NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006.

     In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected by the Company for a full year.

     Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements describe various elements of the financial statements and the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions applied by management. While actual results could differ from those estimated by management in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, management believes that the accounting policies, assumptions, and estimates applied promote the representational faithfulness, verifiability, neutrality, and transparency of the accounting information included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2) Net Earnings per Share

     Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” requires that employee equity share options, nonvested shares and similar equity instruments granted by the Company be treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, which is calculated, based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when exercised are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

     For both the three-months and six-months ended February 28, 2007, all stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units had a dilutive effect; no stock options, restricted stock units, or performance stock units were excluded from the diluted net earnings per share. For the three-months and six-months ended February 28, 2006, there were 423,706 and 428,706 shares of stock options and restricted stock units excluded from the calculation of net earnings per share, respectively. The weighted average price of the excluded shares was $25.01, with expiration dates ranging from September 2007-August 2015.

(3) Acquisitions

On December 27, 2006, Lindsay Italia S.R.L., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding shares of both Flagship Holding Ltd. (“Flagship”) and Snoline, S.P.A. (“Snoline”), a subsidiary of Flagship. As a result, Snoline, a leading European designer and manufacturer of highway marking and safety equipment based in Milan, Italy, became an indirect subsidiary of Lindsay.

     Total cash consideration paid to the selling stockholders was 12.5 million Euros (approximately $16.5 million). The purchase price was financed with approximately $3.3 million of cash on hand and borrowing under a new $13.2 million Term

Note and Credit Agreement entered into by Lindsay Italia S.R.L. with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., described in Note 9, Credit Arrangements. The total purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on management’s estimates of current fair values. The resulting goodwill and other intangible assets will be accounted for under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”). Pro forma data is not presented for the Snoline acquisition, as it was considered immaterial.

(4) Comprehensive Income

The accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, shown in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets includes the unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges, unrealized gain (loss) on securities and the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment. The following table shows the difference between the Company’s reported net earnings and its comprehensive income:

		For the three-months ended								For the six-months ended
		February				February				February				February
$ in thousands		2007				2006				2007				2006

Minimum pension liability, net of tax			(20	)			—				(20	)			—
Unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges, net of tax			53				—				(102	)			—
Foreign currency translation			(155	)			492				(95	)			857
Total comprehensive income		$	2,405			$	2,246			$	4,121			$	3,091

(5) Income Taxes

It is the Company’s policy to report income tax expense for interim periods using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. However, the tax effects of significant or unusual items are not considered in the estimated annual effective tax rate. The tax effect of such events is recognized in the interim period in which the event occurs.

     The effective rate for the income tax provision for the three-months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006 was 30.51% and 31.43%, respectively. The 0.92 point net decrease in the effective tax rate consisted of a decrease resulting from amending federal and state returns for two years offset by a slight increase in the mix of income in subsidiaries with higher blended state rates. The amended federal and state returns were amended for one particular deduction that was not claimed on the filed tax returns.

     The effective rate for the income tax provision for the six-months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006 was 32.46% and 32.40%, respectively. Overall, the Company benefits from a U.S. effective tax rate, which is lower than the combined federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the federal tax-exempt interest income on its investment portfolio.

(6) Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, and Long-term Marketable Securities

Cash equivalents are included at cost, which approximates market. At February 28, 2007, a single financial institution held substantially all the Company’s cash equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents, while those having original maturities in excess of three months are classified as marketable securities or as long-term marketable securities when maturities are in excess of one year. Marketable securities and long-term marketable securities consist of investment-grade municipal bonds.

     At the date of acquisition of an investment security, management designates the security as belonging to a trading portfolio, an available-for-sale portfolio, or a held-to-maturity portfolio. Currently, the Company classifies investment securities as available-for-sale and carries such investment securities at fair value. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale securities is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects. The Company monitors its investment portfolio for any decline in fair value that is other-than-temporary and records any such impairment as an impairment loss. No impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in fair value have been recorded in the three-months and six-months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006. In the opinion of management, the Company is not subject to material market risks with respect to its portfolio of investment securities because the relatively short maturities of these securities make their value less susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.

