Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets Stock Purchase Agreement - ------------------------ On December 7, 1999, CECO Environmental Corp. purchased all the issued stock of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company and kbd/Technic, Inc., two companies with related ownership located in Cincinnati, Ohio (collectively, the "Companies"). The stock of the Companies were purchased from the Blum family and various trusts for their benefit. The Blum family members are the descendents of one of the founders of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company. No member of the Blum family was affiliated with CECO Environmental Corp. prior to the acquisition of the Companies by CECO Environmental Corp. The consideration for each of the acquisitions was determined through arms-length negotiations between CECO Environmental Corp. and the former owners of the Companies. The purchase price was approximately $25 million dollars plus the assumption of $5 million of existing indebtedness of the Companies. Employment Agreements, Bonuses and Stock Purchase Warrants - ---------------------------------------------------------- In connection with such acquisition, CECO Group, Inc. entered into a five year employment agreement with Richard J. Blum. Lawrence J. Blum and David D. Blum entered into five year employment agreements with The Kirk and Blum Manufacturing Company. These employment agreements provide for annual salaries of $206,000, $100,000 and $154,000, respectively, for the three Blums. These agreements granted Richard, Lawrence and David Blum warrants to purchase 448,000, 217,000 and 335,000 shares of common stock of CECO Environmental Corp., respectively, at $2.9375, the closing price of CECO Environmental Corp.'s common stock on December 7, 1999. These warrants become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year over the four years following December 7, 1999. The warrants have a term of ten years. In addition, these employment agreements provide that each of the Blums will be paid a bonus with respect to each of the fiscal years ended as December 31, of 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 equal to, in the aggregate, (i) 25% of the net income before interest and taxes in excess of $4,000,000 of CECO Environmental Corp. as reported on its audited financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such year, less (ii) the contribution made on behalf of such employees to any profit sharing or 401(k) plan by CECO Environmental Corp., CECO Group, Inc., The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company or any affiliate (other than contributions made by the employees) with respect to such fiscal year. Of such aggregate bonus, Richard J. Blum will receive 44.8%, Lawrence J. Blum will receive 21.7% and David D. Blum will receive 33.5%. No such bonus will be paid if CECO Environmental Corp. or CECO Group, Inc. is in default under any financing agreement with any bank or other financial institution or any other material agreement to which CECO 2

Environmental Corp. or CECO Group, Inc. is a party, or the payment of such bonus would cause CECO Environmental Corp. or CECO Group, Inc. to be in default under any such agreement. If no bonuses are paid as a result of the operation of the foregoing sentence, the unpaid bonuses will accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Any accrued and unpaid bonuses and interest will be paid as soon as CECO Environmental Corp. or CECO Filters, Inc. ceases to be in default under such agreements and such payment would not cause a default under any such agreement. The payment of these bonuses is also subject to a subordination agreement between the employees and the banks providing financing for the acquisition of the Companies. Bank Financing - -------------- The financing for the transaction was provided by a bank loan facility in the amount of $25 million in term loans and a $10 million revolving credit facility. The $14.5 term loan has a maturity of November 30, 2004; the $8.5 million term loan has a maturity of May 31, 2006; and the $2 million term loan has a maturity of 90 days of December 7, 1999. Interim payments of principal are required with respect to the $14.5 million and the $8.5 million term loans. CECO Environmental Corp. intends to borrow against the cash value of life insurance owned by The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company in order to repay the $2 million term loan due 90 days after December 7, 1999. The bank loan facility was provided by PNC Bank, National Association, The Fifth Third Bank and Bank One, N.A. In addition, as a condition to obtaining the bank financing, CECO Environmental Corp. placed $5 million of subordinated debt. The proceeds of the bank loans and the additional $5 million of subordinated debt were used to pay the purchase prices for the Companies, to pay expenses incurred in connection with the acquisitions, to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital purposes. In connection with these loans, the banks providing the loan facility received a lien on substantially all the assets of CECO Environmental Corp. and its subsidiaries. Subordinated Debt - ----------------- The subordinated debt was provided to CECO Environmental Corp. in the amount of $4,000,000 by Green Diamond Oil Corp., $500,000 by ICS Trustee Services, Inc. and $500,000 by Harvey Sandler. ICS Trustee Services, Inc. and Harvey Sandler are not affiliated with the Company. Green Diamond Oil Corp. is owned 50% by Phillip DeZwirek, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of CECO Environmental Corp. and a major stockholder and 50% by Jason DeZwirek, Phillip DeZwirek's son and a director and secretary of CECO Environmental Corp. and a major stockholder of CECO Environmental Corp. The promissory notes which were issued to evidence the subordinated debt provide that they accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable semi-annually subject to the subordination agreement with the banks providing the financing referred to above. 3

