Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this Quarter Report includes forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These statements relate to, among other things, the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, future strategies, future events or future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition, when included in this Quarterly Report or in documents incorporated herein by reference the words “may,” “expects,” “should,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates” and the negatives thereof and analogous or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and projections about future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, without limitation, those described below and in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors”:

•	a future substantial deterioration in economic conditions, especially in the United States and Europe;

•	government spending, fluctuations in the construction industry, and capital expenditures in the oil and gas industry;

•	our level of indebtedness and our ability to meet financial covenants required by our debt agreements;

•	our ability to negotiate extensions of our credit agreements and to obtain additional debt or equity financing when needed;

•	the cyclical nature of the markets we operate in;

•	the impact that the restatement of our previously issued financial statements could have on our business reputation and relations with our customers and suppliers;

•	increase in interest rates;

•	our increasingly international operations expose us to additional risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally;

•	our customers’ diminished liquidity and credit availability;

•	the performance of our competitors;

•	shortages in supplies and raw materials or the increase in costs of materials;

•	potential losses under residual value guarantees;

•	product liability claims, intellectual property claims, and other liabilities;

•	the volatility of our stock price;

•	future sales of our common stock;

•	the willingness of our stockholders and directors to approve mergers, acquisitions, and other business transactions;

•	currency transaction (foreign exchange) risks and the risk related to forward currency contracts;

•	compliance with changing laws and regulations;

•	a substantial portion of our revenues are attributed to limited number of customers which may decrease or cease purchasing any time;

•	impairment in the carrying value of goodwill could negatively affect our operating results;

•	difficulties in implementing new systems, integrating acquired businesses, managing anticipated growth, and responding to technological change;

•	a disruption or breach in our information technology systems;

•	certain provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the Company’s Preferred Stock Purchase Rights may discourage or prevent a change in control of the Company;

•	Potential negative effects related to the SEC inquiry into our Company;

•	Potential risk of being delisted if we are unable to file our Annual Reports and Quarterly Reports in a timely manner; and

•	other factors.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to update this forward-looking information, except as required under applicable law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018 and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods. Interim results may not be indicative of results to be realized for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. All references in this report to financial results of periods ending prior to the first quarter of 2018 reflect such results as restated pursuant to the previously announced restatement of such periods.

The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions and operates as a single business segment. Operating activities are conducted through the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Manitex, Inc. (“Manitex”), Badger Equipment Company (“Badger”), PM Group S.p.A. and Subsidiaries (“PM Group”), Manitex Valla S.r.l. (“Valla”), Sabre Manufacturing, LLC (“Sabre”), Crane and Machinery, Inc. (“C&M”), and Crane and Machinery Leasing, Inc. (“C&M Leasing”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Manitex International, Inc. and subsidiaries in which it has a greater than 50% voting interest (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entity

Even though it never had an ownership interest in SVW Crane & Equipment Company (together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Rental Consulting Service Company, “SVW”), the Company previously had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact SVW’s economic performance. Additionally, the Company was the primary beneficiary of its relationship with SVW. SVW obtained third party financing, which was effectively guaranteed by the Company, on specific cranes the Company manufactured and remitted the loan proceeds to the Company. Other than its business transactions described herein, SVW had no other substantial business operations. The Company determined that SVW was a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) that under current accounting guidance needed to consolidate in the Company’s financial results. By December 31, 2017, SVW ceased operations and is not a consolidated VIE after December 31, 2017.

Non-Cash Transactions

Non-cash transactions for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017
Proportional share of increase in equity investments' paid in capital	$	14	$	—
Share based compensation paid in connection with Tadano transaction	$	200	$	—
Equipment held for sale financed on a capital lease	$	—	$	896

Discontinued Operations

ASV Segment

ASV is located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota and manufactures a line of high quality compact track and skid steer loaders. The products are used in site clearing, general construction, forestry, golf course maintenance and landscaping industries, with general construction being the largest.

Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company owned a 51% interest in ASV Holdings, Inc., which was formerly known as A.S.V., LLC (“ASV”). On May 11, 2017, in anticipation of an initial public offering, ASV conve rted from an LLC to a C-Corporation and the Company’s 51% interest was converted to 4,080,000 common shares of ASV. On May 17, 2017, in connection with i ts initial public offering, ASV sold 1,800,000 of its own shares and the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of ASV common stock and reduced its investment in ASV to 21.2% interest. ASV was deconsolidated during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and was recorded as an equity investment starting with the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Periods ending before Ju ne 30, 2017 reflect ASV as a discontinued operation. In February 2018, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 shares of ASV that it held which reduced the Company’s investment in ASV to approximately 11.0%. The Company ceased accounting for its investme nt in ASV under the equity method and now accounts for its investment as a marketable equity security. See Notes 8 and 18 for additional discussion related to the accounting treatment of the investment in ASV after the sale of the additional shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates all entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest. Additionally, there are situations in which consolidation is required even though the usual condition of consolidation (ownership of a majority voting interest) does not apply. Generally, this occurs when an entity holds an interest in another business enterprise that was achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests, which results in a disproportionate relationship between such entity's voting interests in, and its exposure to the economic risks and potential rewards of, the other business enterprise. This disproportionate relationship results in what is known as a variable interest, and the entity in which we have this interest is referred to as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Although the Company has never had an ownership interest in S.V.W. Crane & Equipment Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Rental Consulting Services Corporation (collectively “SVW”), the Company previously had the power to direct the activities of SVW that most significantly impacted its economic performance and absorbed the losses. As such, the Company determined that SVW was a VIE that required consolidation. SVW obtained financing and remitted the proceeds to the Company using inventory (cranes) owned by the Company as collateral. The finance companies that hold the loans have a perfected security interest in the inventory and therefore have recourse against this specific inventory. Furthermore, the debt taken on by SVW was effectively guaranteed by the Company pursuant to certain related agreements. By December 31, 2017, SVW ceased operations and is not a consolidated VIE after December 31, 2017.

