NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	Basis of reporting for condensed consolidated financial statements and significant accounting policies.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for the three-month period and nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.	New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 applies to most current accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value methods and inputs by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used by management to measure and report amounts at fair value.

The Company has only partially applied the provisions of SFAS 157 as management has elected the deferral provisions of FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 157-2 as it applies to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The major categories of assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain amounts of property and equipment, intangibles and goodwill reported at fair value as a result of impairment testing, and certain other assets, liabilities and equity instruments recognized as a result of prior business combinations.

The Company does not have any financial instruments that required a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning accumulated earnings upon adoption. There was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of the partial adoption of SFAS 157.

Financial instruments and fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing assets and liabilities, including assumptions about risk. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company classifies the inputs under a fair value hierarchy that ranks the inputs based on their quality and reliability. Financial instruments carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, such as cash surrender life insurance, as well as obligations under accounts payable and long-term debt. The estimated fair values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business and certain other assets, such as cash surrender life insurance approximate their individual carrying amounts due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates fluctuate with market interest rates. The Company does not have any other financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis that require further disclosure.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with high-credit quality financial institutions and the Company does not believe that there is a significant concentration of credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that its credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable is limited based on the reputation of their customers, historical collection experience, and industry and geographic diversification of their customers. Credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation, and account monitoring procedures are utilized by management to minimize the risk of loss. The Company maintains an allowance to cover estimated credit losses.

SFAS 159—In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”(“SFAS 159”). This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value in an effort to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The standard was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008; however, the Company did not elect the fair value option for any eligible items.

SFAS 141(R)—In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). This statement defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses, and

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves this control. This statement also refines the application of the purchase method by requiring the acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value and replacing the cost-allocation process previously required under SFAS 141. Included in fair value are contractual contingencies to the extent that it is more likely than not that such contingencies meet the definition of assets or liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. The carrying value of such contractual contingencies remains unchanged until settled or until new information is obtained indicating the value of an asset is lower than acquisition-date fair value or that a liability is higher than acquisition-date fair value. Furthermore, acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs that are expected but not obligatory are required to be recognized separately from the business combination. SFAS 141(R) will be effective prospectively for business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2009. Management believes this Statement could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements depending on future acquisition plans.

EITF No. 06-11—In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards.” EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital instead of a credit to income tax expense. The amount recognized in additional paid-in capital will be available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share–based payment awards. EITF 06-11 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and therefore is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

SFAS 162—In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. This statement will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.

During June 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This Issue addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Statement 133. If an instrument (or an embedded feature) that has the characteristics of a derivative instrument under paragraphs 6–9 of Statement 133 is indexed to an entity’s own stock, it is still necessary to evaluate whether it is classified in stockholders’ equity (or would be classified in stockholders’ equity if it were a freestanding instrument). Other applicable authoritative accounting literature, including Issues EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company Own Stock, and EITF 05-2, The Meaning of “Conventional Debt Instrument” in Issue No. 00-19, provides guidance for determining whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is classified in stockholders’ equity (or would be classified in stockholders’ equity if it were a freestanding instrument). This Issue does not address that second part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Statement 133. We are currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on our financial statements.

Indefinite life intangible assets are comprised of tradenames, while finite life intangible assets are comprised of patents, backlog, customer lists and employment contracts. Finite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 17 years for patents, 12 to 18 months for backlog, 5 years for customer lists and 3 years for employment contracts. Amortization expense of finite life intangibles for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $376,000 and $982,000, respectively. Over the next five years amortization expense for these finite life intangible assets will be $338,000 for the remainder of 2008, $618,000 in 2009, $417,000 in 2010, $351,000 in 2011 and $257,000 in 2012.

6.	Business Segment Information

Our structure and operational integration results in one segment that focuses on engineering, designing, building and installing systems that remove airborne contaminants from industrial facilities, as well as equipment that controls emissions from such facilities. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements herein reflect the operating results of the segment.

7.	Earnings Per Share

We consider outstanding options and warrants in computing diluted net income per share only when they are dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase 490,000 shares for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their exercise price being greater than the market price of the stock. Additionally, the dilutive effect of convertible debt has been reflected by application of the if-converted method pursuant to SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Accordingly, the numerator has been adjusted to add back or deduct the net-of-tax impact of related interest charges and foreign exchange gains totaling $8,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008.

Debt

Total bank debt at September 30, 2008 was $23.7 million and $4.7 million at December 31, 2007. The bank debt at September 30, 2008 consists of $19.3 million due on the revolving line of credit and $4.4 million due on the term note. Unused credit availability under our $30.0 million revolving line of credit at September 30, 2008 was $4.7 million. Availability is limited as determined by a borrowing base formula contained in the credit agreement.

