(6) Long-Term Debt and Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsDebt.

 

The fair value of the Company’s 8.75% Notes is determined under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on fair value measurements that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  As of March 31,June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $198.8

measured using Level 1 inputs which are described as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.  Other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and debt.  Fair values of cash and cash equivalents and receivables approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are relatively short-term in nature.  The carrying amount of debt, except for the Company’s 8.75% Notes, approximates the fair value due either to length of maturity or existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

In late April of 2011, the Company engaged legal counsel and investment advisors and initiated activities in anticipation of refinancing and extending the maturity of the $198.8 million of 8.75% Notes due in March of 2014.

PerformanceBusiness Environment and Outlook

While the six business units of J.B. Poindexter & Co., Inc. are subject to common influences, such as macroeconomic cycles, there are specific external factors that may impact each business unit’s financial performance.

Morgan.  Morgan’s sales depend on the replacement cycle for delivery trucks that are primarily used in general freight, parcel delivery and distribution applications.  While customers typically replace delivery trucks every six to seven years, timing is directly impacted by general economic conditions.  In a weaker economy, as was the case between 2008 and 2010, customers often defer the purchase of new delivery trucks or may retire old trucks without replacement.  In a stronger economy, customers may make purchases that were deferred in prior years, replacing vehicles at a more rapid rate.

Customer mix also influences sales at Morgan.  In recent years, demand from large fleet operators such as Penske and Ryder has outpaced industry rates of growth as many smaller companies turn to leasing vehicles instead of purchasing them.  As a result of its historically high market share with large fleet operators, Morgan has recently capitalized on this trend reporting a sales increase of 42% in the first six months of 2011, compared to the first six months of 2010, much of which was derived from fleet operators.

TAG.  TAG’s revenues are directly related to sales of new pickup trucks.  Pickup truck sales are cyclical and depend on general economic conditions and other factors that affect the automotive industry such as consumer preferences, fuel costs, consumer spending levels, new model introductions and interest rates.

While light duty pickup truck sales continued to improve in 2011, TAG’s unit sales were 3 percent lower than the comparable period last year. We believe this is due to a decline in general consumer confidence and a higher proportion of pickup trucks being sold to commercial customers that are less likely to install tonneaus and caps.  However, better economic conditions have increased demand for TAG’s recently upgraded commercial fleet and vocational products including marine dock boxes and hoods for commercial vehicles such as UPS step vans.  TAG’s near term growth rate is anticipated to increase as it uses its scale and national footprint to further its relationships with fleet operators, leasing companies and vehicle fleet upfitters.

Morgan Olson. Morgan Olson’s revenues are affected by factors similar to those that influence Morgan.  Additionally, the step van market is not growing and may be declining, probably as a consequence of the inferior fuel efficiency of smaller step van models. To provide an alternative for customers seeking enhanced fuel economy in smaller vehicles, Morgan Olson has entered into development arrangements with chassis manufacturers including Sprinter, Workhorse and Freightliner Custom Chassis to adapt their fuel efficient chassis in step van applications.

Morgan Olson’s revenue is also partly dependent on parts and service sales.  Its largest parts customer is the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) which continues to operate 142,000 vehicles manufactured by the predecessor of Morgan Olson.  Due to the USPS’s limited capital budget, it is expected that these vehicles will be operated, and therefore continue to generate parts and service revenue, for several more years before it replaces vehicles and that the USPS will continue to rely on the availability of Morgan Olson supplied service parts in order to maintain its fleets in operating condition.

Specialty Manufacturing’s business environment and outlook are related to those of its three business units (MIC, SVG and EFP) as follows:

MIC. MIC’s sales depend on activity in the energy services industry. Global consumption of energy, with oil as the major component, is projected to increase steadily, partly as a result of demand in China and other economically developing nations.  In addition, technical advances in drilling will likely cause more challenging oil exploration activities.  Advanced drilling methods such as horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracking, and deep-hole and deep-sea excavation require the high-precision and highly machined assemblies produced by MIC which we believe will lead to increased revenue despite the previously mentioned challenges facing the industry.