Proceeds, gains, and losses from maturities or sales of available-for-sale securities are as follows:

		Three-months ended								Six-months ended
		February 28,								February 28,
$ in thousands		2007				2006				2007				2006
Proceeds from maturities		$	25,620			$	3,308			$	59,680			$	5,113
Gross realized gains		$	—			$	—			$	—			$	—

Amortized cost and fair value of investments in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale according to management’s intent are summarized as follows:

						Gross				Gross

		$	16,105			$	3			$	(151	)		$	15,957

(7) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for the Company’s Lindsay, Nebraska inventory and two warehouses in Idaho and Texas. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for inventory at its BSI, Snoline and China warehouse locations. Cost is determined by the weighted average method for inventories at the Company’s other operating locations in Washington State, France, Brazil and South Africa. At all locations, the Company reserves for obsolete, slow moving, and excess inventory by estimating the net realizable value based on the potential future use of such inventory.

(9) Credit Arrangements

(a) Euro Line of Credit

The Company’s European subsidiary, Lindsay Europe, has an unsecured revolving line of credit with two commercial banks under which it could borrow up to 2.3 million Euros, which equates to approximately US $3.0 million, for working capital purposes (the “Euro Line of Credit”). As of February 28, 2007, there was $1.1 million outstanding on the Euro Line of Credit, which was classified in the current portion of long-term debt. Under the terms of the Euro Line of Credit, borrowings, if any, bear interest at a variable rate in effect from time to time designated by the lending banks as Euro LIBOR plus 200 basis points (all inclusive, 5.1% at February 28, 2007).

(b) BSI Term Note

     The Company entered into an unsecured $30 million Term Note and Credit Agreement, effective as of June 1, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “BSI Term Note”) to partially finance the acquisition of BSI. Borrowings under the BSI Term Note bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. Principal is repaid quarterly in equal payments of $1.1 million over a seven-year period that began in September, 2006. The BSI Term Note contains certain covenants, including covenants relating to Lindsay’s financial condition. Upon the occurrence of any event of default specified in the BSI Term Note, including a change in control of the Company (as defined in the BSI Term Note), all amounts due thereunder may be declared immediately due and payable.

(c) Snoline Term Note

     The Company entered into an unsecured $13.2 million Term Note and Credit Agreement, effective December 27, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Snoline Term Note”) to partially finance the acquisition of Snoline, described in Note 3, Acquisitions.

     Borrowings under the Snoline Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. Principal is repaid quarterly in equal payments of $471,250 over a seven-year period commencing March 27, 2007. All borrowings under the Snoline Credit Agreement are secured by the acquired shares of Flagship and Snoline and are guaranteed by the Company. The Snoline Term Note contains certain covenants, including covenants relating to Lindsay’s financial condition. Upon the occurrence of any event of default specified in the Snoline Term Note, including a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Snoline Term Note), all amounts due thereunder may be declared immediately due and payable.

(10) Financial Derivatives

The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments only to hedge exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

     In order to reduce interest rate risk on the BSI Term Note, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that converts the variable interest rate on the entire amount of this borrowing to a fixed rate of 6.05% per annum. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate, long-term debt obligations are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects. For the six-months ended February 28, 2007, there were no amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in relation to this interest rate swap. Similarly, for the Snoline Term Note, the variable interest rate was converted to a fixed rate of 4.7% through a cross currency swap transaction entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. This cross currency swap agreement also fixes the conversion rate of Euros to dollars for the Snoline Credit Agreement at 1.3195. Under the terms of the cross currency swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of the cross currency swap designated as a hedging instrument that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate, long-term debt obligations are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects. For the three-months ended February 28, 2007, there were no amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in relation to this cross currency swap.

     The Company accounts for these derivative instruments in accordance with FAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activity,” which requires all derivatives to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value and to meet certain documentary and analytical requirements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. All of the Company’s derivatives

qualify for hedge accounting under FAS 133 and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of the are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects.