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

increased revolving line of credit of up to $30.0 million. Credit availability is determined under our revolver on an asset based calculation which is determined by multiplying qualified accounts receivable times a factor of 70% and raw material inventories by a factor of 50%. This resulting availability is then reduced by outstanding letters of credit. Terms of the agreement, which runs through January 31, 2010, include a continuation of the current borrowing rates for the credit line of prime or LIBOR plus 2% and rates for the term note of prime or LIBOR plus 2.25%. Fees paid in connection with this amendment were $72,000 and we deferred these fees and began amortizing them as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the arrangement.

In connection with the acquisitions of Flextor, Inc. and AVC Specialists (“AVC”) the Bank Facility was amended again on August 1, 2008. The amended agreement was entered into by CECO Environmental Corp., the CECO group of companies, FKI and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation. Terms of the agreement, which runs through January 31, 2010, include a continuation of the current borrowing rates for the credit line of prime or LIBOR plus 2% and rates for the term note of prime or LIBOR plus 2.25%. At September 30, 2008, we had elected the option to use the prime rate of 5%. Fees paid in connection with this amendment were $10,000 and we deferred these fees and began amortizing them as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the arrangement.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company determined that the outstanding borrowings under its revolving line of credit should be classified as current in accordance with FASB Emerging Issues Task Force 95-22, “Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements that Include Both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement” (“EITF 95-22”). Accordingly, the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 reflects all such borrowings ($18.3 million) as current obligations. Additionally, the accompanying December 31, 2007 balance sheet also presents such borrowings ($4.4 million) as a current obligation although such borrowings had previously been reflected as long-term obligations in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 17, 2008. Similarly, $16.4 million and $14.1. million of such borrowings should have been reflected as additional current obligations in the Company’s Form 10-Qs for the periods ended March 31, 2008, filed on May 12, 2008, and June 30, 2008, filed on August 11, 2008, respectively.

These reclassifications have no impact on debt covenant compliance, net income, cash flows or net shareholders’ equity as of and for the periods indicated above. The Company has started discussions with its lender with the intent to amend the Bank Facility in such a way that outstanding revolving line of credit borrowings will not be subject to EITF 95-22 and, if so amended, the requirement to classify this long-term debt as current may no longer apply. The Company can make no assurances that it will ultimately enter into such an amendment with its lender.

Additionally, on July 31, 2008, the Company issued a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the amount of Canadian $5,000,000 (the “Subordinated Debt”) to Phillip DeZwirek, the Chairman and CEO of the Company. On August 14, 2008, the Company refinanced the Note. The Company repaid all outstanding principal and unpaid interest under the Note and cancelled the Note. On August 14, 2008, the Company issued a new Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (the “Subdebt Note”) in the amount of Canadian $5,000,000 (the “Subordinated Debt”) to Icarus Investment Corp., a Canadian company which is controlled by Phillip DeZwirek and Jason DeZwirek, the Secretary and a Director of the Company. The Canadian $5,000,000 proceeds received by the Company were used to repay the Note. The Subdebt Note provides for interest to accrue at the rate of 10% per annum in 2008, 11% per annum in 2009, and 12% per annum commencing January 1, 2010 until paid. Since it is our intention to pay off the Note as quickly as possible, we are accruing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest payments are payable semi-annually subject to the Subordination Agreement with Fifth Third Bank. The holder of the Note may convert at any time the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest there under into common stock of the Company at a per share price of $4.75, a price greater than the closing consolidated bid price immediately preceding the issuance of the Note. The Note’s maturity date is the earlier of July 31, 2010 or six (6) months after repayment of the Bank Facility. The Note also matures in the event of a merger or reorganization of the Company that results in a change of control, upon the sale of 50% of the assets of the Company, or any sale of any division of the Company in excess of $5 million. To the extent that the Company completes an equity financing in excess of $10 million, 25% of the amounts in excess of the $10 million are required to be used to repay the Subordinated Debt, provided that the Company is not in default under the Bank Facility.

We also sponsor a post retirement health care plan for office employees retiring before January 1, 1990. The plan allows retirees who have attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired.

Retirement and health care plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the expense consisted of the following:

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 that we expected to make $615,000 in contributions to the pension plan during the year ending December 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, $420,000 has been contributed to the pension plan and we plan on paying the balance of $195,000 during the remainder of Fiscal Year 2008.

