity was calculated by grossing up the fair value of the controlling interest purchased by the Company to a 100% value, then deducting the $26,411 paid for the majority interest. Subsequently an adjustment for an implied minority discount of $2,000 (approximately 8%) was applied against initial calculation.

Non-recourse ASV debt: In connection with the transaction, ASV entered into a $40,000, five year Term debt facility and a $35,000 revolving credit facility. At the date of acquisition, ASV had fully drawn funds on the Term debt, $40,000, and had drawn $4,650 on the revolving credit facility.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total consideration is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the date of the acquisition as shown below.

Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by ASV, 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 of $4,390 were recorded.

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, patented 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 patented and 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 fair value of these relationships based on the excess earnings method, a form of the Income Approach.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of total consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired. The recognition of goodwill of $26,858 reflects the inherent value in the ASV reputation, which has been built since being founded in 1983 and the prospects for significant future earnings.

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

Accrued conversion tax: In connection with the acquisition, the Board of Directors of ASV, Inc. agreed to a Plan of Conversion to convert ASV, Inc., a corporation into a Minnesota limited liability company. Under the plan, all of the issued and outstanding shares of ASV, Inc. were cancelled and an equal number of limited liability company membership interests were issued to the members of ASV LLC, on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the conversion, ASV will have a taxable gain.

Acquisition transaction costs: Costs and expenses related to the acquisition have been expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred fees of $100 for legal services, $750 for acquisition related bonus payments, $325 for accounting services in connection with the prior year audit of ASV financial statements and $40 for Valuation services.

The results of the acquired ASV operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date. ASV is being treated as its own segment for segment reporting purposes.

4. Financial Instruments—Forward Currency Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The following tables set forth the company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820-10 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1	—	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2	—	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3	—	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Fair value of the forward currency contracts are determined on the last day of each reporting period using observable inputs, which are supplied to the Company by the foreign currency trading operation of its bank and are Level 2 items.

5. Derivatives Financial Instruments

The 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.

Forward Currency Contracts

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 provided certain criteria’s are met.

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. The Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to 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). 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 certain 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. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding forward currency contracts that were in place to hedge future sales. Therefore, there are currently no unrealized pre-tax gains or loss which will reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had entered into a series of forward currency exchange contracts. The contracts obligate the Company to purchase approximately CDN $5,508 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature on April 10, 2015. Under the contracts, the Company will purchase Canadian dollars at exchange rates of $0.8443 and $0.8441. The Canadian to US dollar exchange rates was $0.7895 at March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2015, the Company had forward currency contracts to sell Euros. The contracts obligate the Company to sell approximately €2,179 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature between July 2, 2015 and March 2, 2016. Under the contracts, the Company will sell Euros at exchange rates of $1.0634 and $1.4261. The Euro to US dollar exchange rate was 1.0741 at March 31, 2015.

17

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company uses financial instruments available on the market, including derivatives, solely to minimize its cost of borrowing and hedge the risk of interest rate and exchange rate fluctuation. In January 2009, prior to the January 15, 2015 acquisition date, PM Group entered into the following contracts in order to hedge the interest rate risk related to its term loans with two financial institutions:

A contract signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 20,000 (€ 20,000 at March 31, 2015), maturing on February 3, 2017 with interest payable every January 31 and July 31 each year. PM Group pays interest at a rate of 3.48% and receives from the counterparties interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“Euribor”) for the period in question.

A contract signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 8,496 (€ 1,444 at March 31, 2015), maturing on January 29, 2016 with interest payable every January 31 and July 31 each year. PM Group pays interest at a rate of 2.99% and receives from the counterparties interest at the Euribor rate for the period in question.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had the following forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps:

Nature of Derivative	Amount		Type
Forward currency contract	CDN$	5,508	Not designated as hedge instrument
Forward currency contract	€	2,179	Not designated as hedge instrument
Interest rate swap contracts	€	1,405	Not designated as hedge instrument

The following table provides the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments that are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

The following table shows the beginning and ending amounts of gains and losses related to hedges which have been included in Other Comprehensive Income and related activity net of income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

	Three months ended March 31,

Amount reclassified to income, loss (gain), net of income taxes		—		18
Ending balance gain (loss), net of income taxes	$	—	$	—

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 convertible debt, and restricted stock units. Details of the calculations are as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Net income attributable to shareholders of Manitex International, Inc.
Basic	$	(224	)	$	1,877
Diluted	$	(224	)	$	1,877
Earnings per share
Basic	$	(0.01	)	$	0.14
Diluted	$	(0.01	)	$	0.14
Weighted average common share outstanding
Basic		15,836,423			13,807,312
Diluted
Basic		15,836,423			13,807,312
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units		—			33,194
		15,836,423			13,840,506

19

At March 31, 2015, there are 201,695 restricted stock units which are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the average number of diluted shares outstanding shown above.

7. Equity

Stock Issuance

Shares issued to Terex Corporation

Stock issued to Directors and employees

On March 4, 2015, 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 6,800, 6,600 and 6,600 vest on March 4, 2015, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The result of the issuance was valued at $77.

On March 13, 2015, the Company granted 22,868 restricted stock units to employees pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

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 Company awarded under the Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan a total of 103,111 restricted stock units to employees and directors on January 1, 2015. The restricted stock units are subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock awards except the restricted stock units will not have voting rights and the common stock will not be issued until the vesting criteria are satisfied.

The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units:

	March 31, 2015
Outstanding on January 1, 2015		85,384
Units granted during the period		145,979
Vested and issued		(29,668	)
Forfeited		—

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 $362 and $284 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $929, $872 and $437 for the remainder of 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a one year period subsequent to the date of the financial statements. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for all entities for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-03 should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the effects of adoption. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

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

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

On January 6, 2015, the Company and Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) and Fifth Third Bank (collectively the “Banks”) entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The principal modification to the Credit Agreement resulting from the Amendment is the express authorization from the Banks for the Company to enter into the Perella Note Purchase Agreement, which is described in note 14.

On January 9, 2015, the Company together with its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries amended and restated its existing credit agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) and certain other lenders, who are participants under the credit agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides the Company with up to $71,000 of financing (“Financing”) comprised of (a) a $45,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to the U.S. Borrowers (“U.S. Revolver”), (b) a new $14,000 Secured Term Loan to the U.S. Borrowers (“Term Loan”) and (c) a $12,000 (or the Canadian dollar equivalent amount) Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to the Canadian Borrower (“Canadian Revolver”). The three aforementioned credit facilities each mature on August 19, 2018.

Prior to the credit restatement, the Company had US and Canadian revolving credit facilities of $40,000 and $9,000, respectively.

23

The Company is also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement including maintaining (1) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, (2) a Maximum Senior Secured First Lien North American Debt to Consolidated North American EBITDA Ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.00, with a step down to 3.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2015, and a further step down to 2.75 to 1.00 at June 30, 2016, and (3) a Maximum Consolidated North American Total Debt to Consolidated North American EBITDA Ratio of not more than 5.25 to 1.00, with a step down to 4.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2015, and a further step down to 3.75 to 1.00 at June 30, 2016.

The indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for the assets of the ASV and the Company’s equity interest in ASV. The facility contains customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on acquisitions, dividends, repurchase of the Company’s stock and capital expenditures.

