COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“CVG”, “Company” or “we”) design and manufacture seat systems, interior trim systems (including instrument and door panels, headliners, cabinetry, molded products and floor systems), cab structures and components, mirrors, wiper systems, electronic wiring harness assemblies and controls and switches for the global commercial vehicle market, including the heavy-duty truck market, the construction, military, bus, agriculture and specialty transportation market. We have facilities located in the United States in Arizona, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington and outside of the United States in Australia, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, Mexico, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and statements of financial position for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with our fiscal 2008 consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in thousands except per share amounts.
Revenues and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future operating quarters.
We have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements on November 6, 2009.
Subsequent to the issuance of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, an error in the presentation of our borrowings under our revolving credit facility (“prior revolving credit facility”) was identified as of December 31, 2008. The borrowings under our prior revolving credit facility should have been classified as a current liability as a result of our use of the proceeds obtained from the new Loan and Security Agreement entered into on January 7, 2009, which was required to be classified as a current liability, to extinguish the prior revolving credit facility. As a result, the December 31, 2008 balance sheet presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements has been corrected to properly classify approximately $14.8 million borrowed under our prior revolving credit facility as a current liability. This amount was previously presented as a component of long-term debt, net of current maturities. After considering both the quantitative effect of the correction and qualitative considerations, we have concluded that the error was not material to our previously filed financial statements and, therefore will be corrected the next time our fiscal 2008 consolidated financial statements are issued.
Subsequent to the issuance of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, we identified an error in the presentation of our consolidating guarantor and non-guarantor financial information (see Note 17. Consolidating Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Statements). This error had no impact to the consolidated statement of operations, balance sheets and statement of cash flows.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105 establishes the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. GAAP for use in financial statements, except for SEC rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Going forward, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) or Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”), which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-12 to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of certain alternative investments. The ASU offers investors a practical means for measuring the fair value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share. The ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) ending after December 15, 2009. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on business combinations and non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements. The new guidance changes how business acquisitions are accounted for and impacts financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. The new guidance changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. The new guidance is effective for our 2009 fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively.
On January 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activity. The new guidance is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The adoption did not impact our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on consolidation of non-controlling interests. The new guidance amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
3. Fair Value Measurement
Accounting guidance on fair value measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows (in thousands):
                                                                 
    September 30, 2009     December 31, 2008  
    Total     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
Derivative assets (1)
  $ 3     $     $ 3     $     $ 32     $     $ 32     $  
Deferred compensation (2)
    1,500       1,500                   1,223       1,223              
Total assets
  $ 1,503     $ 1,500     $ 3     $     $ 1,255     $ 1,223     $ 32     $  
 
                                               
Derivative liabilities (1)
  $ 8,180     $     $ 8,180     $     $ 15,331     $     $ 15,331     $  
 
                                               
 
(1)   Based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.
 
(2)   Deferred compensation includes mutual funds and cash equivalents for payment of certain non-qualified benefits for employees.
Our derivative assets and liabilities represent foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):
                                 
    September 30, 2009   December 31, 2008
    Carrying           Carrying  
    Amount   Fair Value   Amount   Fair Value
Current maturities of long-term debt

Long-term debt and capital leases
  $ 160,859     $ 121,735     $ 150,014     $ 72,014  
The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Current maturities of long-term debt. The fair value of current maturities approximates the carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Long-term debt and capital leases. The fair value of long-term debt and capital lease obligations is based on quoted market prices or on rates available on debt with similar terms and maturities.
The following table summarizes the fair value measurement of our long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets measured on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

Indefinite-lived intangible asset
  $ 19,000     $     $     $ 19,000       (7,000 )

We review indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the second fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with intangibles-goodwill and other accounting guidance.
Determining the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions and determination of appropriate market comparables. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain. The valuation approaches we use for our indefinite-lived intangible assets include the Income Approach (the “Discounted Cash Flow Method”) and the Market Approach (the “Guideline Company and Transaction Methods”). The Discounted Cash Flow Method utilizes a market-derived rate of return to discount anticipated performance, while the Guideline Company and Transaction Methods incorporates multiples based on the market’s assessment of future performance. Actual future results may differ materially from those estimates.
In accordance with the provisions of intangibles-goodwill and other accounting guidance, indefinite-lived intangible assets with a carrying amount of approximately $26.0 million were written down to their fair value of approximately $19.0 million, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $7.0 million recorded in the second fiscal quarter of 2009.
We review long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of property, plant and equipment accounting guidance for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Based upon the decline in the North American Class 8 build rate from the prior year and lower demand in our construction, OEM bus, aftermarket, military, service and other specialty product markets, which negatively impacted our revenues, we determined that an impairment indicator existed. As a result, we performed additional analysis to determine the fair value of our long-lived assets.
Management reviewed the sum of expected future undiscounted cash flows from operating activities to determine if the estimated net cash flows were less than the carrying amount of such assets. Based upon an independent appraisal, long-lived assets with a carrying amount of approximately $7.6 million as of June 30, 2009 were written down to their fair

value of approximately $4.2 million, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $3.4 million recorded in the second fiscal quarter of 2009.
4. Restructuring Activities
On February 10, 2009, we announced a restructuring plan that includes a reduction in workforce and the closure of certain manufacturing, warehousing and assembly facilities. The facilities to be closed include an assembly and sequencing facility in Kent, Washington; seat sequencing and assembly facility in Statesville, North Carolina; manufacturing facility in Lake Oswego, Oregon; inventory and product warehouse in Concord, North Carolina; and seat assembly and distribution facility in Seneffs, Belgium. In addition, on March 18, 2009, we announced the closure of our Vancouver, Washington manufacturing facility. The decision to reduce our workforce and to close the facilities was the result of the extended downturn of the global economy and, in particular, the commercial vehicle markets. In accordance with accounting guidance for exit or disposal cost obligations, we estimate that we will record total charges of approximately $2.5 million, consisting of approximately $1.7 million of severance costs and $0.8 million of facility closure costs. We estimate that all of the restructuring charges will be incurred as cash expenditures, of which approximately $2.1 million is expected to be incurred in 2009 and approximately $0.4 million is expected to be incurred in 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we did not incur any facility closure costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we have incurred charges of approximately $1.7 million in employee related costs and $0.2 million in facility closure costs. The following table summarizes the restructuring liability as of September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

5. Share-Based Compensation
Stock Option Grants and Restricted Stock Awards
In November 2005, 168,700 shares of restricted stock and in November 2006, 207,700 shares of restricted stock were awarded by our compensation committee under our Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan. Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock that may not be sold, encumbered or disposed of, and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment prior to the end of a restricted period set by the compensation committee. The shares of restricted stock granted in November 2005 vest ratably in three equal annual installments commencing on October 20, 2006. The shares of restricted stock granted in November 2006 vest ratably in three equal annual installments commencing on October 20, 2007. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder, unless the compensation committee determines otherwise.
In February 2007, 10,000 shares of restricted stock and in March 2007, 10,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded by our compensation committee under our Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan. The shares of restricted stock granted in February 2007 and March 2007 vest ratably in three equal annual installments commencing on October 20, 2007.
In October 2007, 328,900 shares of restricted stock were awarded by our compensation committee under our Second Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan. The shares of restricted stock granted in October 2007 vest ratably in three equal annual installments commencing on October 20, 2008.
In November 2008, 798,450 shares of restricted stock were awarded by our compensation committee under our Second Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan. The shares of restricted stock granted in November 2008 vest in three equal annual installments commencing on October 20, 2009.