The Company eliminates from the Company’s financial results all significant intercompany transactions, including the intercompany transactions with consolidated VIEs.

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 $47 and $82 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Guarantees

The Company has issued partial residual guarantees to financial institutions related to a customer financing of equipment purchased by the customer. The Company must assess the probability of losses if the fair market value is less than the guaranteed residual value.

The Company has issued partially residual guarantees that have maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company, however, does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such, no liability has been recorded. The Company’s ability to recover any losses incurred under the guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.

The Company records a liability for the estimated fair value of guarantees issued pursuant to ASC 460. The Company recognizes a loss under a guarantee when its obligation to make payment under the guarantee is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. A loss would be recognized if the Company’s payment obligation under the guarantee exceeds the value it can expect to recover to offset such payment, primarily through the sale of the equipment underlying the guarantee.

Inventory, net

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

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). The Company’s interest rate swap contracts are held by the PM Group and are intended to manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to certain term loans that PM Group has with certain financial institutions in Italy. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10.

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 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 consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment, which is the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiaries.

Accounting for Equity Investments

Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company accounted for its 21.2% investment in ASV under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of ASV is recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations and added to the investment account, and dividends received from ASV are treated as a reduction of the investment account. ASV’s earnings are recorded on a one quarter lag as ASV may not report earnings in time to be included in the Company’s financial statements for any given reporting period.

On M ay 17, 2017 (the date ASV became an equity investment), the Company’s investment in ASV Holdings exceeded the proportional share of ASV Holdings’ net assets. Under current applicable guidance, assets and liabilities of the investee (ASV Holdings) are value d at fair market value on the date of the investment. The Company investment, however, is not adjusted for the difference between the Company’s proportional share of the net assets and the fair value of the assets that existed on the date that the invest ment was made. The differences are accounted for on a memo basis. The differences can be either of temporary nature or permanent differences. Adjustment to inventory and identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are temporary differences. Fair market adjustments to land and goodwill are examples of permanent differences. Differences related to temporary items are amortized over their lives. Earnings recognized are the proportional share of investee’s income for the period adjusted for reversal of any timing differences or additional amortization related to the memo fair market adjustments of identifiable intangible assets that have finite lives.

Between February 26 and 28, 2018, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock reducing the Company’s investment to approximately 11.0%. See Notes 8 and 18. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company:

•

Recognized its proportional share of ASV loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017,

•

Recorded a loss on the sale of shares,

•

Ceased accounting for ASV as an equity investment, and

•

Valued its remaining investment in ASV at its current market value.

Accounting for Marketable Equity Securities

Marketable equity securities are valued at fair market value based on the closing price of the stock on the date of the balance sheet. Gains and loss related fair value adjustments related to marketable equity securities are recorded into income each reporting period.

Shipping and Handling

The Company records the amount of shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment costs and are in included in cost of sales.

Recently Issued Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is early in the process of evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements. The Company disclosed in its 2017 10-K that the Company had future operating lease commitments of approximately $5,000. This is an indication of the potential magnitude that adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequently, the FASB issued the following standards related to ASU 2016-02: ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842,” (“ASU 2018-01”), ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”) and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-01 permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient under Topic 842 related to existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. ASU 2018-10 clarifies certain guidance within ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 is intended to reduce costs and ease implementation of ASU 2016-02. The Company will evaluate the impact and adopt ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 in conjunction with its adoption of ASU 2016-02.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted in 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehen sive Income,” (“ASU 2018-2”). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from H.R. 1 “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the con current resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018” ( commonl y known as “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”). The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its c onsolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results when adopted.

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 requires 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. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date”, which amends ASU 2014-09. As a result, the effective date is the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of the new standard has had no material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, cash flows statements or net income.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 further clarifies principal and agent relationships within ASU 2014-09. Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of the new standard has had no material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, cash flows statements or net income.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”). The amendments in ASU 2016-10 are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services in contracts with customers and to improve the operability and understandability of licensing implementation guidance related to the entity's intellectual property. Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results when adopted. The Company’s revenue recognition policy adopted as a result of the New Revenue Standards is presented in Note 3 below.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting by clarifying existing principles in ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and provides specific guidance on certain cash flow classification issues. The effective date for ASU 2016-15 is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company made an election to use the “Cumulative Earning Approach” to classify distributions received from equity investments. Other than the aforementioned election (which may have a future impact), the adoption of this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, did not have an impact on the Company’s Statement of Cash Flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory,” (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (excluding inventory) when the transfer occurs. This is a change from prior GAAP which prohibits recognition of current and deferred income taxes until the asset is sold to a third party. The effective date for ASU 2016-16 is the first quarter of fiscal year

2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results when adop ted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides guidance in ascertaining whether a collection of assets and activities is considered a business. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted.

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.

3. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our equipment, parts or installation services (typically completed within one day), which occurs at a point in time. Equipment can be redirected during the manufacturing phase such that over time revenue recognition is not appropriate. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are non-cancellable and returns are only allowed in limited instances through Crane & Machinery, Inc. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold and do not constitute a separate performance obligation.

For instances where equipment and installation services are sold together, the Company accounts for the equipment and installation services separately. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between the equipment and installation services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the equipment .

In some instances, the Company fulfills its obligations and bills the customer for the work performed but does not ship the goods until a later date. These arrangements are considered bill-and-hold transactions. In order to recognize revenue on the bill-and-hold transactions, the Company ensures the customer has requested the arrangement, the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for shipment to the customer in its current form, and the Company does not have the ability to direct the product to a different customer. A portion of the transaction price is not allocated to the custodial services due to the immaterial value assigned to that performance obligation.