SVG.  Despite a growing population, services in the funeral industry are slowly trending away from traditional

10



burials toward cremations.  As a result there has been consolidation in the industry and its supplier base, including the funeral vehicle segment.  SVG is one of the two remaining funeral vehicle manufacturers in the United States and Canada and its improving market share has more than compensated for decreased industry demand.  To combat the decline of the funeral services industry, SVG now also utilizes its skilled workforce, design skills and reputation for quality to develop and merchandise other vehicles, including armored limousines.

SVG’s short-term demand is also impacted by the introduction of new chassis platforms. After 10 years of unchanged chassis, SVG has begun to sell vehicles fabricated on the new Lincoln MKT coach and the Cadillac executive sedan; and it will offer a completely redesigned hearse based on another Cadillac chassis scheduled to become available in 2012.

EFP.  EFP is a relatively small part of our Company and a minor participant in the packaging market.  Similar to its competitors, EFP’s sales are limited to customers within a fixed geographical distance from its three locations.  Recently, EFP began to target opportunities in the growing refrigerated shipping market for food, medical and pharmaceutical products, and away from recreational vehicle and construction customers.

Parent.  J.B. Poindexter & Co., Inc. adheres to a lean model, with the corporate parent responsible only for those functions best administered on a centralized basis.  These include strategic planning, lean leadership, financing, accounting controls and financial reporting, human resources, insurance and environmental and workplace safety compliance.

The following is a discussion of the key components of our results of operations:

Source of revenues. We derive revenues from:

·Morgan’s sales of truck bodies, parts and services;

·Truck Accessories’ sales of pickup truck caps and tonneaus and trailer door and window components;

·MIC’s sales of precision machined parts and assembly services;

·Morgan Olson’s sales of step van truck bodies, parts and services;

·SVG’s sales of funeral hearses and limousines; and

·EFP’s sales of expandable polystyrene and polypropylene foam products.

Discounts, returns and allowances.  Our gross revenues are reduced by discounts we provide to customers and returns and allowances in the ordinary course of our business.  We provide discounts as deemed necessary to generate sales volume and remain price competitive.  Discounts include payment term discounts and discretionary discounts from list price.

Cost of revenues.  Cost of revenue represents the costs directly associated with manufacturing our products and generally varies with the volume of products produced.  The components of cost of revenue are materials, labor and overhead including transportation costs.  Overhead costs are allocated to production based on labor costs and include the depreciation and amortization costs associated with the assets used in manufacturing, including rent associated with manufacturing and indirect labor and other costs.

Selling and administrative expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses are made up of the costs of selling our products and administrative costs related to information technology, accounting, finance and human resources.  Costs include personnel and related costs, including travel, equipment and facility rent expense not associated with manufacturing activities and professional services such as audit fees.  Selling and administrative expenses also include our costs at corporate headquarters to manage and provide support to our operating subsidiaries.

Other income and expense.  Income and expenses that we incur during the Quarter Ended March 31, 2011 Compared withyear that are nonrecurring in nature and not directly comparable to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)prior year are included in other income and expense or are separately identified.

Revenues. RevenuesOur consolidated revenues increased $21.3$38.0 million, or 16.0%23.4%, to $154.6$200.0 million infor the three-month periodquarter ended March 31,June 30, 2011 compared to $133.3$162.0 million infor the three-month period ofquarter ended June 30, 2010.  This increase was led by MIC with a 104%represents higher sales volume increase,of $35.9 million (22.1%) and a 43.7% increase atprice increases of $2.1 million (1.3%).  Morgan, partially offset by a decline at Morgan Olson attributableand MIC Group experienced volume increases due to timing differencescyclical demand improvements while SVG improved due to increased market share.  Revenues at TAG decreased as a result of softening demand for consumer pickup truck caps as compared to the first quarter while EFP saw a decrease in orders placed.revenue following its exit from unprofitable product lines.

 

·             Morgan’s revenues increased $19.6$27.9 million, or 43.7%40.0%, to $64.2$97.6 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2011 compared to $44.6$69.7 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase was attributable to unit sales volume in both retail and commercial segments.  The volume increase was primarily attributable to improvement in general economic conditions in the Class 3 - 7 truck market impacting demand from both commercial and consumer related-customers.

·Morgan Olson’s revenues decreased $14.8 million, or 55.2%, to $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $26.8 million in the first quarter of 2010.  The decrease was due to unit volume decreases in the timing of fleet orders of $15.4 million and two large retail orders of $12.6 million received at the end of 2009, shipped in the first quarter of 2010 and not replicated at the end of 2010.  Recent orders have increased the backlog by $23.4 million to $56.5 million at March 31, 2010.