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, 2015, the maximum the Company could have borrowed based upon available collateral under the Specialized Export Facility was $3,000. Under this facility, the Company can borrow either Canadian or U.S. dollars.

Any borrowings under the facility in U.S. dollars bear interest at the U.S. prime rate (prime was 3.25% at March 31, 2015). 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, 2015, the Company had outstanding borrowing in connection with the Specialized Export Facility of $1,255.

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 a bank. Load King pledged its equipment to the bank to secure additional term debt (“Equipment Note”). The funds received in connection with the above borrowing were used to repay a promissory note to Terex Corporation (“Terex”), which was issued in connection with the Load King acquisition. The BED Mortgage, the bank mortgage and the Equipment Note, which are all guaranteed by the Company, have outstanding balances as of March 31, 2015 of $748, $776 and $231, 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

25

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.

Columbia notes

In connection with Columbia acquisition the Company issued two notes. At date of issuance, the notes had face amounts of $450 (“Inventory Note”) and $390 (“Equipment Note”), respectively and both are non-interest bearing. The Inventory Note matures on August 31, 2016 and requires the Company to make 18 monthly installment payments of $25. The Equipment Note matures on May 31, 2016 and requires the Company to make 14 monthly installment payments of $25 and a final payment of $40 on May 31, 2016.

On March 12, 2015, the date of issuance, the fair value of Inventory Note and the Equipment Note was determined to be $436 and $378. The fair value of the notes 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 4.0% 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 between face amount of the promissory note and its fair value is being amortized over the life of the note and recorded as interest expense.

At March 31, 2015, the Inventory Note and the Equipment Note had a balance of $411 and $353, respectively.

CVS Debt

CVS Short-Term Working Capital Borrowings

At March 31, 2015, CVS had established demand credit facilities with twelve Italian banks. Under the facilities, CVS can borrow up to €335 ($360) 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 €13,713 ($14,729).

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, 2015, the banks had advanced CVS €4,873 ($5,234) at variable interest rates which currently range from 2.25% to 6.35%.

At March 31, 2015, the Company has guaranteed €1,944 ($2,088) of CVS’s outstanding debt. Additionally, the banks had issued performance bonds which total €533 ($572) which have been guaranteed by the Company.

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, 2015, the note had remaining principal balance of $153.

ASV Loan Facilities

In connection with the ASV arrangement, ASV entered into two separate loan facilities on December 19, 2014, one with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), and the other with Garrison Loan Agency Services LLC (“Garrison”). These two facilities are for the exclusive use of ASV and restrict the transfer of cash outside of ASV.

Both loan facilities are secured by certain assets of ASV and by a pledge of the equity interest in ASV. Pursuant to an intercreditor agreement dated as of December 19, 2014 among JPMCB, Garrison and ASV (“ASV Intercreditor Agreement”), the parties have agreed that (i) JPMCB shall have a first-priority security interest in substantially all personal property of ASV and (ii) Garrison shall have a first priority security interest in (a) substantially all real property of ASV and (b) a pledge of 100% of the equity interest in ASV issued to Company and to Terex. ASV’s loans are solely obligations of ASV and have not been guaranteed by the Company and are not collateralized by any assets outside of ASV.

ASV Revolving Loan Facility with JPMCB

On December 19, 2014 ASV entered into a $35,000 revolving loan facility with JPMCB (“JPMCB Credit Agreement”) as the administrative agent, which loan facility includes two sub-facilities: (i) a $1,000 sub-facility for letters of credit, and (ii) a $7,500 sub-facility for loans to be guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States of America (“Ex-Im Bank Loans”). A portion of the JPMCB Credit Agreement was used to fund certain transaction costs and payments required by ASV under the ASV arrangement. The remainder of the loan amount will be available to ASV for its general working capital needs.

The $35,000 revolving loan facility 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, plus (2) the lesser of (i) 65% of eligible inventory valued at the lower of cost or market value or (ii) 85% of eligible inventory valued at the net orderly liquidation value, reduced by (3) (i) certain reserves determined by JPMCB, (ii) the amount of outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the JPMCB Credit Agreement and (iii) the amount of outstanding Ex-In Bank loans. The facility matures on December 19, 2019. At March 31, 2015, ASV had drawn $16,219 under the $35,000 JPMCB Credit Agreement. The JPMCB Credit Agreement bears interest at ASV’s option at JPMCB’ prime rate plus a spread or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a spread. The interest rate spread for prime rate is between 0.50% and 1.00% and for LIBOR the spread is between 1.50% and 2.00% in each case with the spread being based on the aggregate amount of funds available for borrowing by ASV under the JPMCB Credit Agreement, as defined in the JPMCB Credit Agreement. The base rate and LIBOR spread is currently .75% and 1.75%, respectively. Funds borrowed under the LIBOR options can be borrowed for periods of one, two, three or six months. At March 31, 2015 the maximum ASV could borrow based on available collateral was capped at $22,789.

The indebtedness of ASV under the JPMCB Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of ASV’s assets, but subject to the terms of the ASV Intercreditor Agreement. The facility contains customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on additional indebtedness, acquisitions, and payment of dividends. ASV is also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the JPMCB Credit Agreement including maintaining a Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.0. The covenant requirement becomes effective as of March 31, 2015.

Under the JPMCB Credit Agreement, the banks are also paid a commitment fee payable in monthly installments equal to (i) the average daily amount of funds available but undrawn multiplied by (ii) an annual rate of 0.25%.

On December 19, 2014 ASV entered into a $40,000 term loan facility with Garrison (“Garrison Credit Agreement”) as the administrative agent. A portion of the Garrison Credit Agreement was used to fund certain transaction costs and payments required by ASV under the ASV arrangement.

At March 31, 2015, ASV had a remaining principal balance of $39,500 under the Garrison Credit Agreement. The Garrison Credit Agreement bears interest, at a one-month adjusted LIBOR rate plus a spread of between 9.00% and 9.50%.

The interest rate for the period ending March 31, 2015 was 10.5%.

ASV is obligated to make quarterly principal payments of $500 commencing on April 1, 2015. Any unpaid principal is due on maturity, which is December 19, 2019. Interest is payable monthly beginning on February 1, 2015.

The indebtedness of ASV under the Garrison Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of ASV assets, but subject to the terms of the ASV Intercreditor Agreement. The facility contains customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on additional indebtedness, acquisitions, and payment of dividends. ASV is also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Garrison Credit Agreement including maintaining (1) a Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.0 which shall step up to 1.50 to 1.00 by March 31, 2017, (2) a Leverage Ratio of 4.75 to 1.00, which shall step down to 2.50 to 1.00 by March 31, 2018 and (3) a limitation of $1,600 in capital expenditures in any fiscal year.

Accrued interest on these notes through the date of acquisition, January 15, 2015, totaled €4,857 ($5,217) and is payable in semi-annual installments beginning June 2015 and ending December 2016.

An adjustment in the purchase accounting to value the non-interest bearing debt at its fair market value was made. At January 15, 2015 it was determined that the fair value of the debt was $1,460 or $1,720 less than the book value. This reduction is not reflected in the above descriptions of PM debt. This discount is being amortized over the life of the debt and being charged to interest expense. As of March 31, 2015 the remaining balance was €1,348 or $1,448 and is an offset to the debt shown above.