In consideration for the subordinated lenders making CECO Environmental Corp. the subordinated loans, CECO Environmental Corp. issued to the subordinated lenders warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of CECO Environmental Corporation common stock for $2.25 per share, the closing price of CECO Environmental Corp. common stock on the day that the subordinated lenders entered into an agreement with CECO Environmental Corp. to provide the subordinated loans. The warrants are exercisable from June 6, 2000 until 5:30 p.m. New York time on December 7, 2009. In connection with such warrants, the subordinated lenders were granted certain registration rights with respect to their warrants and shares of common stock of CECO Environmental Corp. into which the warrants are convertible. The KBD/Technic, Inc. Voting Trust - ---------------------------------- One of the Companies being acquired, kbd/Technic, Inc., may engage in engineering services in the State of Ohio and in other states. In order to be corporation licensed to perform engineering services in the state of Ohio, Ohio law requires that a majority of the stock of kbd/Technic, Inc. be owned by a licensed engineer. CECO Group, Inc. has therefore arranged that the stock of kbd/Technic, Inc. be owned by a voting trust of which Richard J. Blum, the president of CECO Group, Inc., is the trustee. CECO Group, Inc. remains the beneficial owner of 100% of the stock of kbd/Technic, Inc. The Business of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company and kbd/Technic, Inc. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The newly acquired Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company ("K&B"), with headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a leading provider of turnkey engineering, design, manufacturing and installation services in the air pollution control industry. K&B's business is focused on designing, building, and installing clean air systems inside manufacturing plants, as well as systems that purify emissions from manufacturing facilities. K&B serves its customers from offices and plants in Cincinnati, OH, Indianapolis, IN, Louisville and Lexington, KY, Columbia, TN, and Greensboro, NC. In October 1998, Engineering News Record ranked K&B as the largest specialty sheet metal contractor in the country. With a diversified base of more than 1,500 active customers, K&B provides services to a number of industries including aerospace, ceramics, metalworking, printing, paper, food, foundries, metal plating, woodworking, chemicals, tobacco, glass, automotive, and pharmaceuticals. No customer accounted for more than 8% of total 1998 revenue, while the top 50 customers accounted for approximately 54% of K&B's revenues. K&B has four lines of business, all evolving from the original air pollution systems business. The largest division, located in six strategic locations and accounting for 76% of net sales in 1998, is the Air Pollution Control Systems Division. This division fabricates and installs industrial ventilation, dust, fume, and mist control systems, as well as automotive spray booth systems, industrial and process piping, and other industrial sheet metal work. Well known customers include General Motors, Procter & Gamble, Ingersoll Milling Machine, Toyota, Saturn, Matsushita, and Alcoa. 4