Payment terms offered to customers are defined in contracts and purchase orders and do not include a significant financing component. At times, the Company may offer discounts which are considered variable consideration however, the Company applies the constraint guidance when determining the transaction price to be allocated to the performance obligations.

The Company generates revenue through its principal subsidiaries:

Manitex, Inc. (“Manitex”) markets a comprehensive line of boom trucks, truck cranes and sign cranes. Manitex’s boom trucks and crane products are primarily used for industrial projects, energy exploration and infrastructure development, including, roads, bridges and commercial construction.

Total Revenue	$	63,904	$	52,051	$	120,579	$	92,170

Contract Balances

Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Customer Deposits

At times, the Company may require an upfront deposit related to its contracts. In instances where an upfront deposit has been received by the Company and the revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met, the Company records a contract liability in the form of a customer deposit, which is classified as a short-term liability on the balance sheet. That customer deposit is revenue that is deferred until the revenue recognition criteria have been met, at which time, the customer deposit is recognized into revenue.

The following table summarizes changes in customer deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2018:

Customer deposits at January 1, 2018	$	2,242
Revenue recognized from customer deposits		(5,002	)
Additional customer deposits received where revenue has not yet been recognized		5,458
Effect of change in exchange rates		(142	)
Customer deposits at June 30, 2018	$	2,556

4. Financial Instruments—Marketable Securities, 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 basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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

	Fair Value at June 30, 2018
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Balance at June 30, 2018	$	327		$	214		$	—	$	541

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. Derivative 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 Euro, Chilean Peso and the U.S. dollar.

Forward Currency Contracts

When the Company receives a significant order in a currency other than the operating unit’s functional currency, management may evaluate different options that are available to mitigate future currency exchange risks. As of June 30, 2018, 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 losses which will reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months.

In addition, the Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on certain assets and liabilities denominated in a currency 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. PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary. At June 30, 2018, the Company had entered into forward currency exchange contracts that matures on August 23, 2018. Under the first contract the Company is obligated to sell 2,000,000 Chilean pesos for 2,675 euros and under the second contract the Company is obligated to sell 400,000 Chilean pesos for 531 euros. The Company has a third contract which obligates the Company to sell 300,000 Chilean pesos for $477. The purpose of the forward contract is to mitigate the income effect related to this intercompany receivable that results with a change in exchange rate between the Euro and the Chilean peso.

The Loan Agreement provides that the Company can opt to pay interest on the revolving credit at either a base rate plus a spread, or a LIBOR rate plus a spread. The base rate spread ranges from 0.25% to 1.00% depending on the Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The LIBOR spread ranges from 2.25% to 3.00% also depending on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

13. Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $506, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $22. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily consists of foreign income taxes and a discrete income tax provision related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of ($36).

The Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $205 and $135 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively . The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily consists of a foreign income tax provision and a discrete income tax provision related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was an income tax provision of 109.8% compared to a tax benefit of 3.0% in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, nondeductible foreign permanent differences, and domestic losses for which the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted into law. In response to the enactment of the Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. The purpose of SAB No. 118 was to address any uncertainty or diversity of view in applying ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes in the reporting period in which the Act was enacted. SAB No. 118 addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain income tax effects of the Act upon issuance of a company’s financial statements for the reporting period that includes the enactment date. SAB No.118 allows for a provisional amount to be recorded if it is a reasonable estimate of the impact of the Act. Additionally, SAB No. 118 allows for a measurement period to finalize the impacts of the Act, not to extend beyond one year from the date of enactment.

The Company’s accounting for certain elements of the Act was incomplete as of the period ended December 31, 2017, and remains incomplete as of June 30, 2018. However, the Company was able to make reasonable estimates of the effects and, therefore, recorded provisional estimates for these items at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $1,016 and $983 which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is a liability for the PM Group’s potential IRES and IRAP audit adjustments for tax year 2013 and Romania for tax years 2012-2016. Subsequent to the quarte r ended June 30, 2018, the Company closed an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination of its 2015 tax return with no change to the tax liability reported. Favorable resolution of an unrecognized tax benefit could be recognized as a reduction in the tax provision and effective tax rate in the period of resolution. Unfavorable settlement of an unrecognized tax benefit could increase the tax provision and effective tax rate and may require the use of cash in the period of resolution. The favorable resoluti on of the IRS examination did not have a significant impact on the unrecognized tax benefits .

14. Net (Loss) 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:

15. Equity

Tadano, Ltd. Investment in the Company

On May 24, 2018, the Company entered into a (a) Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and (b) Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Tadano Ltd., a Japanese company (“Tadano”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Tadano, and Tadano agreed to purchase 2,918,542 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Shares”), representing approximately 14.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (based on the number of outstanding shares as of the date of the Purchase Agreement), at a purchase price of $11.19 per share and for an aggregate purchase price of $32,658. The transaction closed on May 29, 2018 (the “Closing Date”). The Shares were issued in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Additionally, the Company executed a Registration Rights Agreement with Tadano.

The Purchase Agreement also provides for certain rights of Tadano and certain limitations on the Company, subject in each case to Tadano continuing to meet certain minimum ownership requirements. Specifically, so long as Tadano owns at least a majority of the Shares, Tadano has certain preemptive rights to purchase its pro rata share of specified equity securities (including certain derivative and convertible securities) issued by the Company after the Closing Date. Additionally, so long as Tadano owns at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, the Company is prohibited, absent Tadano’s consent, from, among other items: (i) increasing the number of directors on the Company’s board of directors to a number greater than ten; (ii) entering into certain related person or affiliated transactions, subject to certain exceptions; and (iii) authorizing or approving any plan of dissolution of the Company, any liquidating distribution of the Company’s assets or other action relating to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. The Purchase Agreement also contains certain restrictions on asset sales by the Company. In addition, so long as it owns at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, Tadano shall have the right to nominate one individual to serve on the Company’s board of directors

2004 Equity Incentive Plan

In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and subsequently amended and restated the plan on September 13, 2007, May 28, 2009, June 5, 2013 and June 2, 2016. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 1,329,364 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.