·Truck Accessories’ revenues increased $1.6 million, or 5.2%, to $32.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $30.4 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2010. This increase represents higher sales volume of $0.5$27.6 million (1.6%(39.6%) and price increases of $1.1$0.3 million (3.6%(0.4%). The volume increase was attributable to an increase of $10.3 million in sales to fleet customers to $48.6 million, compared to $38.3 million in the prior period. Volume also grew in retail units with a sales increase of $17.3 million to $46.6 million compared to $29.3 million in the prior period. Parts and service sales remained flat at $2.3 million year over year.

·TAG’s revenues decreased $1.3 million, or 3.9%, to $32.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $33.3 million in the second quarter of last year. This decrease represents lower sales volume of $2.7 million (-8.1%) offset by price increases of $1.4 million (4.2%).  The volume change is due to a decrease in shipments of consumer caps and tonneaus of $2.1 million and decreases in window shipments of $.6 million.

·Morgan Olson’s revenues increased $1.4 million, or 6.7%, to $22.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $20.9 million for the second quarter of 2010. This increase represents higher sales volume of $1.3 million (6.2%) and price increases of $0.1 million (0.5%). The volume increase was due to improvementincreased sales to retail customers of $3.3 million partially offset by a reduction of fleet sales. The second quarter fleet sales decrease was caused by the timing of fleet customer shipments in demand2011. This timing difference is partially evidenced by our backlog increase for pickup trucks inUnited Parcel Service (“UPS”) of $19.8 million to $37.7 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $17.9 million at June 30, 2010. Sales of service parts and delivery income decreased to $3.9 million from $4.1 million due mainly to reduced shipments of parts to the United States and Canada.USPS.

 

·             Specialty Manufacturing’s revenues increased $14.7$10.0 million, or 46.1%26.1%, to $46.7$48.1 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2011 compared to $32.0$38.1 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2010. The increase was caused primarily by higher unit volume at MIC.

·MIC Group’s revenues increased $10.8 million, or 48.4%, to $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $22.4 million in the second quarter of 2010. This increase reflectswas entirely volume driven and was attributable to increased demand from oil and gas services customers for machined products and assembly services. The increase was primarily attributable to two customers, Schlumberger and Halliburton.

·SVG’s revenues increased $1.2 million, or 13.3%, to $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. The increase represents higher salesunit volume of $12.9$0.9 million (40.3%(10.3%) and price increases of $1.9$0.3 million (5.8%(3.0%). The volume increase was due to a 93% volume increase at MIC Group attributable to increased demand for oilmarket share from two new customers that are the United States’ and gasCanada’s largest funeral services related machined products partially offset byconsolidators.

·EFP’s revenues decreased $2.0 million, or 29.3%, to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. This decrease reflects lower unit volume decreases at SVGshipments following the Company’s decision to exit certain unprofitable product lines principally within the recreational vehicle and EFP.  The volume decrease at SVG related exclusively to its withdrawal from its unprofitable specialty bus business.construction markets.

Revenues.  Consolidated revenues increased $59.3 million, or 20.1%, to $354.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $295.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This increase represents higher sales volume of $55.7 million (18.9%) and price increases of $3.6 million (0.3%).  Morgan and MIC Group experienced significant volume increases due to cyclical demand improvements while revenues at TAG, SVG and EFP remained relatively flat.  Morgan Olson experienced a decline in revenues due to the timing of fleet shipments in 2011 compared to 2010.

·Morgan’s revenues increased $47.4 million, or 41.5%, to $161.7 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $114.3 million in the first six months of 2010. This increase resulted from higher unit sales volume of $47.0 million (41.1%) and price increases of $0.4 million (0.4%). The volume increase was attributable to an increase of $ 23.1 million in sales to fleet customers to $77.5 million, compared to $54.4 million in the prior period. Volume also grew in retail units with a sales increase of $23.8 million to $79.3 million compared to $55.5 million in the prior period. Parts and service sales remained flat at $4.5 million year over year.