The Custom Metal Fabrication Division accounted for 11% of net sales in 1998. This division fabricates parts, subassemblies, and customized products for air pollution and non-air pollution applications from sheet, plate, and structurals. The Air Pollution Control Systems Division purchases products and services from this division and accounted for 12% of its total sales in 1998. This relationship gives K&B the ability to meet project schedules and cost targets in air pollution control projects while generating additional fabrication revenue in support of non-air pollution control industries in the tri-state region surrounding Cincinnati. External customers include Siemens Energy & Automation, Duriron and Eastman Chemical. At the end of 1998 in an effort to reduce overhead, the Custom Metal Fabrication Division was merged into the Cincinnati Air Pollution Control Systems Division operation. The Component Parts Division accounted for 11% of net sales in 1998. This division provides standard and custom components for contractors and companies that design and/or install their own air systems. Products include angle rings, elbows, cut-offs, and other components used in ventilation systems. Major distributors of this division's products include N.B. Handy, Three States Supply, Albina Pipe Bending, and Indiana Supply. Kbd/Technic, Inc., a sister company of K&B, is a specialty engineering firm concentrating in industrial ventilation. Services offered include air system testing and balancing, source emission testing, industrial ventilation engineering, turnkey project engineering (civil/structural, electrical), sound and vibration system engineering, and other special projects. In addition to generating service revenue, kbd/Technic, Inc. often serves as a referral source for other K&B divisions. Customers include General Motors, Ford, Baldwin Graphic Products, Emtec, and Heidelberg & Harris. K&B has approximately 550 full-time employees, including approximately 425 shop and field personnel represented by unions. The level of field personnel fluctuates with the level of work. Union contracts with shop and field personnel expire on various dates at various locations. Change in Corporate Structure - ----------------------------- As part of the acquisition of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company, CECO Environmental Corp. created CECO Group, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of holding all the stock of its operating companies. Immediately following the acquisition of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company, CECO Group, Inc. beneficially owned The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company, kbd/Technic, Inc. (through the voting trust referred to above) and the approximately 94% of CECO Filters, Inc. formerly held by CECO Environmental Corp. The other operating companies controlled by CECO Environmental Corp. are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CECO Filters, Inc. 5

On December 10, 1999, pursuant to his employment contract with CECO Group, Inc., Richard J. Blum, the president of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company, was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of CECO Group, Inc. CECO Environmental Corp. has no plans to change the business of these two companies and will integrate these companies with the existing businesses of CECO Environmental Corp. Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits: (a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired. No financial statements are included for kbd/Technic, Inc., the second company acquired, because kbd/Technic, Inc. constitutes a financially insignificant portion of the businesses acquired. The financial statements of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 and other data are presented on the following pages: 6

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business - The Company manufactures and fabricates custom sheet metal products which include dust and fume control systems, automotive paint booths, tanks and sheet metal component parts. Sales are made on an unsecured basis to customers located throughout the United States. Revenue Recognition - For financial reporting purposes, the Company records revenue on all significant contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion is determined by experienced company personnel on a contract-by-contract basis based on labor and/or material costs incurred relative to total estimated contract costs. The specific method chosen is the most applicable based on the nature of each contract. The contract price is recognized as revenue based upon the percentage of completion. If the contract extends beyond one year and revisions are necessary in cost and profit estimates during the course of the work, they are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts giving rise to the revision become known. General and administrative expenses are charged to expense when incurred. The Company uses the completed-contract method of accounting for all contracts where nominal costs have been incurred prior to year-end or the total contract value is relatively insignificant. Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Inventories - The labor content of work-in-process and finished products and all inventories of steel of the Company are valued at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. All other inventories of the Company are accounted for at the lower of average cost or market. If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation had been used by the Company for all classes of inventory, the carrying value of inventories would have been approximately $1,817,000 higher than that reported at December 31, 1996. Depreciation - Depreciation and amortization are computed generally on accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Credit Risk - As of December 31, 1996, the Company's cash on deposit with its bank exceeded the federally insured amount. Income Taxes - The Company's shareholders have elected to be treated as an S-Corporation for income tax reporting purposes and, thereby, have the Company's taxable income pass 7

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) through to its shareholders to be taxed on their individual returns. Certain state and local taxing authorities do not recognize S-Corporation status as allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. In these situations, the Company has provided for income taxes at appropriate rates on applicable taxable income. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON CONTRACTS At year end, the Company has several uncompleted construction projects at stages of completion ranging from 5% to 99%. Costs and estimated earnings on these contracts consist of the following at December 31: Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts $7,079,266 Estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts 1,133,506 ---------- 8,212,772 Less billings to date ( 6,014,227) ---------- $2,198,545 ========== The above amounts are reflected in the financial statements as follows: Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts $3,131,953 Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts ( 933,408) ---------- $2,198,545 ========== 3. INVESTMENTS Available-For-Sale Securities - Available-for-sale securities consist of investments in a mutual fund at December 31, 1996.