At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 14, 2009, the stockholders approved our Third Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan from 2,000,000 shares to 3,200,000 shares.
As of September 30, 2009, there was approximately $2.0 million of unearned compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. This expense is subject to future adjustments for vesting and forfeitures and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of one month for the November 2006, February 2007 and March 2007 awards, 13 months for the October 2007 awards and 25 months for the November 2008 awards, respectively.
We currently estimate the forfeiture rates for the November 2006, February/March 2007, October 2007 and November 2008 restricted stock awards at 11.2%, 0%, 6.9% and 5.0%, respectively, for all participants in the plan.
The following table summarizes information about the non-vested restricted stock grants as of September 30, 2009:

As of September 30, 2009, 1.3 million shares of the 3.2 million shares authorized for issuance were available for issuance under the Plan, including cumulative forfeitures.
6. Stockholders’ Investment
Common Stock — Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share.
Preferred Stock — Our authorized capital stock consists of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, with no shares outstanding as of September 30, 2009.
Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, and all other diluted per share amounts presented, is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period as determined by the Treasury Stock Method, as amended, in compensation—stock compensation accounting guidance. Potential common shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when dilutive. Diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 includes the effects of potential common shares consisting of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options when dilutive (in thousands, except per share amounts):

antidilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, diluted loss per share excludes approximately 106 thousand outstanding stock options and 105 thousand non-vested restricted stock, as the effect would have been antidilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, diluted loss per share did not include approximately 209 thousand outstanding non-vested restricted stock and approximately 142 thousand warrants, as the effect would have been antidilutive.
Dividends — We have not declared or paid any cash dividends in the past. The terms of our Loan and Security Agreement restricts the payment or distribution of our cash or other assets, including cash dividend payments.
Stockholder Rights Plan — In May 2009, our board of directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (“Rights Plan”) intended to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics.
Under the Rights Plan, with certain exceptions, the rights will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20 percent or more of our outstanding common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer that could result in ownership of 20 percent or more of our common stock. The Rights Plan has a term of 10 years and will expire on May 20, 2019, unless the rights are earlier redeemed or terminated by the board of directors.
Common Stock Warrants — On August 4, 2009, we issued 745,000 warrants to purchase common stock. The units were issued pursuant to a warrant and unit agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as unit agent and warrant agent. Each warrant was issued as part of a unit consisting of (i) $1,000 principal amount of 11%/13% third lien senior secured notes due 2013 and (ii) 17.68588 warrants. The units are immediately separable.
Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The warrants provide for mandatory cashless exercise. The number of shares for which a warrant may be exercised and the exercise price are subject to adjustment in certain events. The warrants are exercisable at any time on or after separation and prior to their expiration on August 4, 2019.
7. Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at historical value less an allowance for doubtful accounts, which approximates fair value. This estimated allowance is based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as the balances become past due, the financial condition of our customers and our historical experience of write-offs. If not reserved through specific identification procedures, our general policy for uncollectible accounts is to reserve at a certain percentage threshold, based upon the aging categories of accounts receivable. Past due status is based upon the due date of the original amounts outstanding. When items are ultimately deemed uncollectible, they are charged off against the reserve previously established in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
8. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market. Cost includes applicable material, labor and overhead. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):
                 
    September 30,     December 31,  
    2009     2008  
Raw materials
  $ 44,319     $ 57,954

    (7,264 )     (6,372 )
 
           
 
  $ 57,985     $ 90,782  
 
           
Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed and, where necessary, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on our estimated production requirements driven by current market volumes. Excess and obsolete provisions may vary by product depending upon future potential use of the product.
9. Intangible Assets
We review indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the second fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The accounting guidance requires that the

9


Table of Contents

fair value of the purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives be estimated and compared to the carrying value. Determining the fair value of these assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain. To estimate the fair value of these intangible assets, we use an income approach, which utilizes a market derived rate of return to discount anticipated performance. We recognize an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value.
We review definite-lived intangible and long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. A determination is made by management to ascertain whether property and equipment and certain definite-lived intangibles have been impaired based on the sum of expected future undiscounted cash flows from operating activities. If the estimated net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of such assets, we will recognize an impairment loss in an amount necessary to write down the assets to fair value as determined from expected discounted future cash flows.
Our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset analysis was performed during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. We determined that because the carrying value of our customer relationships exceeded the fair value, we recorded an impairment of approximately $7.0 million during the second fiscal quarter.
Our intangible assets were comprised of the following (in thousands):

Based upon the decline in the North American Class 8 build rate from the prior year and lower demand in our construction, OEM bus, aftermarket, military, service and other specialty product markets, which negatively impacted our revenues, we determined that an impairment indicator existed during the second fiscal quarter. We recorded an impairment of approximately $3.4 million on our long-lived assets as the carrying value of the assets exceeded their fair value during the second fiscal quarter.
The aggregate intangible asset amortization expense was approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The estimated intangible asset amortization expense for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, and for the five succeeding years is as follows (in thousands):

Credit Agreement — We account for modifications to our debt under accounting guidance for debt modification. We have not amended the terms of our 8.0% senior notes subsequent to the original offering date. In connection with an amendment of a revolving credit facility, bank fees incurred are deferred and amortized over the term of the new arrangement and, if applicable, any outstanding deferred fees are expensed proportionately or in total. In connection with an amendment of our term debt, bank and any third-party fees would be either expensed or deferred and amortized over the term of the agreement based upon whether or not the old and new debt instruments are substantially different.
On January 7, 2009, we and certain of our direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent and lender, which provides for a three-year asset-based revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $37.5 million (after giving effect to the Second Amendment described below), which is subject to an availability block and the borrowing base limitations described below. Up to an aggregate of $10.0 million is available to the borrowers for the issuance of letters of credit, which reduce availability under the revolving credit facility. Approximately $0.8 million of third party fees relating to the prior senior credit agreement were expensed as loss on early extinguishment of debt and the remaining $2.3 million of third party fees relating to the Loan and Security Agreement were capitalized and were being amortized over its remaining life. Set forth below is a description of the material terms and conditions of the Loan and Security Agreement:
On January 7, 2009, we borrowed $26.8 million under the revolving credit facility and used that amount to repay in full our borrowings under our prior senior credit agreement and to pay fees and expenses related to the Loan and Security Agreement. We use the revolving credit facility to fund ongoing operating and working capital requirements.
On March 12, 2009, we entered into a first amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, the lenders consented to changing the thresholds in the minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended) covenant. In addition, the First Amendment provided for (i) an increase in the applicable margin for interest rates on amounts borrowed by the domestic borrowers of 1.50%, (ii) a limitation on permitted capital expenditures in 2009 and (iii) a temporary decrease in domestic availability until such time as the domestic borrowers demonstrate a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0:1.0 for any fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2010. Approximately $0.4 million of third party fees relating to the First Amendment were capitalized and were being amortized over its remaining life.
As of September 30, 2009, approximately $4.2 million in deferred fees relating to the Loan and Security Agreement and fees related to the 8.0% senior notes offering were outstanding and were being amortized over the life of the agreements.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2009, we did not have borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.7 million and borrowing availability of $35.8 million under the Loan and Security Agreement, which is subject to a $10.0 million availability block.
On August 4, 2009, we entered into a second amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). Approximately $0.5 million of third party fees relating to the Loan and Security Agreement were expensed as a loss on early extinguishment of debt and the remaining $0.6 million of third party fees relating to the Loan and Security Agreement were capitalized and are being amortized over its remaining life. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, the lender consented to the notes exchange described below, including the issuance of the 11%/13% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 (the “third lien notes”) and the second lien term loan described below.
The Second Amendment included a reduction in size of the commitment from $47.5 million to $37.5 million and provided that borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement are subject to an availability block of $10.0 million, until we deliver a compliance certificate for any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010 or thereafter demonstrating a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0 for the most recent four fiscal quarters, at which time the availability block will be $7.5 million at all times while the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.1 to 1.0.
The aggregate amount of loans permitted to be made to the borrowers under the Loan and Security Agreement may not exceed a borrowing base consisting of the lesser of: (a) $37.5 million, minus the availability block and domestic letters of credit, and (b) the sum of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory of the borrowers, minus the availability block and certain availability reserves. Borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement are denominated in U.S. dollars. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement was approximately 6.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The Second Amendment further provided that we need not comply with any minimum EBITDA requirement or fixed charge coverage ratio requirement for as long as we maintain at least $5.0 million of borrowing availability (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) under the Loan and Security Agreement. If borrowing availability (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) is less than $5.0 million for three consecutive business days or less than $2.5 million on any day, we will be required to comply with revised monthly minimum EBITDA requirements for 2009 set forth below and a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1.0 for fiscal quarters ending on or after March 31, 2010, and will be required to continue to comply with these requirements until we have borrowing availability (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) of $5.0 million or greater for 60 consecutive days.
The revised monthly minimum EBITDA requirements for 2009, if applicable, would require us to maintain cumulative EBITDA, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, calculated monthly starting on September 30, 2009, for each of the following periods as of the end of each fiscal month specified below (in thousands):
         