In 1992, the Company entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States Government (“the EPA”) in which the Company committed to remediate environmental contamination of the groundwater that was discovered in 1982 through 1990 at and adjacent to its Lindsay, Nebraska facility (“the site”). The site was added to the EPA’s list of priority superfund sites in 1989. Between 1993 and 1995, remediation plans for the site were approved by the EPA and fully implemented by the Company. Since 1998, the primary remaining contamination at the site has been the presence of volatile organic chemicals in the groundwater. In 2003, a second five-year review of the status of the remediation of the contamination of the site was conducted by the Company and the EPA. As a result of this review, the EPA issued a letter placing the Company on notice that additional remediation actions were required. The Company and its environmental consultants have completed and submitted a supplemental remedial action work plan that, when implemented, will allow the Company and the EPA to better identify the boundaries of the contaminated groundwater and will allow the Company and the EPA to more effectively assure that the contaminated groundwater is being contained by current and planned wells that pump and aerate it. The Company has been able to reasonably estimate the cost of completing the remediation actions defined in the supplemental remedial action work plan. Related liabilities recognized were $204,000, $176,000 and $218,000 at February 28, 2007 and 2006 and August 31, 2006, respectively.

The Company has a supplemental non-qualified, unfunded retirement plan for two current and four former executives. Plan benefits are based on the participant’s average total compensation during the three highest compensation years of employment. This unfunded supplemental retirement plan is not subject to the minimum funding requirements of ERISA. The Company has purchased life insurance policies on four of the participants named in this supplemental retirement plan to provide partial funding for this liability. Components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s supplemental retirement plan include:

Guarantees of Customer Equipment Financing In the normal course of its business, the Company has arranged for unaffiliated financial institutions to make favorable financing terms available to end-user purchasers of the Company’s irrigation equipment. In order to facilitate these arrangements, the Company provides limited recourse guarantees or full guarantees to the financial institutions on these equipment loans. All of the Company’s customer-equipment recourse guarantees are collateralized by the value of the equipment being financed. The estimated maximum potential future payments to be made by the Company on these guarantees equaled $1.3 million, $2.1 million and $1.6 million at February 28, 2007 and 2006 and August 31, 2006, respectively.

     The Company maintains an agreement with one financial institution under which it guarantees the financial institution’s total pool of financing agreements with end users. Under this agreement, the Company’s exposure is limited to unpaid principal and interest where the first and/or second annual customer payments on individual loans in the pool have not yet been made as and when due. The maximum exposure on these pool guarantees is equal to 2.75% of the aggregate original principal balance of the loans in the pool and equaled approximately $0.6 million, $1.1 million and $0.8 million at February 28, 2007 and 2006 and August 31, 2006, respectively. The Company will no longer provide new guarantees under this arrangement. The Company continues to guarantee loans in the pool of record as of February 28, 2006. The guarantee will be released as payments are made against those loans.

     Separately, the Company provides guarantees on specific customer loans made by two unaffiliated financial institutions, including the institution for which the pool guarantee is provided. Generally, the Company’s exposure on these specific customer guarantees is limited to unpaid principal and interest on customer payments that have not been made as and when due. In some cases, the guarantee may cover all scheduled payments of a loan. The amount of these guarantees of specific customer loans equaled approximately $0.7 million, $1.0 million and $0.8 million at February 28, 2007 and 2006 and August 31, 2006, respectively. The Company recorded, at estimated fair value, deferred revenue of $5,000 at February 28, 2007, compared to $61,000 at February 28, 2006 and $25,000 at August 31, 2006, classified within other current liabilities, for these guarantees.

The estimated fair values of these guarantees are primarily based on the Company’s experience with these guarantee agreements and related transactions. The Company recognizes the revenue for the estimated fair value of the guarantees ratably over the respective terms of the guarantees. Separately, related to these guarantees, the Company has accrued a liability of $153,000, $166,000, and $110,000 at February 28, 2007 and 2006, and August 31, 2006, respectively classified within other current liabilities, for estimated losses on such guarantees.

