NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. | Basis of reporting for consolidated financial statements |
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company, we, us, or our) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the three-month period and six-month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 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, 2008.
Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 10, 2009, the date these financial statements were issued.
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, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
New Financial Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 165 In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 2009 subject to certain restrictions. The Company did not elect early adoption in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and, therefore, has applied the provisions of this FSP for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. See Note 14.
SFAS 141(R)In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
141(R)). This statement defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses, and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves this control. This statement also refines the application of the purchase method by requiring the acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value and replacing the cost-allocation process previously required under SFAS 141. Furthermore, acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs that are expected but not obligatory are required to be recognized separately from the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective prospectively for business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2009. There was no material impact to the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of the adoption of SFAS 141(R). However, management believes this statement could have a material impact on the Companys future financial statements depending on its acquisition plans.
In April 2009, the FASB released FSP FAS 141R-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. The FSP amends Statement No. 141R related to the accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The FSP requires that an asset or a liability arising from a contingency in a business combination be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined and provides guidance on how to make that determination. If the fair value of an asset or liability cannot be reasonably determined, the FSP requires that an asset or liability be recognized at the amount that would be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss, for liabilities and an amount using similar criteria for assets. The FSP is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. There was no material impact to the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of the adoption of SFAS 141(R)-1. However, management believes this statement could have a material impact on the Companys future financial statements depending on its acquisition plans.
EITF No. 07-05During June 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. This Issue addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entitys own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Statement 133. If an instrument (or an embedded feature) that has the characteristics of a derivative instrument under paragraphs 69 of Statement 133 is indexed to an entitys own stock, it is still necessary to evaluate whether it is classified in stockholders equity (or would be classified in stockholders equity if it were a freestanding instrument). Other applicable authoritative accounting literature, including Issues EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company Own Stock, and EITF 05-2, The Meaning of Conventional Debt Instrument in Issue No. 00-19, provides guidance for determining whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is classified in stockholders equity (or would be classified in stockholders equity if it were a freestanding instrument). This Issue did not have a material impact to the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon its effective date.
FSP 142-3 In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 provides guidance on the determination of useful lives of intangible assets in accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. For intangible assets acquired after the effective date, a company is not

required to consider renewal or extension at substantial cost or with material modification of existing terms to be factors that limit the useful life of the asset. Rather the Company must consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements. FSP 142-3 became effective on January 1, 2009 and did not have a material impact to the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
FSP EITF 03-6-1 In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 concludes that non-vested shares with non-forfeitable dividend rights are considered participating securities and, thus, subject to the two-class method pursuant to SFAS 128, Earnings per Share, when computing basic and diluted EPS. FSP EITF 03-6-1 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. Because the Companys Restricted Share awards contain non-forfeitable dividend rights, the provisions of this FSP must be applied. Upon adoption, the Company was required to adjust all prior period EPS data on a retrospective basis to conform with the provisions of this FSP. Due to the net loss incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Companys previously-reported basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, and earnings (loss) per share, for this period were not affected by the adoption of this FSP. There is no impact on previously reported basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for any reported period during 2008 or for the year ended December 31, 2007. Periods prior to 2007 were not impacted as the Company had not issued Restricted Share awards in such periods. The impact on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the remaining quarters and year to date periods in 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007 is as follows:
Basic Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding |

SFAS 157Effective January 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 applies to most current accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value methods and inputs by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used by management to measure and report amounts at fair value.
The Company had only partially applied the provisions of SFAS 157 as management elected the deferral provisions of FASB

Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 157-2 as it applies to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. FSP SFAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) until January 1, 2009 for the Company. The major categories of assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain amounts of property and equipment, intangibles and goodwill reported at fair value as a result of impairment testing, and certain other assets, liabilities and equity instruments recognized as a result of prior business combinations. There was no impact to the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of the adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS 167On June 12, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published two new accounting standards (Statement of Financial Accounting Standard [SFAS] 166 and SFAS 167) that determine whether securitizations and other transfers of financial instruments are given off-balance sheet treatment. The revisions to the standards, expected to be effective January 1, 2010 for issuers with calendar year ends, will result in many existing off-balance sheet securitizations being treated as secured financing and returning on-balance sheet. SFAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, will amend SFAS 140 and SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46(R), will amend FIN 46(R). The adoption of SFAS 167 will not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 168In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 168 will become the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, superseding existing accounting literature. While not intended to change U.S. GAAP, the Codification significantly changes the way in which accounting literature is organized. SFAS 168 is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, because the Codification completely replaces existing standards, it will affect the way U.S. GAAP are disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.