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.

Restricted Stock Awards

The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units:

	June 30, 2018
Outstanding on January 1, 2018		168,763
Units granted during the period		30,268
Vested and issued		(63,727	)
Vested-issued and repurchased for income tax withholding		(8,892	)
Forfeited		(7,563	)
Outstanding on June 30, 2018		118,849

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 $268 and $96 for the three months and $391 and $357 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $243, $222 and $39 for the remainder of 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Stock Options

On May 23, 2018, the Company issued 47,437 stock options to a consultant in connection with his services related to Tadano’s investment in the Company. The options which expire on May 23, 2028 grants the consultant an option to purchase 47,437 shares of the Company’s common stock at $11.08 per share (the closing price of the stock on the day before the Tadano Purchase Agreement was executed.) The Company determined that the fair market value of the options was $130 on date of grant. The value of options is one component of the expenses related to the Tadano transactions discussed above .

16. 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 limits that range from $50 to $500.

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 claims.

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. The Company established reserves for several PM lawsuits in conjunction with the accounting for this acquisition.

Additionally, beginning on December 31, 2011, the Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has per claim deductible of $250 and annual aggregates that range from $1,000 to $1,875 depending on the policy year. 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 does not believe that the contingencies associated with these worker compensation claims in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

On May 5, 2011, the Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs an aggregate of $1,235 without interest in 13 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 of 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.

Romania Income Tax Audit

As described in Note 13, Income Taxes, the Company increased its unrecognized tax benefits in connection with the Romanian tax audit and pending legal proceedings.

Residual Value Guarantees

The Company issues residual value guarantees to support a customer’s financing of equipment purchased from the Company. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date if certain conditions are met by the customer. The Company has issued partial residual guarantees that have maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such no liability has been recorded. The Company’s ability to recover losses experienced from its guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.

SEC Inquiry

In December of 2017, the Company received an inquiry from the SEC requesting certain information in connection with the Company’s previously announced restatement of prior financial statements and is complying with such request.

17. Transactions between the Company and Related Parties

In the course of conducting its business, the Company has entered into certain related party transactions.

C&M is a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes. As such, C&M purchases cranes and parts from Terex. Additionally, The Company has a convertible note with a face amount of $7,500 payable to Terex. See Note 12 for additional details.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company was the majority owner of ASV and, therefore, ASV is not a related party during that period. In May 2017, the Company reduced is its ownership interest in ASV to 21.4% and further reduced its ownership to approximately 11% in February 2018. As such, ASV is a related party beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company did not have any transactions with ASV during the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable and accounts payable with related parties as shown below:

		June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Accounts Receivable		$	—	$	26

Accounts Payable	Terex	$	475	$	100
	SL Industries and BGI (1)	—			1,257
		$	475	$	1,357
Net Related Party Accounts Payable		$	475	$	1,331

(1)

These companies are controlled by a former executive officer of the Company. The former officer retired effective December 31, 2016 but provided consulting services to the Company through April 30, 2017. Although the Company continues to purchase from SL Industries and BGI, these entities are not now related parties. Therefore, accounts payable to these companies are included in trade payables in 2018.

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

		Three Months Ended June 30, 2018		Three Months Ended June 30, 2017		Six Months Ended June 30, 2018		Six Months Ended June 30, 2017
Rent paid:	Bridgeview Facility (2)	$	66	$	65	$	132	$	130


Purchases from:	Terex	$	527	$	198	$	670	$	402

( 2)

The Company leases its 40,000 sq. ft. Bridgeview facility from an entity controlled by Mr. David Langevin, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company makes monthly lease payments of $22. The Company is also responsible for all the associated operations expenses, including insurance, property taxes, and repairs. The lease will expire on June 30, 2020 and has a provision for six one year extension periods. The lease contains a rental escalation clause under which annual rent is increased during the initial lease term by the lesser of the increase in the Consumer Price Increase or 2.0%. Rent for any extension period shall however, be the then-market rate for similar industrial buildings within the market area. The Company has the option, to purchase the building by giving the Landlord written notice at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the expiration of the lease or any extension period. The Landlord can require the Company to purchase the building if a Change of Control Event, as defined in the agreement occurs by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to expiration of the lease or any extension period. The purchase price regardless whether the purchase is initiated by the Company or the landlord will be the Fair Market Value as of the closing date of said sale.

Note Payable to Terex

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a convertible note payable of $7,080 (net of unamortized debt discount) to Terex. See Note 12 for additional details regarding this convertible note.

18. Discontinued Operations and Partial Disposition of the Remaining Equity Investment

Sale of Partial Interest in ASV Holdings

On May 17, 2017, the Company and ASV completed the previously announced underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 3,800,000 shares of ASV common stock, including 2,000,000 shares sold by the Company. The Company received proceeds net of

commissions of $13,020 from the Offering. Additionally, the Company had legal and other expense associated with transaction of $128. In conjunction with the sale, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $1,133 and recognize d a $23 tax benefit. The condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 reflects ASV as discontinued operations.

Following the sale of the above referenced shares, the Company had significant continuing involvement with ASV in the form of an equity investment (21.2% ownership in ASV). At the time of the above transaction, the Company’s plans were to hold the remaining shares it owned in ASV for an indefinite period.