    EBITDA (as defined in
    the Loan and Security
Period Ending on or Around   Agreement, as amended)
July 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009
  $ 1,256  
July 1, 2009 through October 31, 2009
  $ 3,422  
July 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009
  $ 5,756  
July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009
  $ 7,191  
The Second Amendment also included a waiver of our covenant default resulting from our failure to be in compliance with the minimum EBITDA requirement in the Loan and Security Agreement, as in effect prior to the Second Amendment, on June 30, 2009.
Because we had borrowing availability in excess of $5.0 million (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) from August 4, 2009 through September 30, 2009, we were not required to comply with the monthly minimum EBITDA covenant during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
The Second Amendment included amendments to permit us to engage in asset securitization transactions involving accounts receivable, and eliminates our ability to add certain of our direct and indirect UK subsidiaries as borrowers under the Loan and Security Agreement.

Table of Contents

The Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, includes a limitation on the amount of capital expenditures of not more than $4.3 million for the period from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, and not more than $9.7 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
The Loan and Security Agreement also contains other customary restrictive covenants, including, without limitation: limitations on the ability of the borrowers and their subsidiaries to incur additional debt and guarantees; grant liens on assets; pay dividends or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; dispose of assets; make payments on certain indebtedness; merge, combine with any other person or liquidate; amend organizational documents; file consolidated tax returns with entities other than other borrowers or their subsidiaries; make material changes in accounting treatment or reporting practices; enter into restrictive agreements; enter into hedging agreements; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into certain employee benefit plans; and amend subordinated debt or the indentures governing the third lien notes and the 8% senior notes due 2013. In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2009.
The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation: nonpayment of obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement when due; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement and certain other documents executed in connection therewith; breach or default of agreements related to debt in excess of $5.0 million that could result in acceleration of that debt; revocation or attempted revocation of guarantees, denial of the validity or enforceability of the loan documents or failure of the loan documents to be in full force and effect; certain judgments in excess of $2.0 million; the inability of an obligor to conduct any material part of its business due to governmental intervention, loss of any material license, permit, lease or agreement necessary to the business; cessation of an obligor’s business for a material period of time; impairment of collateral through condemnation proceedings; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; certain ERISA events; and a change in control of CVG.
The Loan and Security Agreement requires us to make mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of certain asset dispositions and upon the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds to the extent we do not use the proceeds for the purchase of assets useful in our business.
In accordance with accounting guidance for debt, we have classified our Loan and Security Agreement, which has a maturity date of more than one year from the balance sheet date, as a current liability since it includes a lockbox arrangement and a subjective acceleration clause.
Terms, Covenants and Compliance Status — Our Loan and Security Agreement contains financial covenants, including minimum EBITDA and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010 if we do not maintain certain availability requirements. The Second Amendment also included a waiver of our covenant default resulting from our failure to be in compliance with the minimum EBITDA requirement in the Loan and Security Agreement, as in effect prior to the Second Amendment, on June 30, 2009. Because we had borrowing availability in excess of $5.0 million (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) from August 4, 2009 through September 30, 2009, we were not required to comply with the monthly minimum EBITDA covenant during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Under the Loan and Security Agreement, borrowings bear interest at various rates plus a margin based on certain financial ratios. The borrowers’ obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien (subject to certain permitted liens) on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers, as well as 100% of the capital stock of the direct domestic subsidiaries of each borrower and 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by a borrower. Each of CVG and each other borrower is jointly and severally liable for the obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment and performance thereof.
We continue to operate in a challenging economic environment, and our ability to comply with the new covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement may be affected in the future by economic or business conditions beyond our control. Based on our current forecast, we believe that we will be able to maintain compliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant, the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant or the minimum availability requirement, if applicable, and other covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement for the next twelve months; however, no assurances can be given that we will be able to comply. We base our forecasts on historical experience, industry forecasts and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. If actual results are substantially different than our current forecast, or if we do not realize a significant portion of our planned cost savings or generate sufficient cash, we could be

required to comply with our financial covenants, and there is no assurance that we would be able to comply with such financial covenants. If we do not comply with the financial and other covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement, and we are unable to obtain necessary waivers or amendments from the lender, we would be precluded from borrowing under the Loan and Security Agreement, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity. If we are unable to borrow under the Loan and Security Agreement, we will need to meet our capital requirements using other sources. Due to current economic conditions, alternative sources of liquidity may not be available on acceptable terms if at all. In addition, if we do not comply with the financial and other covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement, the lender could declare an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement, and our indebtedness thereunder could be declared immediately due and payable, which would also result in an event of default under the second lien term loan, the 11%/13% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 and the 8% senior notes due 2013. Any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity.
Second Lien Credit Agreement. Concurrently with the notes exchange described below, on August 4, 2009, CVG and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with Credit Suisse, as agent, and certain financial institutions, as lenders, providing for a term loan (the “second lien term loan”) in principal amount of $16.8 million, for proceeds of approximately $13.1 million (representing a discount of approximately 21.9%). We used these proceeds to repay borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., and to pay approximately $3.1 million of transaction fees and expenses relating to the notes exchange, the issuance of the units consisting of the third lien notes and warrants, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment.
The second lien term loan bears interest at the fixed per annum rate of 15% until it matures on November 1, 2012. During an event of default, if the required lenders so elect, the interest rate applied to any outstanding obligations will be equal to the otherwise applicable rate plus 2.0%.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides that the second lien term loan is a senior secured obligation of CVG. CVG’s obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the guarantors. The obligations of CVG and the guarantors under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are secured by a second-priority lien on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of CVG and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of certain of CVG’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by a domestic subsidiary.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on the ability of CVG and its subsidiaries to: incur additional debt and guarantees; grant liens on assets; pay dividends or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; transfer or dispose of capital stock; dispose of assets; make payments on certain indebtedness; merge or combine with any other person or liquidate; engage in transactions with affiliates; engage in certain lines of business; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; and amend subordinated debt, the indenture governing the 8% senior notes or the indenture governing the third lien notes. In addition, the Second Lien Credit Agreement contains reporting covenants. The debt covenant in the Second Lien Credit Agreement limits our ability to borrow under the Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A, to not more than $27.5 million at any one time, unless we demonstrate compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) covenant contained in the Loan and Security Agreement.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains events of default, including, without limitation: nonpayment of obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement when due; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants in the Second Lien Credit Agreement and certain other documents executed in connection therewith; default or acceleration of agreements related to debt in excess of $10.0 million; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; judgment or decree entered against CVG or a guarantor for the payment of money in excess of $10.0 million; denial of the validity or enforceability of the second lien loan documents or any guaranty thereunder or failure of the second lien loan documents or any guaranty thereunder to be in full force and effect; and a change in control of CVG. All provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to the intercreditor agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of the third lien notes and the second lien term loan described below (the “Intercreditor Agreements”).
Amounts outstanding under the second lien term loan may be prepaid from time to time after the first anniversary of August 4, 2009, when accompanied by prepayment premium equal to (a) 7.5% of the accreted value of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs after August 4, 2010 but on or before August 4, 2011, (b) 3.75% of the accreted value of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs after August 4, 2011 but on or before August 4, 2012, and (c) 0% of the accreted value of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs after August 4, 2012 without penalty or premium.

