NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of reporting for consolidated financial statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and its 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, condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2011 and the results of operations and of cash flows for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The 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.

During 2009, the Company discontinued the operations of its subsidiary, H.M. White, Inc. (“H.M. White”). In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Subtopic 205-20, the results of H.M. White are presented as discontinued operations for all periods in the consolidated financial statements. See footnote 16 for additional details.

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASC 715—In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-09, “Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan” which requires an employer to provide enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures about its participation in multiemployer pension plans in order to enable users of the financial statements to assess the potential future cash flow implications relating to the employer’s participation in multiemployer pension plans and to provide indicators of the financial health of all significant plans in which the employer participates. The enhanced disclosures are also intended to enable the financial statement user to access additional information that is available outside the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance is effective as of December 31, 2011 for the Company and must be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented. Although the adoption of this ASU will impact the Company’s disclosures about its participation in multiemployer pension plans, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

ASC 350—In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. This guidance permits an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as more than fifty percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test. The two-step goodwill impairment test is only required if the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ASC 220—In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The ASU is effective December 15, 2011. Although the adoption of this ASU will impact the way the Company currently reports comprehensive income, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ASC 820—In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” which generally represents clarifications of Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, but also includes certain instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The ASU is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with earlier application not permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts		(8,494	)		(7,810	)

	$	1,774		$	535

Revenues from contracts, representing the majority of our revenues, are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date compared to estimated total contract costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers contract costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Our remaining revenues are recognized when risk and title passes to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of product. Our contracts have various lengths to completion ranging from a few days to several months. We anticipate that a majority of our current contracts will be completed by year end.

Employment contracts		250		250		424		400

	$	3,313	$	2,694	$	3,499	$	2,533

We completed as of December 31, 2010 an annual impairment test for our indefinite life intangible assets. In performing these assessments, the carrying value of the asset is considered impaired if the fair value is less than the carrying value of the asset. If this occurs, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Also, as required by current accounting rules, we completed an annual impairment test as of December 31, 2010 for our goodwill. In performing these assessments, the carrying value of each reporting unit is compared to its estimated fair value, as calculated by the discounted present value of cash flow method. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its calculated implied fair value. The Company’s fourth quarter 2010 annual evaluation of goodwill did not indicate an impairment of the goodwill for any of the Company’s reporting units. All of our goodwill resides in our Engineered Equipment and Parts segment.

The fair value measurement method used in the Company’s impairment analysis utilizes a number of significant unobservable inputs or Level 3 assumptions. These assumptions include, among others, projections of our future operating results, the implied fair value of these assets using an income approach by preparing a discounted cash flow analysis and other subjective assumptions.

Amortization of finite life intangibles for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $118,000 and $118,000, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $341,000 and $378,000 respectively. Over the next five years amortization expense for these finite life intangible assets will be $83,000 for the remainder of 2011, $316,000 in 2012, $130,000 in 2013, $69,000 in 2014 and $6,000 in 2015.

7. Earnings and Dividends Per Share

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, basic weighted average common shares outstanding were 14,371,752 and 14,340,119, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, basic weighted average common shares outstanding were 14,320,188 and 14,304,554, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, diluted common shares outstanding were 17,157,305 and 17,130,767, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, diluted common shares outstanding were 17,128,215 and 14,396,965, respectively.

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The Company adopted ASC 260-10-65-2, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” Non-vested shares with non-forfeitable dividend rights are considered participating securities and, thus, subject to the two-class method pursuant to ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”, when computing basic and diluted EPS. Losses are only allocable to participating securities if the holder has a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.

Holders of our restricted stock awards participate in nonforfeitable dividend rights on a one-for-one basis with holders of common stock. Holders of these awards are not obligated to share in losses of the Company. Therefore, these share awards are included in the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share during periods of net income using the two-class method, but are excluded from such computation in periods of net loss. Should the Company declare a dividend on its common stock, the related dividend on shares of unvested restricted stock that are not expected to vest would be recorded as additional compensation expense and therefore excluded from the two-class method computations. Undistributed earnings included in the two-class method computations are allocated equally to each share of common stock outstanding, including all shares of unvested restricted common shares. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, there were no non-vested restricted share awards outstanding. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the weighted average number of non-vested restricted share awards which were included in the basic weighted average common shares outstanding totaled 1,449 and 28,468, respectively.