FSP 132(R)-1In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. FSP 132(R)-1 amends FASB Statement No. 132 (Revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits to provide guidance on an employers disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The disclosure requirements addressed by FSP 132(R)-1 provide for greater transparency surrounding the types of assets and associated risks in a plan, events in the economy and markets that could have a significant effect on the value of plan assets, and information about fair value measurements similar to those required by SFAS 157. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

6. | Business Segment Information |
Our structure and operational integration results in one reportable 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 consolidated financial statements herein reflect the operating results of the reportable segment.
7. | Earnings Per Share |
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. As a result of the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1, non-vested shares with non-forfeitable dividend rights are considered participating securities and, thus, subject to the two-class method pursuant to SFAS 128, Earnings per Share, when computing basic and diluted EPS. Losses are only allocable to participating securities if the holder has the contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company as further defined in EITF 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128. The Companys restricted stock awards contain non-forfeitable dividend rights but do not contractually obligate the holders to share in losses of the Company. Accordingly, during periods of net income, unvested restricted shares are included in the determination of both basic and diluted earnings per share. During periods of net loss, these shares are excluded from both basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, 102,022 non-vested restricted share awards were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to the reported net loss for the periods. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the weighted average number of non-vested restricted share awards which were included in the basic weighted average common shares outstanding totaled 138,519 and 138,264, respectively. We consider outstanding options and warrants in computing diluted net income per share only when they are dilutive. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, 1,283,105 and 485,000, respectively, outstanding options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, pursuant to the if-converted method, net income used for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the net impact of interest and other items related to the Convertible Subdebt Note (see Note 8) unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The net impact of interest and other items related to the convertible Subdebt Note for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was income of approximately $73,000 and $99,000, respectively. Because of an anti-dilutive effect, net income (loss) was not adjusted for this net impact for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. The convertible Subdebt Note was not outstanding during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and, accordingly, there was no adjustment to net income for the diluted earnings per share computation for those periods.
8. | Debt |
Total bank debt at June 30, 2009 was $9.6 million and $22.6 million at December 31, 2008. The bank debt at June 30, 2009 includes $6.8 million due on the revolving line of credit. Unused credit availability under our $30.0 million revolving line of credit at June 30, 2009 was $1.6 million. Availability is limited as determined by a borrowing base formula contained in the credit agreement.

We entered into our current credit facility (the Bank Facility) on December 29, 2005 with Fifth Third Bank. The Bank Facility was amended on various dates and fees paid for these amendments were deferred and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Bank Facility.
On May 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Bank Facility effective as of March 31, 2009. The Amendment amends the Bank Facility to extend the termination date of the line of credit from January 31, 2010 to April 1, 2011, make certain changes to the interest rates applicable to the obligations under the Bank Facility, including the implementation of a daily reset, one-month LIBOR-based rate and the unavailability of a prime-based rate except in certain circumstances, which results in an increase of the borrowing rates by one percent, consent to a one-time payment of principal on the Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note of Icarus Investment Corp. in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000, and consent to an extension fee of CAD $38,000 payable to Icarus.
As of June 30, 2009, the Bank Facility, as amended, includes a revolving line of credit of up to $30 million, including letters of credit, limited to a borrowing base amount computed as 70% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventories. The loan covenants currently require a ratio of funded debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) of not greater than 3.2 to 1.0, a ratio of fixed charges to adjusted EBITDA of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 and a requirement to attain $5.0 million of loan availability on or before June 1, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, we are in compliance with all covenants.