·TAG’s revenues increased $0.6 million, or 0.9%, to $63.8 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $63.2 million in the first six months of 2010. This increase represents lower sales volume of $1.9 million (3.1%) offset by price increases of $2.5 million (4.0%).  The volume change was due to a decrease in shipment of consumer caps and tonneaus of $1.6 million and a decrease in window shipments of $0.8 million, partially offset by increases in shipments of national fleet products.

·Morgan Olson’s revenues decreased $13.5 million, or 28.3%, to $34.2 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $47.7 million for the first six months of 2010. This decrease resulted from lower unit sales volume of $13.6 million (28.5%) and price increases of $0.1 million (0.2%). The volume decrease was caused by the timing of fleet customer shipments in 2011 and two large retail fleet orders totaling $14.8 million produced in early 2010.  This timing difference is partially demonstrated by the UPS backlog increase of $19.8 million to $33.7 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $17.9 million at June 30, 2010. Sales of service parts and vehicle delivery income increased to $8.3 million in 2011 compared to $7.8 million in 2010.

·Specialty Manufacturing’s revenues increased $24.7 million, or 35.2%, to $94.8 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $70.1 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase was caused primarily by higher unit sales volume at MIC.

·MIC Group’s revenues increased $27.3 million, or 71.5%, to $65.5 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $38.2 million in the first six months of 2010. This increase was entirely volume driven and was primarily the result of increased demand from oil and gas services customers for machined products and assembly services.  The increase was primarily attributable to two customers, Schlumberger and Halliburton.

·Specialty Vehicle Group’s revenues increased $1.0 million, or 5.2%, to $19.3 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $18.3 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase consisted of volume, price and mix improvements on funeral vehicles of $0.9 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.  Unit volume increases in funeral vehicles were attributable to increased market share with two new customers that are the United States’ and Canada’s largest funeral services consolidators.

·EFP’s revenues decreased $3.5 million, or 26.0%, to $10.1 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $13.6 million in the first six months of 2010. This decrease was the result of lower unit

sales volumes attributable to the Company’s decision to exit certain unprofitable product lines primarily within the RV and construction market segments.

Gross profit and cost of sales.  Gross profit of $48.1 million in the first six months of 2011 increased $7.2 million, or 17.6%, compared to $40.9 million in the first six months of 2010. Gross margin in the first six months of 2011 was 13.6% compared to 13.8% in the first six months of 2010. The dollar increase in gross profit is attributable to the increase in revenues. The decrease in gross margin as a percent of revenues was due to increases at Morgan, SVG and EFP offset by decreases at TAG and Morgan Olson. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues increased from 86.2% in the first six months of 2010 to 86.4% in the first six months of 2011. Materials costs were 53.1% of revenues compared to 51.3% in the previous year, labor costs were 11% of revenues compared to 12% in the previous year, and overhead costs were 22.4% of revenues compared to 22.2% in the previous year.

·Morgan achieved gross profit and gross margin of $21.0 million and 13.0%, respectively, in the first six months of 2011, compared to $14.2 million and 12.4% respectively, in the first six months of 2010. The increase in gross profit margin is attributable to improvements in labor efficiency and increased absorption of overhead on increased sales partially offset by increases in material costs and inbound freight.

·TAG generated gross profit and gross margin of $11.4 million and 17.9%, respectively, in the first six months of 2011, compared to $13.3 million and 21.0%, respectively, in the first six months of 2010.  The decrease in gross profit margin was due to expenses associated with a lean plant improvement project at TAG’s Midwest plant, start-up costs associated with new product introductions and freight-out cost increases partially offset by price increases.

·Morgan Olson’s gross profit and gross margin were $2.5 million and 7.3%, respectively, in the first six months of 2011, compared to $5.2 million and 10.8%, respectively, in the first six months of 2010. The decrease in gross margin is attributable to reduced absorption of overhead costs on lower revenue, headcount additions in R&D, lean manufacturing expenses and engineering, and startup costs associated with the ramp up of volume to process the sizable backlog at June 30, 2011.

·Specialty Manufacturing generated gross profit and gross margin of $13.2 million and 13.9%, respectively, in the first six months of 2011, compared to $8.3 million and 11.9%, respectively, in the first six months of 2010.