We consider outstanding options and warrants in computing diluted net income per share only when they are dilutive. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, 427,500 and 426,241, 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. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, 480,000 and 599,000, 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 Investor Notes (see Note 8) unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The net impact of interest and other items related to the Investor Notes for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was expense of approximately $95,000 and $285,000, respectively. Net income was adjusted by this net impact for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2,622,011 and 2,646,612 shares, respectively, were included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The net impact of interest and other items related to the Investor Notes for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 was expense of approximately $97,000 and $296,000, respectively. Net income was adjusted by this net impact for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2,700,000 shares were included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Because of an anti-dilutive effect, net income (loss) was not adjusted for this net impact for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2,700,000 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

The Company declared and paid on September 30, 2011 to common shareholders its first ever quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share. The dividend policy and the payment of cash dividends under that policy are subject to the Board of Director’s continuing determination that the dividend policy and the declaration of dividends are in the best interest of CECO’s shareholders. Future dividends and the dividend policy may be changed or cancelled at the Company’s discretion at any time.

8. Debt

Our current credit facility with Fifth Third Bank (the “Bank Facility”), as amended, includes a revolving line of credit of up to $20.0 million, including letters of credit, limited to a borrowing base amount computed as 70% of eligible accounts receivable, 50% of unbilled revenues up to $1.0 million, plus 50% of eligible inventories up to $7.5 million. No amounts were outstanding on the Bank Facility as of September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Unused credit availability under our $20.0 million revolving line of credit at September 30, 2011 was $6.7 million. 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. The weighted average interest rate under the Bank Facility as of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was 0.0% and 4.07%, respectively.

We entered into our current 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 August 6, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement effective as of June 30, 2010, which amended and restated in its entirety the Bank Facility and extended the termination date of the Line of Credit to April 1, 2013 and the term loan to April 1, 2014 (which was nonetheless paid off in 2010). The amendment and restatement also increased the limit on letters of credit from $5.0 million to $10.0 million, reset the pricing grid to level one, which temporarily increased our interest rates by 0.5% until the next pricing grid determination date of December 31, 2010, at which time the pricing level was re-determined based on the Company’s trailing twelve month fixed charge ratio to be at level three, which reduced our interest rates by 0.5% until the next determination date on December 31, 2011. No fees were paid for this amendment.

Terms of the Bank Facility, as amended, include financial covenants that require compliance at June 30, 2010 and each quarter through June 30, 2013. The maximum capital expenditures financial covenant is $2.5 million per year. The minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is 2.5:1.0 for each quarter through the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 1.25:1.0 thereafter. The maximum funded debt to EBITDA covenant is 3.0 to 1.0. Our Bank Facility also contains cross-default provisions with respect to our subordinated debt. Also, if we fail to pay (after grace periods) any other debt or lease that, individually or in the aggregate involves indebtedness in excess of $100,000, and such default gives any creditor or lessor the right to accelerate the maturity of any such indebtedness or lease payments, then absent a waiver from the lender, it would result in a default under our Bank Facility and the acceleration of the maturity of outstanding debt under our Bank Facility. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants, and expect continued compliance. In the future, if we cannot comply with the terms of the Bank Facility covenants it will be necessary for us to obtain a waiver or renegotiate our loan covenants, and there can be no assurance that such negotiations would be successful. In the event that we are not successful in obtaining a waiver or an amendment, we would be declared in default, which could cause all amounts owed to be immediately due and payable.

Our property and equipment, accounts receivable, investments and inventory serve as collateral for our bank debt. Our debt agreements contain customary covenants and events of default.

On November 26, 2009, the Company issued $10.8 million principal amount unsecured convertible subordinated promissory notes to a group of investors (the “Investor Notes”) which includes related parties: Icarus Investment Corp. ($2,200,000), Jason DeZwirek ($800,000), Jonathan Pollack ($150,000 – JMP Fam Holdings Inc.) and Harvey Sandler Revocable Trust ($800,000), which trust owns over 10% of our outstanding common stock. Interest accrues under the Investor Notes at the annual rate of 6% and is payable as of the end of each calendar quarter. Interest paid for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was $159,000 and $475,000, respectively, and $163,000 and $485,000, respectively, for the time periods in 2010. We used the proceeds of the Investor Notes to repay all of our previously existing subordinated debt in the amount of approximately $4.5 million, which debt was accruing interest at rates between 11-12%. The balance of the proceeds were available to be used for general working capital. Fees of $320,000 were paid for the issuance of this debt and are being amortized over the term of the Investor Notes. The outstanding balance of the Investor Notes at September 30, 2011 was $10.1 million.