The following is the detail of major line items that constitute income from discontinued operations:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,			For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2017
Net revenues	$	10,347		$	38,357

Partial Disposition of the Remaining Equity Investment

Over the period from February 26 to 28, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of ASV in privately-negotiated transactions with institutional purchasers. All such shares were sold for $7.00 per share. Following such sale transactions, the Company owns an aggregate of 1,080,000 shares of ASV which equates to approximately 11.0% percent of ASV. After this transaction, the investment in ASV is no longer accounted for under the equity method. The Company recognized a pretax loss of $205 (which includes the $118 of commissions paid) in connection with sale of these shares. The Company was not able to record a tax benefit for this loss.

Going forward, the Company’s remaining investment in ASV is shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a marketable equity security that will be marked to market (fair value) each reporting period. Gains and losses related to fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities are recorded into income each reporting period. The Company recognized a $186 gain during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and a loss of $1,588 during the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Opera tions

Manitex International, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Manitex, Badger, PM Group, Valla, Sabre, C&M and C&M Leasing, designs, manufactures and distributes a diverse group of products that serve different functions and are used in a variety of industries.

Manitex is located in Georgetown, Texas and markets a comprehensive line of boom trucks, truck cranes and sign cranes.

Badger is located in Winona, Minnesota and manufactures specialized rough terrain cranes and material handling products.

PM Group is a leading Italian manufacturer of truck mounted hydraulic knuckle boom cranes and a product range spanning more than 50 models. Through their consolidated subsidiaries, they have locations in Modena, Italy; Arad, Romania; Chassieu, France; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Santiago, Chile; London, UK and Mexico City, Mexico.

Valla is located in Piacenza, Italy and produces a line of industrial pick and carry cranes using electric, diesel and hybrid power options with lifting capacity that ranges from 2 to 90 tons.

Sabre, which is located in Knox, Indiana, manufactures a comprehensive line of specialized mobile tanks for liquid and solid storage and containment solutions with capacities from 8,000 to 21,000 gallons.

C&M and C&M Leasing are located in Bridgeview, Illinois. C&M is a distributor of new and used Manitex branded products as well as Terex rough terrain and truck cranes. C&M also provides repair services in Chicago and supplies repair parts for a wide variety of medium to heavy duty construction equipment. C&M Leasing rents equipment that is manufactured by the Company as well as a limited amount of equipment manufactured by third parties.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entity

Even though it has no ownership interest in SVW Crane & Equipment Company (together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Rental Consulting Service Company, “SVW”), the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact SVW’s economic performance. Additionally, the Company was the primary beneficiary of the SVW relationship. SVW obtained third party financing, which was effectively guaranteed by the Company, on specific cranes the Company manufactured and remitted the loan proceeds to the Company. Other than its business transactions described herein, SVW had no other substantial business operations. The Company determined that SVW was a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) that under current accounting guidance needed to consolidate in the Company’s financial results. SVW was consolidated into the Company’s financial results beginning in the first quarter of 2016 through the fourth quarter of 2017. By December 31, 2017, SVW ceased operations and is not a consolidated VIE after December 31, 2017.

Discontinued operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, ASV is presented in the Company’s financial statements as a discontinued operation. On May 17, 2017, the Company began accounting for its investment in ASV under the equity method as the Company sold shares of ASV that reduced its ownership percentage from 51% to 21.2%. From February 26 to 28, 2018, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock, which reduced its ownership percentage to approximately 11.0%. The Company ceased accounting for its investment in ASV under the equity method and now treats its investment as marketable equity securities.

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.

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.

Economic Conditions

During the first nine months of 2017 oil prices were in the $50 range but began to strengthen considerably during the fourth quarter of the year. Oil prices at the end of 2017 topped $61 per barrel. The sell-off of excess equipment from the energy sector continued through most of 2017 but the effects diminished throughout the year. The market for boom trucks continued to improve throughout 2017 but remained below normal levels. Orders, however, increased significantly in the fourth quarter of 2017 and going into 2018 demand for boom trucks continued to increase in 2018.

In the first half of 2018, the demand for knuckle boom cranes has been steady in all the markets that PM sells into except for some markets in Latin America where local currency turbulence with strong devaluations towards the Euro and US dollar have affected the local demand. The demand from the Middle East market has been consistent with 2017 but has remained significantly slow. During the first half of 2018, demand from Western and Northern Europe, PM’s largest markets, has remained at a good level. Although there was light growth in the other PM markets, the demand from these markets is still lower than the levels achieved in the past. PM’s markets appear to be stable or growing modestly during the first half of 2018.

The Company has operations in Argentina which has been concluded to be a highly inflationary economy as of June 30, 2018. The Company will evaluate the impact on its consolidated financial statements in Q3 2018.

The Company’s backlog has increased to $75.6 million at June 30, 2018. This is substantial increase compared to the $61.5 million and $50.3 million at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net loss from continuing operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the net loss from continuing operations of $1.0 million consisted of revenue of $63.9 million, cost of sales of $51.5 million, research and development costs of $0.7 million, SG&A expenses of $9.0 million, interest expense of $1.5 million, a loss in change in fair value of securities held of $1.6 million, a foreign currency loss of $0.1 million, other income of $0.1 million and income tax expense of $0.5 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the net loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million consisted of revenue of $52.1 million, cost of sales of $42.6 million, research and development costs of $0.6 million, SG&A expenses of $8.6 million, interest expense of $1.6 million, a foreign currency loss of $0.3 million and other income of $0.1 million.

Net revenues and gross profit —For the three months ended June 30, 2018, net revenues and gross profit were $63.9 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 19.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net revenues and gross profit were $52.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Net revenues increased $11.8 million or 22.6% to $63.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $52.1 million for the comparable period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to an increase in straight mast crane revenues. The increase is due to an improvement in market conditions addressed above under the heading “Economic Conditions”. The revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were also favorably impacted by $2.2 million in foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from a stronger Euro.