Debt Securities to be Held-to-Maturity - Debt securities to be held-to-maturity at December 31 consist of the following: Zero coupon municipal bonds, carried at amortized cost maturing through March, 1998. $745,363 Notes receivable 7,500 -------- $752,863 ======== 8

The face amount and fair value of the municipal bonds were $800,000 and $729,487 at December 31, 1996, respectively. 4. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT The Company has available through July 11, 1997, a $6,000,000 line-of-credit which bears interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1996). The Company has the option at any time to adjust the interest rate to the London Inter-Bank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 200 basis points. The line-of-credit is unsecured and, at December 31, 1996, had no outstanding borrowings. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt at December 31 consists of the following: Notes payable to the beneficiaries of an estate of a former shareholder in annual installments of $10,000 plus interest at 6% with payment of the remaining principal and interest due in 1998, secured by 40,000 shares of treasury common stock. $733,670 Less current portion ( 10,000) -------- $723,670 ======== Future maturities of long-term debt are as follows: Year Ending December 31, 1997 $ 10,000 1998 723,670 -------- $733,670 ======== 6.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Accounts Receivable - The Company has a non-interest bearing receivable due from an entity which is related through common ownership. The receivable results from expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the related entity, including 401(k) contributions, utility expenses and insurance expenses. The Company also leases space on a month-to-month basis to the related entity for $1,500 per month. Rental income for this related entity was $18,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. Note Payable - The Company has an unsecured $320,000 demand note payable to The Factory Power Company, an entity in which the Company has stock ownership. Interest is due monthly at the London Inter-Bank offered rate (LIBOR) (5.5% at December 31, 1996) plus .75%. 8. COMMON STOCK AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT Under agreements with certain employee/shareholders, the Company is required to redeem their holdings of common stock in the event of the employee's death, desire to sell, termination of employment, or retirement. Shares purchased by the employee/shareholders prior to December 14, 1969 (1,750 shares) are redeemable at 75% of the book value per share of the Company for the fiscal year end preceding the date of the transaction. 10

8. COMMON STOCK AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT (Continued) Under agreements with certain other shareholders, the Company has the right of first refusal regarding the sale or other transfer of the Company's common stock. On March 19, 1997, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and authorized 300,000 shares of no par value common stock, of which 75,000 shares are Class A voting and 225,000 shares of Class B non-voting common stock. Each shareholder has the same rights and privileges except that the Class B non-voting shareholders cannot vote. The Company issued 188,010 shares of Class B non-voting common stock. 9. LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company is committed under noncancelable operating lease agreements to lease certain plant facilities, computer equipment and other equipment through January, 1998. Future minimum annual operating lease payments are approximately as follows: Year Ending December 31, 1997 $ 96,000 1998 4,000 -------- $100,000 ======== Total rental expense was approximately $1,107,000 for 1996. 10. PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS The Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for certain union employees. The plan is funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Net periodic pension cost for the fiscal period ended December 31, 1996 is as follows: Service cost $155,400 Interest cost 183,700 Return on plan assets ( 168,300) Net amortization and deferral ( 47,600) -------- Net periodic pension cost $123,200 ======== 11

10. PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS (Continued) The following reconciles the funded status of the defined benefit plan with amounts recognized in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31: Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Vested benefits $2,641,360 Nonvested benefits 44,712 ---------- Accumulated benefit obligation 2,686,072 Effect of anticipated future events 393,515 ---------- Projected benefit obligation 3,079,587 Plan assets at fair value ( 2,594,413) ---------- Unfunded excess of projected benefit obligation over plan assets $ 485,174 ========== The unfunded excess consists of the following: Unamortized prior service costs $188,333 Unrecognized net asset at transition ( 158,800) Unrecognized net loss 694,848 Prepaid pension asset ( 239,207) -------- $485,174 ======== Unamortized prior service cost $188,333 Unrecognized net asset at transition ( 158,800) Unrecognized net loss 694,848 Prepaid pension asset ( 239,207) -------- $485,174 ======== The Company has recognized the excess of the accumulated benefit obligation in excess of the plan assets, the minimum liability, of $91,659, in the balance sheet at December 31, 1996. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the net periodic pension income and the projected benefit obligation was 7% for the year ended December 31, 1996. The expected rate of return on plan assets utilized was 8.5% for the year ended December 31, 1996. Benefits under the plan are not based on wages and, therefore, future wage adjustments have no effect on the projected benefit obligation. The Company also sponsors a post retirement health care plan for office employees. Effective January 1, 1990, the plan was amended and retirees after that date are not eligible to receive benefits under the plan. The plan allows retirees who have attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired. The following amounts relate to the Company's defined benefit post retirement health care plan at December 31, 1996. 12

10. PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS (Continued) Benefit obligation $686,349 Fair value of plan assets - -------- Funded status ($686,349) ======== Accrued benefit cost recognized in the statement of financial position $686,349 Weighted average assumption - discount rate 7% Benefits under the plan are not based on wages and, therefore, future wage adjustments have no effect on the projected benefit obligation. For measurement purposes, a 7% annual rate of increase in the cost of health care benefits was assumed for 1996. The rate was assumed to increase through 2004 at 4% to 6%. Benefit cost $113,150 Company distributions 121,225 Benefits paid 121,225 In addition to the above, the Company contributes to several multi-employer defined benefit plans. These plans cover substantially all of its contracted union employees not covered in the aforementioned plan. If the Company were to withdraw from its participation in these multi-employer plans at that time, the Company will be required to contribute its share of the Plan's unfunded benefit obligation. Management has no intention of withdrawing from any plan and, therefore, no liability has been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The Company also sponsors a profit sharing and 401(k) savings retirement plan for non-union employees. The plan covers substantially all employees who have completed one year of service, completed 1,000 hours of service and who have attained 21 years of age. The plan allows the Company to make discretionary contributions and provides for employee salary reductions of up to 15%. The Company provides matching contributions of 25% of the first 5% of employee contributions. Matching contributions during 1996 were $57,185. Discretionary contributions for the year ended December 31, 1996 were $542,815. Amounts charged to pension expense under the above plans totaled approximately $1,224,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. 11. SELF-INSURANCE COVERAGES The Company is self-insured for workers compensation coverage in the state of Ohio, in accordance with the requirements of the state. In Ohio, the Company will pay all eligible workers 13

11. SELF-INSURANCE COVERAGES (Continued) compensation claims up to $350,000 per individual and the statutory limit in the aggregate for the state. All eligible claims in excess of these amounts are covered under a policy with an insurance company. The balance sheet includes a liability of $440,263 at December 31, 1996 for claims incurred. 12. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment at December 31, 1996 consist of the following: Land $ 247,773 Buildings and improvements 4,749,771 Machinery and equipment 8,204,993 Automotive 733,332 Office furniture and fixtures 1,223,776 ----------- 15,159,645 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization ( 12,197,255) ----------- Net property, plant and equipment $ 2,962,390 =========== 13. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable at December 31, 1996 includes unbilled amounts of $2,477,066. Unbilled amounts at year end represent work performed during the year which are not billed until January of the following year. 14. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT Shareholders' equity at December 31, 1995 has been adjusted to correct an error for not previously recording a minimum pension liability relating to a defined benefit plan for union employees. The accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the plan assets at December 31, 1995. The error had no effect on net income for 1996. The accompanying 1996 financial statements have been restated to correct for errors associated with the underrecording of liabilities related to self insured workers compensation for the State of Ohio and benefits due under a retiree health care plan. The net effect was to decrease net income for 1996 by $121,898. Retained earnings at the beginning of 1996 has been decreased by $1,004,714 for the effects of not recording the liabilities at December 31, 1995. 14