The Investor Notes are due on November 26, 2014 and are not repayable prior to maturity except upon a change of control, or upon the consent of the holder. The outstanding principal amount of the Investor Notes or any portion thereof, but not the interest, is convertible at the holder’s option, at any time after the issuance of the Investor Notes at a conversion price of $4.00 per share, such price being greater than the Company’s share price at the date of issuance of the Investor Notes. Following three years from the date of the Investor Notes, if the closing price of the common stock of the Company is greater than $8.00 for five consecutive days, the Company can cause conversion of the Investor Notes. The outstanding balance of the Investor Notes at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $10.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively. In February 2011, $200,000 principal of the Investor Notes was converted to 50,000 shares of our common stock. In September 2011, $500,000 principal of the Investor Notes was converted to 125,000 shares of our common stock.

9. Pension and 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:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we made contributions to our defined benefit plans totaling $322,000. We anticipate contributing $85,000 to fund the pension plan during the remainder of fiscal 2011.

The funded status for our post retirement health care plan is calculated based on the projected postretirement benefit obligation.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” which 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 $151,000 and $228,000 during the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $538,000 and $790,000 for the nine month periods, respectively.

11. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in 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 2006.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $86,000. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense.

12. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss), changes in the pension and postretirement liability that do not directly impact net earnings and translation gains and losses for foreign operations. Comprehensive income of $1,910,000 included net income of $2,319,000 and a translation loss of $(409,000) for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, and comprehensive income of $769,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 included net income of $683,000 and a translation gain of $86,000.

Comprehensive income of $5,338,000 included net income of $5,530,000 and a translation loss of $(192,000) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, and comprehensive income of $1,435,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 included net income of $1,362,000 and a translation gain of $73,000.

13. Product Warranties

The Company’s warranty reserve is to cover the products sold and is principally at our Effox subsidiary. The warranty accrual is based on historical claims information. The warranty reserve is reviewed and adjusted as necessary on a quarterly basis. Warranty accrual is not significant at the Company’s other operations due to the nature of the work of including installation. The change in accrued warranty expense is summarized in the following table:

14. Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair value at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 due to their short-term nature.

Most of the debt obligations approximate their reported carrying amounts based on future payments discounted at current interest rates for similar obligations or interest rates which fluctuate with the market.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

A lawsuit was filed on September 10, 2009 in Marion County Superior Court, State of Indiana. A wrongful death claim was made by the estate of Terry David Walk for an accident that occurred in March 2008 at the worksite of a customer of the Company relating to a baghouse system. The defendants included CECO and its subsidiaries, The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company (“Kirk & Blum”), kbd/Technic, Inc., and CECO Abatement Systems, Inc., with CECO and CECO Abatement Systems, Inc. later removed as parties. The complaint contained causes of action for negligence and a cause of action for breach of implied warranties, and the complainant was asking for unspecified compensatory damages and costs. The parties settled this matter on July 11, 2011, pursuant to a Mediation Settlement Agreement, under which Kirk & Blum and kbd/Technic, Inc. agreed to pay a settlement amount. The Company’s insurance carriers have paid the agreed settlement amount and as of September 27, 2011 have closed the file on this claim. The Company’s expenses/deductible was previously accrued for this matter.

On January 13, 2011, the SEC initiated a non-public formal investigation relating to possible insider trading by affiliates of and/or the Company. We have been cooperating with and intend to continue to cooperate with the SEC. Because the matter is ongoing, we cannot predict the outcome of this formal inquiry at this time, and, as a result, no conclusion can be reached as to what impact, if any, this inquiry may have on us, our operations, or financial condition.

One of the unions, Local 24 of the Sheet Metal Workers International Association, that represented former employees of Kirk & Blum has filed a demand to bargain under its collective bargaining agreement over the decision to close our Oakley facility and the effects of any such closing in connection with the layoffs of approximately 40 union employees of Kirk & Blum in 2010. The union is requesting severance payments and other non-monetary items. The parties undertook negotiations and in January 2011, the grievance was heard by a panel of the National Joint Adjustment Board for the Sheet Metal Industry, which resulted in a deadlock. On June 21, 2011, the Company entered into a five year agreement with Sheet Metal Workers International Association, Local 24 and another local union to govern future interactions between the unions, the Company and its employees and to settle the pending demands and resolve all issues. Payments by the Company required under the agreement are not expected to be material.

