GRAHAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2007 and 2006

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     Graham Corporation’s (the “Company’s”) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include two wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, one located in the United Kingdom and one located in China, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The March 31, 2007 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2007, referred to as fiscal year 2007. For additional information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

     The Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2008, referred to as fiscal year 2008.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION:

     The Company recognizes revenue on all contracts with a planned manufacturing process in excess of four weeks (which approximates 575 direct labor hours) using the percentage-of-completion method. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized under this methodology. The percentage-of-completion method is determined by comparing actual labor incurred to a specific date to management’s estimate of the total labor to be incurred on each contract. Contracts in progress are reviewed monthly, and sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods based on revisions in the contract value and estimated costs at completion. Losses on contracts are recognized immediately when known. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, no loss provisions were recorded.

     Revenue on contracts not accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method is recognized utilizing the completed contract method. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a planned manufacturing process of less than four weeks and the results reported under this method do not vary materially from the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recognizes revenue and all related costs on these contracts upon substantial completion or shipment to the customer. Substantial completion is consistently defined as at least 95% complete with regard to direct labor hours. Customer acceptance is generally required throughout the construction process and the Company has no further material obligations under the contract after the revenue is recognized.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS:

     Investments consist of fixed-income debt securities issued by the United States Treasury with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year. All investments are classified as held-to-maturity, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. The investments are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value. All investments held by the Company at June 30, 2007 are scheduled to mature between July 5 and October 11, 2007.

NOTE 4 – INVENTORIES:

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method. For contracts accounted for on the completed contract method, progress payments received are netted against inventory to the extent the payment is less than the inventory balance relating to the applicable contract. Progress payments that are in excess of the corresponding inventory balance are presented as customer deposits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unbilled revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents revenue recognized that has not been billed to customers on contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completion method. For contracts accounted for on the percentage-of–completion method, progress payments are netted against unbilled revenue to the extent the payment is less than the unbilled revenue for the applicable contract. Progress payments exceeding unbilled revenue are netted against inventory to the extent the payment is less than or equal to the inventory balance relating to the applicable contract, and the excess is presented as customer deposits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

     Major classifications of inventories are as follows:

		June 30,				March 31,
		2007				2007
Raw materials and supplies		$	1,545			$	1,427
Work in process			3,892				6,847
Finished products			546				460
			5,983				8,734
Less — progress payments			2,396				4,052
Total		$	3,587			$	4,682

NOTE 5 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

     The 2000 Graham Corporation Incentive Plan to Increase Shareholder Value provides for the issuance of up to 550 shares of common stock in connection with grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock awards and performance awards to officers, key employees and outside directors, however, no more than 100 shares of common stock may be used for awards other than stock options. The options may be granted at prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant and expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.

     In the three months ended June 30, 2007, 40 stock options with a term of ten years from the date of grant were awarded to officers, outside directors and certain key employees and 2 shares of restricted stock were awarded to officers. The stock options vest ratably over a four year period and the restricted shares vest over four years as follows: 10% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 20% on the second anniversary of the grant date, 30% on the third anniversary of the grant date and 40% on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, incentives had been awarded only in the form of stock options with a term of ten years from the date of grant.

     During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized stock-based compensation costs of $32 and $8, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized related to stock-based compensation was $11 and $3 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

     The weighted average fair value of stock options granted in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $6.97 and $6.90, respectively. The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
Expected life		5 years				5 years
Expected volatility			43.38	%			48.40	%
Risk-free interest rate			4.86	%			5.03	%
Expected dividend yield			.64	%			.58	%

     The expected life represents an estimate of the weighted average period of time that options are expected to remain outstanding given consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns. Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical closing prices of the Company’s common stock over a period of five years. The risk free interest rate is estimated based on the United States Federal Reserve’s historical data for the maturity of nominal treasury instruments that corresponds to the expected term of the option. Expected dividend yield is based on historical trends.

     The fair value of a restricted share is equal to the market value of a share of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value of the restricted shares granted in the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $17.25.

     The Graham Corporation Outside Directors’ Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for awards of share equivalent units for outside directors based upon the Company’s performance. Each unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock. Share

equivalent units are credited to each outside director’s account for each of the first five full fiscal years of the director’s service when consolidated net income is at least 100% of the approved budgeted net income for the year. The share equivalent units are payable in cash or stock upon retirement.

