NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. | Basis of reporting for condensed consolidated financial statements and significant accounting policies. |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company, we, us, or our) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the three-month period and six-month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company adopted Financial Interpretation (FIN) 48 as of January 1, 2007, and has identified accounting for uncertain tax positions under this guidance as a critical accounting policy. Considering tax laws of the multiple jurisdictions in which we operate, we assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination and through any litigation and measure the largest amount of the benefit that is likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Consistent with our practice prior to adoption of FIN 48, we record related interest expense and penalties, if any, as a tax provision expense. Actual results may differ substantially from our estimates.
2. | New Accounting Standards |
FIN 48In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 included recognition of a liability for unrecognized tax obligations of $653,000, which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit. The Company recognizes penalties and interest, if any, related to unrecognized tax obligations as a tax provision expense. Actual results may differ substantially from our estimates. Additional details about the adoption of FIN 48 are provided in Note 11.
SFAS 157In September 2006 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value

measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating SFAS No. 157.
SFAS 159In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value in an effort to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The standard, which will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008, is currently under evaluation by the Companys management. At this time, we do not expect to elect the fair value option for any eligible items and did not early adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2007 as permitted.

5. | Business Segment Information |
Our structure and operational integration results in one segment that focuses on engineering, designing, building and installing systems that remove airborne contaminants from industrial facilities, as well as equipment that controls emissions from such facilities. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements herein reflect the operating results of the segment.
6. | Earnings Per Share |
For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, basic weighted average common shares outstanding were 13,000,124 and 11,225,038, respectively, while diluted average common shares outstanding were 13,577,836 and 12,881,584, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, basic weighted average common shares outstanding were 12,251,694 and 11,070,131, respectively while diluted average common shares outstanding were 12,848,505 and 12,659,750, respectively. We consider outstanding options and warrants in computing diluted net income per share only when they are dilutive. Options to purchase 45,000 shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their exercise price being greater than the market price of the stock.
7. | Debt |
Total bank debt at June 30, 2007 was $1.6 million and $10.6 million at December 31, 2006. The bank debt at June 30, 2007 consists of $1.6 million due on the revolving line of credit. Unused credit availability under our $20.0 million revolving line of credit at June 30, 2007 was $16.4 million. Availability is limited as determined by a borrowing base formula contained in the credit agreement.
We obtained a new credit facility (the Bank Facility) on December 29, 2005. The credit agreement was entered into by CECO Environmental Corp., its subsidiaries and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation (Fifth Third Bank). On June 8, 2006 we amended the Bank Facility pursuant to a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (Amendment). H.M. White, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CECO Group, Inc., was added as a borrower. The Amendment amended the Bank Facility by, among other things 1) extending the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from January 31, 2007 to January 31, 2009, 2) lowering the interest rate on the revolving loan and term loan from the prime rate plus 2.25% and the prime rate plus 2.0%, respectively, to either prime plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 2.75%, at our option, and 3) establishing an incentive pricing grid pegged to performance.
We further amended the Bank Facility pursuant to a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment) dated February 28, 2007. Effox, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CECO Group, Inc., (Effox) was added as a borrower. The Second Amendment amended the Bank Facility by, among other things 1) extending the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from January 31, 2009 to January 31, 2010, 2) increasing the maximum revolving loan commitment from $13.0 million to $20.0 million, and 3) adding a second term loan in the aggregate amount of $5.0 million.
In May 2007, all the outstanding subordinated debt of $5.7 million and all the outstanding term notes of $7.2 million were retired using the proceeds from a secondary offering as described in note 8. The remaining $6.0 million was applied to the revolving credit line and accrued interest.

8. | Shareholders equity |
In May 2007, we completed a secondary offering and sale of CECO common stock which consisted of 1.4 million shares of newly issued stock and 2.3 million shares sold by related party selling stockholders. The initial closing was on May 17, 2007 and the overallotment closing was on May 29, 2007. The Company received net proceeds of $14.2 million from this offering for the newly issued shares and $4.7 million from the exercise of 1.7 million related party selling shareholder warrants for a total of $18.9 million. The proceeds were used to pay off all the outstanding subordinated debt of $5.7 million and all of the outstanding term notes of $7.2 million with the remaining $6.0 million being applied to the revolving credit line and accrued interest.
9. | Employee Benefit Plans |
We sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain union employees. The plan is funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
We also sponsor a post-retirement health care plan for office employees retiring before January 1, 1990. The plan allows retirees who have attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired.
Retirement and health care plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the expense consisted of the following:

As of June 30, 2007, $225,000 has been contributed to the Pension Plan and we plan on making the balance of $345,000 during the remainder of Fiscal Year 2007.
10. | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for stock-based awards, measured at the fair value of the awards at

the grant date. The Company recognized expense of approximately $94,000 and $15,000 during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $144,000 and $29,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
11. | Income Taxes |
The Company files income tax returns in the various federal, state and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a liability for unrecognized tax obligations of $653,000, which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax obligations in income tax expense.
12. | Acquisition |
On February 28, 2007, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary CECO Acquisition Corp., purchased substantially all of the assets of Effox, Inc. (Effox). The purchase price was approximately $12.2 million, consisting of net cash paid of approximately $6.9 million and liabilities assumed of approximately $5.3 million. Additionally, the former owners of Effox are entitled to earn-out payments of up to $1.0 million upon the attainment of specified gross profit amounts through December 31, 2009.

