CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company The Company's consolidated cash and marketable securities position increased from $1,427,695 at December 31, 1996 to $1,907,966 at June 30, 1997. This increase of $480,271 is attributable principally to the source of cash from operating activities of $1,149,870 (excluding activities involving marketable securities) during the six months ended June 30, 1997. The cash generation is the result of a substantial increase in net income compared to the same period in the previous year and the collection of accounts receivable offset by payments for accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes. A portion of this increase was offset by the use of $211,305 of cash in investing activities for the acquisition of equipment and intangible assets and the use of $458,294 in financing activities to repay debt. Management believes that CECO's expected revenues from operations, supplemented by the available line of credit, will be sufficient to provide adequate cash to fund anticipated working capital and other cash needs during the remainder of the year. The Company and CECO have entered into a five-year management and consulting agreement during 1994 pursuant to which the Company provides management and financial consulting services to CECO for a monthly fee of $20,000 until the agreement expires in December, 1998. The Company believes its consulting agreement with CECO and investment income from its investment in marketable securities should provide sufficient revenue to meet its general and administrative expenses. Results of Operations - The Company The Company's consolidated statement of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 reflects the operations of the Company consolidated with the operations of CECO. As a result of multiple stock acquisitions, the Company, effective April 7, 1993, owned a greater than 50% interest in CECO. Minority interest in the consolidated statement of operations has been presented as a reduction in net income or loss. The Company received $60,000 during each quarter for management and financial consulting services provided to CECO. This amount is not reflected in the consolidated results of operations since it is eliminated in consolidation. Except as set forth above, the Company has no other income, revenues or expenses other than as a result of its investment in CECO and its investment in marketable securities and except for its investment activities the Company does not engage in operations other than through its operating subsidiary, CECO. CECO is comprised of the CECO Group of companies - CECO Filters, Inc., Air Purator Corporation, Compliance Systems International, Inc., and U.S. Facilities Management Company, Inc. - which provide innovative solutions to air quality problems through particle and chemical control technologies and services. - -6-

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED (unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CECO manufacturers and markets filters known as fiber bed mist eliminators, designed to trap, collect and remove solid soluble and liquid particulate matter suspended in an air or other gas stream whether generated from a point source emission or otherwise. Air Purator Corporation ("APC"), designs and manufactures high performance filter media and bags for use in high temperature pulse-jet baghouses, the most effective type of baghouse for capturing submicron particulate from gas streams. Compliance Systems International ("CSI") offers innovative patented technologies, Catenary Grid(R) and Narrow Gap Venturi(TM), designed for use with heat and mass transfer operations and particulate control. CSI also offers a complete range of air quality consulting services using a proprietary network of industry experts with years of air quality and purification system knowledge. U.S. Facilities Management Company, Inc. ("USFM") provides facilities management and software, as well as outsourced plant-wide maintenance management to help customers achieve their performance goals. Results of Operations - CECO (Company's Subsidiary) Comparison of Six Months ended June 30, 1997 to Six Months ended June 30, 1996 Sales were approximately $5.5 million and $4.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of 35.8% from 1996 to 1997. The increase in sales from 1996 to 1997 resulted primarily from more sales orders and higher backlog at the end of 1996. APC's sales increased by 71% compared to the same period in the previous year. Sales of our core CECO filter media benefited from contractual supply agreements in the private sector. These increases were offset by a reduction of new system sales of CSI scrubbers and CECO mist eliminators caused by capital spending constraints in our targeted market segments. CECO's backlog of orders at June 30, 1997 was approximately $1.5 million as compared to $3.3 million at June 30, 1996. There can be no assurance that order backlog will be replicated, or increased or that it will translate into higher revenues in the future. The success of CECO's operating results can be significantly impacted by the introduction of new products and/or new manufacturing technologies by competitors, rapid change in the demand for its products, decrease in the average selling price over the life of a product as competition increases, and CECO's implementation of its target marketing approach. CECO's overall cost of sales slightly decreased as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 (51.2%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996 (52.3%). The decrease can be attributed to decreases in raw material costs as well as lower costs incurred to service CECO's products. CECO's selling and administrative expenses amounted to $1,897,766 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1,520,748 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, representing an increase of $377,018 or 24.8%. A substantial portion of the selling and administrative expenses are fixed in nature. However, sales and customer service positions were increased as part of CECO's overall restructuring to strengthen marketing approach and accommodate anticipated growth. In addition, a portion of this increase in selling and administrative expenses resulted from the newly formed subsidiary, USFM. - -7-

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED (unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During 1994, CECO entered into a management and consulting agreement with the Company, a majority shareholder of CECO. The terms of the agreement require payment of fees of $20,000 per month from January, 1995 through December, 1998 in exchange for management and financial consulting services involving corporate policies; marketing; strategic and financial planning; and mergers, acquisitions and related matters. CECO incurred management fees to the Company of $120,000 during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Interest expense decreased during the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, when compared to the same period in 1996. The decrease in interest expense can be attributed to non-utilization of the line of credit. CECO generated pre-tax income of $404,056 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared to pre-tax income of $15,792 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996. This change is attributed principally to the increase in sales as well as the increase in gross margins for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to same period in 1996. The provision for federal and state tax income taxes for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $161,000 compared to $8,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996. Comparison of Three Months ended June 30, 1997 to Three Months ended June 30, 1996 Sales were approximately $2.9 million and $1.9 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This represents an increase of 56.2% compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996. CECO's overall cost of sales slightly decreased as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease can be attributed to lower raw material costs as well as lower costs incurred to service CECO's products. CECO continues to use the latest technology available in an effort to reduce both cost of sales (and the maintenance of optimal inventory levels) and operating expenses, and ultimately increase overall company profits. CECO's selling and administrative expenses amounted to $1,019,619 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to $733,168 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996, representing an increase of $286,451 or 39%, for the same reasons described in the six-month comparison described previously. CECO paid the Company $60,000 during each of the three-months periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 in connection with its management consulting agreement. Interest expense decreased during the three-month period ended June 30, 1997, when compared to the same period in 1996, due to lower utilization of the line of credit. CECO generated pre-tax income of $244,941 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997, as compared to a pre-tax loss of $9,454 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996. This change is attributed principally to the increase in sales along with the increase in gross margins. The provision for federal and state income taxes for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $97,400 as compared to the credit for federal and state income taxes of $2,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996. - -8-
