Hi Jet, If I read this right we have (i) Essex Crane being sold at auction so that value is probably gone and (ii) Coast Crane apparently doing quite well and could sell today for more... login to read the rest view available tags

Shoobity, Generally, infrastructure spend should be a positive thing for the Essex Crane subsidiary – infrastructure is the primary use for crawler cranes. However, our due diligence was more focused on asset values than on the... login to read the rest view available tags

Dali – the quick answer is that we talked to management. When we initially did our write-up, there was much less segment detail publicly shared, so we made some assumptions about OLV and debt allocations. Now,... login to read the rest view available tags

Thanks for the colour. How did you arive at $101m OLV for Coast Crane? As per your write-up it was at $83.6m (+$10m for other assets). Was there an upwards revalaution of Coastal assets? view available tags

Thanks for the note, Dali. We thought the recent results gave some signs for optimism – building demand is up, performance is stronger on gross margin and the SG&A cuts haven’t hit the P&L yet.... login to read the rest 1 view available tags

Hi Whopper, Thanks for the kind words. No significant new thoughts right now. Our general point of view remains the same from the last time that we posted on ESSX. Re: the COO, he did not resign... login to read the rest view available tags

Hi Shoobity. Our key thoughts are still the same – NOLV after debt repayment is considerably higher than equity value and the bank syndicate is unlikely to foreclose in the near-term. We spoke with a... login to read the rest view available tags

Hi Shoobity. We are not credit experts, but our take on your questions: You are correct – we do not believe the Essex unit is able to cover interest expense at the default rate. We think... login to read the rest view available tags

Thanks Jet. A few questions: 1. Wells' move makes sense in that regard but it would appear there is no way they can afford the interest rate jump which should be $4-$5M more in interest on... login to read the rest view available tags

Hi Jet, Just saw this come across the board. I had thought they had renegotiated this already but I guess not. Is this a significant concern in your opinion? http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1373988/000137398815000133/essx-20150623x8k.htm 2 view available tags