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter increased 86.6% or $27.5 million to $59.2 million in 2007 compared to $31.7 million in 2006. Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2007 were $102.7 million, an increase of $46.6 million or 83.0% compared to $56.1 million in 2006. These increases in revenues were due primarily to an ongoing increase in contracting revenues generated by our H.M. White subsidiary, which was integrated in 2006 and additional equipment revenues generated by Effox which was acquired on March 1, 2007.
Orders booked were $63.3 million during the second quarter of 2007 and $129.5 million for the first six months of 2007, as compared to $34.9 million during the second quarter of 2006 and $70.9 million in the first half of 2006.
Second quarter 2007 gross profit was $9.9 million. This compares to gross profit of $5.6 million during the same period in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 decreased 1.0% to 16.7% compared with 17.7% for the comparable period in 2006. This anticipated decrease was primarily the result of changes in product mix.
Gross profit was $17.7 million for the first six months of 2007, an increase of $8.0 million compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first six months of 2007 remained constant at 17.3% compared to the same period in 2006.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 52.4% from $4.1 million to $6.2 million during the second quarter and increased by $4.0 million, or 55.5% from $7.2 million to $11.2 million during the first six months of 2007 compared to 2006. This increase is due primarily to the addition of administrative costs from our new Effox division coupled with increases in selling and administrative wages and incentive compensation. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of sales decreased from 12.8% to 10.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and decreased from 12.9% to 10.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $107,000 to $400,000 during the second quarter of 2007 from $293,000 in the same period of 2006 and increased by $141,000 to $726,000 in the first six months of 2007 from $585,000 in the same period of 2006.

Operating income was $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $2.1 million compared to operating income of $1.2 million during the same quarter of 2006. Operating income as a percent of sales in the second quarter of 2007 was 5.6% compared to 3.9% for the same period in 2006.
Operating income for the first six months of 2007 was $5.8 million, an increase of $3.9 million compared to operating income of $1.9 million during the same period of 2006. Operating income as a percent of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 5.6% compared to 3.4% for the same period in 2006.
Higher sales volume, partially offset by lower gross profit margin percentages from product mix changes and decreased selling and administrative costs as a percentage of sales were the primary factors for the increases in operating income and operating margin percentages.
Other income was $6,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2006. $1.3 million of this second quarter 2006 income was the result of the exercise of 248,000 warrants issued in December 2001, plus $96,000 of income created by a slight decrease in the companys stock price, which reduced the carrying value of the remaining 119,000 warrants issued in December 2001.
Other income for the first six months of 2007 was $9,000 compared to $294,000 during the same period in 2006. The other income during the first six months of 2006 reflects the net of the first quarter expense for the revaluation of warrants of $1.1 million and the second quarter income of $1.3 million created by the exercise of warrants and the revaluation of the remaining warrants in the second quarter as previously mentioned.
Interest expense increased by $634,000 from $526,000 in the second quarter of 2006 to $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2007. Interest expense increased by $621,000 to $1.7 million during the first six months of 2007 compared to $1.1 million during the first six months of 2006. The increase for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 was due primarily to the non-cash charge of $740,000 to expense the remaining discount on the subordinated notes that were retired using the proceeds from our secondary stock offering in May 2007.
Federal and state income tax provision was $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2007 compared to $526,000 during the second quarter of 2006. Federal and state income tax expense was $1.8 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to a tax expense of $307,000 in 2006. The federal and state income tax provision for the first six months of 2007 was 44%, which reflects the estimated effective tax rate for 2007. Our statutory income tax rate is affected by certain permanent differences including income or expense for market valuation of warrants and non-deductible interest expense related to the subordinated debt.
Net lncome for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $1.1 million compared with net income of $1.6 million for the same period in 2006. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.3 million compared with a net income of $826,000 for the same period in 2006.
Backlog
Our backlog consists of the amount of revenues we expect from full performance of open, signed, firm fixed price contracts that have not been completed for products and services we expect to substantially deliver within the next 12 months. Our backlog, as of June 30, 2007 was $123.9 million compared to $97.1 million as of December 31, 2006. There can be no assurances