In addition, within five business days of certain permitted asset dispositions or receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds, we must apply the net proceeds (in the case of asset dispositions) to prepay the term loan, except that the proceeds do not have to be used to prepay the term loan if they are used to acquire property that is useful in our business within 180 days of receipt of such proceeds but only if no default exists at that time and if the property so acquired will be free of liens, other than permitted liens. All provisions regarding voluntary and mandatory prepayments are subject to the Intercreditor Agreements.
Exchange of 8% Senior Notes due 2013 for Units consisting of 11%/13% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 and Warrants. On August 4, 2009, we announced a private exchange with certain holders of our 8% senior notes due 2013 (the “8% senior notes”) pursuant to an exchange agreement, dated as of August 4, 2009, by and between us, certain of our subsidiaries and the exchanging noteholders named therein. Pursuant to the exchange agreement, we exchanged approximately $52.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 8% senior notes for units consisting of (i) approximately $42.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our new 11%/13% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 (the “third lien notes”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 745,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35. The third lien notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 4, 2009 (the “Third Lien Notes Indenture”), by and among CVG, certain of our subsidiaries party thereto, as guarantors (the “guarantors”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The warrants and units were issued pursuant to a Warrant and Unit Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2009, by and among CVG and U.S. Bank National Association, as warrant agent and unit agent. Each unit is immediately separable into $1,000 principal amount of third lien notes and 17.68588 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.
11%/13% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013. The third lien notes were issued under the Third Lien Notes Indenture. Interest is payable on the third lien notes on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2010 until their maturity date of February 15, 2013. We are required to pay interest entirely in pay-in-kind interest (“PIK interest”), by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the third lien notes, on the first interest payment date on February 15, 2010, at an annual rate of 13.0%. We may, at our option, elect to pay interest in cash, at an annual rate of 11.0%, or in PIK interest, at an annual rate of 13.0%, on the interest payment dates on August 15, 2010 and February 15, 2011. After February 15, 2011, we will be required to make all interest payments entirely in cash, at an annual rate of 11.0%.
The Third Lien Notes Indenture provides that the third lien notes are senior secured obligations of CVG. Our obligations under the third lien notes are guaranteed by the guarantors. The obligations of CVG and the guarantors under the third lien notes are secured by a third-priority lien on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of CVG and its domestic subsidiaries, and a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of certain of CVG’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by a domestic subsidiary. The liens, the security interests and all obligations of CVG and the guarantors are subject in all respects to the terms, provisions, conditions and limitations of the Intercreditor Agreements.
The Third Lien Notes Indenture contains restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: incur additional debt; pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase capital stock; restrict dividends or other payments of subsidiaries; make investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries.
The Third Lien Notes Indenture provides for events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants or other agreements in the Third Lien Notes Indenture, defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and certain defaults with respect to the security documents. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding third lien notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the third lien notes to be due and payable. All provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to the Intercreditor Agreements.
The third lien notes may be redeemed from time to time on or after February 15, 2011, at the following redemption prices (a) 111% of the principal amount if such redemption occurs on or after February 15, 2011 but prior to August 15, 2011, (b) 105.5% of the principal amount if such redemption occurs on or after August 15, 2011 but prior to August 15, 2012, and (c) 100% of the principal amount if such redemption occurs on or after August 15, 2012. In addition, we may be required to make an offer to purchase the third lien notes in certain circumstances described in the Third Lien Notes Indenture, including in connection with a change in control.

11. Income Taxes
We, or one of our subsidiaries, file federal income tax returns in the United States and income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by any of the taxing authorities for years before 2004. There are currently two income tax examinations in process. We do not anticipate that any adjustments from these examinations will result in material changes to our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
As of September 30, 2009, we have provided a liability of approximately $2.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax positions. Of the $2.9 million, the amount that would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized, is $2.0 million. The remaining $0.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits consists of items that are offset by deferred tax assets, subject to valuation allowance, and thus could further impact the effective rate.
We accrue penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. We had approximately $0.8 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2009, of which $88 thousand was accrued during the current year. Accrued interest and penalties are included in the $2.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits.
During the current quarter, we did not release tax reserves associated with items with expiring statues of limitations. We anticipate events could occur within the next 12 months that would have an impact on the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would be required. Approximately $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits relate to items that are affected by expiring statutes of limitation within the next 12 months.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranty — We are subject to warranty claims for products that fail to perform as expected due to design or manufacturing deficiencies. Customers continue to require their outside suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products and bear the cost of repair or replacement of such products. Depending on the terms under which we supply products to our customers, a customer may hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products when the product supplied did not perform as represented. Our policy is to reserve for estimated future customer warranty costs based on historical trends and current economic factors. The following represents a summary of the warranty provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (in thousands):
         
Balance — December 31, 2008
  $ 3,706  
Additional provisions recorded
    1,093  
Deduction for payments made
    (1,714 )
Currency translation adjustment
    9  
 
     
Balance — September 30, 2009
  $ 3,094  
 
     
Leases — We lease office and manufacturing space and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that require us to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses in addition to annual rents. As of September 30, 2009, our equipment leases did not provide for any material guarantee of a specified portion of residual values.
Guarantees — We accrue for costs associated with guarantees when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts, and where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. In accordance with accounting guidance for guarantees issued after December 31, 2002, we record a liability for the fair value of such guarantees in the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2009, we had no such guarantees.
Litigation — We are subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, product warranties, employment-related matters and environmental matters. Management believes that we maintain adequate insurance to cover these claims. We have established reserves for issues that are probable and estimatable in amounts management believes are adequate to cover reasonable adverse judgments not covered by insurance. Based upon the information available to management and discussions with legal counsel, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate outcome of the various legal actions and claims that are incidental to our business will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcomes of individual matters are not predictable with assurance.

13. Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
We use forward exchange contracts to hedge certain of the foreign currency transaction exposures primarily related to our United Kingdom operations. We estimate our projected revenues and purchases in certain foreign currencies or locations and will hedge a portion or all of the anticipated long or short position. The contracts typically run from three months up to three years. As of September 30, 2009, none of our derivatives were designated as hedging instruments; therefore, our forward foreign exchange contracts have been marked-to-market and the fair value of contracts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets with the offsetting non-cash gain or loss recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. We do not hold or issue foreign exchange options or forward contracts for trading purposes.