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

10.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”(“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for stock-based awards, measured at the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Company recognized expense of approximately $288,000 and $294,000 during the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $846,000 and $437,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

During 2008, the Company awarded 40,900 shares of performance-based, restricted stock with a fair value of $6.89 per share which vest subject to attainment of predetermined Company performance goals by fiscal year end 2008. These shares will vest on March 31, 2009, if certain minimum financial targets are attained. If the minimum level of performance is not attained by the end of 2008, these stock awards will be forfeited and all expense

recognized to date will be reversed. Additionally, a total of 8,000 shares of restricted stock with a fair value of $7.19 per share were granted to four independent directors. These shares vest over a one year period.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, approximately $41,000 of previously recorded expense related to performance based grants was reversed due to the expectation that the related financial objectives will not be met.

11.

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“Interpretation 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized approximately a $653,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax expense, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of accumulated earnings. For the year ended December, 31, 2007, the Company recorded additional unrecognized tax benefits of $244,000 for tax positions relating to prior years and a reduction for tax positions relating to prior years of $422,000. Therefore, the unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2007, was $475,000. The Company includes interest and penalties in the unrecognized tax benefit liability.

As of September 30, 2008, the unrecognized tax benefit was $495,000 which includes additional interest and penalties of $20,000.

12.

Acquisitions

On February 29, 2008, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary FKI Acquisition Corp., purchased substantially all of the assets of Fisher-Klosterman, Inc. (“ FKI”). We acquired FKI to obtain air pollution and particulate recovery products in the fields of petroleum refinery, power production, petrochemicals, and manufacturing. The acquisition also expands our operations into China with FKI’s 40,000 square foot facility in Shanghai, China. The purchase price was approximately $23.3 million, consisting of net cash paid plus transaction costs totaling approximately $15.3 million (funded under the amended Bank Facility), liabilities assumed of approximately $7.1 million and 98,580 shares of restricted common stock valued at $0.9 million. Additionally, the former owners of FKI are entitled to earn-out payments payable in shares of common stock of up to $3.5 million upon the attainment of specified gross profit amounts through February 28, 2011. The following table summarizes the approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of closing.

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
($’s in millions)	2008			2007			2008			2007
Net sales	$	55.2		$	65.3		$	159.5		$	168.0
Cost of sales		43.2			54.1			130.1			139.1

Gross profit (excluding depreciation and amortization)	$	12.0		$	11.2		$	29.4		$	28.9
Percent of sales		21.7	%		17.1	%		18.4	%		17.2	%

Selling and administrative expenses	$	8.7		$	6.7		$	23.5		$	18.0
Percent of sales		15.8	%		10.3	%		14.7	%		10.7	%

Operating income	$	2.4		$	4.1		$	3.8		$	9.9
Percent of sales		4.3	%		6.3	%		2.4	%		5.9	%

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter were $55.2 million, a decrease of $10.1 million or 15.5% compared to $65.3 million for the same quarter in 2007. Consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2008 were $159.5 million, a decrease of $8.5 million or 5.1% compared to the same period in 2007. This decline in sales for both the three month and nine month periods was due primarily to a decrease in sales for our contracting divisions partially offset by increases in sales of component parts and equipment. New acquisitions provided $11.1 million of additional revenues for the quarter and $32.2 million for the nine month period. New orders booked were $54.0 million (including acquired backlog of $3.8 million) during the third quarter of 2008 and $160.9 million (including acquired backlog of $17.8 million) for the first nine months of 2008, as compared to $35.7 million during the third quarter of 2007 and $165.2 million in the first nine months of 2007. The increase in bookings for the quarter is not necessarily indicative of an increase in demand for our products and services because types and sizes of orders vary from quarter to quarter and the flow of orders is not consistent.

Third quarter 2008 gross profit increased by $0.8 million or 7.1% to $12.0 million compared to a gross profit of $11.2 million during the same period in 2007. Gross profit for the quarter as a percentage of sales increased by 4.6 percentage points to 21.7% from 17.1% due to changes in product mix driven primarily by higher margin equipment sales. For the first nine months of 2008, gross profit increased by $0.5 million or 1.7% to $29.4 million compared to $28.9 million for the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by 1.2 percentage points to 18.4% from 17.2% in 2007. This increase was also due to the same changes in product mix as discussed for the three month period.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million or 29.4% to $8.7 million during the third quarter of 2008 from $6.7 million in the same period of 2007. The increase was due primarily to additional selling and administrative expenses of $1.9 million from our latest 2008 acquisitions: Fisher Klosterman, Inc. (“FKI”), Flextor, Inc. and AVC Specialists as well as $0.2 million for three additional months of GMD Environmental (acquired November 1, 2007) expenses for the current