Interest on the outstanding borrowings is charged at the daily LIBOR rate plus 3.5% or the tranche LIBOR rate plus 3.0% for the revolver and the daily LIBOR rate plus 3.75% or the tranche LIBOR rate plus 3.25% for the term note. The weighted average interest rate under the Bank Facility as of June 30, 2009 was 3.95%.
On August 14, 2008, the Company issued a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (the Convertible Subdebt Note) in the amount of Canadian $5,000,000 to Icarus Investment Corp., an Ontario corporation (Icarus), which is controlled by Phillip DeZwirek, our Chairman and CEO, and Jason DeZwirek, our Secretary and one of our Directors. The Convertible Subdebt Note provides for interest to accrue at the rate of 10% per annum in 2008, 11% per annum in 2009, and 12% per annum commencing January 1, 2010 until paid. The holder of the Convertible Subdebt Note may convert at any time, the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Subdebt Note into common stock of the Company at a per share price of $4.75, which was the closing consolidated bid price immediately preceding the entering into of the Convertible Subdebt Note. The Convertible Subdebt Note was amended in February 2009 to provide for interest payments to be payable monthly, instead of semi-annually, subject to the Subordination Agreement between Fifth Third Bank and Icarus Investment Corp. The Convertible Subdebt Note was further amended on May 1, 2009 to extend its maturity date to October 1, 2011 from July 31, 2010. Fees of Canadian $38,000 were paid for this amendment and are being deferred and amortized over the remaining term of the Subdebt. The Convertible Subdebt Note also matures in the event of a merger or reorganization of the Company that results in a change of control, upon the sale of 50% of the assets of the Company, or any sale of any division of the Company in excess of $5 million. To the extent that the Company completes an equity financing in excess of $10 million, 25% of the amounts in excess of the $10 million are required to be used

to repay the Convertible Subdebt Note, provided that the Company is not in default under the Bank Facility. We repaid Canadian $3,726,000 under the Convertible Subdebt Note on March 31, 2009 and the outstanding balance of the Convertible Subdebt Note at June 30, 2009, as translated into U.S. dollars was $1.1 million. A foreign exchange translation loss of $82,550 was recognized during the quarter as other expense.
On May 15, 2009, the Company issued a Promissory Note (Note) to Icarus in the amount of $3,000,000. The Note, which is subordinated to the Companys Facility with Fifth Third, bears interest at 12% per annum with interest payable monthly. The maturity date of the note is the earlier of May 15, 2012 or six months after repayment of the Bank Facility. The Note also matures in the event of a merger or reorganization of the Company that results in a change of control, upon the sale of 50% of the assets of the Company, or any sale of any division of the Company in excess of $5 million. To the extent that the Company completes an equity financing in excess of $10 million, 25% of the amount in excess of the $10 million is required to be used to repay the Note, provided that the Company is not in default under its Bank Facility. At the option of Icarus, the note is repayable in Canadian funds with a stated conversion rate of 1.1789, or CAD $3,536,700, representing the conversion rate at the issuance date of the Note. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, this option has been bifurcated and recorded at fair value. The liability of $0.1 million is included in the corresponding debt balance in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. Gains and losses resulting from the revaluation of this liability are included in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company may repay the Note at any time with no prepayment penalty. The outstanding balance of the Note at June 30, 2009, was $3.1 million in U.S. dollars and the total subordinated debt was $4.2 million in U.S. dollars.

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter decreased 41.6% or $23.9 million to $33.5 million in 2009 compared to $57.4 million in 2008. Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2009 were $73.3 million, a decrease of $31.0 million or 29.7% compared to $104.3 million in 2008. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due to the weak economy which resulted in a 57% decrease in contracting revenues, a 34% decrease in equipment revenues and a 27% decrease in parts sales. The comparative six month decrease in net sales was also attributable to significant decreases in all groups although to a lesser degree because of an increase in equipment sales in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the same quarter in 2008. Equipment group customers in power and refining have not been as adversely affected by the weak economy.
Orders booked were $32.7 million during the second quarter of 2009 and $67.7 million for the first six months of 2009, as compared to $54.1 million during the second quarter of 2008 and $106.9 million in the first half of 2008.