The fair value of our derivative instruments was a net liability of approximately $8.2 million and $15.3 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The net liability was comprised of $7.2 million and $10.1 million in accrued liabilities and $1.0 million and $5.2 million in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
We consider the impact of our and our counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the contracts as well as the ability of each party to execute its obligations under the contract. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a credit valuation adjustment of approximately $0.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, on our foreign currency forward contracts, which is included in other expense (income) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

14. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
We sponsor pension and other post-retirement benefit plans that cover certain hourly and salaried employees in the United States and United Kingdom. Our policy is to make annual contributions to the plans to fund the normal cost as required by local regulations. In addition, we have a post-retirement benefit plan for certain U.S. operations, retirees and their dependents.
The components of net periodic benefit cost related to the pension and other post-retirement benefit plans for the three months ended September 30 was as follows (in thousands):

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, that we expect to contribute approximately $1.8 million to our pension plans in 2009. As of September 30, 2009, approximately $1.4 million of contributions have been made to our pension plans. We anticipate contributing an additional $0.3 million to our pension plans in 2009 for total estimated contributions during 2009 of $1.7 million.
15. Comprehensive Loss
We follow the comprehensive income accounting guidance, which established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise

during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. Comprehensive income represents net income adjusted for foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability.

16. Related Party Transactions
In May 2008, we entered into a freight services arrangement with Group Transportation Services Holdings, Inc. (“GTS”), a third party logistics and freight management company. Under this arrangement, which was approved by our Audit Committee on April 29, 2008, GTS manages a portion of our freight and logistics program as well as administers its payments to additional third party freight service providers. Scott D. Rued, our Chairman, is also Chairman of the Board of GTS and Managing Partner of Thayer Hidden Creek, the controlling shareholder of GTS, and Richard A. Snell, a member of our Board of Directors, is an Operating Partner of Thayer Hidden Creek. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we made payments under these arrangements of approximately $7.9 million, which consisted primarily of payments from us for other third-party service providers and the balance of which consisted of approximately $0.4 million of fees for GTS’s services.
17. Consolidating Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information
The following consolidating financial information presents balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow information related to our business. Each guarantor is a direct or indirect subsidiary of CVG and has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 8% senior notes and third lien notes issued by CVG, on a joint and several basis.
The following consolidating financial information presents the financial information of CVG (the “parent company”), the guarantor companies and the non-guarantor companies in accordance with Rule 3-10 under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. The financial information may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations or financial position had the guarantor companies or non-guarantor companies operated as independent entities. The guarantor companies and the non-guarantor companies include the consolidated financial results of their wholly owned subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method. All applicable corporate expenses have been allocated appropriately among the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Subsequent to the issuance of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, an error was identified in the presentation of our consolidating guarantor and non-guarantor financial information. This error had no impact to the consolidated statement of operations, balance sheets and statement of cash flows. As a result, we have corrected our previous presentation of “investment in subsidiaries” within the parent company to appropriately reflect our subsidiaries on an equity method basis in the following tables. This change impacted the parent company, the guarantor companies and the non-guarantor companies columns in the statement of operations, balance sheets and statement of cash flows for all periods presented. The corrections primarily relate to: (i) reclassification of certain operations between the parent company, guarantor and non-guarantor columns, specifically the effects of foreign currency translation, interest expense and tax provision related adjustments; and (ii) accounting for certain equity transactions within the appropriate column, specifically tax based adjustments previously recorded in the guarantor companies column associated with the parent and non-guarantor and debt related transactions. These corrections had no impact to the consolidated statement of operations, balance sheets and statement of cash flows. After considering both the quantitative effect of the correction and qualitative considerations, we have concluded that the error was not material to our previously filed financial statements. We will correct the error described above the next time the relevant financial statements are issued.

ITEM 2   — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Company Overview
We are a leading supplier of fully integrated system solutions for the global commercial vehicle market, including the Heavy-duty (Class 8) truck market, the construction, military, bus and agriculture market and the specialty transportation markets. As a result of our strong leadership in cab-related products and systems, we are positioned to benefit from the increased focus of our customers on cab design and comfort and convenience features to better serve their end-user, the driver. Our products include suspension seat systems, electronic wire harness assemblies, control and switches, cab structures and components, interior trim systems (including instrument panels, door panels, headliners, cabinetry and floor systems), mirrors and wiper systems specifically designed for applications in commercial vehicles.
We are differentiated from suppliers to the automotive industry by our ability to manufacture low volume customized products on a sequenced basis to meet the requirements of our customers. We believe that we have the number one or two position in most of our major markets and that we are the only supplier in the North American commercial vehicle market that can offer complete cab systems including cab body assemblies, sleeper boxes, seats, interior trim, flooring, wire harnesses, panel assemblies and other structural components. We believe our products are used by virtually every major North American heavy truck commercial vehicle OEM, which we believe creates an opportunity to cross-sell our products and offer a fully integrated system solution.
Demand for our heavy truck products is generally dependent on the number of new heavy truck commercial vehicles manufactured in North America, which in turn is a function of general economic conditions, interest rates, changes in governmental regulations, consumer spending, fuel costs and our customers’ inventory levels and production rates. New heavy truck commercial vehicle demand has historically been cyclical and is particularly sensitive to the industrial sector of the economy, which generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled by commercial vehicles. Production of heavy truck commercial vehicles in North America initially peaked in 1999 and experienced a downturn from 2000 to 2003 that was due to a weak economy, an oversupply of new and used vehicle inventory and lower spending on heavy truck commercial vehicles and equipment. Demand for commercial vehicles improved in 2006 due to broad economic recovery in North America, corresponding growth in the movement of goods, the growing need to replace aging truck fleets and OEMs received larger than expected pre-orders in anticipation of the new EPA emissions standards becoming effective in 2007.
During 2007, the demand for North American Class 8 heavy trucks experienced a downturn as a result of pre-orders in 2006 and general weakness in the North American economy and corresponding decline in the need for commercial vehicles to haul freight tonnage in North America. The demand for new heavy truck commercial vehicles in 2008 remained close to 2007 levels as weakness in the overall North American economy continued to impact production related orders. We believe this general weakness has contributed to the reluctance of trucking companies to invest in new truck fleets. In addition, the recent tightening of credit in financial markets may adversely affect the ability of our customers to obtain financing for significant truck orders, which we have experienced through September 30, 2009. North American Class 8 production levels through September 30, 2009 are down approximately 48% over the same period in 2008 as the overall weakness in the North American economy and credit markets continue to put pressure on the demand for new vehicles. If the sustained downturn in the economy and the disruption in the financial markets continue, we expect that low demand for Class 8 trucks could continue to have a negative impact on our revenues, operating results and financial position.
Demand for our construction products is also dependent on the overall vehicle demand for new commercial vehicles in the global construction equipment market and generally follows certain economic conditions around the world. Within the construction market, there are two classes of construction equipment, the medium/heavy equipment market (weighing over 12 metric tons) and the light construction equipment market (weighing below 12 metric tons). Demand in the medium/heavy construction equipment market is typically related to the level of larger scale infrastructure development projects such as highways, dams, harbors, hospitals, airports and industrial development as well as activity in the mining, forestry and other raw material based industries. Demand in the light construction equipment market is typically related to certain economic conditions such as the level of housing construction and other smaller-scale developments and projects. Our products are primarily used in the medium/heavy construction equipment markets. Demand in the construction equipment market through September 30, 2009 has declined significantly from the same period in 2008 as a result of the continuing economic downturn in the housing and financial markets. If the downturn in the global economy and the disruption in the financial markets continue, we expect that low demand for construction equipment could continue to have a negative impact on our revenues, operating results and financial position.