quarter compared to none last year. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of sales increased by 5.5 percentage points from 10.3% in the 2007 quarter to 15.8% in the 2008 quarter. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $5.5 million or 30.6% to $23.5 million during the first nine months of 2008 from $18.0 million in the same period of 2007. This nine month increase consisted of two additional months of Effox, (acquired March 1, 2007), selling and administrative expenses in 2008 totaling $0.7 million, plus additional selling and administrative expenses of $4.6 million for the 2008 acquisitions discussed previously. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of sales increased by 4.0 percentage points from 10.7% in the 2007 nine month period compared to 14.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Depreciation and amortization increased from $0.4 million in the 2007 third quarter to $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2008 and in the first nine months from $1.1 million in 2007 to $2.2 million in 2008. Amortization of finite life intangibles resulting from acquisitions amounted to $376,000 and $982,000, respectively for the quarter and nine month periods.

Operating income decreased by approximately $1.7 million or 41.5% to $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to operating income of $4.1 million during the same quarter of 2007. The impact of lower revenues offset by higher margins due to changing product mix in the third quarter, accompanied by related additions from acquisitions of selling and administrative expenses, were the primary factors for the decrease in operating income. Operating income for the first nine months of 2008 decreased by $6.1 million or 61.6% to $3.8 million compared to operating income of $9.9 million during the same period of 2007. This decrease was also due to the impact of decreased revenues and higher margins due to changing product mix in the nine month period, offset by related increases in selling and administrative expenses.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $0.4 million to $0.5 million compared to $0.1 million during the third quarter of 2007. This increase was due to higher outstanding loan balances on the Company’s credit facility and the addition of subordinated debt used to finance acquisitions in 2008.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by $0.8 million to $1.0 million compared to $1.8 million during the first nine months of 2007. The 2007 interest expense included a non-cash charge of $0.7 million to expense the remaining discount on the subordinated notes that were retired using the proceeds from our secondary stock offering in May 2007.

Federal and state income tax provision was $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2008 compared to $1.7 million during the third quarter of 2007. Federal and state income tax expense was $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to a tax expense of $3.5 million in 2007.

The federal and state income tax expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 39% of income from operations before income taxes. Our effective income tax rate is affected by certain permanent timing differences including non-deductible compensation expense related to the issuance of incentive stock options. The federal and state income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 44% of income from operations before income taxes.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $1.2 million compared with net income of $2.2 million for the same period in 2007. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.7 million compared with a net income of $4.5 million for the same period in 2007. This decrease in net income for the quarter and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was the result of the previously discussed factors.

Backlog

Our backlog consists of the amount of revenues we expect from full performance of orders we have received that have not been completed for products and services we expect to substantially ship and deliver within the next 12 months. There can be no assurances that backlog will be replicated, increased or translated into higher revenues in the future.

Our backlog, as of September 30, 2008 was $86.9 million compared to $85.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The success of our business depends on a multitude of factors related to our backlog and the orders secured during the subsequent period(s). Certain contracts are highly dependent on the work of contractors and other subcontractors participating in a project, over which we have no or limited control, and their performance on such project could have an adverse effect on the profitability of our contracts. Delays resulting from these contractors and subcontractors, changes in the scope of the projects, weather, and labor availability also can have an affect on a contract’s profitability.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, available borrowings under our revolving credit facility and secondary equity offerings. Our principal uses of cash are operating costs, debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate requirements.

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $419,000 and $656,000 respectively. Generally, we do not carry significant cash and cash equivalent balances because excess amounts are used to pay down our debt.

In connection with the acquisition of Fisher-Klosterman, Inc. (“FKI”) our credit facility (the “Bank Facility”) was amended on February 29, 2008. The amended agreement was entered into by CECO Environmental Corp., the CECO group of companies, FKI Acquisition Corp. and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation. The Bank Facility, as amended, consisted of a new term loan in the amount of $5.0 million and an increased revolving line of credit of up to $30.0 million. Credit availability is determined under our revolver on an asset based calculation which is determined by multiplying qualified accounts receivable times a factor of 70% and raw material inventories by a factor of 50%. This resulting availability is then reduced by outstanding letters of credit. Terms of the agreement, which runs through January 31, 2010, include a continuation of the current borrowing rates for the credit line of prime or LIBOR plus 2% and rates for the term note of prime or LIBOR plus 2.25%. Fees paid in connection with this amendment were $72,000 and we deferred these fees and began amortizing them as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the arrangement.