     Compensation cost for share equivalent units is recorded based on the higher of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the end of the period up to $8 per unit or the stock price at the date of grant. The cost of share equivalent units earned and charged to pre-tax income under the Plan was $8 and $15 in the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were 30 share equivalent units in the Plan at June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related liability recorded was $288 and $292 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The expense to mark to market the share equivalent units was $8 and $0 in the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 6 — INCOME PER SHARE:

     Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Common shares outstanding include share equivalent units, which are contingently issuable shares. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, when applicable, potential common shares outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted income per share is presented below:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
Basic income per share
Numerator:
Net income		$	2,658			$	1,116
Denominator:
Weighted common shares outstanding			3,894				3,839
Share equivalent units (“SEUs”)			30				27
Weighted average common shares and SEUs			3,924				3,866
Basic income per share		$	.68			$	.29
Diluted income per share
Numerator:
Net income		$	2,658			$	1,116
Denominator:
Weighted average shares and SEUs outstanding			3,924				3,866
Stock options outstanding			88				63
Weighted average common and potential common shares outstanding			4,012				3,929
Diluted income per share		$	.66			$	.28

     Options to purchase a total of 38 and 56 shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were not included in the above computation of diluted income per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7 – PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY:

     The reconciliation of the changes in the product warranty liability is as follows:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
Balance at beginning of period		$	357			$	330
Expense for product warranties			139				88
Product warranty claims paid			(91	)			(59	)
Balance at end of period		$	405			$	359

NOTE 8 — CASH FLOW STATEMENT:

     Interest paid was $6 and $5 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, income taxes paid were $2 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 9 — COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

     Total comprehensive income was as follows:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
Net income		$	2,658			$	1,116
Other comprehensive income:
Foreign currency translation adjustment			8				1
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans			14				—
Total comprehensive income		$	2,680			$	1,117

     Defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans reflect the amortization of prior service costs and recognized losses related to such plans during the period, as a result of the adoption of the effective provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

NOTE 10 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     The components of pension cost are as follows:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
Service cost		$	121			$	118
Interest cost			277				264
Expected return on assets			(408	)			(335	)
Amortization of:
Service cost			1				1
Actuarial loss			56				87
Net pension cost		$	47			$	135

     The Company made no contributions to its defined benefit pension plan during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company expects its contributions to the plan for the balance of fiscal year 2008 to be approximately $2,000.

     The components of the postretirement benefit income are as follows:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
Service cost		$	—			$	—
Interest cost			15				16
Amortization of prior service cost			(42	)			(41	)
Amortization of actuarial loss			6				4
Net postretirement benefit income		$	(21	)		$	(21	)

     The net postretirement benefit income does not include any service cost because the Company irrevocably terminated postretirement healthcare benefits for its employees in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003. The Company paid benefits of $10 related to its postretirement benefit plan during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company expects to pay benefits of approximately $124 for the balance of fiscal year 2008.

NOTE 11 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS:

     The Company has been named as a defendant in certain lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos contained in products made by the Company. The Company is a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. The claims are similar to previous asbestos suits that named the Company as defendant, which either were dismissed when it was shown that the Company had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work or were settled for minimal amounts below the expected defense costs. Neither the outcome of these lawsuits nor the potential for liability can be determined at this time.

     From time to time in the ordinary course of business the Company is subject to legal proceedings and potential claims. At June 30, 2007, management was unaware of any additional litigation matters.

     In May 2006, the Company completed the formation of a wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary located in Suzhou and committed to invest an aggregate of $2,100 over a two-year period. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had invested $1,064 in its Chinese subsidiary.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES:

     On April 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 heightens the threshold for recognizing and measuring tax benefits and requires enterprises to make explicit disclosures about uncertainties in their income tax positions, including a detailed roll-forward of tax benefits taken that do not qualify for financial statement recognition. The adoption of FIN No. 48 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of April 1, 2007 and is not aware of any tax positions for which unrecognized tax benefits would be recorded within the next twelve months.

     The Company files federal and state income tax returns in several domestic and foreign jurisdictions. In most tax jurisdictions, returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a number of years after the returns have been filed. The Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities in any federal, state and foreign tax jurisdictions for years before 2002. It is the Company’s policy to recognize any interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and any penalties related to uncertain tax positions in selling, general and administrative expense. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of April 1, 2007.