Second quarter 2009 gross profit was $7.6 million. This compares to gross profit of $10.5 million during the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, increased by 4.4 percentage points to 22.7% compared with 18.3% for the comparable period in 2008. This anticipated increase was primarily the result of an increase in the proportion of sales of higher margin equipment and component parts to total sales. The equipment group sales, before intercompany eliminations, were 57.5% of total sales for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 49.2% of total sales for the second quarter of 2008 and the component parts sales, before intercompany eliminations, were 9.2% of total sales for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 7.1% sales for the second quarter of 2008. Additionally, gross margin percentages in equipment sales, contracting and parts sales also increased in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008.
Gross profit was $16.3 million for the first six months of 2009, a decrease of $.5 million compared to $16.8 million for the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first six months of 2009 increased to 22.2% compared to 16.1% for the same period in 2008. This increase was the result of the same factors described for the second quarter as well as the fact that the six month 2008 gross profit percentage was lower due to the impact of significant ongoing costs incurred on a large project caused by customer scope changes and site conditions.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 2.5%, from $8.0 million to $7.8 million during the second quarter and increased by $0.5 million, or 3.3%, from $14.8 million to $15.3 million during the first six months of 2009 compared to 2008. The three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 reflect additional selling and administrative expenses of entities acquired during 2008, approximating $0.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and a $300,000 non-cash charge to increase the allowance for bad debts during the second quarter of 2009. These increases were offset by significant reductions in selling and administrative wages and fringes due to staff reductions of $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods in 2008. The addition to the allowance for bad debts was due to an increase in the percentage of past due accounts as a percentage of the total receivables. None of these past due accounts relate to the automotive industry and our outstanding receivables related to the auto industry have been significantly reduced through collection.
Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of sales increased from 13.9% to 23.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and increased from 14.2% to 20.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the overall decline in sales volume as well as the increase to the allowance for bad debts during the second quarter of 2009.
Amortization expense decreased by $226,000 to $166,000 during the second quarter of 2009 from $392,000 in the same period of 2008 and decreased by $127,000 to $479,000 in the first six months of 2009 from $606,000 in the same period of 2008. These decreases were the result of certain definite life intangibles related to earlier acquisitions becoming fully amortized.
Operating loss was $(0.4) million in the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of $2.5 million compared to operating income of $2.1 million during the same quarter of 2008. Operating loss as a percent of sales in the second quarter of 2009 was (1.2%) compared to operating income of 3.7% for the same period in 2008.
Operating income for the first six months of 2009 was $0.5 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to operating income of $1.3 million during the same period of 2008. Operating income as a percent of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 0.7% compared to 1.2% for the same period in 2008.
Low sales volume was the primary factor for the decreases in operating income and operating margin percentages.
Other expense of $261,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 consists of losses on foreign currency translations and revaluation of the embedded derivative on the subordinated debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, other expense of $172,000 consisted of foreign currency translation losses and revaluation of the embedded derivative on the subordinated debt.
Interest expense decreased by $0.1 million from $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 to $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2009. Interest expense increased slightly to $0.7 million during the first six months of 2009 compared to $0.6 million during the first six months of 2008. The decrease for the quarter was due primarily to lower borrowings on the Companys credit facility offset by higher interest rates on the facility which was amended effective March 31, 2009 and an additional $0.1million charge to interest expense resulting from a state sales tax audit. The six month period was affected by the same factors.

Federal and state income tax benefit was $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2009 compared to expense of $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2008. Federal and state income tax benefit was $0.1 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to a tax expense of $0.3 million in 2008. The federal and state income tax provision for the first six months of 2009 was 35%, which reflects the estimated effective tax rate for 2009. Our statutory income tax rate is affected by certain permanent differences including income or expense for market valuation of warrants, non-deductible interest expense related to the subordinated debt and non-deductible expense related to incentive stock options.
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $0.6 million compared with net income of $1.0 million for the same period in 2008. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.3 million compared with a net income of $0.5 million for the same period in 2008.