PM Group is subject to certain financial covenants as defined by the debt restructuring agreement with BPER and Unicredit including maintaining (1) income to EBITDA, (2) income to equity, and (3) EBITDA to financial charges ratios.

Capital leases

Georgetown facility

The Company has a twelve year lease, which expires in April 2018 that provides for monthly lease payments of $76 for its Georgetown, Texas facility. The lease has been classified as a capital lease. At March 31, 2015, the outstanding capital lease obligation is $2,049.

Winona facility

The Company had a five year lease which expired 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, 2015, the outstanding capital lease obligation was $497. The Company has given the landlord notice of its intent to purchase the facility and expect to complete the closing in the near future.

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.

29

The equipment, which is acquired in ordinary course of the Company’s business, is available for sale 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, 2015
New equipment	$	1,166		60	$	22	$	918
Used equipment	$	1,754		36	$	53	$	452
Total	$	2,920			$	75	$	1,370

The Company has three additional capital leases. As of March 31, 2015, the capitalized lease obligation in aggregate related to the three leases was $67.

Note 14. Convertible Notes

Related Party

On December 19, 2014, the Company issued a subordinated convertible debenture with a $7,500 face amount payable to Terex, a related party. The convertible debenture, is subordinated, carries a 5% per annum coupon, and is convertible into Company common stock at a conversion price of $13.65 per share or a total of 549,451 shares, subject to customary adjustment provisions. The debenture has a December 19, 2020 maturity date.

From and after the third anniversary of the original issuance date, the Company may redeem the convertible debenture in full (but not in part) at any time that the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals at least 130% of the Conversion Price (as defined in the debenture) for at least 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days. Following an election by the holder to convert the debenture into common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the debenture, the Company has the discretion to deliver to the holder either (i) shares of common stock, (ii) a cash payment, or (iii) a combination of cash and stock.

In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

On December 19, 2014, the components of the note was as follows:

Liability component	$	6,607
Equity component (a component of paid in capital)		893
	$	7,500

Additionally in connection with the transaction a $321 deferred tax liability was established and was recorded as a deduction to paid in capital. The deferred tax liability was recognized as the excess of the principal amount being amortized and charged to interest expenses that is not tax deductible.

As of March 31, 2015, the note had a remaining principal balance of $6,641 and an unamortized discount of $859. The difference between this amount and the amount initially recorded represents $34 of amortization of excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount.

Perella Notes

On January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Perella Note Purchase Agreement”) with MI Convert Holdings LLC (which is owned by investment funds constituting part of the Perella Weinberg Partners Asset Based Value Strategy) and Invemed Associates LLC (together, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $15,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due 2021 (the “Perella Notes”) to the Investors. The Notes are subordinated, carry a 6.50% per annum coupon, and are convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of Company common stock, based on an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental corporate changes, the Perella Notes are redeemable at the option of the holders of the Perella Notes. The Perella Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date, and the payment of principal is subject to acceleration upon an event of default. The issuance of the Perella Notes by the Company was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In connection with the issuance of the Perella Notes, on January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Perella Notes. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on February 23, 2015.

In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

On January 7, 2015, the components of the note was as follows:

Liability component	$	14,286
Equity component (a component of paid in capital)		714
	$	15,000

Additionally in connection with the transaction a $257 deferred tax liability was established and was recorded as a deduction to paid in capital. The deferred tax liability was recognized as the excess of the principal amount being amortized and charged to interest expenses is not tax deductible.

As of March 31, 2015, the note had remaining principal balance of $14,310 and an unamortized discount of $690. The difference between this amount and the amount initially recorded represents $24 of amortization of excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount.

15. 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. ASV product liability cases that existed on date of acquisition have a $4,000 self-retention limit.

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. A provisional reserve has been established for the above mentioned liability case. The Company is, however, waiting to receive additional information required to access the value of the liability as of the date ASV was acquired. Based on a review of the additional information, the provisional reserve may be adjusted with an offsetting adjustment to goodwill. The adjustment will be made as of the date of the acquisition. At this time, the Company cannot assess what the magnitude of future possible adjustment will be and, therefore, cannot conclude that it will not be material.

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.

31

Beginning on December 31, 2011, the Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has a per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,150, $1,325 and $1,875 for 2013, 2014 and 2015 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, 2015, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs $1,615 without interest in 17 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 each year. The Company has recorded a liability for the net present value of the liability. The difference between the net present value and the total payment will be charged to interest expense over payment period.

It is reasonably possible that the “Estimated Reserve for Product Liability Claims” may change within the next 12 months. A change in estimate could occur if a case is settled for more or less than anticipated, or if additional information becomes known to the Company.

18. 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 28.7% for 2015. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

The 2015 effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily related to the non-taxable portion of A.S.V.’s earnings, and foreign earnings which are taxed at lower rates.

37

ASV Segment

On December 19, 2014, the Company acquired 51% of A.S.V., Inc. from Terex Corporation (“Terex”). In connection with the acquisition, ASV was converted to an LLC and its name was changed to A.S.V., LLC (ASV). ASV located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota manufactures a line of high quality compact rubber tracked and skid steer loaders. The ASV products will be distributed through the Terex distribution channels as well as through Manitex and other independent dealers. The products are used in the site clearing, general construction, forestry, golf course maintenance and landscaping industries, with general construction being the largest market.

Equipment Distribution Segment

The Equipment Distribution segment comprises the operations of Crane & Machinery (“C&M”), a division of Manitex International. The segment markets products used primarily for infrastructure development and commercial construction applications that include road and bridge construction, general contracting, roofing, scrap handling and sign construction and maintenance. C&M is a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes, and supplies repair parts for a wide variety of medium to heavy duty construction equipment and sells domestically and internationally, predominately to end users, including the rental market. It also provides crane equipment repair services in the Chicago area. C&M uses the trade name North American Equipment Exchange to market previously-owned construction and heavy equipment, both domestically and internationally and provides a wide range of used lifting and construction equipment of various ages and condition. It also has the capability to refurbish equipment to the customers’ specification. The Equipment Distribution segment also operates as the North American sales organization for our Italian based Valla pick and carry crane products.

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 2014 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 by adverse winter weather conditions in various parts of N. America, resulting in a decrease in revenues from our existing products which was more than offset by additional revenues related to our acquisitions. The strengthening US dollar negatively impacted the translation of our overseas revenues since these are denominated in euros and Canadian dollars from our Italian and Canadian operations. However, the European economies and our business operations there showed modest growth in the quarter excluding any currency impact. At the end of the quarter, the Company backlog was $110 million, including orders from the recent ASV and PM acquisitions that now comprise 25% of the total backlog at March 31, 2015.

Factors Affecting Revenues and Gross Profit

The Company derives most of its revenue from purchase orders from dealers and distributors. The demand for the Company’s products depends upon the general economic conditions of the markets in which the Company competes. The Company’s sales depend in part upon its customers’ replacement or repair cycles. Adverse economic conditions, including a decrease in commodity prices, may cause customers to forego or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing machinery. Additionally, our Manitex Liftking subsidiary revenues are impacted by the timing of orders received for military forklifts and residential housing starts. CVS revenues are impacted in part by the timing of contract awards related to major port projects.

