Each month's equipment sale volumes are expressed as a percentage of the total original equipment cost ("OEC") sold in the highest volume month, with December '11 representing 100%, (e.g. total OEC sold in March '11 was approximately 80% of total OEC sold in December '11). Actual sale $ volume is illustrated as the blue component of each bar in the graph. The recovery (i.e. sales $ as a percentage of OEC sold) is indicated within the bar for each month (e.g. March '11 sales $ recovery was 44.0% of total OEC sold). *Measured by OEC $ The Dirty Dozen - UCC filings on 12 earthmoving units.