that backlog will be replicated, increased or translated into higher revenues in the future. The success of our business depends on a multitude of factors related to our backlog and the orders secured during the subsequent period(s). Certain contracts are highly dependent on the work of contractors and other subcontractors participating in a project, over which we have no or limited control, and their performance on such project could have an adverse effect on the profitability of our contracts. Delays resulting from these contractors and subcontractors, changes in the scope of the project, weather, and labor availability also can have an effect on a contract's profitability.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The Companys principal uses of cash are operating costs, debt service, payment of interest on our outstanding senior debt, working capital and other general corporate requirements.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents totaled $586,000 and $445,000 respectively. Generally, we do not carry significant cash and cash equivalent balances because excess amounts are used to pay down our revolving line of credit.
Total bank debt at June 30, 2007 was $1.6 million and $10.6 million at December 31, 2006. The bank debt at June 30, 2007 consists of $1.6 million due on the revolving line of credit. Unused credit availability under our $20.0 million revolving line of credit at June 30, 2007 was $16.4 million. Availability is limited as determined by a borrowing base formula contained in the credit agreement.
We obtained a new credit facility (the Bank Facility) on December 29, 2005. The credit agreement was entered into by CECO Environmental Corp., its subsidiaries and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation (Fifth Third Bank). On June 8, 2006 we amended the Bank Facility pursuant to a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (Amendment). H.M. White, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CECO Group, Inc., was added as a borrower. The Amendment amended the Bank Facility by, among other things 1) extending the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from January 31, 2007 to January 31, 2009, 2) lowering the interest rate on the revolving loan and term loan from the prime rate plus 2.25% and the prime rate plus 2.0%, respectively, to either prime plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 2.75%, at our option, and 3) establishing an incentive pricing grid pegged to performance.
We further amended the Bank Facility pursuant to a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment) dated February 28, 2007. Effox, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CECO Group, Inc., (Effox) was added as a borrower. The Second Amendment amended the Bank Facility by, among other things 1) extending the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from January 31, 2009 to January 31, 2010, 2) increasing the maximum revolving loan commitment from $13.0 million to $20.0 million, and 3) adding a second term loan in the aggregate amount of $5.0 million.
In May 2007, we completed a secondary offering and sale of CECO common stock which consisted of 1.4 million shares of newly issued stock and 2.3 million shares sold by related party selling stockholders. The initial closing was on May 17, 2007 and the overallotment closing was on May 29, 2007. The Company received net proceeds of $14.2 million from this offering for the newly issued shares and $4.7 million from the exercise of 1.7 million related party selling shareholder warrants for a total of $18.9 million. The proceeds were used to pay off all the outstanding subordinated debt of $5.7 million and all of the outstanding term notes of $7.2 million with the remaining $6.0 million being applied to the revolving credit line and accrued interest.

Cash provided by operating activities was $ 3.5 million in 2007 compared to cash used in operating activities in 2006 of $4.3 million. Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2007 was primarily the result of net income of $2.3 million, non cash interest expense of $865,000, non cash depreciation and amortization expense of $726,000, non cash compensations expense for options of $144,000 and an increase of $8.6 million in accounts payable offset by an increase in costs and earnings in excess of billings of $3.6 million, a decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings of $2.7 million, an increase in inventories of $1.7 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $1.6 million and a decrease in accrued income taxes of $284,000. Other changes in working capital items provided cash of $739,000. Our net investment in working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and current portion of debt) at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $15.9 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities related to the acquisition of property and equipment was $583,000 for the first six months of 2007 compared with $447,000 for the same period in 2006. Net cash used for the acquisition of Effox, which was financed by additional borrowings on the Companys credit facility, amounted to $7.0 million. We are managing our capital expenditure spending in light of the current level of sales. As sales continue to increase in 2007, we anticipate increased capital spending which will be funded with cash provided by operating activities and additional borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Additionally, capital expenditures may be incurred depending on the ultimate disposition of our Cincinnati property.
Financing activities provided cash of $4.2 million during the first six months of 2007 compared with cash provided by financing activities of $4.8 million during the same period of 2006. Cash was also provided by additional borrowing on the credit facility of $4.2 million. In addition, approximately $14.2 million was provided by a secondary stock offering and an additional $4.7 million was provided by warrant proceeds received from selling stockholders. These proceeds were used to retire subordinated debt of $5.7 million and to reduce borrowings on our credit facility by $13.2 million.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Risk Management Activities
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk including changes in interest and raw material commodity prices. We may use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate exposures. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values of cash flows of items and transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the values of the derivatives.
Interest Rate Management
We may use interest rate swap contracts to adjust the proportion of our total debt that is subject to variable interest rates.
The remaining amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the floating rates as described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Raw Materials
The profitability of our manufactured products is affected by changing purchase prices of steel and other materials. If higher steel or other material prices cannot be passed on to our customers, operating income will be adversely affected.

The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