Product Warranties

The Company generally warrants its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. These product warranties are provided for specific periods and/or usage of the product. The accrued product warranty costs are for a combination of specifically identified items and other incurred, but not identified, items based primarily on historical experience of actual warranty claims. During the second quarter, the Company had a change in estimate of approximately $290,000, reducing the estimated liability for the end-gun solenoid campaign announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. This reserve is classified within other current liabilities.

The following tables provide the changes in the Company’s product warranties:

The Company manages its business activities in two reportable segments:

     Irrigation: This segment includes the manufacture and marketing of center pivot, lateral move, and hose reel irrigation systems. The irrigation segment consists of six operating segments that have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131.

     Infrastructure: This segment includes the manufacture and marketing of movable barriers, specialty barriers and crash cushions; providing outsource manufacturing services and the manufacturing and selling of large diameter steel tubing. The infrastructure segment consists of two operating segments that have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131.

     The accounting policies of the two reportable segments are described in the “Accounting Policies” section of Note A to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment sales, gross profit, and operating income, with operating income for segment purposes excluding general and administrative expenses (which include corporate expenses), engineering and research expenses, interest income net, other income and expenses, and income taxes. Operating income for segment purposes does include selling expenses and other overhead charges directly attributable to the segment. There are no inter-segment sales. Because the Company utilizes many common operating assets for its irrigation and infrastructure segments, it is not practical to separately identify assets by reportable segment. The Company does not segregate assets in evaluation of segment performance. Similarly, other segment reporting proscribed by SFAS No. 131 is not shown as this information cannot be reasonably disaggregated by segment and is not utilized by the Company’s management.

     The Company has no single major customer representing 10% or more of its total revenues during the six-months ended February 28, 2007 or 2006, respectively.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table:

The Company accounts for awards of share-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values.

     On December 1, 2006, the Company issued 20,361 performance shares under its 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan to a select group of employees. A specified number of shares of common stock will be awarded under the terms of the performance share units on November 1, 2009, if performance measures relating to three-year average revenue growth and a three-year average return on net assets are achieved. There is a maximum potential for 40,722 shares to be paid out and a potential of zero shares to be paid out if minimum threshold performance measures are not achieved. The performance shares granted to employees have a grant date fair value equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date less present value of expected dividends. The recipient of the award is not entitled to receive dividends on the performance shares during the vesting period. Compensation expense will be recognized ratably over the three year vesting period and was an immaterial amount during the quarter ended February 28, 2007.

Accounting Policies

In preparing the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management must make a variety of decisions, which impact the reported amounts and the related disclosures. These decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In making these decisions, management applies its judgment based on its understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances and the Company’s historical experience.

The Company’s accounting policies that are most important to the presentation of its results of operations and financial condition, and which require the greatest use of judgments and estimates by management, are designated as its critical accounting policies. See further discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies under Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s year ended August 31, 2006.

Results of Operations

For the Three-Months ended February 28, 2007

The following section presents an analysis of the Company’s condensed consolidated operating results displayed in the consolidated statements of operations for the three- months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006. It should be read together with the industry segment information in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

Operating revenues for the three-months ended February 28, 2007 increased by 16% to $63.7 million compared with $54.9 million for the three-months ended February 28, 2006. This increase is attributable to a $1.8 million increase in irrigation equipment revenues and a $7.0 million increase in infrastructure segment revenues.

     Domestic equipment irrigation for the three-months ended February 28, 2007 of $37.2 million increased 2% compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenues was primarily a result of price increases instituted over the past year. Unit volume remained relatively flat as compared to prior year. At the end of the quarter, commodity prices for the primary agricultural commodities on which irrigation equipment is used, were favorable. Corn prices are up 80% over the same time last year, soybean prices are up over 20%, and wheat is up close to 20%. The expansion of ethanol production continues to have a major impact on corn demand. Recent USDA estimates place corn usage for ethanol production at approximately 18% of total corn usage for the 2006-2007 crop year and 34% higher than in the previous year, reducing corn inventories to less than one-half the levels of a year ago. Crop prices are significantly higher and recent USDA estimates

place 2007 Net Farm Income up approximately 10% over last year, even with increases in input costs. Farmers are generally optimistic about this crop season, with a higher portion of farm income coming from crop receipts. The Company believes the higher crop prices, improved farm income, and improved farmer sentiment create favorable market conditions for irrigation equipment sales. Unfavorably cold, wet weather during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 hindered farmers’ ability to get new irrigation equipment into the fields in many of our key domestic markets.