     On April 9, 2007, the new budget for the state of New York was signed into law. The new legislation includes a variety of provisions that affected the Company’s income tax accounting in the current quarter, primarily, a reduction in the tax rate for manufacturers to 6.5% and the acceleration of the phase in of the single sales factor apportionment. The impact of these changes was a $90 benefit in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

NOTE 13 – ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES:

     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure various financial instruments and certain other items at fair value in order to mitigate volatility in reporting earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159

is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact SFAS No. 159 may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in the event it chooses to adopt SFAS No. 159.

     In fiscal year 2007, the Company adopted the effective provisions of SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. The Company will adopt the measurement provision of SFAS No. 158 as of March 31, 2009.

Item 2.		Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Overview

     Our corporate offices and production facilities are located in Batavia, New York. We have two wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, one located in the United Kingdom and the other in China. Our current fiscal year, which we refer to as fiscal 2008, began on April 1, 2007 and ends on March 31, 2008.

     We are a designer, manufacturer and worldwide supplier of ejectors, liquid ring pumps, condensers and heat exchangers. The principal markets for our equipment are the petrochemical, oil refinery and electric power generation industries, including cogeneration and geothermal plants. Our equipment can also be found in diverse applications such as metal refining, pulp and paper processing, shipbuilding, water heating, refrigeration, desalination, food processing, pharmaceuticals, heating, ventilating and air conditioning.

     Highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2007 include:

	•		Net income and income per diluted share for the current quarter were $2,658 and $0.66, respectively, compared with net income of $1,116 and income per diluted share of $0.28 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
	•		Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $19,987, up 37% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2007, when sales were $14,608.
	•		Orders placed with us in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 of $24,843 were up 24% compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2006 when orders were $20,032.
	•		Backlog grew significantly to $59,221 on June 30, 2007, representing a 53% increase compared with June 30, 2006 when backlog was $38,642.
	•		Gross profit and operating margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were 33% and 19.2% compared with 28% and 12.5%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

     We believe the principal market drivers that have led to increased capital spending by our customers and that are contributing to our sales growth include the following factors:

	•		Global consumption of crude oil is estimated to expand significantly during the next decade.
	•		It is generally believed that there is a shortage of global oil refining capacity.
	•		Known supplies of sweet crude oil are being depleted. Sour crude sources are identified and believed to be plentiful.
	•		There is a differential in raw material prices for higher quality “sweet” and lower quality “sour” crude oil, which is more costly to refine than “sweet” crude oil. To lower production costs, many refineries are upgrading facilities in order to be able to process sour crude oil, which requires an upgrade of vacuum and heat transfer equipment of the types we manufacture.

	•		The expansion of the middle class in Asia is driving increasing demand for power and petrochemical products.
	•		The high cost of natural gas in North America and Europe is leading to the construction of new petrochemical plants in the Middle East, where natural gas is plentiful and less expensive.
	•		There is an increased need in certain regions for geothermal electrical power plants to meet increased electricity demand.
	•		United States refineries are being upgraded to process synthetic crude oil from Alberta oil sands.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

     Critical accounting policies are defined as those that reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

     Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue on all contracts with a planned manufacturing process in excess of four weeks (which approximates 575 direct labor hours) using the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage-of-completion method is determined by comparing actual labor incurred to a specific date to our estimate of the total labor to be incurred on each contract. Contracts in progress are reviewed monthly, and sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods based on revisions in the contract value and estimated material and labor costs at completion. Losses on contracts are recognized immediately when known.

     Revenue on contracts not accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method is recognized utilizing the completed contract method. The majority of the contracts we enter into have a planned manufacturing process of less than four weeks and the results reported under this method does not vary materially from the percentage-of-completion method. We recognize revenue and all related costs on the completed contract method upon substantial completion or shipment of products to the customer. Substantial completion is consistently defined as at least 95% complete with regard to direct labor hours. Customer acceptance is required throughout the construction process and we have no further material obligations under the contract after the revenue is recognized.