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, 2009, was $62.4 million compared to $68.0 million as of December 31, 2008. 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 contracts profitability.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.1million and $1.2 million 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, 2009 was $9.6 million versus $22.6 million at December 31, 2008. The bank debt at June 30, 2009 includes $6.8 million due on the revolving line of credit. Unused credit availability under our $30.0 million revolving line of credit at June 30, 2009 was $1.6 million. Availability is limited as determined by a borrowing base formula contained in the credit agreement.
On May 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement effective as of March 31, 2009. The Amendment amends the Bank Facility to extend the termination date of the line of credit from January 31, 2010 to April 1, 2011, make certain changes to the interest rates applicable to the obligations under the Bank Facility, including the implementation of a

daily reset, one-month LIBOR-based rate and the unavailability of a prime-based rate except in certain circumstances, which results in an increase of the borrowing rates by one percent, consent to a one-time payment of principal on the Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note of Icarus Investment Corp. in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000, and consent to an extension fee of CAD $38,000 payable to Icarus.
As of June 30, 2009, the Bank Facility, as amended, includes a revolving line of credit of up to $30 million, including letters of credit, limited to a borrowing base amount computed as 70% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventories. The loan covenants currently require a ratio of funded debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) of not greater than 3.2 to 1.0, a ratio of fixed charges to adjusted EBITDA of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 and a requirement to attain $5.0 million of loan availability on or before June 1, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, we are in compliance with all covenants.
Interest on the outstanding borrowings is charged at the daily LIBOR rate plus 3.5% or the tranche LIBOR rate plus 3.0% for the revolving credit line and the daily LIBOR rate plus 3.75% or the tranche LIBOR rate plus 3.25% for the term note. The weighted average interest rate under the Bank Facility as of June 30, 2009 was 3.95%.
On August 14, 2008, the Company issued the Convertible Subdebt Note in the amount of Canadian $5,000,000 to Icarus. The Convertible Subdebt Note provides for interest to accrue at the rate of 10% per annum in 2008, 11% per annum in 2009, and 12% per annum commencing January 1, 2010 until paid. The holder of the Convertible Subdebt Note may convert at any time, the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Note into common stock of the Company at a per share price of $4.75, which was the closing consolidated bid price immediately preceding the entering into of the Convertible Subdebt Note. The Convertible Subdebt Note was amended in February 2009 to provide for interest payments to be payable monthly, instead of semi-annually, subject to the Subordination Agreement between Fifth Third Bank and Icarus Investment Corp. The Convertible Subdebt Note was further amended on May 1, 2009 to extend its maturity date to October 1, 2011 from July 31, 2010. Fees of Canadian $38,000 were paid for this amendment and are being deferred and amortized over the remaining term of the subdebt. The Convertible Subdebt Note also matures in the event of a merger or reorganization of the Company that results in a change of control, upon the sale of 50% of the assets of the Company, or any sale of any division of the Company in excess of $5 million. To the extent that the Company completes an equity financing in excess of $10 million, 25% of the amounts in excess of the $10 million are required to be used to repay the Convertible Subdebt Note, provided that the Company is not in default under the Bank Facility. The outstanding balance of the Convertible Subdebt Note at June 30, 2009, as translated into U.S. dollars, was $1.1 million.