·MIC Group’s gross profit and gross margin were $8.4 million and 12.7%, respectively, in the first six months of 2011, compared to $4.9 million and 12.7%, respectively, in the first six months of 2010. Despite the increase in gross profit, the relatively flat gross margin resulted from an increase in labor efficiency, price increases and increased absorption of overhead costs on increased unit sales volume, offset primarily by losses incurred in fulfilling unprofitable or low margin contracts.

·SVG had gross profit and gross margin of $3.0 million and 15.6%, respectively, in the first six months of 2011, compared to $1.1 million and 6.2%, respectively, in the first six months of 2010.  The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to reduced overhead associated with the closure of the Fort Smith, Arkansas plant.

·EFP generated gross profit and gross margin of $1.8 million and 18.2%, respectively, in the first six months of 2011, compared to $2.3 million and 17.1%, respectively, in the first six months of 2010. The increase in gross margin was due to improved product mix resulting from the elimination of the unprofitable recreational vehicle and construction product lines.

·SVG reduced selling and administrative expenses to $1.3 million, 6.7% of revenues, in the first six months of 2011 compared to $1.7 million, 9.0% of revenues, in the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease was due primarily to the closure of the Fort Smith, Arkansas facility.

·EFP incurred selling and administrative expenses of $1.4 million, 14.0% of revenues, in the first six months of 2011 compared to $1.5 million, 11.4% of revenues, in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in expense was due primarily to reduced variable selling expenses.

·Parent administrative expense increased to $4.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3.5 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries for new personnel, management incentive expenses and amortization of previously capitalized ERP software costs.

Closed and excess facility costs.  During the first six months of 2010, Specialty Vehicle Group recognized $0.8 million of costs related to the consolidation and restructuring of its two funeral coach and limousine manufacturing operations into one facility.

Operating income.  Due to the effect of the factors summarized above, consolidated operating income increased by $7.4 million in the first six months of 2011 to $19.3 million, compared to $11.9 million in the first six months of 2010, and as a percentage of revenues, from to 5.4% in 2011 to 4.0% in 2010.

·Morgan improved operating income 89%, or $6.1 million, to $13.0 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $7.0 million in the first six months of 2010, and as a percentage of revenues from 8.0% in 2011 to 6.1% in 2010.  The increase in operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenues was driven by increased revenues and their impact on relatively fixed manufacturing overhead and selling and administrative expenses, and improved labor efficiency partially offset by rising material costs.

·TAG’s operating income decreased by $1.6 million, or 24.1% to $4.9 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $6.5 million in the first six months of 2010, and as a percentage of revenues decreased to 7.7% in 2011 from 10.2% in 2010.  The decrease in operating income was the result of gross margin decreases partially offset by reductions in selling and administrative expenses.

·MIC Group’s operating income increased by $3.3 million to $3.2 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to an operating loss of $0.1 million in the first six months of 2010, and as a percentage of revenues, from (0.4)% in 2010 to 4.9% in 2011.  The improvement in operating income was primarily due to increased revenues, improved pricing, labor efficiencies and procurement initiatives partially offset by losses incurred in fulfilling unprofitable or low margin contracts.

·SVG’s operating income increased by $3.0 million to $1.7 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to an operating loss of $1.3 million in the first six months of 2010, and as a percentage of revenues, from (6.9)% in 2010 to 8.8% in 2011.  The increase in operating income and margin mainly reflects the impact of the closure of the Fort Smith, Arkansas plant.

·EFP’s operating income decreased by $0.2 million, to $0.5 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $0.7 million in the first six months of 2010, and as a percentage of revenues declined to 5.4% in 2011 compared to 5.7% in 2010.  The decline in operating income and improvement in operating income percentage was due to reduced shipments of unprofitable products to the recreational vehicle and construction markets and a plant overhead reduction in EFP’s Elkhart, Indiana facility.

Interest expense.  Consolidated interest expense was $9.1 million (2.5% of net sales,sales) compared to $4.4$8.9 million or 3.3%(3.0% of net sales,sales) for the quarterssix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Income taxes.  The effective income tax rate was 39.5% and 41.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and differed from the federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily because of state taxes and our inability to record tax benefits on our foreign losses.taxes.