     Pension and Postretirement Benefits. Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs and obligations are dependent on actuarial assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions are reviewed annually and include the discount rate, long-term expected rate of return on plan assets, salary growth, healthcare cost trend rate and other economic and demographic factors. We base the discount rate assumption for our plans on Moody’s or Citigroup Pension Liability Index AA-rated corporate long-term bond yield rate. The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets is based on the plan’s asset allocation, historical returns and expectations as to future returns that are expected to be realized over the estimated remaining life of the plan liabilities that will be funded with the plan assets. The salary growth assumptions are determined based on long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook. The healthcare cost trend rate assumptions are based on historical cost and payment data, the near-term outlook, and an assessment of likely long-term trends.

     Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns.

     Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using current tax rates. We evaluate available information about future taxable income and other possible sources of realization of deferred income tax assets and record valuation allowances to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount that represents our best estimates of the amounts of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than not will be realized. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, no valuation allowance was recorded.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

     We have evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements and related notes presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and believe those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. We believe that the most critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements relate to labor hour estimates used to recognize revenue under the percentage-of-completion method, accounting for contingencies, under which we accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits.

     Contingencies, by their nature, relate to uncertainties that require us to exercise judgment both in assessing the likelihood that a liability has been incurred as well as in estimating the amount of potential loss. The most important contingencies impacting our financial statements are those related to resolutions of matters related to open tax years and pending, impending or overtly threatened litigation against our Company. For more information on these matters see the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

     As discussed above under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies”, we recognize the substantial amount of our revenue using the percentage-of-completion method. The key estimate of percentage-of-completion accounting is total labor to be incurred on each contract and to the extent that this estimate changes, it may significantly impact revenue recognized in each period.

     Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits involves estimating the cost of benefits to be provided well into the future and attributing that cost over the time period each employee works. To accomplish this, extensive use is made of assumptions about inflation, investment returns, mortality, turnover, medical costs and discount rates. These assumptions are reviewed annually and disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007.

     The discount rate used in accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits is determined in conjunction with our actuary by reference to a current yield curve and by considering the timing and amount of projected future benefit payments. The discount rate assumption for fiscal 2008 is 5.91% for our defined benefit pension and 5.65% for our other postretirement benefit plan. A reduction in the discount rate of 50 basis points, with all other assumptions held constant, would increase fiscal 2008 net periodic benefit expense for our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plan by approximately $151 and $1, respectively.

     The expected return on plan assets assumption of 8.5% used in accounting for our pension plan is determined by evaluating the mix of investments that comprise plan assets and external forecasts of future long-term investment returns. A reduction in the rate of return of 50 basis points, with other assumptions held constant, would increase fiscal 2008 net periodic pension expense by approximately $96.

     As part of our ongoing financial reporting process, a collaborative effort is undertaken involving our managers with functional responsibilities for financial, credit, tax, engineering, manufacturing and benefit matters and outside advisors such as lawyers, consultants and actuaries. We believe that the results of this effort provide management with the necessary information on which to base their judgments and to develop the estimates and assumptions used to prepare the financial statements.

     We believe that the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements under this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q related to contingencies, revenue, pensions, other post

retirement benefits and other matters requiring the use of estimates and judgments are reasonable, although actual outcomes will frequently differ materially from our estimates.

Results of Operations

     For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our performance, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

     The following table summarizes our results of operations for the periods indicated:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
Net sales		$	19,987			$	14,608
Net income		$	2,658			$	1,116
Diluted income per share		$	0.66			$	0.28
Identifiable assets		$	51,396			$	41,029

The First Quarter of Fiscal 2008 Compared With the First Quarter of Fiscal 2007

     Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $19,987, a 37% increase, as compared with sales of $14,608 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in sales came primarily from ejector sales into Canada, South America and Asia, and reflects the demand for our products from the global refinery markets. Export sales accounted for 54% of total sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were 48% to the refining industry, 23% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 4% to the power industry and 25% to other industrial applications. Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were 27% to the refining industry, 50% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 5% to the power industry and 18% to other industrial applications. We believe the demand for our products will continue to be strong at least through our fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. For additional information, see “Orders and Backlog” below.