Gross profit varies from period to period. Factors that affect gross profit include product mix, production levels and cost of raw materials. Margins tend to increase when production is skewed towards larger capacity cranes, special mission oriented vehicles, specialized carriers and heavy material transporters.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Net income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

For both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company had a net income of $0.07 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the net income of $0.07 million consisted of revenue of $105.9 million, cost of sales of $85.6 million, research and development costs of $1.2 million, SG&A expenses of $17 million, interest expense of $2.9 million, foreign currency transaction gains of $0.9 million and income tax expense of $0.03 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the net income of $1.9 million consisted of revenue of $62.6 million, cost of sales of $51.0 million, research and development costs of $0.7 million, SG&A expenses of $7.3 million, interest expense of $0.8 million, foreign currency transaction losses of $0.1 million and income tax expense of $0.9 million.

38

Net revenues and gross profit—For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net revenues and gross profit were $105.9 million and $20.3 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 19.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. 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.

Net revenues increased $43.3 million to $105.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $62.6 million for the comparable period in 2014. Without the ASV and PM transactions, revenues would have decreased $5.3 million, as ASV and PM had combined revenues of $48.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Of the $5.3 million decrease in revenues, the impact of the stronger US dollar compared to the first quarter of 2014 resulted in lower sales of $3.4 million. The remaining decrease in sales of $1.9 million was attributable to lower sales in the Equipment Distribution segment of $1.2 million from lower sales of equipment partially offset by increased parts and rental revenues, and $0.7 million lower sales in the lifting equipment segment, where lower crane sales of approximately $2.0 million were offset by increased material handling equipment sales of $1.3 million. Crane product sales in the greater than 40 ton capacity were 19% lower reflecting lower energy sector demand, while increased material handling equipment sales reflected increased shipments of military forklifts and trailers offset by reduced mobile tank sales. ASV sales were substantially focused on the N. American market and for the quarter were skewed more heavily towards the lower capacity units used in more general construction activity.

Our gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased 70 basis points to 19.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 18.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Gross profit percent excluding the newly acquired businesses was 17.7%, a reduction from the prior year period of 70 basis points attributed to the mix of sales, reflecting the lower shipments of higher margin large tonnage cranes offsetting improved material handling margins from military forklifts and trailers. The newly acquired businesses contributed to the overall increase in margin percent to 19.2%. Gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was adversely impacted by $0.9 million of costs related to purchase accounting inventory step up charges for both ASV and PM.

Research and development—Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1.2 million compared to $0.7 million for the comparable period in 2014, an increase of $0.5 million. Excluding $0.7 million additional expenses for ASV and PM acquired subsequent to March 31, 2014, expenditure on R&D was relatively consistent with the prior year period, but reducing $0.2 million as certain development projects were completed.

Selling, general and administrative expense—Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $17.0 million compared to $7.3 million for the comparable period in 2014, an increase of $9.7 million, of which $9.4 million is attributable to the newly acquired businesses since March 31, 2014. The remaining $0.3 million increase includes $1.1 million attributable to expenses related to the transactions for the newly acquired businesses. Excluding these costs, SG&A costs decreased from the prior year period by $0.8 million, largely due to the absence of costs that were incurred in the March 2014 quarter for attendance at the ConExpo trade show.

Operating income—For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had operating income of $2.1million and $3.6 million, respectively. The year over year decrease of $1.5 million was generated from an increase in gross profit of $8.7 million offset by an increase of $10.2 million in operating expenses, of which $9.4 million were from newly acquired businesses. Included in operating income for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 were transaction and related expenditures totaling $3.0 million, without which operating income would have increase $1.5 million over the comparative period.

Interest expense—Interest expense was $2.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $2.1 million. An increase in interest expense of $0.5 million is related to the increase in debt associated with financing the PM and ASV acquisitions, and interest cost of $1.6 million directly attributable to the non-recourse term and working capital financing debt in ASV and PM. To finance the transactions, the Company issued convertible debt instruments with a face value of $22.5 million and entered into a $14.0 million term loan with its bank. Interest on this debt accounts for substantially all of the $0.5 million increase in interest charges in the current year quarter.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses—For the three months ended March 31, 2015, foreign currency gains were $0.9 million, all related to the PM operation. For the remainder of the operations, foreign exchange gains and losses were insignificant. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had an insignificant loss. As stated in the past, 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

39

contracts it holds. The Company has not yet implemented a program to hedge PM’s currency risk, but is in the process of evaluating a strategy to achieve its goal of minimizing its transaction currency gains and losses. The Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at their market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings as a currency gain or loss.

Income tax—For the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014 the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.03 million and $0.9 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 28.7% and 32% for 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The 2015 effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily related to the non-taxable portion of A.S.V.’s earnings, and foreign earnings which are taxed at lower rates.

Net income—Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.07 million. This compares with a net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $1.9 million.

Net revenues

Net revenues increased $12.9 million to $71.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $58.6 million for the comparable period in 2014. Without the PM acquisitions, revenues would have decreased $4.0 million, as PM had sales of $16.6 million for the seventy five days from date of acquisition to March 31, 2015. Of this $4.1 million decrease, approximately $3.4 million related to the impact of the stronger US dollar compared to the first quarter of 2014. The remaining $0.7 million of lower sales reflected lower crane sales of approximately $2.0 million partially offset by increased material handling equipment sales of $1.3 million. Crane product sales in the greater than 40 ton capacity were 19% lower reflecting lower energy sector demand, while increased material handling equipment sales reflected increased shipments of military forklifts and trailers offset by reduced mobile tank sales.

Operating income and operating margins

Operating income of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was equivalent to 4.3% of net revenues compared to an operating income of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 9.1% of net revenues. This represents a decrease of $2.5 million in operating income between periods. Of this decrease approximately $0.9 million is due to a decrease in on operating profit generated by existing business units (business units owned as of March 31, 2014). This decrease in operating income is principally due to a decrease in demand for products used in the energy sectors. This was reflected in a decrease in operating profits for crane products and mobile storage tanks. The aforementioned decrease was partially offset by an increase in operating profit generated from material handling products and specialized trailers. PM contributed to the decrease as it had $0.9 million operating loss. Included in PM operating loss is approximately $0.7 million of amortization of beginning inventory step up for inventory that was on hand at date of acquisition that was sold in the period. PM Group also had $0.4 million of redundancy cost for employees who have been terminated. Finally, there is an intra-segment profit in inventory elimination of $0.6 million to eliminate profit on intra-segment sales until the products are sold to third parties.

Operating income as a percent of revenue decreased by 4.8% to 4.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 9.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. See above for detailed explanation.

ASV Segment

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Net revenues	$	32,061			—
Operating income		1,979			—
Operating margin		6.2	%		—

ASV was acquired on December 15, 2014, therefore there is no comparison for the three month period ending March 31, 2014

Net revenues—Net revenues for the three month ended March 31, 2015 were $32.1 million, comprising whole goods and parts revenue. Sales in the period were sold under the pre-acquisition branding and through existing distribution channels since new distribution for the ASV brand is still under development and will start to be introduced in the second quarter of 2015. Sales in the quarter were substantially focused on the N. American market and for the quarter were skewed more heavily towards the lower capacity units used in more general construction activity.

Operating income for the period was $2.0 million or 6.2% of sales. Gross margin was adversely impacted by the mix of product sales in the first quarter that was weighted towards smaller capacity units with lower gross profit margins and $0.2 million of inventory step up costs arising from purchase accounting. Operating expenses for the quarter included $0.6 million additional cost largely due to accounting and legal costs related to the transaction.

