MILLER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except share data and except as otherwise noted)

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. Cost of goods sold for interim periods for certain entities is determined based on estimated gross profit rates. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the portion of the earnings or losses from the operations of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries attributable to the interests of unrelated third party equity owners. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Miller Industries, Inc.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of certain subsidiaries whose fiscal closing dates differ from December 31st by 31 days (or less) to facilitate timely reporting. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation, with no impact on previously reported shareholders’ equity. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

2.	BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME PER SHARE

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Miller Industries, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Miller Industries, Inc. by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share takes into consideration the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options resulting in approximately 53,000 and 85,000 potential dilutive common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and 61,000 and 101,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, none of the outstanding stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

3.	INVENTORIES

Inventory costs include materials, labor and factory overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, valuation and other factors in determining net realizable value. Revisions of these estimates could result in the need for adjustments. Inventories, net of reserves, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following:


	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Chassis	$	5,694	$	7,665
Raw materials		25,339		25,772
Work in process		10,525		9,915
Finished goods		13,619		10,820
	$	55,177	$	54,172

4. LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets to determine if those assets may be recoverable based upon the future operating cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. Management believes that its long-lived assets are appropriately valued.


5.	GOODWILL

Goodwill consists of the excess of cost of acquired entities over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized. However, the Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for impairment at least annually or if an event or circumstance occurs that would indicate that the carrying amount has been impaired. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment utilizing a qualitative assessment or a two-step process. If we choose to perform a qualitative analysis of goodwill and determine that the fair value more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further testing is needed. If we choose the two-step approach or if qualitative analysis determines the carrying value more likely than not exceeds fair value, the first step identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value the second step is not necessary. If the carrying value is more than the fair value, the second step of testing is performed to compare the fair value of the goodwill with its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value.


6.	LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

Credit Facility and Other Long-Term Obligations

Credit Facility

On April 6, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with First Tennessee Bank National Association for a $20.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and on December 21, 2011 the credit facility was renewed and our unsecured revolving credit facility was increased to $25.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). On December 17, 2013, the Credit Facility was further renewed to extend the maturity to March 31, 2016. The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and financial, affirmative and negative covenants for loan agreements of this kind. Covenants under the Credit Facility restrict the payment of cash dividends if the Company would be in violation of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the current loan agreement as a result of the dividends, among various other restrictions.

In the absence of a default, all borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus 1.50% per annum. The Company will pay a non-usage fee under the current loan agreement in an annual amount between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused amount of the Credit Facility, which fee shall be paid quarterly.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under the Credit Facility because outstanding amounts of indebtedness under the Credit Facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under the Credit Facility, the non-default rate of interest was equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.50% per annum (for a rate of interest of 1.66% at June 30, 2014). Because there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, a one percent change in the interest rate on our variable-rate debt would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Other Long-Term Obligations

At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $1,095 in non-cancelable operating lease obligations.


7.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company did not issue any stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2014. For additional disclosures related to the Company’s stock-based compensation refer to Notes 2 and 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, options were exercised for the purchase of 1,500 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $5.49 and 1,500 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $6.90, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, options were exercised for the purchase of 30,697 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $5.87 and 71,064 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $5.84, respectively.


8.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company has entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed, in the event of default by a customer, to repurchase from the third-party lender Company products repossessed from the customer. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The maximum amount of collateral that the Company could be required to purchase was approximately $31,830 at June 30, 2014, and $31,854 at December 31, 2013. However, the Company’s risk under these arrangements is mitigated by the value of the products that would be repurchased as part of the transaction. The Company considered the fair value at inception of its liability under these arrangements and concluded that the liability associated with these potential repurchase obligations is not material.

At July 31, 2014, the Company had commitments of approximately $4,180 for construction and acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Contingencies

The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of its business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be resolved unfavorably to the Company, which could result in substantial damages against the Company. The Company has established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.


9.	INCOME TAXES

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no unrecognized income tax positions recorded. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax positions to change significantly in the next twelve months. If unrecognized tax positions existed, the interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax positions would be recorded as income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company is subject to United States federal income taxes, as well as income taxes in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years 2010 through 2012 remain open to examination for U.S. federal income taxes. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state or non-U.S. income tax examinations prior to 2010.