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes a payment to the Company of $359,000 related to short swing trading profits that were returned to the Company by a director and affiliated shareholder.

The Company is involved in an arbitration proceeding initiated in April 2011 by William L. Heumann, Gerald J. Plappert, and Paul S. Brannick, related to the 2008 acquisition of Fisher-Klosterman Inc., in which the plaintiffs are claiming amounts owed pursuant to an earn-out provision in the purchase agreement. We believe that their claim is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the claim. The arbitration hearing is scheduled in December 2011.

The final outcome and impact of these matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. We establish accruals only for those matters where we determine that a loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As a result, we have not accrued for any liability with respect to these matters. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred. While it is currently not possible to reasonably estimate the aggregate amount of costs which we may incur in connection with these matters, such costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Accrued Severance

On September 27, 2011, Dennis W. Blazer resigned as Chief Financial Officer. Benton L. Cook, who has been with the Company since 2004, and is our current Corporate Controller, is serving as Interim Chief Financial Officer while the Board makes its final Chief Financial Officer selection. In connection with the transition agreement with Mr. Blazer, the Company recorded a $170,000 charge to income.

16. Discontinued Operations

During 2009, the Company discontinued the operations of H.M. White. The results of H.M. White are presented as discontinued operations for all periods in the consolidated financial statements. The Company did not allocate general corporate interest expense to H.M. White.

Operating results of discontinued operations are as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 reflect our operations consolidated with the operations of our subsidiaries.

We are one of the leading global providers of air-pollution control products and services. These products and services are marketed under the “Kirk & Blum”, “CECO Filters”, “CECOaire”, “Busch International”, “CECO Abatement Systems”, “kbd/Technic”, “K&B Duct”, “Effox”, “GMD”, “Fisher-Klosterman”, “Buell APC”, “Buell FCC”, “Flextor” and “A.V.C.” trade names. Our revenues are generated by our services of engineering and designing as well as building equipment, and installing systems that capture, clean and destroy airborne contaminants from industrial facilities and equipment that controls emissions from such facilities. We have a diversified base of more than 3,000 active customers among a variety of industries including aerospace, brick, cement, steel, ceramics, metal working, ethanol, printing, paper, food, foundry, power, refining, mining, metal plating, woodworking, chemicals, tobacco, glass, automotive, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, due to our additional focus on international business, our backlog is now more diversified and; therefore, our business is not concentrated in a single country, industry or customer.

CECO’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines and presented in the following three reportable segments. The results of the segments are reviewed through to the “Income from operations” line on the Statements of Income.

Engineered Equipment and Parts Group - Our Engineered Equipment and Parts Group, located in the United States as well as Canada, Brazil, China, and India, is comprised of CECO Filters, Busch International, CECO Abatement, Effox-Flextor, Fisher-Klosterman, and A.V.C. We enable our customers to meet BACT requirements and compliance targets for fumes, volatile organic compounds, process, and industrial odors. Our services eliminate toxic emission fumes and volatile organic compounds from large-scale industrial processes. We have a presence in the chemical processing, ethanol, paint booth emissions, wastewater treatment, and wood products industries.

Contracting/Services Group - Our Contracting/Services Group is comprised of the contracting/services operations of our Kirk & Blum divisions. We provide custom metal fabrication services at our Kirk & Blum Columbia, Tennessee and Louisville, Kentucky locations. These facilities are used to fabricate parts, subassemblies, and customized products for air pollution and non-air pollution applications from sheet, plate, and structurals.

Component Parts Group - We market component parts for industrial air systems to contractors, distributors and dealers throughout the United States.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those in the consolidated financial statements. Due to the relative size of our Engineering Group, our reportable segment disclosures in our financial statements include this group’s results with our corporate and other disclosures.

We believe that as economic conditions continue to improve, there will be an increase in the level of pollution control capital expenditures driven by an elevated focus on environmental issues such as global warming and energy saving alternatives as well as a U.S. Government supported effort to reduce our dependence on foreign oil through the use of bio-fuels like ethanol and electrical energy generated by our abundant domestic supply of coal. We also feel that similar opportunities will continue to develop outside the United States. Our Chinese operation is experiencing significant expansion due to the tightening of air pollution standards by China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection.