Equipment Distribution Segment

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Net revenues	$	3,490		$	4,717
Operating income		30			61
Operating margin		0.9	%		1.3	%

41

Net revenues—Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $3.5 million compared to $4.7 million in the three months ended March 31 2014, a decrease of $1.2 million. The decrease in sales resulted from lower sales of equipment of $1.3 million partially offset by increased parts and rental revenues.

Operating income and operating margins—The Equipment Distribution segment had operating income of $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to operating income of $0.06 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The impact of this reduction was largely equal between reduced gross margin and slightly higher operating expense. Gross margin decreased 1.2%, as the margin impact of a reduction in revenues of $1.2 million was substantially offset by an improvement in gross profit percent of 4.8%. This improvement was the result of improved mix in sales from higher parts, rental and service sales and an improved margin on sales of whole goods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $5.6 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company has U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities, with maturity dates of August 19, 2018 and our Canadian Subsidiary also has a specialized export facility. Additionally, ASV has a revolving credit facility, which is for its sole use. At March 31, 2015 the Company had approximately $18.8 million available in North America to borrow under its revolving credit facilities. ASV has a revolving credit facility with approximately $6.6 million of availability.

At March 31, 2015, CVS had established demand credit facilities with twelve Italian banks. Under the facilities, CVS can borrow up to €0.3 million ($0.4 million) on an unsecured basis and additional amounts as advances against orders, invoices and letter of credit with a total maximum facilities (including the unsecured portion) of €13.7 million ($14.7 million). The maximum amount outstanding is limited to 80% of the assigned accounts receivable if there is an invoice issued or 50% if there is an order/contract. 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, 2015, the banks had advanced CVS €4.9 million ($5.2 million) and had issued performance bonds which total €0.5 million ($0.6 million), which also count against the maximum that can be borrowed under these facilities.

At March 31, 2015, the PM Group had established working capital facilities with six Italian and twelve South American banks. Under these facilities, the PM Group can borrow $24.3 million against orders, invoices and letters of credit. At March 31, 2015, the PM Group had received advances of $20.3 million. Future advances is dependent on having available collateral.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, total debt increased by $88.1 million to $200.4 million at March 31, 2015 from $112.3 million at December 31, 2014.

Future availability under credit facilities

As stated above, the Company had cash of $5.6 million and approximately $14.8 million available to borrow under its credit facilities at March 31, 2015. ASV has a revolving credit facility with approximately $6.6 million of availability which is for its sole use.

CVS and the PM Group have their own working capital facilities. As stated above, any future advances against the Italian facilities are dependent on having available collateral. Additionally, the Company is permitted to make limited advances to the Italian operations if needed under the Company’s credit facilities.

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 $26.5 million in the U.S. and CDN $10.5 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.

2015

Operating activities consumed $15.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2015 comprised of net income of $0.1 million, non-cash items that totaled $4.0 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $19.5

The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $2.9 million, shared based compensation of $0.6 million, amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.3 million, and $0.2 amortization of debt discounts. The change in assets and liabilities which consumed $19.5 million in cash is principally attributed to paying taxes on the conversion of ASV to an LLC for which a payable of $16.5 million had been established at December 31, 2014. Changes in other assets liabilities consumed an additional $3.0

45

million, which is principally related to increase in inventory of $3.3 million and an increase in prepaid expenses of $3.2 million offset by an increase in accounts payable of $1.9 million. The increase in inventory is attributed to having PM knuckle boom cranes and crane kits in the United States inventory. The crane kits will be mounted on chassis in the United States. These actions have been taken to assist the Company in its efforts to increase PM market penetration in the United States. The increase in prepaid expenses is due to an increase in prepaid insurance (new insurance policy year) and an increase in prepaid taxes in Europe. The increase in accounts payable is due to s and timing of payments to our vendors.

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 consumed $19.5 million of cash which primarily represents an acquisition of a business and to a lesser extent investment in equipment.

Financing activities provided $37.2 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which compares to the $1.1 million in cash used for the comparable period. The increase in borrowings is principally attributed to an increase in borrowing to purchase the PM Group ($15.0 million convertible debt and $14.0 million term loan), an increase under the ASV revolving credit facility (paid taxes on conversion to an LLC) offset by a net decrease in borrowings under the Company’s North American revolving credit facilities & Italian working capital facilities along with term debt and capital leases payments.

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.

Financing activities consumed $1.1 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease is attributed to a $1.0 million decrease in outstanding debt under the Company’s revolving credit facilities and working capital facilities as note payments and capital lease payments which totaled $0.8 million and new borrowing of $0.7 million essentially offset each other.

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.

The Company does not believe that these contingencies in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a one year period subsequent to the date of the financial statements. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for all entities for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-03 should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the effects of adoption. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Comerica has issued a $0.625 million standby letter of credit in favor of an insurance carrier to secure obligations which may arise in connection with future deductibles payments that may be incurred under the Company’s workman compensation insurance policies.

Additionally, various Italian banks have issued performance bonds which total €533($572) 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 2014 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, 2014.

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, 2015.

47

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, 2015 to provide reasonable assurance that (1) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 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 $50 thousand to $0.5 million. ASV product liability cases that existed on date of acquisition have a $4 million self-retention limit. 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 $1.2 million 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, 2014.

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.

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 $482 and $458 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory Valuation

Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost or market (first in, first out). 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

Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s products are typically sold with a warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period of time. The specific warranty offered is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. The Equipment Distribution segment does not accrue for warranty costs at the time of sales, as they are reimbursed by the manufacturers for any warranty that they provide to their customers.

A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. 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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenue and related costs are generally recorded when products are shipped and invoiced to our customers. Revenue is recognized when title passes and risk of loss pass to our customers which is generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the terms of the contract. Under certain contracts with our customers title passes to the customers when the units are completed. The units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, the customer is notified that the units are complete and wait pick up or delivery as specified by the customer before income is recognized. Additionally, the customer is requested to sign an “Invoice Authorization Form” which acknowledges the contract terms and acknowledges that the customer has economic ownership and control over the unit. It also acknowledges that we are going to invoice the unit per terms of the contract. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

For FOB contracts, customers may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has authorized in writing that we hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the units are invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and we have no further obligations under the order. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

In addition, our policy requires in all instances certain minimum criteria be met in order to recognize revenue, specifically:

a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

b) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;

c) Collectability is reasonably assured; and

d) We have no significant obligations for future performance.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to certain foreign term loans. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in current earnings immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the effective portion of the gain or loss is recognized and is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedging instrument affects earnings (date of sale). As part of the acquisition of PM Group, which was acquired on January 15, 2015, the Company acquired interest rate swap contracts, which manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to term loans with certain financial institutions in Italy. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5.

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.

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). See Note 5 for additional details.

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.

ASV, PM Group and Columbia Tank results are included in the Company’s results from their respective dates of acquisition of December 19, 2014, January 15, 2015 and March 13, 2015.

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).

Acquisitions and Investments

3. Acquisitions and Investments

PM Group

On July 21, 2014 Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a series of agreements to acquire PM Group S.p.A, (“PM Group”), a manufacturer of truck mounted cranes based in San Cesario sul Panaro, Modena, Italy. On January 15, 2015, the Company’s acquisition of PM Group closed.