In connection with the acquisitions of Flextor, Inc. and AVC Specialists (“AVC”) the Bank Facility was amended again on August 1, 2008. The amended agreement was entered into by CECO Environmental Corp., the CECO group of companies, FKI and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation. Terms of the agreement, which runs through January 31, 2010, include a continuation of the current borrowing rates for the credit line of prime or LIBOR plus 2% and rates for the term note of prime or LIBOR plus 2.25%. At September 30, 2008, we had elected the option to use the prime rate at a rate of 5%. Fees paid in connection with this amendment were $10,000 and we deferred these fees and began amortizing them as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the arrangement.

payable and accrued expenses of $14.4 million, an increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings of $2.6 million, an increase in inventory of $1.0 million and an increase in deferred charges and other assets of $0.6 million. Other changes in working capital items used cash of $0.2 million. Our net investment in working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and current portion of debt) at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $25.7 million and $20.8 million, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities related to capital expenditures for property and equipment of $1.6 million compared with $1.2 million for the same period in 2007 and new business acquisitions of $23.5 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared with $7.0 for 2007. We are managing our capital expenditure spending in light of the current level of sales. Additionally, capital expenditures may be incurred depending on the ultimate disposition of our Cincinnati property.

Financing activities provided cash of $23.8 million during the first nine months of 2008 compared with cash provided of $3.4 million during the same period of 2007. The 2008 cash flows consisted primarily of additional borrowing on the credit facility of $14.6 million, new term debt of $5.0 million and new subordinated debt of $4.8 million offset by term debt repayments of $600,000.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management Activities

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk including changes in interest and raw material commodity prices. We may use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate exposures. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values of cash flows of items and transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the values of the derivatives.

Interest Rate Management

We may use interest rate swap contracts to adjust the proportion of our total debt that is subject to variable interest rates. The Company has not entered into any interest rate swap contracts as of September 30, 2008.

The remaining amount of loans outstanding under the Bank Facility bear interest at the floating rates as described in Note 8.

Raw Materials

The profitability of our manufactured products is affected by changing purchase prices of steel and other materials. If higher steel or other material prices cannot be passed on to our customers, operating income will be adversely affected.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, such officers have concluded that these controls and procedures are not effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in ensuring that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. This conclusion was based on the existence of the material weaknesses in our Financial Close and Reporting Process, Information Technology Applications and Infrastructure, Segregation of Duties, and Entity-level Controls as further disclosed in Item 9A (“Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ”) in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “2007 Form 10-K”). A more complete description of these material weaknesses can be found in Item 9A of the 2007 Form 10-K.

The Company is in the process of developing and implementing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses described above. The Company has taken the following actions to improve internal control over financial reporting:

•

Since December 31, 2007, the Finance division has been strengthened by the addition of an Assistant Controller in the Financial Analysis and General Accounting areas. The Company plans to continue to enhance the staffing and competency level within the Finance division.

•

We have engaged four third party professionals to advise the Company in connection with (1) the remediation of existing deficiencies including the conversion to a new information technology enterprise management system, (2) SEC related activities including accounting guidance and periodic reporting, (3) all tax related activities and (4) valuation of goodwill and intangibles.

In addition, the following are specific remedial actions to be taken for matters related to accounting for significant or non-routine transactions:

•

Require all significant or non-routine transactions to be thoroughly researched, analyzed, and documented by qualified accounting personnel. In addition, all major transactions will require the additional review and approval of the Chief Financial Officer.

•

In addition to the review performed by the Company’s management, implement an additional review by subject matter experts for complex accounting estimates and accounting treatments, where appropriate.

•

Develop and implement focused monitoring controls and other procedures in the Internal Audit organization.

•

Develop and implement written policies and procedures governing the financial close and reporting process.

•

Develop and implement effective communications of and education on a control framework and effectively communicate management’s expectations for controls, and business process owners’ accountability for controls.

•

The Company has purchased and is in the process of implementing an integrated software system which includes industry standard and current best practice inherent controls. The new system is expected to address and remediate deficiencies including segregation of duties, security (through access restriction limited to job responsibilities), change control procedures, and reduced use of spreadsheets in preparing financials.

We anticipate the actions described above and resulting improvements in controls will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting including our disclosure controls and procedures and will, over time, address the identified material weaknesses. However, because the remedial actions relate to the hiring of additional personnel and many of the controls in our system of internal controls rely extensively on manual review and approval, the successful operation of these new controls for at least several quarters may be required prior to management being able to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated.

The Company is committed to continuing to improve its internal control processes and will continue to review its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As management continues to evaluate and work to improve the Company’s controls, additional control deficiencies may be identified. Further, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies.

Other than as described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