We continue to focus on increasing revenues and profitability. Our operating strategy has historically involved horizontally expanding our scope of products and services through selective acquisitions and the formation of new business units that are then vertically integrated into our growing group of turnkey system providers. By employing this strategy, we have expanded our business and increased our revenues by adding CECO Abatement Systems, K&B Duct, CECO Filters, India, Effox, Fisher-Klosterman, Flextor and A.V.C. At the same time, we have been able to consolidate these new entities into our existing corporate structure without increasing costs proportionally. Our continuing focus will be on global growth, market coverage, and specifically expansion of our China and India operations. Operational excellence, margin expansion, after-market growth, and safety leadership also make our core aspirations and objectives.

Much of our business is driven by various regulatory standards and guidelines governing air quality in and outside of large global factories.

Operations Overview

Our contracts are obtained either through competitive bidding or as a result of negotiations with our customers. Contract terms offered by us are generally dependent on the complexity and risk of the project as well as the resources that will be required to complete the project. For example, a contract that can be performed primarily by subcontractors and that does not require us to use our fabrication and assembly facilities can be quoted at a lower gross margin than a more typical contract that will require additional factory overhead and administrative expenses. Our focus is on increasing our operating margins as well as our gross margin percentage which translates into higher net income.

How We Manage our Business

We operate under a “hub and spoke” business model in which executive management, finance, administrative and marketing staff serves as the hub while the sales channels serve as spokes. We use this model throughout our operations. This has provided us with certain efficiencies over a more decentralized model. The Company’s division presidents and general managers are responsible for successfully running their operations, i.e. sales, gross margins, manufacturing, pricing, safety, employee development, and customer service excellence. The presidents work closely with the CEO on global growth strategies, operational excellence, and employee development. The headquarters (hub) focuses on enabling the core back-office key functions for scale and efficiency, i.e. accounting, payroll, human resources/benefits, IT, safety support, audit controls, and administration. We have excellent organizational focus from headquarters through-out our divisional businesses with clarity and minimal duplicative work streams. We are structured for growth and will do smart future bolt-on acquisitions with a full integration strategy.

During 2009, the Company discontinued the operations of its subsidiary, H.M. White, Inc. We terminated our facility lease in Detroit, Michigan and all property and equipment held by H.M. White was sold at net book value to its former owner. The results of H.M. White are presented as discontinued operations for the periods presented.

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Engineered Equipment and Parts Group

Our Engineered Equipment and Parts Group net sales were $23.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $22.5 million in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of $0.8 million, while net sales for the first nine months of 2011 increased by $5.0 million to $74.6 million from $69.6 million for the same period in 2010. The third quarter increase is primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in revenues from our Fisher-Klosterman Shanghai division coupled with increased revenues at Busch, Buell APC, Fisher-Klosterman, and A.V.C. These revenue increases were partially offset by reduced revenues at our Effox- Flextor division of $0.9 million due to reduced demand for dampers and expansion joints from the power industry, and $1.1 million at our CECO Abatement division due to the decrease in the ethanol industry.

The nine month increase of $5.0 million is primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in revenues from our Fisher-Klosterman Shanghai division coupled with increased revenues at Buell FCC, Fisher-Klosterman, and Effox-Flextor, offset partially by reduced revenues at our CECO Abatement division of $0.6 million due to the decrease of demand in the ethanol industry, and at our Buell APC division of $0.5 million. The increase at our Shanghai division is primarily the result of increased demand in China for air pollution control and industrial ventilation equipment.

Operating income from the Engineered Equipment and Parts Group totaled $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $2.1 in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of $1.2 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 operating income increased $1.3 million from $7.0 million in 2010 to $8.3 million in 2011. The third quarter operating income increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.3 million at Fisher-Klosterman Shanghai coupled with increases at CECO Filters, Buell FCC and Busch. The $1.3 million increase for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million at Fisher-Klosterman Shanghai coupled with increases at Buell FCC and CECO Filters, and was offset by a decline in operating income from Effox-Flextor of $1.8 million.

Contracting/Services Group

The Company is making a strategic shift away from the lower margin, higher risk contracting work to higher margin design, build, end user offerings. In addition, the Company has raised the minimum acceptable margins for this group by several percentage points. As a result, Contracting/Services Group net sales for the third quarter of 2011 were $7.3 million compared to $9.7 million in 2010, while net sales for the first nine months of 2011 were $22.6 million compared to $28.3 for the same period in 2010. Additionally, this decrease is partially due to reduced demand for these services which resulted from the economic decline. Our two fabrication plants are performing at higher utilization levels than in 2010.