     International irrigation equipment revenues for the three-months ended February 28, 2007 of $13.7 million increased 8% from $12.7 million as compared to the same prior year period. The Company continues to have strong sales in Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East during the quarter. Revenues from South America significantly improved due in part to high soybean prices and strengthening farm economy in Brazil.

     Infrastructure products segment revenues for the three-months ended February 28, 2007 of $12.7 million increased $7.0 million from the same prior year period. The increase in revenues is attributable to both the inclusion of BSI, acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and Snoline, acquired on December 27, 2006. Snoline expands the Company’s presence in crash cushions and other road-safety products in Europe. This acquisition also allows the Company to negate the license fee paid by BSI to Snoline for marketing their crash-cushion technology. In addition, the Company believes there will be opportunities to sell Snoline’s products throughout the world through BSI’s distribution channel and to expand BSI’s market in Europe through Snoline.

Gross Margin

     Gross profit was $14.5 million for the three-months ended February 28, 2007, an increase of $4.6 million as compared to the three-months ended February 28, 2006. Gross margin was 22.7% for the three-months ended February 28, 2007 compared to 18.0% for the same prior year period. The gross margin improvement was primarily a result of significantly improved irrigation margins in North America. During the quarter, input costs for irrigation equipment were fairly stable supporting improved selling margins. In the infrastructure segment, selling margins were better than the same quarter last year, due to the inclusion of sales of BSI and Snoline products which have higher margins than other products produced by the infrastructure segment. However, they were below the first quarter of this fiscal year and below the Company’s expectations due to lower barrier leasing revenue, which was affected by project timing and weather.

Operating expenses of $10.7 million for the three-months ended February 28, 2007 were $3.0 million higher than the same prior year period. The increase in operating expenses for the second quarter is primarily attributable to the inclusion of the operating expenses of BSI and Snoline.

Interest expense during the three-months ended February 28, 2007 of $532,000 increased $417,000 from the $115,000 recognized during the same period of fiscal 2006. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the borrowing incurred to finance the acquisitions of BSI and Snoline.

     Interest income during the three-months ended February 28, 2007 of $426,000 decreased 23% from the $551,000 earned during the same period of fiscal 2006. The decrease is primarily the result of lower interest bearing deposits and bond balances compared to the prior year period. Interest bearing deposit balances were lower due to working capital needs of the business, in addition a portion of the Snoline acquisition was funded with cash.

     Other income (expense), net during the six-months ended February 28, 2007 increased $30,000 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006.

     The effective rate for the income tax provision for the three-months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006 was 30.51% and 31.43%, respectively. The 0.92 point net decrease in the effective tax rate consisted of a decrease resulting from amending federal and state returns for two years offset by a slight increase in the mix of income in subsidiaries with higher blended state rates. The amended federal and state returns were amended for one particular deduction that was not claimed on the filed tax returns. Overall, currently the Company benefits from a U.S. effective tax rate, which is lower than the combined federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the federal tax-exempt interest income on its investment portfolio.

Net earnings were $2.5 million or $0.21 per diluted share for the three-months ended February 28, 2007, compared with $1.7 million or $0.15 per diluted share, for the same prior year period.

Operating revenues for the six-months, ended February 28, 2007 increased 22% to $115.2 million compared with $94.4 million for the six-months ended February 28, 2006. This increase is attributable to a $5.6 million increase in irrigation equipment revenues and a $15.2 million increase in infrastructure segment revenues.

     Domestic irrigation equipment revenues for the six-months ended February 28, 2007 increased $3.4 million or 6% compared to the same period last year. Management believes that the combination of factors described above in the discussion of the three-months ended February 28, 2007 also contributed to the increase in domestic irrigation revenues.