10.	SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY

Dividends

Prior to March 2010, we had never declared cash dividends on our common stock. On March 8, 2010, our board of directors adopted a dividend policy to consider and pay annual cash dividends subject to our ability to satisfy all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and our continued financial strength. On May 10, 2011, the Company’s board of directors approved a dividend policy to consider and pay quarterly dividends on its common stock subject to the Company’s ability to satisfy all applicable statutory requirements and the Company’s continued financial strength, replacing the previous policy of paying annual cash dividends. Dividend payments made for 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, were as follows:

12.	CUSTOMER INFORMATION

No single customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.


13.	OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE

Other (income) expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was a loss of $117 that includes a loss on deconsolidation of a subsidiary of $83 and foreign currency transaction losses of $34. On February 28, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of its interest in the Delavan joint venture to its joint venture partner, which closed on March 31, 2014. Our Greeneville facility has ceased the manufacturing of Delavan products as of the end of the first quarter of 2014 so no further losses from the venture are expected. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, other (income) expense consisted of foreign currency transaction gains of $5.

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, a three-level hierarchy of measurements based upon observable and unobservable inputs is used to arrive at fair value. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about valuation based on the best information available in the circumstances. Depending on the inputs, we classify each fair value measurement as follows:

Level 1—based upon quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets,

Level 2—based upon quoted prices for similar instruments, prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations, all of whose significant inputs are observable, and

Level 3—based upon one or more significant unobservable inputs.

The carrying values of cash and temporary investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are measured assuming that the unit of account is an individual derivative transaction and that each derivative could be sold or transferred on a stand-alone basis. We classify within Level 2 our forward foreign currency exchange contracts based upon quoted prices for similar instruments that are actively traded. For more information regarding derivatives, see Note 15, Derivative Financial Instruments.

The following table presents the financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

15.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts designed to mitigate the impact of foreign currency risk. Prior to November 2012, the Company had not instituted a formal foreign currency exchange policy. All contracts entered into prior to this date are accounted for as undesignated hedges and, therefore, changes in fair value are recognized each period in other (income) expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the contracts is presented in accounts receivable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2013, the Company had undesignated foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts of $6,500 which were directly offset by corresponding foreign currency exchange contracts. These contracts expired over a period from September to November 2013. The gains or losses were directly offset at June 30, 2013.

In November 2012, the Company adopted a formal foreign currency exchange policy. Under this policy, for those foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, changes in the fair value of such instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company also assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in the hedging transaction are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. For those foreign currency exchange contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, changes in the fair value of such instruments are recognized each period in other (income) expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. In December 2012, the Company entered into foreign exchange currency contracts with notional values of $4,418 at June 30, 2014 and $10,200 at December 31, 2013 maturing from September 2013 to October 2014 that were considered cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value of such cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that the hedges are considered effective. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts was ($145) and ($291), respectively, which is included in accounts receivable or accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, depending on the asset or liability position of the derivative.

16.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Standards

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (FASB ASU 2014-08). The amendment revises the definition of a discontinued operation to a disposal, sale or held-for-sale component or group of components that represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2014 for calendar year-end companies. We have chosen to early adopt this pronouncement and it became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of the provisions of FASB ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (FASB ASU 2014-09), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The provisions of FASB ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

Miller Industries, Inc. is The World’s Largest Manufacturer of Vehicle Towing and Recovery Equipment®, with domestic manufacturing subsidiaries in Tennessee and Pennsylvania, and foreign manufacturing subsidiaries in France and the United Kingdom. We offer a broad range of equipment to meet our customers’ design, capacity and cost requirements under our Century®, Vulcan®, Challenger®, Holmes®, Champion®, Chevron™, Eagle®, Titan®, Jige™ and Boniface™ brand names. In this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the words “Miller Industries,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Miller Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries or any of them.

Our management focuses on a variety of key indicators to monitor our overall operating and financial performance. These indicators include measurements of revenue, operating income, gross margin, earnings per share, capital expenditures and cash flow.

We derive revenues primarily from product sales made through our network of domestic and foreign independent distributors. Our revenues are sensitive to a variety of factors including general economic conditions as well as demand for, and price of, our products, our technological competitiveness, our reputation for providing quality products and reliable service, competition within our industry, and the cost of raw materials (including aluminum, steel and petroleum-related products).

Our industry is cyclical in nature. In recent years, the overall demand for our products and resulting revenues have been positively affected by recovering economic conditions and improving consumer sentiment. However, historically, the overall demand for our products and our resulting revenues have at times been negatively affected by:

●

wavering levels of consumer confidence;

●

volatility and disruption in domestic and international capital and credit markets and the resulting decrease in the availability of financing, including floor plan financing, for our customers and towing operators;

●

significant periodic increases in fuel and insurance costs and their negative effect on the ability of our customers to purchase towing and related equipment; and

●

the overall effects of global economic downturns.