Along with the United States, we have operations in Europe, China, Australia and Mexico. Our operating results are, therefore, impacted by exchange rate fluctuations to the extent we translate our foreign operations from their local currencies into U.S. dollars.
We continuously seek ways to improve our operating performance by lowering costs. These efforts include, but are not limited to, the following:
    eliminating excess production capacity through the closure and consolidation of manufacturing, warehousing or assembly facilities;
 
    adjusting our hourly and salaried workforce to optimize costs in line with our production levels;
 
    working capital improvements through reduced inventory and capital spending;
 
    sourcing efforts in Europe and Asia;
 
    consolidating our supply base to improve purchasing leverage; and
 
    implementing Lean Manufacturing and Total Quality Production System (“TQPS”) initiatives to improve operating efficiency and product quality.
Although OEM demand for our products is directly correlated with new vehicle production, we also have the opportunity to grow through increasing our product content per vehicle through cross selling and bundling of products. We generally compete for new business at the beginning of the development of a new vehicle platform and upon the redesign of existing programs. New platform development generally begins at least one to three years before the marketing of such models by our customers. Contract durations for commercial vehicle products generally extend for the entire life of the platform, which is typically five to seven years.
In sourcing products for a specific platform, the customer generally develops a proposed production timetable, including current volume and option mix estimates based on their own assumptions, and then sources business with the supplier pursuant to written contracts, purchase orders or other firm commitments in terms of price, quality, technology and delivery. In general, these contracts, purchase orders and commitments provide that the customer can terminate if a supplier does not meet specified quality and delivery requirements and, in many cases, they provide that the price will decrease over the proposed production timetable. Awarded business generally covers the supply of all or a portion of a customer’s production and service requirements for a particular product program rather than the supply of a specific quantity of products. Accordingly, in estimating awarded business over the life of a contract or other commitment, a supplier must make various assumptions as to the estimated number of vehicles expected to be produced, the timing of that production, mix of options on the vehicles produced and pricing of the products being supplied. The actual production volumes and option mix of vehicles produced by customers depend on a number of factors that are beyond a supplier’s control.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2008
Revenues. Revenues decreased approximately $82.1 million, or 42.5%, to $110.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $192.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease resulted primarily from the decline in global economic conditions, which negatively impacted our North American end market revenues by approximately $55.9 million and our European and Asian end market revenues by approximately $23.7 million. In addition, translation of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars decreased our revenues by approximately $2.5 million over the prior year period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to gross profit of $16.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately $13.3 million, or 78.6%. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 3.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to gross profit of 8.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily the result of our inability to reduce our costs in proportion with the $82.1 million decrease in our revenues from the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $4.7 million, or 29.3%, to $11.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $16.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of reductions in wages and general spending in connection with our restructuring and cost containment efforts during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Amortization Expense. Amortization expense was approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. This decrease was primarily related to the impairment of our definite-lived customer relationship intangible assets at C.I.E.B. and PEKM.
Other Expense (Income). We use forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency transaction exposures related primarily to our United Kingdom operations. We estimate our projected revenues and purchases in certain foreign currencies or locations and will hedge a portion or all of the anticipated long or short position. As of September 30, 2009, none of our derivatives were designated as hedging instruments; therefore, our forward foreign exchange contracts have been marked-to-market and the fair value of contracts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets with the offsetting non-cash gain or loss recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. The $1.2 million expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and the $0.1 million income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 are primarily related to the noncash change in value of the forward exchange contracts in existence at the end of each period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $0.3 million to $4.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $3.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to higher average interest rate on our outstanding indebtedness.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. In connection with entering into an amendment to our Loan and Security Agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded approximately $0.5 million in fees relating to a proportionate impairment of previously deferred financing fees.
Expense Relating to Debt Exchange. In connection with the private exchange of a portion of our 8% senior rotes and the issuance of a new second lien term loan during the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded approximately $2.9 million in third party fees relating to the modification of our debt arrangements.
Benefit for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 15.8% for the same period in 2008. An income tax benefit of approximately $0.5 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008. The change in effective rate from the prior year quarter can be primarily attributed to valuation allowances. Valuation allowances continue to be necessary as it is more likely than not that we will not realize the deferred tax assets.
Net Loss. Net loss was $15.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the factors discussed above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Revenues. Revenues decreased approximately $276.3 million, or 46.1%, to $322.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $599.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease resulted primarily from the decline in global economic conditions, which impacted our North American end market revenues by approximately $170.0 million and our European and Asian end market revenues by approximately $93.1 million. In addition, translation of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars decreased our revenues by approximately $13.2 million over the prior year period.
Gross (Loss) Profit. Gross loss was approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to gross profit of $61.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately $61.8 million, or 101.2%. As a percentage of revenues, gross loss was 0.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to gross profit of 10.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily the result of our inability to reduce our costs in proportion with the $276.3 million decrease in our revenues from the prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $12.8 million, or 26.7%, to $35.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $47.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of reductions in wages and general spending in connection with our restructuring and cost containment efforts during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Amortization Expense. Amortization expense was approximately $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. We recorded less amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to the impairment of our definite-lived customer relationships at C.I.E.B. and PEKM.
Gain on Sale of Long-Lived Assets. We sold the land and building of our Seattle, Washington facility with a carrying value of approximately $1.2 million, for $7.3 million and recognized a gain on the sale of long-lived assets of approximately $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We did not record a gain on sale of long-lived assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Intangible Asset Impairment. Our intangible asset impairment analysis is performed annually during the second quarter. In connection with this test, we determined that the fair value was less than the carrying value of our net assets and resulted in the recording of an impairment charge of approximately $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Long-Lived Asset Impairment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we identified that an impairment indicator existed related to our long-lived assets. As a result, we recorded an impairment of approximately $3.4 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2009 as the carrying value of the assets exceeded their fair value.
Restructuring Costs. We recorded restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $1.9 million relating to reductions in our workforce and the closure of certain manufacturing, warehousing and assembly facilities. We did not record a restructuring charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Other (Income) Expense. We use forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency transaction exposures related primarily to our United Kingdom operations. We estimate our projected revenues and purchases in certain foreign currencies or locations and will hedge a portion or all of the anticipated long or short position. As of September 30, 2009, none of our derivatives were designated as hedging instruments; therefore, our forward foreign exchange contracts have been marked-to-market and the fair value of contracts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets with the offsetting non-cash gain or loss recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. The $7.2 million gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the $5.8 million expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are primarily related to the noncash change in value of the forward exchange contracts in existence at the end of each period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $0.1 million to $11.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $11.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was due primarily to a lower average amount outstanding on our revolving credit facility compared to the prior year period.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. In connection with entering into our Loan and Security Agreement on January 7, 2009, we expensed approximately $0.8 million of fees relating to the prior senior credit agreement. In connection with entering into an amendment to our Loan and Security Agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded approximately $0.5 million in fees relating to a proportionate impairment of previously deferred financing fees.
Expense Relating to Debt Exchange. In connection with the private exchange of a portion of our 8% senior notes and the issuance of a new second lien term loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded approximately $2.9 million in third party fees relating to the modification of our debt arrangements.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was negative 2.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 12.1% for the same period in 2008. An income tax provision of approximately $1.1 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The change in effective rate from the prior year quarter can be primarily attributed to valuation allowances. Valuation allowances continue to be necessary as it is more likely than not that we will not realize the deferred tax assets.
Net (Loss) Income. Net loss was $57.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net income of $1.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash provided by operations was approximately $14.0 million compared to $7.0 million from the prior year period. The net cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily a result of decreases in accounts receivable and inventory, which was partially offset by changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to approximately $6.5 million for the comparable period in 2008. The amounts used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 primarily reflect capital expenditure purchases. The amounts used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflect ongoing capital expenditure purchases and post-acquisition adjustments, which was partially offset by the sale of long-lived assets.
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $0.3 million in the same period of 2008. The net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to debt issuance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Debt and Credit Facilities
As of September 30, 2009, we had an aggregate of $160.9 million of outstanding indebtedness excluding $1.7 million of outstanding letters of credit under various financing arrangements and an additional $35.8 million of borrowing capacity under our Loan and Security Agreement, which is subject to a $10.0 million availability block. The indebtedness consisted of the following:

    no borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $0.1 million of capital lease obligations;
    $97.8 million of 8.0% senior notes due 2013;
    $12.4 million ($16.8 million principal amount, net of $4.4 million of original issue discount) of 15% second lien term loan;
    $50.5 million ($42.1 million principal amount, and $8.4 million of issuance premium) of 11%/13% third lien secured notes due 2013; and
    $0.1 million of paid-in-kind interest on the 11%/13% third lien secured notes due 2013.
Loan and Security Agreement
On January 7, 2009, we and certain of our direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as agent and lender. Set forth below is a description of the material terms and conditions of the Loan and Security Agreement:
The Loan and Security Agreement provides for a three-year asset-based revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $37.5 million (after giving effect to the Second Amendment described below), which is subject to an availability block and the borrowing base limitations described below. Up to an aggregate of $10.0 million is available to the borrowers for the issuance of letters of credit, which reduce availability under the revolving credit facility.
On January 7, 2009, we borrowed $26.8 million under the revolving credit facility and used that amount to repay in full our borrowings under our prior senior credit agreement and to pay fees and expenses related to the Loan and Security Agreement. We use the revolving credit facility to fund ongoing operating and working capital requirements.
On March 12, 2009, we entered into a first amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, the lenders consented to changing the thresholds in the minimum EBITDA (as described in the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended) covenant. In addition, the First Amendment provided for (i) an increase in the applicable margin for interest rates on amounts borrowed by the borrowers of 1.50%, (ii) a limitation on permitted capital expenditures in 2009 and (iii) a temporary decrease in domestic availability until such time as the borrowers demonstrate a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0:1.0 for any fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2010.
On August 4, 2009, we entered into a second amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, the lender consented to the notes exchange described below, including the issuance of the third lien notes, and the second lien term loan described below.
The Second Amendment included a reduction in size of the commitment from $47.5 million to $37.5 million and provided that borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement are subject to an availability block of $10.0 million, until we deliver a compliance certificate for any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010 or thereafter demonstrating a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0 for the most recent four fiscal quarters, at which time the availability block will be $7.5 million at all times while the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.1 to 1.0.
The aggregate amount of loans permitted to be made to the borrowers under the revolving credit facility may not exceed a borrowing base consisting of the lesser of: (a) $37.5 million, minus the availability block and domestic letters of credit, and (b) the sum of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory of the borrowers, minus the availability block and certain availability reserves. Borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement are denominated in U.S. dollars. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement was approximately 6.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The Second Amendment further provided that we need not comply with any minimum EBITDA requirement or fixed charge coverage ratio requirement for as long as we maintain at least $5.0 million of borrowing availability (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) under the Loan and Security Agreement. If borrowing availability (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) is less than $5.0 million for three consecutive business days or less than $2.5 million on any day, we will be required to comply with revised monthly minimum EBITDA requirements for

34


Table of Contents

2009 set forth below and a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1.0 for fiscal quarters ending on or after March 31, 2010, and will be required to continue to comply with these requirements until we have borrowing availability (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) of $5.0 million or greater for 60 consecutive days.
The revised monthly minimum EBITDA requirements for 2009, if applicable, would require us to maintain cumulative EBITDA, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, calculated monthly starting on September 30, 2009, for each of the following periods as of the end of each fiscal month specified below (in thousands):
         
    EBITDA (as defined in
    the Loan and Security
Period Ending on or Around   Agreement, as amended)
July 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009
  $ 1,256  
July 1, 2009 through October 31, 2009
  $ 3,422  
July 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009
  $ 5,756  
July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009
  $ 7,191  
The Second Amendment also included a waiver of our covenant default resulting from our failure to be in compliance with the minimum EBITDA requirement in the Loan and Security Agreement, as in effect prior to the Second Amendment, on June 30, 2009.
Because we had borrowing availability in excess of $5.0 million (after giving effect to the $10.0 million availability block) from August 4, 2009 through September 30, 2009, we were not required to comply with the monthly minimum EBITDA covenant during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
The Second Amendment included amendments to permit us to engage in asset securitization transactions involving accounts receivable, and eliminates our ability to add certain of our direct and indirect UK subsidiaries as borrowers under the Loan and Security Agreement.
The borrowers’ obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien (subject to certain permitted liens) on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers, as well as 100% of the capital stock of the direct domestic subsidiaries of each borrower and 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by a borrower. Each of CVG and each other borrower is jointly and severally liable for the obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment and performance thereof.
The Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, includes a limitation on the amount of capital expenditures of not more than $4.3 million for the period from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, not more than $9.7 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
The Loan and Security Agreement also contains other customary restrictive covenants, including, without limitation: limitations on the ability of the borrowers and their subsidiaries to incur additional debt and guarantees; grant liens on assets; pay dividends or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; dispose of assets; make payments on certain indebtedness; merge, combine with any other person or liquidate; amend organizational documents; file consolidated tax returns with entities other than other borrowers or their subsidiaries; make material changes in accounting treatment or reporting practices; enter into restrictive agreements; enter into hedging agreements; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into certain employee benefit plans; and amend subordinated debt or the indentures governing the third lien notes and the 8% senior notes due 2013. In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2009.
The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation: nonpayment of obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement when due; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement and certain other documents executed in connection therewith; breach or default of agreements related to debt in excess of $5.0 million that could result in acceleration of that debt; revocation or attempted revocation of guarantees, denial of the validity or enforceability of the loan documents or failure of the loan documents to be in full force and effect; certain judgments in excess of $2.0 million; the inability of an obligor to conduct any material part of its business due to governmental intervention, loss of any material license, permit, lease or agreement necessary to the business; cessation of an obligor’s business for a material period of time; impairment of collateral through condemnation proceedings; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; certain ERISA events; and a change in control of CVG.