Our gross profit increased $3.0 million to $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $9.4 million for the comparable period in 2017. The increase in gross profit is attributable to an increase in revenues and a 1.4% improvement in gross profit percentage. The improvement in the gross profit percentage is primarily due to an increase in the gross margin percentage generated on the sale of straight mast cranes. Boom truck margins were favorably impacted by an increase in production volume and improved pricing. Pricing improved in 2018, largely the result of a decrease in discounts being offered during 2018.

Research and development —Research and development was $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 consistent with $0.6 million for the same period in 2017. The Company’s research and development spending reflects our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products that give the Company a competitive advantage.

Selling, general and administrative expense —Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $9.0 million compared to $8.6 million for the comparable period in 2017, an increase of $0.4 million.

The increase is primarily related to increased consulting, legal, accounting and other fees related to the financial statement restatement costs of approximately $0.6 million and other increases in selling, general and administrative expenses in the United States operations offset by decreased expenses of $0.4 million at PM. The increase in the United States is attributed to significantly higher revenues from the sales of straight mast cranes. The decrease in Italy is attributed to the Company’s restructuring activities and is net of unfavorable currency exchange impact of $0.3 million.

Operating income —For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had operating income of $2.7 million compared to $0.2 million for the comparable period in 2017. Operating income increased due to changes in revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses explained above.

Interest expense —Interest expense was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $1.6 million for the comparable period in 2017.

Foreign currency transaction losses —For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had foreign currency losses of $0.1 million compared to $0.3 million for the comparable period in 2017. As previously stated, the Company attempts to purchase forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the reporting units’ functional currency will be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. A substantial portion of the losses relate to changes in the Argentinian peso. The Company has not been able to identify a strategy to effectively hedge the currency risks related to the Argentinian peso.

Other income — For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had income of $0.03 million compared to other income of $0.1 million for the comparable period in 2017.

Income tax — For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $0.5 million and $(0.04) million, respectively. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily consists of a foreign income tax provision and a discrete income tax provision related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was an income tax provision of 109.8% compared to a tax benefit of 2.4% in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, nondeductible foreign permanent differences, and domestic losses for which the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit.

Change in fair value of securities held — - For the three months ended June 30, 2018 the Company had losses of $1.6 million. Losses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were due to a change in the fair value of securities held in ASV Holdings (see Notes 2 and 8 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Net loss from continuing operations —For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had a net loss of $1.0 million compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, respectively. The change is explained above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net loss from continuing operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had net losses of $2.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 the net loss of $2.5 million consisted of revenue of $120.6 million, cost of sales of $97.0 million, research and development costs of $1.4 million, SG&A expenses of $19.0 million, interest expense of $3.1 million, loss of $1.4 million from change in fair value of securities held, foreign currency transaction loss of $0.2 million, other income of $0.3 million, equity investment loss of $0.4 million and income tax expense of $0.2 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 the net loss of $4.9 million consisted of revenue of $92.2 million, cost of sales of $75.4 million, research and development costs of $1.3 million, SG&A expenses of $17.5 million, interest expense of $2.8 million, foreign currency transaction loss of $0.3 million, other income of $0.3 million, equity investment loss of $0.4 million and income tax expense of $0.1 million.

Net revenues and gross profit —For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net revenues and gross profit were $120.6 million and $23.5 million , respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 19.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net revenues and gross profit were $92.2 million and $16.8 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of r evenues was 18.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Net revenues increased $28.4 million or 30.8% to $120.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $92.2 million for the comparable period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to an increase in straight mast cranes revenues. The Company also had increases from all other business units for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is due to an improvement in market conditions addressed above under the heading “Economic Conditions”. The revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were also favorably impacted by $5.6 million in foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from a stronger Euro.

Our gross profit increased $6.7 million to $23.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $16.8 million for the comparable period in 2017. The increase in gross profit is attributable to an increase in revenues and a 1.3% improvement in gross profit percentage. The improvement in the gross profit percent is primarily due to an increase in the gross margin percentage generated on the sale of straight mast cranes. Boom truck margins were favorably impacted by an increase in production volume and improved pricing. Pricing improved in 2018, largely the result of a decrease in discounts being offered during 2018.

Research and development —Research and development was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2017. Research and development expenditures were relatively consistent with the prior period. The Company’s research and development spending continues to reflect our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products that give the Company a competitive advantage.

Selling, general and administrative expense —Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $19.0 million compared to $17.5 million for the comparable period in 2017, an increase of $1.5 million. Approximately $1.0 million of the increase is attributed to a stronger Euro and consulting, legal, accounting and other fees related to financial statement restatement costs of approximately $1.8 million. Other selling, general expenses decreased $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. A non-recurring 2017 expense related to the ConExpo trade show (the show is held every three years and was held in March 2017) accounts for $0.5 million of the decrease. The remaining $0.8 million is attributed to other decreases of which $0.3 million is related to decreased PM expenses (excluding the currency exchange impact). The decrease in PM expenses are attribute to restructuring activities.

Operating income (loss) —For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had operating income of $3.2 million compared to a loss of $2.0 million for the comparable period in 2017. Operating income increased due to changes in revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses explained above.

Interest expense —Interest expense was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $2.8 million for the comparable period in 2017. In 2017, interest expense was reduced by a $0.4 million gain on interest rate swaps that the Company held.

Foreign currency transaction losses —For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had a foreign currency loss of $0.2 million compared to a $0.3 million loss for the comparable period in 2017.

A substantial portion of the losses relate to changes in the Argentinian peso. The Company has not been able to identify a strategy to effectively hedge the currency risks related to the Argentinian peso.

Income tax — For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Other income — For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had other loss of $0.3 million compared to $0.3 million in other incom e for the comparable period in 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, t he Company had other loss as the fair market value of a contingent liability associated with the PM acquisition was increased based on a revaluation that used updated information .