     Our gross profit percentage (i.e., sales, less costs of sales, divided by sales) for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 33% compared with 28% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Gross profit dollars increased 62% for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Gross profit percentage and dollars increased primarily due to improved product mix achieved by increased selectivity on orders accepted, selling price increases, additional manufacturing outsourcing and improved manufacturing efficiencies. Our increased use of manufacturing outsourcing and our improved efficiencies enabled us to achieve greater sales volume during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

     Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were 14% of sales compared with 17% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decline, expressed as a percentage of sales, was due to greater sales in the current fiscal year. Actual costs increased $407 or 17% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2007. SG&A expense increased due to the additional costs of our China operations and greater sales commissions resulting from higher sales. Our China operation was in the early start-up stages during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

     Interest expense was $6 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared with $4 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Interest expense increased due to upgrades in office equipment leased.

     Our effective tax rate was 31% compared with an effective tax rate of 39% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The fiscal 2008 projected effective tax rate of 33% compared with last year’s projected rate of 39% reflects greater projected permanent differences, as a percentage of before tax income. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, our deferred tax provision was reduced due to a cumulative reduction in deferred tax liabilities resulting from a tax rate decrease in our New York state income taxes. This adjustment reduced our effective tax rate 2%. (See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

     Net income for the first quarters of each of fiscal 2008 and 2007 was $2,658 and $1,116, respectively. Income per diluted share was $0.66 and $0.28 for the respective periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

		June 30,
		2007				2006
Cash and investments		$	20,201			$	8,552
Working capital		$	24,154			$	18,973
Working capital ratio(1)			2.5				2.9
Long-term debt		$	50			$	19
Long-term debt/capitalization(2)			0.0	%			0.1	%
Long-term liabilities/capitalization(3)			4.8	%			9.7	%

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $5,003 compared with net cash used by operating activities of $2,466 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The change was due to greater: net income, deferred income taxes, which is a non-cash expense reducing income before income taxes, accelerated payments from customers; as well as less operating working capital as a result of programs implemented to reduce our cash conversion cycle.

     We invest net cash generated from operations in excess of cash held for near-term needs in marketable securities. Investments are United States government instruments, generally with maturity periods of 91 to 120 days. Investments at June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $19,297 and $7,952, respectively.

     Other sources of cash for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included the issuance of common stock to cover stock options exercised, which raised $204, as compared with $225 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and repayments of notes outstanding for purchases of common stock granted under our Long-Term Stock Ownership Plan of $16 compared with $8 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

     Other uses of cash for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included dividend payments of $97 and capital expenditures of $163 compared to $96 and $204, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

     We have a credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. that provides a line of credit up to $20,000 including letters of credit and bank guarantees. Borrowings under our banking facility are secured by all of our assets. Borrowings and standby letters of credit outstanding under our credit facility on June 30, 2007 were $0 and $10,177, respectively. Our borrowing rate as of June 30, 2007 was the bank’s prime rate minus 125 basis points or 7%. We believe that cash generated from operations, combined with our investments and available financing capacity under our credit facility, will be adequate to meet our cash needs for the immediate future.

Orders and Backlog

     Orders for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $24,843 compared with $20,032 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of 24%. Orders represent communications received from customers requesting us to supply products and services. The increase in orders was across all product categories except for condensers, and is attributed to the strong demand for our products in the refinery and petrochemical sectors we serve. We believe, based on market information and order inquiries, condenser order opportunities will continue to be available and will constitute a reasonable portion of our future orders. Domestic orders were up 303% or $15,274 and export orders were down 70% or $10,463 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in domestic orders is due to refinery capacity expansion projects. Refinery capacity is being expanded through both increases in the volume of through-put as well as through the installation of “deep cut” vacuum processes, which increases the quantity of higher grade products (e.g., gasoline, jet fuels, etc.) from crude feed stocks as compared with the amount of higher grade products that could be produced previously from similar amounts of feed stocks. Examining our business in quarterly windows year over year is not a good indicator of possible trends. We believe that the current increase in domestic orders and the relative decline in export orders experienced during the current quarter as compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2007 reflects the timing of when orders were received and is not representative of a general trend.

     Backlog was $59,221 at June 30, 2007, compared with $38,642 at June 30, 2006, a 53% increase. Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. All orders in backlog represent orders from our traditional markets in established product lines. Approximately $13,200 of orders currently in backlog are not expected to be converted to sales within the next twelve months. Approximately 51% of our backlog can be attributed to equipment for refinery project work, 31% to chemical and petrochemical projects, and 18% to other industrial or commercial applications. We believe that the continuing demand from the refinery sector for our products is being driven by the shortages of refinery capacity resulting from increased global usage of oil.