THE KIRK & BLUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business - The Company manufactures and fabricates custom sheet metal products which include dust and fume control systems, automotive paint booths, tanks and sheet metal component parts. Sales are made on an unsecured basis to customers located throughout the United States. Revenue Recognition - For financial reporting purposes, the Company records revenue on all significant contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion is determined by experienced company personnel on a contract-by-contract basis based in part on costs incurred, efforts expended and results achieved. The specific method chosen is the most applicable based on the nature of each contract. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term. The contract price is recognized as revenue based upon the percentage of completion. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. General and administrative expenses are charged to expense when incurred. The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. The Company uses the completed-contract method of accounting for all contracts where nominal costs have been incurred prior to year-end or the total contract value is relatively insignificant. Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Inventories - The labor content of work-in-process and finished products and all inventories of steel of the Company are valued at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. All other inventories of the Company are accounted for at the lower of average cost or market. If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation had been used by the Company for all classes of inventory, the carrying value of inventories would have been 7

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) approximately $2,026,000 and $1,978,000 higher than that reported at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Depreciation - Depreciation and amortization are computed generally on accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Credit Risk - As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company's cash on deposit with its bank exceeded the federally insured amount. Income Taxes - The Company's shareholders have elected to be treated as an S-Corporation for income tax reporting purposes and, thereby, have the Company's taxable income pass through to its shareholders to be taxed on their individual returns. Certain state and local taxing authorities do not recognize S-Corporation status as allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. In these situations, the Company has provided for income taxes at appropriate rates on applicable taxable income. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Advertising - The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $150,000 and $100,000 for 1998 and 1997, respectively. 2. COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON CONTRACTS At year end, the Company has several uncompleted construction projects at stages of completion ranging from 5% to 99%. Costs and estimated earnings on these contracts consist of the following at December 31: 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts $6,645,680 $6,492,702 Estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts 1,214,520 871,535 ---------- ---------- 7,860,200 7,364,237 Less billings to date (6,195,273) (6,693,526) ---------- ---------- $1,664,927 $ 670,711 ========== ========== 2.

If elected, the Company must select a LIBOR interest period between 30 and 360 days. Interest is due at the end of the selected period at the applicable LIBOR rate. The Company has elected the LIBOR rate and a 30 day interest period at December 31, 1998. The 30 day LIBOR rate at December 31, 1998 was 5.06%. The line-of-credit is unsecured.

The receivable results from expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the related entity, including 401(k) contributions, utility expenses and insurance expenses. The Company also leases space on a month-to-month basis to the related entity for approximately $1,800 per month. Rental income from this related entity was $21,600 and $21,700 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 9

8.

THE KIRK & BLUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business - The Company manufactures and fabricates custom sheet metal products which include dust and fume control systems, automotive paint booths, tanks and sheet metal component parts. Sales are made on an unsecured basis to customers located throughout the United States. Revenue Recognition - For financial reporting purposes, the Company records revenue on all significant contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion is determined by experienced company personnel on a contract-by-contract basis based in part on costs incurred, efforts expended and results achieved. The specific method chosen is the most applicable based on the nature of each contract. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term. The contract price is recognized as revenue based upon the percentage of completion. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. General and administrative expenses are charged to expense when incurred. The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. The Company uses the completed-contract method of accounting for all contracts where nominal costs have been incurred prior to the end of the nine months or the total contract value is relatively insignificant. Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Inventories - The labor content of work-in-process and finished products and all inventories of steel of the Company are valued at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. All other inventories of the Company are accounted for at the lower of average cost or market. If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation had been used by the Company for all classes of inventory, the carrying value of inventories would have been 7