We remain concerned about the continuing effects of these factors on the towing and recovery industry, and we continue to monitor our overall cost structure to see that it remains in line with business conditions.

In addition, we have been and will continue to be affected by changes in the prices that we pay for raw materials, particularly aluminum, steel, petroleum-related products and other raw materials, which represent a substantial part of our total costs of operations. In the past, as we have determined necessary, we have implemented price increases to offset these higher costs. We also developed alternatives to some of the components used in our production process that incorporate these raw materials, and our suppliers have implemented these alternatives in the production of our component parts. We continue to monitor raw material prices and availability in order to more favorably position the Company in this dynamic market.

As previously announced, our financial results through June 30, 2014 were negatively impacted by the Delavan joint venture. Losses before income taxes that are directly attributable to the Delavan joint venture were approximately $1,300 and $152 (including the loss on deconsolidation of the subsidiary) for 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, respectively. The Company also generated additional indirect losses associated with the Greeneville, Tennessee facility in connection with its manufacturing and supply agreement for the joint venture. Following a review and evaluation of operations related to the Delavan joint venture, the Company made the decision to consider strategic alternatives with regard to the venture. On February 28, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of its interest in the Delavan joint venture to its joint venture partner, which closed on March 31, 2014. Our Greeneville facility has ceased the manufacturing of Delavan products as of the end of the first quarter of 2014 so no further losses from the venture are expected.

There were no borrowings under the credit facility at June 30, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make estimates. Certain accounting policies are deemed “critical,” as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimates and assumptions. A discussion of critical accounting policies, the judgments and uncertainties affecting their application and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions follows:

Accounts receivable

We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business. Collections from customers are continuously monitored and an allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained based on historical experience and any specific customer collection issues. While such bad debt expenses have historically been within expectations and the allowance established, there can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past.

Inventory

Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. When a determination has been made that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be fully recovered, the amount of impairment is measured by comparing an asset’s estimated fair value to its carrying value. The determination of fair value is based on projected future cash flows discounted at a rate determined by management or, if available, independent appraisals or sales price negotiations. The estimation of fair value includes significant judgment regarding assumptions of revenue, operating costs, interest rates, property and equipment additions, and industry competition and general economic and business conditions among other factors. We believe that these estimates are reasonable, however, changes in any of these factors could affect these evaluations. Based on these estimations, we believe that our long-lived assets are appropriately valued.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or if an event or circumstance occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below the carrying amount. We review goodwill for impairment utilizing a qualitative assessment or a two-step approach. If we choose to perform a qualitative analysis of goodwill and determine that the fair value more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further testing is needed. If we choose the two-step approach or if qualitative analysis determines the carrying value more likely than not exceeds fair value, the first step identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value the second step is not necessary. If the carrying value is more than the fair value, the second step of testing is performed to compare the fair value of the goodwill with its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill. Such events might include, but are not limited to, the impact of the economic environment or a material change in a relationship with significant customers.

Warranty reserves

We estimate expense for product warranty claims at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. We review trends of warranty claims and take actions to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. We believe the warranty reserve is adequate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual.

Income taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We consider the need to record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We consider tax loss carryforwards, reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning and estimates of future taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. If unrecognized tax positions exist, we record interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

Revenues

Under our accounting policies, revenues are recorded when the risk of ownership for products has transferred to independent distributors or other customers, which generally occurs on shipment. From time to time, revenue is recognized under a bill and hold arrangement. Recognition of revenue on bill and hold arrangements occurs when risk of ownership has passed to the customer, a fixed written commitment has been provided by the customer, the goods are complete and ready for shipment, the goods are segregated from inventory, no performance obligation remains, and a schedule for delivery has been established. While we manufacture only the bodies of wreckers, which are installed on truck chassis manufactured by third parties, we frequently purchase the truck chassis for resale to our customers. Sales of company-purchased truck chassis are included in net sales. Margins are substantially lower on completed recovery vehicles containing company-purchased chassis because the markup over the cost of the chassis is nominal.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for our foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, historical rates for equity and the weighted average exchange rate during the period for revenue and expense accounts. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in shareholders’ equity. Intercompany debt denominated in a currency other than the functional currency is remeasured into the functional currency. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Results of Operations–Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 15.7% to $122,432 from $105,834 for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to increased demand levels in our domestic and international markets and corresponding increases in production levels based on recovering economic conditions and improving consumer sentiment.