     International irrigation equipment revenues for the six-months ended February 28, 2007 increased $2.2 million or 9% over the first six-months of fiscal 2006. Management believes that the combination of factors described above in the discussion of the three-months ended February 28, 2007 also contributed to the increase in international irrigation revenues.

     Infrastructure products segment revenues of $26.3 million for the six-months ended February 28, 2007 represented an increase of $15.2 million or 137% from the same prior year period. Management believes that the combination of factors described above in the discussion of the three-months ended February 28, 2007 also contributed to the increase in infrastructure segment revenues.

Gross profit for the six-months ended February 28, 2007 was $26.9 million an increase of $9.6 million as compared to the same prior year period. Gross margin percentage for the six-months ended February 28, 2007 increased to 23.4% from the

18.3% achieved during the same prior year period. The improved margin is a result of achieving higher margins in the North America irrigation equipment market as compared to the same prior year period, and inclusion of higher margin BSI products.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses during the first half of fiscal 2007 rose by $5.8 million or 39% from the same prior year period. The increase in operating expenses for the six-months ended February 28, 2007 is primarily attributable to the inclusion of BSI and Snoline.

Interest Income, Other Income, and Taxes

Interest expense during the six-months ended February 28, 2007 of $1.0 million increased $887,000 from the $132,000 recognized during the same period of fiscal 2006. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the borrowing incurred to finance the acquisition of BSI.

     Interest income during the six-months ended February 28, 2007 of $1.1 million increased 6.73% from the $995,000 earned during the same period of fiscal 2006. The increase is primarily the result of increased interest income from higher interest rates when compared to the average rate earned in the prior year period for tax-exempted municipal bonds.

     Other income (expense), net during the six-months ended February 28, 2007 decreased $12,000 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006.

     The effective rate for the income tax provision for the six-months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006 was 32.46% and 32.40%, respectively. Overall, the Company benefits from a U.S. effective tax rate, which is lower than the combined federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the federal tax-exempt interest income on its investment portfolio.

Net Earnings

Net earnings were $4.3 million or $0.36 per diluted share, for the six-months ended February 28, 2007, compared with $2.2 million or $0.19 per diluted share, for the same prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company requires cash for financing its receivables and inventories, paying operating costs and capital expenditures, and for dividends. The Company meets its liquidity needs and finances its capital expenditures, from its available cash and funds provided by operations along with borrowings under two primary credit arrangements.

     The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $32.0 million at February 28, 2007 compared with $51.0 million at February 28, 2006. The Company’s marketable securities consist primarily of tax-exempt investment grade municipal bonds.

     The Company’s European subsidiary, Lindsay Europe, has an unsecured revolving line of credit with two commercial banks under which it could borrow up to 2.3 million Euros, which equates to approximately USD $3.0 million, for working capital purposes. As of February 28, 2007, there was $1.1 million outstanding balance on this line. Under the terms of the line of credit, borrowings, if any, bear interest at a floating rate in effect from time to time designated by the commercial bank as Euro LIBOR+200 basis points (all inclusive, 5.1% at February 28, 2007).

     The Company entered into an unsecured $30 million Term Note and Credit Agreement, each effective as of June 1, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “BSI Credit Agreement”) to partially finance the acquisition of BSI. Borrowings under the BSI Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. However, this variable interest rate has been converted to a fixed rate of 6.05% through an interest rate swap agreement with the lender. Principal is repaid quarterly in equal payments of $1.1 million over a seven-year period commencing September, 2006. The BSI Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including covenants relating to Lindsay’s financial condition. Upon the occurrence of any event of default specified in the BSI Credit Agreement, including a change in control of the Company (as defined in the BSI Credit Agreement), all amounts due there under may be declared to be immediately due and payable. As of February 28, 2007, the Company is in compliance with all covenants.