The fair value of the purchase consideration is shown below:

Cash	€	17,142	$	20,312
994,483 shares of Minitel International, Inc.		8,710		10,124
Total purchase consideration	€	25,852	$	30,436

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 Company engaged a valuation expert and a tax advisor to provide guidance and assistance to management which was considered and in part relied upon in completing its purchase price allocation. 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 the entire allocation is subject to a final review, including but not limited to the accounts receivable, inventory, intangible assets and accruals. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the PM acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Purchase price allocation:

Cash invested in PM	€	1,481		$	1,721
Trade receivables		19,057			22,454
Inventory		20,088			23,668
Prepaid Expenses		1,825			2,150
Other receivables		1,921			2,263
Total fixed assets		14,674			17,290
Customer relationships		10,841			12,773
Trade name and trademarks		5,850			6,893
Patented & Unpatented Technology		7,657			9,022
Goodwill		26,001			30,636
Deferred net tax assets		8,190			9,650
Other long term assets		1,267			1,493
Accounts payable		(21,907	)		(25,812	)
Accrued expenses and accruals		(7,658	)		(9,023	)
Other current liabilities		(757	)		(892	)
Deferred tax liability		(11,595	)		(13,662	)
Other long-term liabilities		(2,973	)		(3,503	)
Assumed non-recourse debt		(48,110	)		(56,685	)
Net assets acquired	€	25,852		$	30,436

Contingent Liability. In accordance with ASC 805, the acquirer is to recognize the acquisition date fair value of contingent liability. The Company entered into an Option Agreement with one of the PM Group senior banks under which the bank will sell to the Company PM debt with a face value of €5,000. Under the Option Agreement, the bank shall receive €2,500 if PM has 2017 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, of between €14,500 and €16,500, and €5,000 if 2017 EBITDA exceeds €16,500. If 2017 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, is less than €14,500, the bank is to sell the debt to the Company for €0.001. Given the disparity between the EBITDA 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 payment is €1,093 or $1,270. Based thereon, we determined the fair value of the contingent liability to be €1,093 or $1,270. This amount is included in other long-term liabilities in the above table.

Non-recourse PM debt: Under the transaction, the PM remains obligated for the following debt:

Term debt—interest bearing	€	23,221		$	27,359
Term debt—non-interest bearing		10,289			12,123
Fair market adjustment for non-interest bearing debt		(1,460	)		(1,720	)
Working capital borrowing		14,340			16,896
Interest rate swap derivative contract		1,720			2,027
Total assumed non-recourse debt	€	48,110		$	56,685

Non-interest bearing debt. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed non-interest bearing debt of €10,289. The fair value of the non-interest bearing debt was determined to be €8,829 or $10,403. The fair value of the non-interest bearing debt 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 5.24% 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 interest rate swap derivative was valued at its fair value, which is based on quotes from a financial institution.

Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by PM, except for certain adjustments necessary to state such amounts at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Significant fair market adjustments were made to decrease inventory by €771 and to decrease fixed assets by €3,647.

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, patented 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 patented and 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 fair value of these relationships based on the excess earnings method, a form of the Income Approach.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of total consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired. The recognition of goodwill of $30,636 reflects the inherent value in the PM reputation, which has been built since being founded in 1959 and the prospects for significant future earnings.

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 $185 for legal services, $750 for acquisition related bonus payments, $347 for accounting services in connection with the prior year audit of PM financial statements and $206 for other costs related to the acquisition.

The results of the acquired PM operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date. PM is included in the Lifting segment for segment reporting purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisition of PM occurred on January 1, 2014. 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.

Columbia Tanks

On March 12, 2015 the Company’s subsidiary, Manitex Sabre, entered into an inventory purchase agreement and an equipment purchase agreement, with Columbia Tanks LLC, an Indiana company and J.F. Henry, the “Member”, for the purchase of inventory and used manufacturing equipment. In a separate agreement with F.H. Associates, the Company entered into a three year lease of a 99,000 square feet manufacturing facility at an annual rent commencing at $240 per annum. The lease is renewable after three years at the Company’s option.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and the balance is subject to a final review of inventory, equipment and intangible assets.

The fair value of the purchase consideration was $1,214 in total as shown below:

Cash	$	400
Seller notes		814
Total purchase consideration	$	1,214

Seller Note. In connection with the inventory and equipment purchases, the Company issued two non-interest bearing notes for $450 and $390 that mature on August 31, 2016 and May 31, 2016. The fair value of Inventory Note and the Equipment Note was determined to be $436 and $378. The fair value of the notes 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 4.0% 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.

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 purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to final review of inventory, fixed assets and related intangibles.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the Columbia acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired:

Purchase price allocation:

Inventory	$	686
Equipment		528
	$	1,214

Tangible and Intangible Assets and Liabilities: The tangible assets were valued at their respective purchase price. Management has preliminarily determined that amount paid to acquire the assets approximates the fair value of the assets acquired.

Pro forma information is not included as Columbia Tanks’ amounts are insignificant.

Lift Ventures, LLC

On December 16, 2014, Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”), BGI USA Inc. (“BGI”), Movedesign SRL and R & S Advisory S.r.l., entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) for Lift Ventures LLC (“Lift Ventures”), a joint venture entity. The purposes for which Lift Ventures is organized are the manufacturing and selling of certain products and components, including the Schaeff line of electric forklifts and certain LiftKing products. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Company was granted a 25% equity stake in Lift Ventures in exchange for the contribution of inventory totaling $5,951 and a license of certain intellectual property related to the Company’s products

This investment is a non-marketable equity investment made in a privately-held company accounted for under the equity method.

At date of acquisition, this investment had a carrying value of $5,951. The Company will test this non-marketable equity investment when events or circumstances exists that would be indicative of possible impairment.

ASV Stock Purchase

On December 19, 2014, the Company closed on the ASV Stock Purchase Agreement entered into between Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) and Terex Corporation (“Terex”) on October 29, 2014, pursuant to which the Company purchased 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of ASV Inc. a Grand Rapids, Minnesota-based manufacturer of a broad line of technology leading compact rubber tracked and skid steer loaders and accessories that had been a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex since 2008.

The fair value of the purchase consideration was $49,787 in total as shown below:

Cash	$	25,000
Note payable to seller		1,411
Fair value of non-controlling interest in ASV		23,376
Total purchase consideration	$	49,787

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, 2014, it was stated that the purchase price allocation was preliminary and was subject to final review of certain inventory, accrual and receivable balances. During the current quarter, the purchase price allocation was adjusted. As a result accrued expenses increased by $114 and goodwill increased by $114. The components of this adjustment are non-cash items and, therefore, are not included in the Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended December 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015, the purchase price allocation continues to be preliminary and is subject to final review of certain certain inventory, accrual and receivable balances.