Operating income for the Contracting/Services Group was $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.5 million in 2010, while for the first nine months of 2011 operating income was $2.3 million compared to $0.1 million in 2010 an increase of $2.2 million. This increase is primarily due to reduced costs in 2011 from facilities consolidations and streamlining efforts, effective project management, better pricing strategies, and certain loss projects in 2010.

Component Parts Group

Component Parts Group net sales were $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $4.4 million in the same period of 2010, and for the first nine months of 2011 net sales were $14.6 million compared to $13.2 million in 2010, an increase of $1.4 million. This increase is primarily due to increased demand for our component parts and clamp together duct products, which is the result of many smaller contractors buying these products instead of making them in-house.

Operating income for the Component Parts Group remained flat at $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, and for the first nine months of 2011 operating income increased $0.8 million to $2.7 million compared to $1.9 million in 2010. This increase is primarily due to increased revenues as described above and increased pricing strategies.

Engineering Group

The Engineering Group net sales were $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.4 million in the same period of 2010, and for the first nine months of 2011 net sales were $0.9 million compared to $1.2 million in 2010. The Engineering Group functions as a conduit for new business opportunities in our other divisions, as many of the projects designed by this group can use the equipment that is manufactured, installed and serviced by our other operating groups.

Operating income for the Engineering Group was $47,000 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $50,000 in 2010, while for the first nine months of 2011 operating income was $73,000 compared to $135,000 in 2010. The decrease in operating income is due to a few higher margin projects in 2010 that were not repeated in 2011.

Consolidated Results

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the third quarter 2011 decreased 2.9%, or $1.0 million, to $32.9 million in 2011 compared to $33.9 million in 2010. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was due to a $2.4 million, or 24.5% decrease in the Contracting/Services Group sales, which resulted from our facilities optimization and backlog pruning . See Contracting/Services segment discussion above for additional details.

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2011 were $101.4 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 2.2%, compared to $103.7 million in 2010 for the factors mentioned above.

Third quarter 2011 gross profit from continuing operations was $9.7 million as compared to $7.8 million during the same period in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, increased by 6.5 percentage points to 29.5% compared to 23.0% for the comparable period in 2010. All segments contributed to the increase in gross profit during the third quarter.

Gross profit from continuing operations was $26.9 million for the first nine months of 2011, an increase of $2.7 million compared to $24.2 million for the same period in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first nine months of 2011 increased to 26.5% compared to 23.3% for the same period in 2010. This increase was the result of the same factors described above for the third quarter.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 4.5%, from $6.6 million to $6.3 million during the third quarter. This decrease was due primarily to continuing reductions in selling and administrative wages and benefits due to streamlining divisional operations and senior management reductions primarily from our Contracting Services Group. We are continuing our efforts to further streamline and centralize these selling and administrative expenses.

During the first nine months of 2011 selling and administrative expenses declined $2.8 million to $18.0 million from $20.8 million in the first nine months of 2010. This decrease was due primarily to cumulative first nine months reductions in selling and administrative wages and benefits of $2.6 million. These reductions were also the result of streamlining as previously mentioned.

Selling and administrative expense from continuing operations as a percentage of sales decreased from 19.5% to 19.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and decreased from 20.1% to 17.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the factors mentioned previously.

Amortization expense was $118,000 for the third quarter of 2011 and $118,000 in the same period of 2010 and decreased by $37,000 to $341,000 in the first nine months of 2011 from $378,000 in the same period of 2010. These decreases were the result of certain definite life intangibles related to earlier acquisitions becoming fully amortized.

Operating income was $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $1.7 million compared to $1.6 million during the same quarter of 2010. Operating income as a percent of sales in the third quarter of 2011 was 10.0% compared to operating income of 4.7% for the same period in 2010.

Operating income for the first nine months of 2011 was $8.6 million, an increase of $5.0 million compared to $3.6 million during the same period of 2010. Operating income as a percent of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 8.5% compared to 3.5% for the same period in 2010.

Improving margins, pruning of lower margin products, changes in product mix, decreased selling and administrative expenses, and manufacturing improvements were the primary factors for the increases in operating income and operating margin percentages.

Other income (expense) from continuing operations for the three months ended was $103,000 compared to $(68,000) during the same period in 2010. This change was primarily the result of unrealized foreign currency transaction losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, other income (expense) from continuing operations was $436,000 compared to ($121,000). The nine month increase in 2011 primarily consists of a $359,000 payment to the Company of short swing trading profits that were returned by a director and an affiliated shareholder, offset by unrealized foreign currency transaction losses.