 

We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. During the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we incurred Canadian and Malaysian pretax losses of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively and recorded an increase in the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to those losses of $59,000 and $12,000, respectively.  We consider future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance and should we determine that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, a reduction in the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.  Conversely, should we determine that it is more likely than not  that we will be unable to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, an increase to the valuation allowance would reduce income in the period such determination was made.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working Capital.Working capital at MarchJune 30, 2011 and December 31, 20112010 was $114.7$123.7 million which included $40.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $112.9 million, at December 31, 2010.respectively.  Excluding cash and cash equivalents, working capital increased $20.2$18.0 million.  Average days sales outstanding in receivables at March 31,June 30, 2011 were approximately 2924.8 compared to 3226.3 at March 31,June 30, 2010 and inventory turnover was approximately 6.77at March 31,June 30, 2011 and 98.1 at March 31,June 30, 2010.  The decrease in inventory turns is primarily attributable to a one time chassis buildup at SVG of $6.9$15.5 million and increased raw materials at Morgan secured to produce the increased backlog. The one-time chassis issuebuild up is expected to continue throughoutdecline in the third quarter of 2011 and moderate atend in the endthird quarter of Q1 2012.  We continue to take advantage of purchase discounts as appropriate and focus on the management ofmanaging working capital as a critical component of our cash flow.

 

Operating cash flows.  Operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 used cash of $15.3$1.6 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $9.9cash generated of $5.4 million duringin the threesix-month period ended June 30, 2010.  This change was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventory in the first six months ended March 31, 2010. Theof 2011, partially offset by higher earnings and an increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily related to the one time chassis buildup at SVG and increased accounts receivables and inventory at Morgan as a result of increased sales.payable.

 

Investing cash flows.  Net cash used in investing activities was $2.6$4.4 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 compared to $2.4$4.5 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2010.  Investing activities for the quarterfirst six months were for capital expenditures which consisted of machinery and equipment purchases mainly at Morgan, Morgan Olson, TAG and Truck Accessories.MIC.

Financing cash flows.  FinancingNet cashused by financing activities duringtotaled $1.0 million in the three monthssix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2011 used cash of $0.6 million compared to cash used of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31,and 2010.

 

Our Revolving Credit Facility, which wasrevolving credit facility has been extended through March 14, 2012 and will automatically renews forterminate on that date.  We anticipate entering into a 12-month period after March 15new revolving credit facility on similar terms with a three to five year maturity during the second half of each year unless notice is provided by either party2011. Although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at least 90 days prior to its expiration, and our Indenture relating to our 8.75% notes restrict our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and undertake certain corporate activities.all.  See “Risk Factors”.

 

At March 31,June 30, 2011, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Indenture relating to our 8.75% Notes, was 1.952.3 to 1.0,1, which was lessgreater than the Indenture debt incurrence covenant of 2.0 to 1.0.  As a result, we1. We are limited in our abilityprohibited from incurring additional indebtedness when the Consolidated Coverage ratio is below 2.0 to incur additional indebtedness.1.  The Indenture permits certain exceptions with respect to capitalized lease obligations and other arrangements that are incurred for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvements of property used in our business. Already existing obligations and any amountsAmounts available to be drawn on our existing revolving credit agreement are not subject to this limitation.

 

TheOur revolving credit facility provides for available borrowings of up to $50.0 million in revolving loans. Available borrowings are subject to a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and real estate. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are collateralizedsecured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our existing subsidiaries. Our revolving credit facility also includes a sub-facility for up to $15.0 million for letters of credit. As of March 31,June 30, 2011, we had no borrowings under the facility and our borrowing base would have supported debt borrowings of $50.0 million under our revolving credit facility.

 

We believe that we will have adequate resources to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements consistent with past trends and practices for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, we believe that our cash and borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility will satisfy our cash requirements for the remainder of 2011, given our anticipated capital expenditures, working capital requirements and known obligations. Our ability to make payments on our debt, including the 8.75% Notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This is subject to general economic conditions, other factors influencing the industries in which we operate and circumstances that are beyond our control. We cannot be certain that we will generate sufficient cash flows, and if we do not, we may have to engage in other activities such as the sale of assets to meet our cash requirements.  See “Risk Factors”.

Notes refinancing.  In late April of 2011, the Company engaged legal counsel and investment advisors and initiated internal activities in anticipation of refinancing and extending the maturity of the $200 million of 8.75% Notes due in March 2014.