The Loan and Security Agreement requires us to make mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of certain asset dispositions and upon the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds to the extent we do not use the proceeds for the purchase of assets useful in our business.
Second Lien Term Loan
Concurrently with the notes exchange described below, on August 4, 2009, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries entered into a discounted second lien Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with Credit Suisse, as agent, and certain financial institutions, as lenders, providing for a term loan (the “second lien term loan”) in principal amount of $16.8 million, for proceeds of approximately $13.1 million (representing a discount of approximately 21.9%). We used these proceeds to repay borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., and to pay approximately $3.1 million of transaction fees and expenses relating to the notes exchange described below, the issuance of the units consisting of 11%/13% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 and warrants described below, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment.
The second lien term loan bears interest at the fixed per annum rate of 15% until it matures on November 1, 2012. During an event of default, if the required lenders so elect, the interest rate applied to any outstanding obligations will be equal to the otherwise applicable rate plus 2.0%.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides that the second lien term loan is a senior secured obligation of the Company. Our obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. Our obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are secured by a second-priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, and a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of certain of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by a domestic subsidiary.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants, including, without limitation: limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional debt and guarantees; grant liens on assets; pay dividends or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; transfer or dispose of capital stock; dispose of assets; make payments on certain indebtedness; merge, combine with any other person or liquidate; engage in transactions with affiliates; engage in certain lines of business; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; and amend subordinated debt, the indentures governing the third lien notes or the 8% senior notes due 2013. In addition, the Second Lien Credit Agreement contains reporting covenants. The debt covenant in the Second Lien Credit Agreement limits our ability to borrow under the Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A, to not more than $27.5 million at any one time, unless we demonstrate compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) covenant contained in the Loan and Security Agreement.
The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains events of default, including, without limitation: nonpayment of obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement when due; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants in the Second Lien Credit Agreement and certain other documents executed in connection therewith; default or acceleration of agreements related to debt in excess of $10.0 million; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; judgment or decree entered against us or a guarantor for the payment of money in excess of $10.0 million; denial of the validity or enforceability of the second lien loan documents or any guaranty thereunder or failure of the second lien loan documents or any guaranty thereunder to be in full force and effect; and a change in control of CVG. All provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to an intercreditor agreement among the agent under the Loan and Security Agreement, the agent under the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the collateral agent for the third lien notes and an intercreditor agreement among the collateral agent for the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the collateral agent for the third lien notes (the “Intercreditor Agreements”).
Amounts outstanding under the second lien term loan may be prepaid from time to time after the first anniversary of August 4, 2009, when accompanied by prepayment premium equal to (a) 7.5% of the accreted value of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs after August 4, 2010 but on or before August 4, 2011, (b) 3.75% of the accreted value of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs after August 4, 2011 but on or before August 4, 2012, and (c) 0% of the accreted value of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs after August 4, 2012 without penalty or premium.
In addition, within five business days of certain permitted asset dispositions or receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds, CVG must apply the net proceeds (in the case of asset dispositions) to prepay the term loan, except that the proceeds do not have to be used to prepay the term loan if they are used to acquire property that is useful in CVG’s

business within 180 days of receipt of such proceeds but only if no default exists at that time and if the property so acquired will be free of liens, other than permitted liens. All provisions regarding voluntary and mandatory prepayments are subject to the Intercreditor Agreements.
Notes Exchange
On August 4, 2009, we announced a private exchange with certain holders of our 8% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “8% senior notes”) pursuant to an exchange agreement, dated as of August 4, 2009, by and between us, certain of our subsidiaries and the exchanging noteholders. Pursuant to the exchange agreement, we exchanged approximately $52.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 8% senior notes due 2013 for units consisting of (i) approximately $42.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s new 11%/13% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 (the “third lien notes”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 745,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.35.
Interest is payable on the third lien notes on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2010 until their maturity date of February 15, 2013. We are required to pay interest entirely in pay-in-kind interest (“PIK interest”), by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the third lien notes, on the first interest payment date on February 15, 2010, at an annual rate of 13.0%. We may, at our option, elect to pay interest in cash, at an annual rate of 11.0%, or in PIK interest, at an annual rate of 13.0%, on the interest payment dates on August 15, 2010 and February 15, 2011. After February 15, 2011, we will be required to make all interest payments entirely in cash, at an annual rate of 11.0%.
The indenture governing the third lien notes provides that the third lien notes are senior secured obligations. Our obligations under the third lien notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. Our obligations under the third lien notes are secured by a third-priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, and a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by a domestic subsidiary. The liens, the security interests and all of our obligations under the third lien notes are subject in all respects to the terms, provisions, conditions and limitations of the intercreditor agreements.
The indenture governing the third lien notes contains restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: incur additional debt; pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase capital stock; restrict dividends or other payments of subsidiaries; make investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries.
The indenture governing the third lien notes provides for events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants or other agreements in the indenture governing the third lien notes, defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and certain defaults with respect to the security documents. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding third lien notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the third lien notes to be due and payable. All provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to the Intercreditor Agreements.
The third lien notes may be redeemed from time to time on or after February 15, 2011, at the following redemption prices (a) 111% of the principal amount if such redemption occurs on or after February 15, 2011 but prior to August 15, 2011, (b) 105.5% of the principal amount if such redemption occurs on or after August 15, 2011 but prior to August 15, 2012, and (c) 100% of the principal amount if such redemption occurs on or after August 15, 2012. In addition, we may be required to make an offer to purchase the third lien notes in certain circumstances described in the indenture governing the third lien notes, including in connection with a change in control.
8% Senior Notes due 2013
The 8% senior notes due 2013 are senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured obligations. The 8% senior notes due 2013 are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries.

37


Table of Contents

The indenture governing the 8% senior notes contain covenants that limit, among other things, additional indebtedness, issuance of preferred stock, dividends, repurchases of capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, investments, liens, restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, sales of assets, sale/leaseback transactions, mergers and transactions with affiliates. Upon a change of control, each holder shall have the right to require that we purchase such holder’s securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 8% senior notes also contains customary events of default.
Covenants and Liquidity
We continue to operate in a challenging economic environment, and our ability to comply with the covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement may be affected in the future by economic or business conditions beyond our control. Based on our current forecast, we believe that we will be able to maintain compliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant , the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant or the minimum availability requirement, if applicable, and other covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement for the next twelve months; however, no assurances can be given that we will be able to comply. We base our forecasts on historical experience, industry forecasts and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. If actual results are substantially different than our current forecast, or if we do not realize a significant portion of our planned cost savings or generate sufficient cash, we could be required to comply with our financial covenants, and there is no assurance that we would be able to comply with such financial covenants. If we do not comply with the financial and other covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement, and we are unable to obtain necessary waivers or amendments from the lender, we would be precluded from borrowing under the Loan and Security Agreement, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity. If we are unable to borrow under the Loan and Security Agreement, we will need to meet our capital requirements using other sources. Due to current economic conditions, alternative sources of liquidity may not be available on acceptable terms if at all. In addition, if we do not comply with the financial and other covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement, the lender could declare an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement, and our indebtedness thereunder could be declared immediately due and payable, which would also result in an event of default under the second lien term loan, the third lien notes and the 8% senior notes. Any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity.
We believe that cash flow from operating activities together with available borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated working capital, planned capital spending and debt service requirements for the current year. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case.
Update on Contractual Obligations
At September 30, 2009, we have provided a liability for $2.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to various income tax positions. However, the net obligation to taxing authorities was $2.5 million. The difference relates primarily to receivables based on future amended returns. We do not expect a significant tax payment related to these obligations within the next year.

When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to us at the time such statements were made. Various economic and competitive factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements, including factors which are outside of our control, such as risks relating to: (i) general economic or business conditions affecting the markets in which we serve; (ii) our ability to develop or successfully introduce new products; (iii) risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries and currencies; (iv) increased competition in the heavy-duty truck or construction market; (v) the impact of changes made by governmental regulations on our customers or on our business; (vi) the loss of business from a major customer or the discontinuation of particular commercial vehicle platforms; (vii) our ability to obtain future financing due to changes in the lending markets or our financial position; (viii) our ability to comply with the financial covenants in our revolving credit facility; and (ix) various other risks as outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal period ending March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009.

There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risk since December 31, 2008.
ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as other key members of our management. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2009.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.