Contingencies and Commitments

     We have been named as a defendant in certain lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos contained in our products. We are a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intend to vigorously defend against these claims. The claims are similar to previous asbestos lawsuits that named us as a defendant. Such previous lawsuits either were dismissed when it was shown that we had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work or were settled by us for amounts below expected defense costs. Neither the outcome of these lawsuits nor the potential for liability can be determined at this time.

     From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to legal proceedings and potential claims. As of June 30, 2007, we were unaware of any additional pending litigation matters.

     In May 2006, we completed the formation of a wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary located in Suzhou and committed to invest an aggregate of $2,100 over a two-year period. Through June 30, 2007 we have invested $1,064 in our Chinese subsidiary.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 heightens the threshold for recognizing and measuring tax benefits and requires enterprises to make explicit disclosures about uncertainties in their income tax positions, including a detailed roll-forward of tax benefits taken that do not qualify for financial statement recognition. FIN No. 48 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2008, which commenced April 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN No. 48 had no effect on our financial position or results of operations.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year, which commences April 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. We are currently studying the impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, if we choose to adopt SFAS No. 159.

     In fiscal 2007, we adopted the effective provisions of SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. We will adopt the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 158 as of March 31, 2009.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

     We did not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2007 or 2006 other than operating leases.

Item 3.		Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from changes in market rates and prices) to which we are exposed are:

	•		foreign currency exchange rates; and
	•		equity price risk (related to our Long-Term Incentive Plan).

     The assumptions applied in preparing the following qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding foreign currency exchange rate and equity price risk are based upon volatility ranges experienced by us in relevant historical periods, our current knowledge of the marketplace, and our judgment of the probability of future volatility based upon the historical trends and economic conditions of the markets in which we operate.

Foreign Currency

     International consolidated sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were 54% of total sales compared with 59% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Operating in markets throughout the world exposes us to movements in currency exchange rates. Currency movements can affect sales in several ways, the foremost being our ability to compete for orders against foreign competitors that base their prices on relatively weaker currencies. Business lost due to competition for orders against competitors using a relatively weaker currency cannot be quantified. In addition, cash can be adversely impacted by the conversion of sales made by us in a foreign currency to United States dollars. In each of the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had no sales for which we were paid in foreign currencies. At certain times, we may enter into forward foreign currency exchange agreements to hedge our exposure against potential unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant sales contracts negotiated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were not used in reporting periods, and as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, we held no forward foreign currency contracts.

     We have limited exposure to foreign currency purchases. In the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our purchases in foreign currencies represented 1% and 2%, respectively, of the cost of products sold. At certain times, we may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts to limit currency exposure. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were not used in reporting periods, and as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, we held no forward foreign currency contracts.

Equity Price Risk

     Our Long-Term Incentive Plan provides for awards of share equivalent units (“SEUs”) for our non-employee directors based upon the performance of our common stock. SEUs are valued at fair market value, thereby exposing us to equity price risk. Upward adjustment to market value is limited to (a) $8 per unit if at the valuation date the fair market value was less than $8 per unit or (b) the fair market value at the valuation date if the fair market value on that date was greater than $8 per unit. Gains and losses recognized due to market price changes are included in results of operations. Based upon the plan provisions and SEUs outstanding at June 30, 2007 and 2006, and a $30 share price, an increase in our stock price would have no effect on our income before income taxes because all SEUs outstanding were awarded at a fair market value of less than $30. A 50-75% decrease in our stock price would positively impact income before income taxes as follows:

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
50% decrease		$	1			$	—
75% decrease			55				53

     Assuming required net income targets are met, certain awards would be provided, and based upon a stock price of $30 per share, a 50-75% decrease in our stock price would positively impact income before income taxes in future periods ending June 30, as follows:

		2009				2010				2011				2012				2013
50% decrease		$	18			$	34			$	46			$	58			$	59
75% decrease			80				105				122				140				142

Item 4.		Controls and Procedures

Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures

     Our president and chief operating officer (principal executive officer) and our vice president of finance and administration and chief financial officer (principal financial officer) each have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our president and chief operating officer and vice president of finance and administration and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

     There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