Interest expense remained constant at $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2011 and $0.9 million during the first nine months of 2011.

Federal and state income tax expense was $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2010. Federal and state income tax expense was $2.6 million for the first nine months of 2011 compared to a $1.0 million in 2010. The federal and state income tax provision for the first nine months of 2011 was

32%, which reflects the estimated effective tax rate for 2011. Our statutory income tax rate is affected by certain permanent differences including income from foreign operations, interest income on officers’ life insurance contracts, non-cash expenses related to incentive stock options and restricted stock vesting shortfalls.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $2.3 million compared with a net income of $0.7 million for the same period in 2010. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $5.5 million compared with a net income of $1.4 million for the same period in 2010.

Orders booked from continuing operations were $35.6 million during the third quarter of 2011 and $102.4 million for the first nine months of 2011, as compared to $35.1 million during the third quarter of 2010 and $93.5 million in the first nine months of 2010.

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 from continuing operations as of September 30, 2011 was $55.3 million compared to $54.3 million as of December 31, 2010. 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this report.

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, payment of interest on our Notes, working capital and other general corporate requirements.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Cash balances may fluctuate from time to time due to collected funds not being immediately swept against the credit line balance.

Total bank debt at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $0. Our current credit facility with Fifth Third Bank (the “Bank Facility”), as amended, includes a revolving line of credit of up to $20 million, including letters of credit, limited to a borrowing base amount computed as 70% of eligible accounts receivable, 50% of unbilled revenues up to $2.0 million, plus 50% of eligible inventories up to $7.5 million. Unused credit availability under our $20.0 million revolving line of credit at September 30, 2011 was $6.7 million. Interest on the outstanding borrowings is charged at the daily LIBOR rate plus 4.0% or the tranche LIBOR rate plus 3.5% for the revolver. The weighted average interest rate under the Bank Facility as of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was 0.0% and 4.07%, respectively.

On August 6, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement effective as of June 30, 2010, which amended and restated in its entirety the Bank Facility and extended the termination date of the Line of Credit to April 1, 2013 and the term loan to April 1, 2014 (which was nonetheless paid off in 2010) – see Footnote 8. The amendment and restatement also increased the limit on letters of credit from $5.0 million to $10.0 million, reset the pricing grid to level one which temporarily increased our interest rates by 0.5% until the next pricing grid determination date of December 31, 2010, at which time the pricing level was re-determined based on the Company’s trailing twelve month fixed charge ratio to be at level three, which reduced our interest rates by 0.5% until the next determination date on December 31, 2011. No fees were paid for this amendment.

Terms of the Bank Facility, as amended, include financial covenants which require compliance at June 30, 2010 and each quarter through June 30, 2013. The maximum capital expenditures financial covenant is $2,500,000 per year. The minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is 2.5:1.0 for each quarter through the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 1.25:1.0

thereafter. The maximum funded debt to EBITDA covenant is 3.0 to 1. Our Bank Facility also contains cross-default provisions with respect to our subordinated debt. Also, if we fail to pay (after grace periods) any other debt or lease that, individually or in the aggregate involves indebtedness in excess of $100,000, and such default gives any creditor or lessor the right to accelerate the maturity of any such indebtedness or lease payments, then absent a waiver from the lender, it would result in a default under our Bank Facility and the acceleration of the maturity of outstanding debt under our Bank Facility. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants, and expect continued compliance. In the future, if we cannot comply with the terms of the Bank Facility covenants it will be necessary for us to obtain a waiver or renegotiate our loan covenants, and there can be no assurance that such negotiations would be successful. In the event that we are not successful in obtaining a waiver or an amendment, we would be declared in default, which could cause all amounts owed to be immediately due and payable.

Our property and equipment, accounts receivable, investments and inventory serve as collateral for our bank debt. Our debt agreements contain customary covenants and events of default.

