The Company is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from five (5) additional locations in the U.S. for manufacturing, centralized distribution, engineering, sales and administration. We have two reportable segments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2019: Transmission and Distribution Solutions (“T&D Solutions”) and Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”). Sale of Transformer Business Units On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Electrogroup Canada, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Electrogroup”), Jefferson Electric, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Jefferson”), JE Mexican Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“JE Mexico,” and together with Electrogroup and Jefferson, the “Disposed Companies”), Nathan Mazurek (Chief Executive Officer of the Company), Pioneer Transformers L.P. (the “US Buyer”) and Pioneer Acquireco ULC (the “Canadian Buyer,” and together with the US Buyer, the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell (i) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Electrogroup to the Canadian Buyer and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Jefferson and JE Mexico to the US Buyer (the “Equity Transaction”), for a purchase price of $68.0 million. Included in the purchases price, the Company received two subordinated promissory notes, issued by the Buyer, in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million and $2.5 million, for a total aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million. The Company has revalued the notes for an appropriate imputed interest rate, resulting in a reduction to the value of the notes at September 30, 2019 of $942, for a carrying value of $6.6 million, which is included within other long term assets as of September 30, 2019. After certain adjustments and expenses of sale, the Company received net consideration from the sale of $48.5 million. The transaction was consummated on August 16, 2019. Pioneer sold to the Buyer all of the assets and liabilities associated with its liquid-filled transformer and dry-type transformer manufacturing businesses within the Company’s T&D Solutions segment. Pioneer Power retained its switchgear manufacturing business within the T&D Solutions segment, as well as all of the operations associated with its Critical Power segment. Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and reflect the accounts of the Company as of September 30, 2019. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading to the reader. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements have been included.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a year-end balance sheet. All dollar amounts (except share and per share data) presented in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted. Amounts may not foot due to rounding. These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results of the liquid-filled and dry-type transformer manufacturing businesses have been previously included in the T&D Segment, which have now been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6 – Discontinued Operations in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q. Unless noted otherwise, discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the risk factors under the heading “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the risk factors and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Liquidity The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has retained earnings of $2.5 million and has working capital of $2.7 million. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had no debt and $13.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions. As further discussed in Note 11 - Debt in Part I of this Form 10-Q all outstanding amounts under our credit facilities were paid in full on August 16, 2019, using proceeds from the Equity Transaction, and the underlying debt agreements were terminated. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019 the Company declared a cash dividend of approximately $12 million in aggregate which was subsequently enjoined by ruling of the courts in connection with the litigation with Myers Power Products, Inc., (see Note 16). As a result of the court order, the cash dividend was cancelled by the Company during the fourth quarter of 2019. Excluding the dividend payable the Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand to fund ongoing operations for no less than 12 months from the issuance of this report. However, the timing and amount of future dividends could require the Company to seek capital funding to support its ongoing operations as the Company’s historical credit arrangements were terminated in connection with the Equity Transaction.