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, other income is the result of revaluing a contingent acquisition liability related to an option to acquire certain PM bank debt.

Change in fair value of securities held — - For the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company had losses of $1.4 million. Losses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were due to a change in the fair value of securities held in ASV Holdings (see Notes 2 and 8 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $20.9 million at June 30, 2018 compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company has a U.S. revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 20, 2019. At June 30, 2018 the Company had approximately $24.4 million available to borrow under its revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company has a marketable equity investment in ASV common stock with a market value at June 30, 2018 of $6.3 million. The Company’s shares of ASV are covered by an effective resale registration statement and there are no restrictions that would prevent the Company from selling the ASV stock it holds.

At June 30, 2018, the PM Group had established working capital facilities with six Italian and eight South American banks. Under these facilities, the PM Group can borrow $29.3 million against orders, invoices and letters of credit. At June 30, 2018, the PM Group had received advances of $21.9 million. Future advances are dependent on having available collateral.

Significant Transactions Affecting Company Liquidity

During 2018, the Company entered into two transactions that had a significant beneficial impact on the Company’s liquidity. During February 2018, the Company sold 1.0 million shares of ASV common stock it held for $7.0 million and on May 29, 2018 Tadano purchased approximately 2.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which generated cash of approximately $32.0 million, net of expenses. A portion of the proceeds raised in these two transactions were used to support an increase in working capital, the result of increased revenues. The remaining proceeds are the principal reason cash has increased by $15.6 million and debt has decreased by $17.6 million since year end.

Change in Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, total debt decreased by $17.6 million to $78.3 million at June 30, 2018, from $95.9 million at December 31, 2017.

The following is a summary of the net decrease in our indebtedness from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018:

Facility	Increase/ (decrease)
U.S. Revolver	$	(12.9	)	million
Note payable—bank (insurance premiums)		(0.5	)	million

The amounts on the above table are calculated by determining the differences between the U.S. dollar amounts or in case of foreign debt the difference in U.S, amount of local currency debt for June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 converted at the exchange rate as of the two respective balance sheet dates. The net change on the above tables agrees to the change in debt that appears on the face of the Company’s balance sheet.

The total change on the above tables differs significantly from the amounts that appear in the financing section of the Company’s Statement of Cash Flow. This occurs as the changes for Cash Flow statements are calculated in local currency and then converted to dollars at an average exchange rate. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is, therefore, isolated and are included in separate line on the cash flow statement.

Outstanding borrowings

The following is a summary of our outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2018:

Future availability under credit facilities

As stated above, the Company had cash of $20.9 million and approximately $24.4 million available to borrow under its credit facility at June 30, 2018. The Company also has marketable equity securities with market value of $6.3 million that have no restriction that would prevent their sale.

PM Group has 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 under the Company’s credit facilities. Additional funds can be advanced to the Italian operations provided that the funds come from the sales of the marketable equity security referenced above.

The Company needs cash to fund normal working capital needs and to make scheduled debt payments as shown in the above table. The U.S. 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.

Under the collateral formulas in the credit facilities accounts receivable collateral is equal to a stated percent of eligible accounts receivable (generally 85%), while inventory collateral is equal to a stated percent of eligible inventory (generally 5 0%) and caps total borrowing against our inventory. If our revenues were to increase significantly in the future, the provision limiting borrowing against accounts receivable and inventory may result in additional cash constraints. If this were to occur, we would attempt to negotiate higher inventory caps with our banks. There is, however, no assurance that the banks would agree to increase the caps.

The Company expects cash flows from operations and existing availability under the current revolving credit facilities 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. There is, however, no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.

We will likely need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to fund any future acquisitions. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.

2018

Operating activities consumed $5.6 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2018 comprised of net loss of $2.5 million that consumed cash, non-cash items that totaled $5.9 million and changes in assets and liabilities of $9.0 million that consumed cash. The principal non-cash items that generated cash are depreciation and amortization of $2.6 million, an FMV adjustment resulting in a loss of $1.4 million related to securities held, a revaluation of contingent liability of $0.3 million, a change in deferred taxes of $0.3 million, losses related to the ASV equity investment of $0.2 million, amortization of debt discounts of $0.2 million, amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million, share based compensation of $0.4 million, and an increase in inventory reserves of $0.2 million. The $1.4 million FMV adjustment is the result of revaluing the 1.1 million common shares of ASV that the Company owns. The June 30, 2018 revaluation reflects a closing stock per share price for ASV common stock of $5.79 versus a book value of $7.09 per share. ASV’s share price has since rebounded and closed at $7.16 on July 25, 2018.

The change in assets and liabilities consumed $9.0 million. The changes in assets and liabilities had the following impact on cash flows: accounts receivable consumed $2.7 million, inventory consumed $15.7 million, prepaid expenses consumed $0.4 million, accounts payable generated $10.8 million, accrued expenses consumed $0.1 million, other current liabilities consumed $0.4 million, and other long-term liabilities consumed $0.7 million. The increases in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable are due to higher sales experienced during the first half 2018 and expected future sales growth. The fluctuation in the remaining assets and liabilities are within a range that would normally be expected to occur.

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 generated $6.5 million of cash. The Company received $7.0 million in proceeds from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock offset by capital expenditures of $0.4 million.

Financing activities generated $15.2 million in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Tadano’s investment in the Company generated $32.0 million offset by a decrease in the Company’s revolving credit facility of $12.9 million, working capital borrowings of $2.7 million and other financing activities that consumed $1.2 million.