On November 26, 2009, the Company issued $10.8 million principal amount subordinated convertible promissory notes to a group of investors (the “Investor Notes”) which includes related parties: Icarus Investment Corp. ($2,200,000), Jason DeZwirek ($800,000), Jonathan Pollack ($150,000 – JMP Fam Holdings Inc.) and Harvey Sandler Revocable Trust ($800,000), which trust owns over 10% of our outstanding common stock. Interest accrues under the Investor Notes at the annual rate of 6% and is payable as of the end of each calendar quarter. Interest paid for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was $159,000 and $475,000, respectively, and $163,000 and $485,000, respectively, for the time periods in 2010. We used the proceeds of the Investor Notes to repay all of our previously existing subordinated debt in the amount of approximately $4.5 million, which debt was accruing interest at rates between 11-12%. The balance of the proceeds was available for general working capital. Fees of $320,000 were paid for the issuance of this debt and are being amortized over the term of the Investor Notes. The outstanding balance of the Investor Notes at September 30, 2011 was $10.1 million.

The Investor Notes are due on November 26, 2014 and are not repayable prior to maturity except upon a change of control, or upon the consent of the holder. The outstanding principal amount of the Investor Notes or any portion thereof, but not the interest, is convertible at the holder’s option, at any time after the issuance of the Investor Notes at a conversion price of $4.00 per share, such price being greater than the Company’s share price at the date of issuance of the Investor Notes. Following three years from the date of the Investor Notes, if the closing price of the common stock of the Company is greater than $8.00 for five consecutive days, the Company can cause conversion of the Investor Notes. In February 2011, $200,000 principal of the Investor Notes was converted to 50,000 shares of our common stock. In September 2011, $500,000 principal of the Investor Notes was converted to 125,000 shares of our common stock.

Overview of Cash Flows and Liquidity


	For the nine months ended September 30,
($’s in thousands)	2011			2010
Net cash provided by continuing operations	$	4,870		$	868

Net cash provided by discontinued operations		9			857

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(18	)		1,011
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(735	)		56

Net increase in cash	$	4,126		$	2,792

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $4.9 million of cash was provided by continuing operating activities compared to $0.9 million provided by continuing operating activities for the same period in 2010. The $4.0 million increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in net income from operations. The incremental cash provided of $3.8 million in billings in excess of cost partially offset the incremental cash used of $3.0 million and $0.5 million in costs in excess of billings and inventory, respectively, comparing the nine months of 2011 to 2010. In addition, the incremental cash provided of $2.9 million in Accounts Receivable offset the incremental cash used of $1.2 million in Account Payable and $1.5 million in Accrued income taxes, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization amounted to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.3 million in 2010. This decrease was due primarily to decreased amortization of definite life intangibles from recent acquisitions which are now fully amortized and lower depreciation on property plant and equipment due to facilities closures. Our net investment in working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and working capital from discontinued operations) at September 30, 2011 was $17.6 million as compared to $16.1 million at December 31, 2010. We believe that our working capital needs will remain constant unless we experience a significant increase or decrease in sales and operating income.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities related to capital expenditures for property and equipment of $0.7 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2010, and proceeds from sale of property of $0.6 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2010. The proceeds of sale of property during 2011 is primarily from the sale of our Kirk & Blum Indianapolis, Indiana facility, and in 2010 was from the sale Kirk & Blum’s Cincinnati, Ohio and Lexington, Kentucky facilities, and Fisher-Klosterman Classifier division. We are managing our capital expenditures in light of the current level of sales.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, financing activities used cash of $735,000 which consisted primarily of cash used to repurchase common stock of $483,000 and dividends paid to our common stockholders totaling $363,000, offset by $111,000 provided by stock option exercises. This compares to cash provided of $56,000 during the same period of 2010, which is primarily related to net revolving credit lines borrowings of $690,000, offset by $298,000 repayment of term debt and deferred financing costs payment of $347,000.

When we undertake large jobs, our working capital objective is to make these projects self-funding. We work to achieve this by obtaining initial down payments, progress billing contracts, when possible, utilizing extended payment terms from material suppliers, and paying sub-contractors after payment from our customers, which is an industry practice. Our investment in net working capital is funded by cash flow from operations and by our revolving line of credit. Inventory remains relatively constant from quarter to quarter. Accordingly, changes in inventory do not constitute a significant part of our investment in working capital.

Based on our historical results, management’s experience, our current business strategy and current cash flows, we believe that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Nevertheless, if we generate insufficient cash flows from operations or are unable to draw the amounts needed from our Bank Facility to meet our short-term liquidity needs, we may borrow additional funds. Although management believes that we will be able to fund our operations from current resources, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so, however, alternative sources of funding are potentially available in the form of additional term debt to be provided by our lender, which may be collateralized by our real estate and equipment, as well as subordinated debt to be provided by a related party. However, we cannot provide any assurances that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