Costs of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 16.8% to $109,922 from $94,104 for the comparable period in 2013, which was attributable to the increased demand levels and increased production. Overall, costs of operations increased slightly as a percentage of sales from 88.9% to 89.8%.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to $6,964 from $7,220 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. As a percentage of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 5.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 6.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 due to the fixed nature of certain of these expenses. Additionally, decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales resulted from lower sales-related expenses due to product mix during the quarter, as well as our continued focus on cost control.

Total interest expense increased slightly to $126 from $84 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year period.

Other (income) expense relates to foreign currency translation gains and losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the loss was $55 compared to a loss of $18 for the prior year period.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 reflects a combined effective U.S. federal, state and foreign tax rate of 36.9% and 36.7%, respectively.

Results of Operations–Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 18.8% to $226,600 from $190,784 for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to increased demand levels in our domestic and international markets and corresponding increases in production levels based on recovering economic conditions and improving consumer sentiment.

Costs of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 19.2% to $203,152 from $170,420 for the comparable period in 2013, which was attributable to the increased demand levels and increased production. Overall, costs of operations increased slightly as a percentage of sales from 89.3% to 89.6%.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased to $14,130 from $13,919 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As a percentage of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 6.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 7.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to the fixed nature of certain of these expenses. Additionally, decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales resulted from lower sales-related expenses due to product mix during the quarter, as well as our continued focus on cost control.

Total interest expense increased slightly to $196 from $151 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year period.

Other (income) expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was a loss of $117 that includes a loss on deconsolidation of a subsidiary of $83 and foreign currency transaction losses of $34. This compares to foreign currency transaction gains of $5 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 reflects a combined effective U.S. federal, state and foreign tax rate of 36.9% and 36.6%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $1,279 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to cash used in operating activities of $799 for the comparable period in 2013. The cash provided by operating activities for the 2014 period was attributable to consolidated net income. Cash provided by operating income also reflects increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable. Certain components of accounts receivable and accounts payable have extended collection and payment terms.

Cash used in investing activities was $1,993 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1,664 for the comparable period in 2013. The cash used in investing activities for the 2014 period was primarily for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities was $3,185 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2,600 for the comparable period in 2013. The cash used in financing activities for the 2014 period was primarily to pay cash dividends, slightly offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

As of June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39,052, exclusive of unused availability under our credit facility. Our primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, the funding of any declared cash dividends and interest and principal payments on indebtedness, if any, under our credit facility. At July 31, 2014, the Company had commitments of approximately $4,180 for construction and acquisition of property and equipment. We expect our primary sources of cash to be cash flow from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2014, with borrowings under our credit facility being available if needed. We expect these sources to be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs during 2014 and for the next several years. However, our ability to satisfy our cash needs will substantially depend upon a number of factors including our future operating performance, taking into account the economic and other factors discussed above and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $12,505 and $14,306, respectively, of the Company’s cash and temporary investments were held by foreign subsidiaries and their holdings are generally based in the local currency. Amounts held by foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to U.S. income taxation on repatriation to the U.S.

Credit Facilities and Other Obligations

Credit Facility

In the absence of a default, all borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus 1.50% per annum. The Company will pay a non-usage fee under the current loan agreement in an amount between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused amount of the Credit Facility, which fee shall be paid quarterly.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Other Long-Term Obligations

At June 30, 2014, we had approximately $1,095 in non-cancelable operating lease obligations.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our results of operations and financial position.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under our Credit Facility because the outstanding amounts of indebtedness under our Credit Facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under our Credit Facility, the non-default rate of interest was equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.50% per annum (for a rate of interest of 1.66% at June 30, 2014). Because there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, a one percent change in the interest rate on our variable-rate debt would not have materially impacted our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are subject to risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our international operations in Europe. We manage our exposure to our foreign currency exchange rate risk through our regular operating and financing activities. Additionally, from time to time, we enter into certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Because we report in U.S. dollars on a consolidated basis, foreign currency exchange fluctuations could have a translation impact on our financial position. At June 30, 2014, we recognized a $165 increase in our foreign currency translation adjustment account compared with December 31, 2013 because of fluctuations of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies compared to a $365 decrease for the prior year period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our results of operations and cash flows was a loss of $55 and $18, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on the results of operations and cash flows was a loss of $34 and a gain of $5, respectively.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our co-Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon this evaluation, our CEOs and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of this evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of our business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be resolved unfavorably to us, which could result in substantial damages against us. We have established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintain product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