On May 15, 2009, the Company issued a Promissory Note (Note) to Icarus in the amount of $3,000,000. The Note, which is subordinated to the Companys Bank Facility with Fifth Third, bears interest at 12% per annum with interest payable monthly. The maturity date of the note is the earlier of May 15, 2012 or six months after repayment of the facility. The Note also matures in the event of a merger or reorganization of the Company that results in a change of control, upon the sale of 50% of the assets of the Company, or any sale of any division of the Company in excess of $5 million. To the extent that the Company completes an equity financing in excess of $10 million, 25% of the amount in excess of the $10 million is required to be used to repay the Note, provided that the Company is not in default under its Bank Facility with its senior lender. At the option of Icarus, the note is repayable in Canadian funds with a stated conversion rate of 1.1789, or CAD $3,536,700, representing the conversion rate at the issuance date of the Note. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, this option has been bifurcated and recorded at fair value. The liability of $0.1 million is included in the corresponding debt balance in the Companys

condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. Gains and losses resulting from the revaluation of this liability are included in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company may repay the note at any time with no prepayment penalty. The outstanding balance of the Note at June 30, 2009, was $3.1 million in U.S. dollars and the total subordinated debt was $4.2 million in U.S. dollars.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.8 million in 2009 compared to cash provided by operating activities in 2008 of $1.7 million. Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2009 was primarily the result of a net loss of $0.3 million, non cash depreciation and amortization expense of $1.3 million, non cash compensation expense for stock awards of $0.5 million, non cash bad debt expense of $0.3 million, a decrease of $29.0 million in accounts receivable, decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and estimated earnings of $2.9 million and a decrease in inventories of $0.6 million offset by an decrease in accounts payable of $17.5 million, a decrease in accrued income taxes of $2.2 million and a decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings of $1.1 million. Other changes in working capital items provided cash of $0.1 million. Our net investment in working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and current portion of debt) at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $13.3 million and $25.1 million, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.8 million for the first six months of 2009 compared with $16.6 million for the same period in 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used for the acquisition of FKI, which was financed by additional borrowings on the Companys credit facility, amounted to $15.3 million. We are managing our capital expenditure spending in light of the current level of sales. We anticipate lower capital spending in 2009, which will be funded with cash provided by operating activities and additional borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
Financing activities used cash of $13.0 million during the first six months of 2009 compared with cash provided by financing activities of $15.2 million during the same period of 2008. This consisted of repayments on the credit facility of $11.5 million and payments on term debt of $1.5 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 Bank Facility bear interest at the floating rates as described in Note 8.
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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, such officers have concluded that these controls and procedures are not effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in ensuring that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. This conclusion was based on the existence of a material weakness in our Entity-level Controls as further disclosed in Item 9A (Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ) in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The Company is in the process of developing and implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness described above. The Company has taken and/or plans on taking the following actions to improve internal control over financial reporting:
The Internal Audit division, with senior management input, is in the process of identifying, documenting, and testing key controls. An on-going, sustainable process is currently being developed which will encompass significant operating units throughout the Company.
The Company plans to continue to enhance the staffing and competency level within the Finance division.
We have engaged three third party professionals to advise the Company in connection with (1) the remediation of existing deficiencies including the conversion to a new information technology enterprise management system, (2) SEC related activities including accounting guidance and periodic reporting, and (3) all tax related activities.
In addition, the following are specific remedial actions to be taken for matters related to accounting for significant or non-routine transactions:
In addition to the review performed by the Companys management, implement an additional review by subject matter experts for complex accounting estimates and accounting treatments, where appropriate.
Continue to develop and implement focused monitoring controls and other procedures in the Internal Audit organization.
Continue to develop and implement effective communications of and education on a control framework and effectively communicate managements expectations for controls, and business process owners accountability for controls.
Require all significant or non-routine transactions to be thoroughly researched, analyzed, approved at the appropriate level, and documents by qualified accounting personnel. In addition, all major transactions will require the additional review and approval of the Chief Financial Officer.
The Company has developed and implemented an approval policy requiring Board of Directors approval of all major agreements and contracts prior to acceptance. Additionally, improved methods of documentation, including minutes and transcripts, and retention of such documents has been established.
25
Table of Contents
The Company will develop a formal policy requiring proper approval for sales contracts less than $50,000.
Lastly, we are in the process of implementing an integrated IT system, which is expected to be operational during the current year. Effective controls over end user computing applications are inherent in the system. Access to programs will be designed in the system with access privileges to be consistent with job responsibilities. System database access will also be restricted to mitigate segregation of duties issues. When segregation of duties issues cannot be addressed systematically, compensating controls will be designed and implemented.
We anticipate the actions described above and resulting improvements in controls will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and will, over time, address the material weakness identified as of December 31, 2008. However, because the remedial actions relate to the hiring of additional personnel and many of the controls in our system of internal controls rely extensively on manual review and approval, the successful operation of these new controls for at least several quarters may be required prior to management being able to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated.
The Company is committed to continuing to improve its internal control processes and will continue to review its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As management continues to evaluate and work to improve the Companys controls, additional control deficiencies may be identified. Further, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies.
Other than as described above, there have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