Additionally, the balance sheet at December 31, 2014 was restated to reflect the above changes to ASV purchase price allocations as follows:

Account	Provisional amount recorded as of December 31, 2014			Adjustment to purchase price allocation			Revised Provisional amount recorded as of December 31, 2014

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

Purchase price allocation:

Cash	$	2
Accounts receivable		18,232
Prepaid Expenses		71
Inventory		27,217
Total fixed assets		19,177
Customer relationships		16,000

Goodwill		26,858
Capitalized debt issuance costs		2,767
Accounts payable		(9,459	)
Accrued expenses		(4,089	)
Accrued conversion tax		(16,500	)
Accrued pension liability		(839	)
Assumption of non-recourse ASV debt		(44,650	)
Net assets acquired	$	49,787

Deferred bank fees and expense: Legal and bank fees incurred related to establishing term debt and revolving credit financing for ASV as part of the acquisition transaction. Manitex executed a note payable in the amount of $1,594 in connection with the transaction. The note was to reimburse Terex for Manitex’s share of fees and expenses, including $1,411 of fees related to new financing at ASV.

Noncontrolling interest in ASV: Fair value of Terex 49% share of ASV equity was calculated by grossing up the fair value of the controlling interest purchased by the Company to a 100% value, then deducting the $26,411 paid for the majority interest. Subsequently an adjustment for an implied minority discount of $2,000 (approximately 8%) was applied against initial calculation.

Non-recourse ASV debt: In connection with the transaction, ASV entered into a $40,000, five year Term debt facility and a $35,000 revolving credit facility. At the date of acquisition, ASV had fully drawn funds on the Term debt, $40,000, and had drawn $4,650 on the revolving credit facility.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total consideration is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the date of the acquisition as shown below.

Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by ASV, 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 of $4,390 were recorded.

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, patented 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 patented and 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 fair value of these relationships based on the excess earnings method, a form of the Income Approach.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of total consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired. The recognition of goodwill of $26,858 reflects the inherent value in the ASV reputation, which has been built since being founded in 1983 and the prospects for significant future earnings.

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

Accrued conversion tax: In connection with the acquisition, the Board of Directors of ASV, Inc. agreed to a Plan of Conversion to convert ASV, Inc., a corporation into a Minnesota limited liability company. Under the plan, all of the issued and outstanding shares of ASV, Inc. were cancelled and an equal number of limited liability company membership interests were issued to the members of ASV LLC, on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the conversion, ASV will have a taxable gain.

Acquisition transaction costs: Costs and expenses related to the acquisition have been expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred fees of $100 for legal services, $750 for acquisition related bonus payments, $325 for accounting services in connection with the prior year audit of ASV financial statements and $40 for Valuation services.

The results of the acquired ASV operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date. ASV is being treated as its own segment for segment reporting purposes.

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, 2015, and results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated balances as of December 31, 2014 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, 2014. 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, 2014. 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 $482 and $458 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost or market (first in, first out). 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

Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s products are typically sold with a warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period of time. The specific warranty offered is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. The Equipment Distribution segment does not accrue for warranty costs at the time of sales, as they are reimbursed by the manufacturers for any warranty that they provide to their customers.

A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. 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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue and related costs are generally recorded when products are shipped and invoiced to our customers. Revenue is recognized when title passes and risk of loss pass to our customers which is generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the terms of the contract. Under certain contracts with our customers title passes to the customers when the units are completed. The units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, the customer is notified that the units are complete and wait pick up or delivery as specified by the customer before income is recognized. Additionally, the customer is requested to sign an “Invoice Authorization Form” which acknowledges the contract terms and acknowledges that the customer has economic ownership and control over the unit. It also acknowledges that we are going to invoice the unit per terms of the contract. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

For FOB contracts, customers may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has authorized in writing that we hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the units are invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and we have no further obligations under the order. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

In addition, our policy requires in all instances certain minimum criteria be met in order to recognize revenue, specifically:

a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

b) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;

c) Collectability is reasonably assured; and

d) We have no significant obligations for future performance.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to certain foreign term loans. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in current earnings immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the effective portion of the gain or loss is recognized and is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedging instrument affects earnings (date of sale). As part of the acquisition of PM Group, which was acquired on January 15, 2015, the Company acquired interest rate swap contracts, which manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to term loans with certain financial institutions in Italy. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5.

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.

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). See Note 5 for additional details.

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.

ASV, PM Group and Columbia Tank results are included in the Company’s results from their respective dates of acquisition of December 19, 2014, January 15, 2015 and March 13, 2015.

Reclassification

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

Income Taxes

18. 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 28.7% for 2015. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

The 2015 effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily related to the non-taxable portion of A.S.V.’s earnings, and foreign earnings which are taxed at lower rates.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $34. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $905. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2015 were approximately $219, which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2015 the Company had accrued immaterial amounts for the potential payment of interest and penalties.

Depending upon the final resolution of the tax proceedings, the liability could be higher or lower than the amount recorded at March 31, 2015.

Accrued Warranty

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.

Forward Currency Contracts

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 provided certain criteria’s are met.

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. The Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to 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). 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 certain 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. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding forward currency contracts that were in place to hedge future sales. Therefore, there are currently no unrealized pre-tax gains or loss which will reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had entered into a series of forward currency exchange contracts. The contracts obligate the Company to purchase approximately CDN $5,508 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature on April 10, 2015. Under the contracts, the Company will purchase Canadian dollars at exchange rates of $0.8443 and $0.8441. The Canadian to US dollar exchange rates was $0.7895 at March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2015, the Company had forward currency contracts to sell Euros. The contracts obligate the Company to sell approximately €2,179 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature between July 2, 2015 and March 2, 2016. Under the contracts, the Company will sell Euros at exchange rates of $1.0634 and $1.4261. The Euro to US dollar exchange rate was 1.0741 at March 31, 2015.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company uses financial instruments available on the market, including derivatives, solely to minimize its cost of borrowing and hedge the risk of interest rate and exchange rate fluctuation. In January 2009, prior to the January 15, 2015 acquisition date, PM Group entered into the following contracts in order to hedge the interest rate risk related to its term loans with two financial institutions:

A contract signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 20,000 (€ 20,000 at March 31, 2015), maturing on February 3, 2017 with interest payable every January 31 and July 31 each year. PM Group pays interest at a rate of 3.48% and receives from the counterparties interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“Euribor”) for the period in question.

A contract signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 8,496 (€ 1,444 at March 31, 2015), maturing on January 29, 2016 with interest payable every January 31 and July 31 each year. PM Group pays interest at a rate of 2.99% and receives from the counterparties interest at the Euribor rate for the period in question.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had the following forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps:

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.

13. Revolving Term Credit Facilities and Debt

On January 6, 2015, the Company and Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) and Fifth Third Bank (collectively the “Banks”) entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The principal modification to the Credit Agreement resulting from the Amendment is the express authorization from the Banks for the Company to enter into the Perella Note Purchase Agreement, which is described in note 14.

On January 9, 2015, the Company together with its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries amended and restated its existing credit agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) and certain other lenders, who are participants under the credit agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides the Company with up to $71,000 of financing (“Financing”) comprised of (a) a $45,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to the U.S. Borrowers (“U.S. Revolver”), (b) a new $14,000 Secured Term Loan to the U.S. Borrowers (“Term Loan”) and (c) a $12,000 (or the Canadian dollar equivalent amount) Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to the Canadian Borrower (“Canadian Revolver”). The three aforementioned credit facilities each mature on August 19, 2018.

Prior to the credit restatement, the Company had US and Canadian revolving credit facilities of $40,000 and $9,000, respectively.