THE KIRK & BLUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) approximately $2,212,000 higher than that reported at September 30, 1999. Depreciation - Depreciation and amortization are computed generally on accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Credit Risk - As of September 30, 1999, the Company's cash on deposit with its bank exceeded the federally insured amount. Income Taxes - The Company's shareholders have elected to be treated as an S-Corporation for income tax reporting purposes and, thereby, have the Company's taxable income pass through to its shareholders to be taxed on their individual returns. Certain state and local taxing authorities do not recognize S-Corporation status as allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. In these situations, the Company has provided for income taxes at appropriate rates on applicable taxable income. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Advertising - The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $52,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. 2. COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON CONTRACTS At September 30, 1999, the Company had several uncompleted construction projects at stages of completion ranging from 5% to 99%. Costs and estimated earnings on these contracts consisted of the following at September 30: Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts $16,866,671 Estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts 1,284,540 ----------- 18,151,211 Less billings to date (12,365,099) ----------- $ 5,786,112 =========== The above amounts are reflected in the financial statements as follows: Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts $5,950,927 Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts ( 164,815) ---------- $5,786,112 ========== 8

THE KIRK & BLUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 3. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT The Company has available through April 30, 2001, a $12,000,000 line-of-credit which bears interest at either the bank's prime rate minus 125 basis points or the London Inter-Bank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 100 basis points. The Company may elect the LIBOR rate on all or any portion of the outstanding line of credit balance, in minimum amounts of $250,000. If elected, the Company must select a LIBOR interest period between 30 and 360 days. Interest is due at the end of the selected period at the applicable LIBOR rate. The Company has elected the LIBOR rate and a 30 day interest period at September 30, 1999. The 30 day LIBOR rate at September 30, 1999 was 5.38%. The line-of-credit is unsecured. The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants regarding minimum net worth and debt to equity under this agreement. As part of the acquisition discussed Note 11, the revolving line of credit was refinanced in full by CECO Environmental Corp. 4. CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS The Company leases equipment under capital lease obligations expiring through April, 2001. The assets are being amortized over the related lease terms.

The receivable results from expenses paid 9

Rental income from this related entity was $16,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. 6. COMMON STOCK Under agreements with certain employee/shareholders, the Company is required to redeem their holdings of common stock in the event of the employee's death, desire to sell, termination of employment, or retirement. Shares purchased by the employee/shareholders prior to December 14, 1969 (1,750 shares) are redeemable at 75% of the book value per share of the Company for the fiscal year end preceding the date of the transaction. Under agreements with certain other shareholders, the Company has the right of first refusal regarding the sale or other transfer of the Company's common stock. On March 19, 1997, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and authorized 300,000 shares of no par value common stock, of which 75,000 shares are Class A voting and 225,000 shares of Class B non-voting common stock.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information presents the pro forma consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999, giving effect to the acquisition of 100% of the common stock of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company and kbd/Technic, Inc. (collectively referred to as "K & B") as if it had been consummated on those dates. Also presented are the pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999, giving effect as if the acquisition had been consummated as of the beginning of the respective periods presented. The pro forma data is based on the historical combined statements of CECO Environmental Corp., The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company, and kbd/Technic, Inc. giving effect to the purchase method of accounting and to the assumptions and adjustments (which the Company believes to be reasonable) described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information. Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of the acquisition. The pro forma adjustments set forth in the following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed information are estimated and may differ from the actual adjustments when they become known. However, no material differences are anticipated by the Company. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information does not reflect certain cost savings that the Company believes will be realized following the K & B acquisition. Such cost savings are expected to be realized primarily by significantly eliminating the use of subcontractors by the Company's subsidiary, New Busch Co., Inc., which it relies upon heavily in the fabrication of products for its customers. In addition, the Company believes that a significant amount of overhead expenses will be eliminated as the result of efficiencies to be achieved from the combination of the Company with K & B. The pro forma data is provided for comparative purposes only. It does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if such acquisition had been consummated on the dates indicated or that may be obtained in the future. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto, the audited financial statements of The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company for the year ended December 31, 1998 and its unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, and the Company's consolidated financial statements, incorporated herein by reference.