2017

Operating activities consumed $2.8 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2017 comprised of net loss of $5.5 million, non-cash items that totaled $3.8 million and changes in assets and liabilities related to continuing operations consumed $4.8 million. Additionally, discontinued operations generated $3.7 million of cash in the quarter. The principal non-cash items that generated cash are depreciation and amortization of $2.7 million, share based compensation of $0.4 million, amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million, amortization of debt discounts of $0.3 million, and loss on disposal of assets of $0.2 million offset by decrease in inventory reserves of $0.2 million, a change in deferred income taxes of $0.2 million, the gains on revaluation of a contingent acquisition liability of $0.3 million and a gain on interest rate swaps of $0.4 million.

The change in assets and liabilities related to continuing operations consumed $4.8 million. The changes in assets and liabilities had the following impact on cash flows: accounts receivable consumed $10.3 million, inventory generated $1.4 million, accounts payable generated $4.5 million, accrued expenses consumed $0.3 million, other current liabilities generated $0.2 million, and other long-term liabilities consumed $0.3 million. The increase in accounts receivable and accounts payable are the result of an increase in sales as compared to the first quarter of 2017 and expected revenue growth, respectively. The decrease in inventory is principally attributed to the sale of SVW inventory to third parties. The fluctuation in the remaining assets and liabilities are within a range that would normally be expected to occur.

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 generated $1 2.3 million of cash. The Company received $12.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of a portion of its interest in ASV Holdings. The Company used $0.5 million of cash to purchase machinery and equipment.

Financing activities consumed $11.1 million in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Cash was generated from increases in borrowing under PM’s working capital facilities of $3.2 million, the receipt of proceeds of $2.4 million related a stock offering and $0.8 million in new debt. The cash generated was more than offset by a decrease in borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facilities of $6.7 million, notes payments of $4.9 million, the repurchase of $0.1 million of stock from employees to satisfy employees’ tax withhold upon vesting of restricted shares and the payment of $0.7 million under capital lease obligations. Discontinued operations financing activities consumed an additional $5.1 million.

Related Party Transactions

Critical Accounting Policies

The existing guidance related to marketable equity securities first became relevant to the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. See Note 2 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which describes the Company’s policy related to marketable equity securities.

Additionally, the guidance that the FASB contained in ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” became effective for the first quarter of 2018. See Note 3 in in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which describes the Company’s policy related to revenue recognition following the adoption of ASU 2016-08.

See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 for a discussion of the Company’s other critical accounting policies.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 2, New Accounting Standards, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of recently issued accounting standards.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

CIBC has issued 2 standby letters of credit at June 30, 2018. The first standby letter of credit is $0.645 million in favor of an insurance carrier to secure obligations which may arise in connection with future deductibles payments that may be incurred under Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policies. The second standby letter of credit is $0.02 million in favor of a governmental agency to secure obligations which may arise in connection with workmen’s compensation claims.

The Company has issued residual value guarantees to support a customer’s financing. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date if certain conditions are met by the customer. The Company has issued partially residual guarantees that have a maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company, however, does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such no liability has been recorded.

See Note 16 – “Legal Proceedings and other Contingencies” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our guarantees.

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the 2017 Annual Report on 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, 2017.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Corporate Controller (principal financial officer), and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of June 30, 2018. The Company’s evaluation has identified certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Based on the evaluation of these material weaknesses, the Company has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on a number of factors, including the completion of the Audit Committee’s internal investigation, our internal review that identified revisions to our previously issued financial statements, and efforts to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below we believe the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with GAAP.

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.

Internal Control and Disclosure Considerations

As previously described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 6, 2017, in 2016 the Company sold 39 cranes for total sales revenues of approximately $15 million to a single broker customer in a series of transactions (the “Transactions”) that were each structured as a customary “bill and hold” arrangement. The revenue for the Transactions was originally recognized in 2016. Ten of these units that were sold for an aggregate value of approximately $3 million were returned during 2016 (and were subsequently sold to other customers), such that for 2016, a net of 29 cranes were sold for approximately $12 million. In addition, the Company made various payments to the broker and its wholly-owned subsidiary that were expensed in 2016 and 2017. Furthermore, the debt taken on by the broker customer to purchase the cranes was effectively guaranteed by the Company pursuant to certain related agreements. In connection with its review of its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company became aware that the prior accounting treatment for the Transactions was not correct. Specifically, the Company has concluded that the relationship with the Broker and its wholly-owned subsidiary qualified as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) and should therefore have resulted in a different accounting treatment resulting in the debt of the VIE being reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has concluded that the revenue recognition criteria for 2016 sales were not met and payments to the Broker were not expenses of the Company. In addition, disclosures were incomplete.

In connection with the foregoing matters, on November 2, 2017, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s management and UHY LLP, the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm, determined that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2016, year ended December 31, 2016 and quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods and together with all three, six and nine-month financial information contained therein (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”) could no longer be relied upon.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Controller have determined that there were deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that constitute material weaknesses, as defined by SEC regulations, at June 30, 2018, with respect to procedures for:

1. We did not maintain an adequate process for the intake of new contracts, customers and vendors, particularly for contracts involving unique transaction structures or unusual obligations on the part of the Company, to ensure that all contracts are appropriately reviewed and approved, and the associated financial reporting requirements associated with such contracts and transactions structures are properly identified and complied with in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

2. We did not maintain adequate entity-level controls with respect to ensuring adequate supporting documentation of journal entries and proper review and approval of journal entries and disbursements that were unusual in nature and of significant amounts.

3. We did not maintain an adequate review process with respect to the accounting of bill-and-hold transactions and ensure proper revenue recognition.

4. We did not maintain a formal and consistent policy for establishing inventory reserves for excess and obsolete inventory.

5. We did not maintain an adequate communication policy with respect to compliance with the Company’s Code of Ethics and availability of the Company’s whistleblower hotline to report compliance issues

Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Controller have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by SEC regulations, were not effective at June 30, 2018.