The Company is also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement including maintaining (1) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, (2) a Maximum Senior Secured First Lien North American Debt to Consolidated North American EBITDA Ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.00, with a step down to 3.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2015, and a further step down to 2.75 to 1.00 at June 30, 2016, and (3) a Maximum Consolidated North American Total Debt to Consolidated North American EBITDA Ratio of not more than 5.25 to 1.00, with a step down to 4.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2015, and a further step down to 3.75 to 1.00 at June 30, 2016.

The indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for the assets of the ASV and the Company’s equity interest in ASV. The facility contains customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on acquisitions, dividends, repurchase of the Company’s stock and capital expenditures.

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 1.75% and 3.0% and for LIBOR the spread is between 2.75% and 4.0% in each case with the spread being based on the Consolidated North American Total Debt to Consolidated North American EBITDA ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for the preceding twelve months.

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 a bank. Load King pledged its equipment to the bank to secure additional term debt (“Equipment Note”). The funds received in connection with the above borrowing were used to repay a promissory note to Terex Corporation (“Terex”), which was issued in connection with the Load King acquisition. The BED Mortgage, the bank mortgage and the Equipment Note, which are all guaranteed by the Company, have outstanding balances as of March 31, 2015 of $748, $776 and $231, 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.

Columbia notes

In connection with Columbia acquisition the Company issued two notes. At date of issuance, the notes had face amounts of $450 (“Inventory Note”) and $390 (“Equipment Note”), respectively and both are non-interest bearing. The Inventory Note matures on August 31, 2016 and requires the Company to make 18 monthly installment payments of $25. The Equipment Note matures on May 31, 2016 and requires the Company to make 14 monthly installment payments of $25 and a final payment of $40 on May 31, 2016.

On March 12, 2015, the date of issuance, the fair value of Inventory Note and the Equipment Note was determined to be $436 and $378. The fair value of the notes 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 4.0% 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 between face amount of the promissory note and its fair value is being amortized over the life of the note and recorded as interest expense.

At March 31, 2015, the Inventory Note and the Equipment Note had a balance of $411 and $353, 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 sale 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, 2015
New equipment	$	1,166		60	$	22	$	918
Used equipment	$	1,754		36	$	53	$	452
Total	$	2,920			$	75	$	1,370

The Company has three additional capital leases. As of March 31, 2015, the capitalized lease obligation in aggregate related to the three leases was $67.

Stock Issuance

Shares issued to Terex Corporation

On December 19, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 1,108,156 shares of Company’s common stock and received $12,500 of cash.

Shares issued to PM Group

On January 15, 2015, the Company’s acquisition of PM Group closed. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for PM Group was $30,436 which reflects exchange rates in effect at the closing. The consideration consisted of $20,312 of cash, and 994,483 shares of Company common stock valued at $10,124.

Stock issued to Directors and employees

On March 4, 2015, 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 6,800, 6,600 and 6,600 vest on March 4, 2015, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The result of the issuance was valued at $77.

On March 13, 2015, the Company granted 22,868 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’ 2014 bonus award that was paid in restricted stock units. The result of the issuance was valued at $212.

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 Company awarded under the Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan a total of 103,111 restricted stock units to employees and directors on January 1, 2015. The restricted stock units are subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock awards except the restricted stock units will not have voting rights and the common stock will not be issued until the vesting criteria are satisfied.

The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units:

	March 31, 2015
Outstanding on January 1, 2015		85,384
Units granted during the period		145,979
Vested and issued		(29,668	)
Forfeited		—
Outstanding on March 31, 2015		201,695

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 $362 and $284 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $929, $872 and $437 for the remainder of 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a one year period subsequent to the date of the financial statements. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for all entities for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-03 should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the effects of adoption. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

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

Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies

15. 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. ASV product liability cases that existed on date of acquisition have a $4,000 self-retention limit.

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. A provisional reserve has been established for the above mentioned liability case. The Company is, however, waiting to receive additional information required to access the value of the liability as of the date ASV was acquired. Based on a review of the additional information, the provisional reserve may be adjusted with an offsetting adjustment to goodwill. The adjustment will be made as of the date of the acquisition. At this time, the Company cannot assess what the magnitude of future possible adjustment will be and, therefore, cannot conclude that it will not be material.

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.

Beginning on December 31, 2011, the Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has a per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,150, $1,325 and $1,875 for 2013, 2014 and 2015 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, 2015, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs $1,615 without interest in 17 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 each year. The Company has recorded a liability for the net present value of the liability. The difference between the net present value and the total payment will be charged to interest expense over payment period.

It is reasonably possible that the “Estimated Reserve for Product Liability Claims” may change within the next 12 months. A change in estimate could occur if a case is settled for more or less than anticipated, or if additional information becomes known to the Company.

The following tables set forth the company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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 and nonrecurring basis:

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.

Convertible Notes

Convertible Notes

Note 14. Convertible Notes

Related Party

On December 19, 2014, the Company issued a subordinated convertible debenture with a $7,500 face amount payable to Terex, a related party. The convertible debenture, is subordinated, carries a 5% per annum coupon, and is convertible into Company common stock at a conversion price of $13.65 per share or a total of 549,451 shares, subject to customary adjustment provisions. The debenture has a December 19, 2020 maturity date.

From and after the third anniversary of the original issuance date, the Company may redeem the convertible debenture in full (but not in part) at any time that the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals at least 130% of the Conversion Price (as defined in the debenture) for at least 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days. Following an election by the holder to convert the debenture into common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the debenture, the Company has the discretion to deliver to the holder either (i) shares of common stock, (ii) a cash payment, or (iii) a combination of cash and stock.

In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

On December 19, 2014, the components of the note was as follows:

Liability component	$	6,607
Equity component (a component of paid in capital)		893
	$	7,500

Additionally in connection with the transaction a $321 deferred tax liability was established and was recorded as a deduction to paid in capital. The deferred tax liability was recognized as the excess of the principal amount being amortized and charged to interest expenses that is not tax deductible.

As of March 31, 2015, the note had a remaining principal balance of $6,641 and an unamortized discount of $859. The difference between this amount and the amount initially recorded represents $34 of amortization of excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount.

Perella Notes

On January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Perella Note Purchase Agreement”) with MI Convert Holdings LLC (which is owned by investment funds constituting part of the Perella Weinberg Partners Asset Based Value Strategy) and Invemed Associates LLC (together, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $15,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due 2021 (the “Perella Notes”) to the Investors. The Notes are subordinated, carry a 6.50% per annum coupon, and are convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of Company common stock, based on an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental corporate changes, the Perella Notes are redeemable at the option of the holders of the Perella Notes. The Perella Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date, and the payment of principal is subject to acceleration upon an event of default. The issuance of the Perella Notes by the Company was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In connection with the issuance of the Perella Notes, on January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Perella Notes. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on February 23, 2015.

In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

On January 7, 2015, the components of the note was as follows:

Liability component	$	14,286
Equity component (a component of paid in capital)		714
	$	15,000

Additionally in connection with the transaction a $257 deferred tax liability was established and was recorded as a deduction to paid in capital. The deferred tax liability was recognized as the excess of the principal amount being amortized and charged to interest expenses is not tax deductible.

As of March 31, 2015, the note had remaining principal balance of $14,310 and an unamortized discount of $690. The difference between this amount and the amount initially recorded represents $24 of amortization of excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount.