     On December 27, 2006, Lindsay Italia S.R.L., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an unsecured $13.2 million Term Note and Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in conjunction with the acquisition of Snoline, S.P.A. and the holding company of Snoline, Flagship Holding Ltd. (the “Snoline Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the Snoline Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. However, this variable interest rate has been converted to a fixed rate of 4.7% through an interest rate swap transaction entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Lindsay Italia S.R.L. also entered into a cross-currency swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in order to fix the conversion rate of dollars to Euros for the Snoline Credit Agreement at 1.3195. Principal is repaid quarterly in equal payments of $471,250 over a seven-year period commencing March 27, 2007. All borrowings under the Snoline Credit Agreement are secured by the acquired shares of Flagship and Snoline and are guaranteed by the Company. The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including covenants relating to the Company’s financial condition. Upon the occurrence of any event of default specified in the Snoline Credit Agreement, including a change in control of Lindsay (as defined in the Snoline Credit Agreement), all amounts due there under may be declared to be immediately due and payable.

     The Company believes its current cash resources (including cash and marketable securities balances), projected operating cash flow, and bank lines of credit are sufficient to cover all of its expected working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividends, and other cash requirements, excluding potential acquisitions.

     Cash flows used in operations totaled $17.5 million during the six-months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $1.4 million used in operations during the same prior year period. The $16.1 million increase in cash flows used in operations was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in receivables, a $8.3 million increase in inventory, a $3.7 million decrease in accounts payable, a $3.7 million decrease in current liabilities and a $1.9 million decrease in current taxes payable. This cash used in operations was offset by $3.7 million increase in cash provided by net income excluding noncash expenses.

     Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $22.4 million during the six-months ended February 28, 2007 compared to cash flows provided by investing activities of $3.8 million during the same prior year period. This increase in use of cash was primarily due to cash used in the purchase of Snoline, which totaled $17.4 million, including direct acquisition costs. In addition, an increase of $2.7 million of cash was used in purchases of property, plant and equipment over the prior year. This was partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease of cash provided by net maturities of marketable securities. Capital expenditures were $4.4 million and $1.8 million during the six-months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital expenditures were used primarily for updating manufacturing plant and equipment, expanding manufacturing capacity, and further automating the Company’s facilities. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 are expected to be approximately $6.0 to $7.0 million and will be used to improve the Company’s existing facilities, expand its manufacturing capacities, integrate and grow the acquired businesses and increase productivity.

     Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $11.9 million during the six-months ended February 28, 2007 compared to $1.3 million of cash used by financing activities during the same prior year period. The increase in cash provided by financing is due primarily to $14.3 million, of borrowings for the acquisition of Snoline, offset by a $2.1 million increase in cash used for principal payments on other long-term borrowings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has certain off balance sheet arrangements as described in Note P to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2006. The Company does not believe these arrangements are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

In addition to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2006, on December 27, 2006, Lindsay Italia S.R.L., a wholly owned subsidiary of Lindsay Corporation, entered into an unsecured $13.2 million Term Note and Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in conjunction with the acquisition of Snoline, S.P.A. and the holding company of Snoline, Flagship Holding Ltd. See further discussion in Note 3, Acquisitions regarding the Snoline acquisition.

Market Conditions and Fiscal 2007 Outlook

Strong agricultural commodity prices, higher Net Farm Income and improved farmer sentiment in the United States are favorable drivers for the Company’s irrigation equipment. Globally, long-term drivers remain positive as population growth, the need for productivity improvements and fresh water constraints drive demand for the Company’s efficient irrigation technology. In addition, the Company expects the federal highway program legislation enacted in 2005 to have a favorable impact on the infrastructure segment in fiscal 2007. Demand for the Company’s products may however, be adversely affected by variable factors such as weather, crop prices and legislative action. The Company will continue to create shareholder value by pursuing a balance of acquisitions, organic growth opportunities, share repurchases and dividend payments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No 109.” The Interpretation provides a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for recognizing, derecognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions for financial statement purposes. The Interpretation also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2008. Management is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”. This Statement requires recognition of the funded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position. Funded status is determined as the difference

between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation. Changes in that funded status should be recognized in other comprehensive income. This recognition provision and the related disclosures are effective as of the end of the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Statement also requires the measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the fiscal year end statement of financial position. This measurement provision is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Management is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     On September 13, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     On September 7, 2006, the Task Force reached consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”). The scope of EITF 06-4 is limited to the recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     On September 7, 2006, the Task Force reached a conclusion on EITF Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance – Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance” (“EITF 06-5”). The scope of EITF 06-5 consists of six separate issues relating to accounting for life insurance policies purchased by entities protecting against the loss of “key persons.” The six issues are clarifications of previously issued guidance on FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4. EITF 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     On June 28, 2006, the Task Force reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). The scope of EITF 06-3 consists of how taxes assessed by a governmental authority within the scope of EITF 06-3 should be presented in the income statement (that is, gross versus net presentation). EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company currently uses the net presentation method and does not anticipate changing its current practice. In addition, the adoption of this EITF will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The market value of the Company’s investment securities fluctuates inversely with movements in interest rates because all of these investment securities bear interest at fixed rates. Accordingly, during periods of rising interest rates, the market value of these securities will decline. However, the Company does not consider itself to be subject to material market risks with respect to its portfolio of investment securities because the maturity of these securities is relatively short, making their value less susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.

     The Company has manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Brazil, and South Africa. The Company has sold products throughout the world and purchases certain of its components from third-party foreign suppliers. Export sales made from the United States are principally U.S. dollar denominated. Accordingly, these sales are not subject to significant currency transaction risk. However, a majority of the Company’s revenue generated from operations outside the United States is denominated in local currency. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian real, and the South African rand in relation to the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies create exposures, which can adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

     The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars was not hedged as of February 28, 2007.

     The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments only to hedge exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

     In order to reduce interest rate risk on the $30 million Term Note, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that converts the variable interest rate on the entire amount of these borrowings to a fixed rate of 6.05% per annum. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt. Similarly, for the Snoline Term Note, the variable interest rate has been converted to a fixed rate of 4.7% through a cross currency swap transaction entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. This cross currency swap agreement also fixes the conversion rate of Euros to dollars for the Snoline Credit Agreement at 1.3195. Under the terms of the cross currency swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt.

ITEM 4 – Controls and Procedures

     As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of February 28, 2007.

     Additionally, the CEO and CFO determined that there have been no significant changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – Legal Proceedings

     In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Company is involved, from time to time, in commercial litigation, employment disputes, administrative proceedings, and other legal proceedings. Other than the matter described below, none of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

     In 1992, the company entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States Government (“the EPA”) in which it committed to remediate environmental contamination of the groundwater that was discovered in 1982 through 1990 at and adjacent to its Lindsay, Nebraska facility (“the site”). The site was added to the EPA’s list of priority superfund sites in 1989. Between 1993 and 1995, remediation plans for the site were approved by the EPA and fully implemented by the Company. Since 1998, the primary remaining contamination at the site has been the presence of volatile organic chemicals in the groundwater. In 2003, a second five year review of the status of the remediation of the contamination of the site was conducted by the Company and the EPA. As a result of this review, the EPA issued a letter placing the Company on notice that additional remediation actions were required. The Company and its environmental consultants have completed and submitted a supplemental remedial action work plan that, when implemented, will allow the Company and the EPA to better identify the boundaries of the contaminated groundwater and will allow the Company and the EPA to more effectively assure that the contaminated groundwater is being contained by current and planned wells that pump and aerate it. The Company has been able to reasonably estimate the cost of completing the remediation actions defined in the supplemental remedial action work plan. Related liabilities recognized were $204,000, $176,000 and $218,000 at February 28, 2007, February 28, 2006, and August 31, 2006, respectively.

ITEM 1A – Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors as described on pages 8 & 9 in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006.

ITEM 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company made no repurchases of its common stock under the Company’s stock repurchase plan during the three-months ended February 28, 2007; therefore, tabular disclosure is not presented. From time to time, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized management to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Most recently, during August 2000, the Company announced a 1.0 million share increase in the number of shares authorized for repurchase. Under this share repurchase plan, management has existing authorization to purchase, without further announcement, up to 881,139 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market or otherwise.
