This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Report are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. These forward-looking statements include statements that reflect the current views of our senior management with respect to our financial performance and future events with respect to our business and our industry in general. Statements that include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
• | adverse changes in the current global economic or political environment or in the markets in which we operate, including the natural gas infrastructure, power generation, and petrochemical and processing industries; |
• | compliance with United States and foreign laws and regulations, including export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations, which are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time; |
• | changes in current environmental legislation or regulations; |
• | risks associated with our indebtedness, the terms of our credit agreements and our ability to raise additional capital; |
• | changes in competition; |
• | changes in demand for our products; |
• | our ability to realize the full value of our backlog and the timing of our receipt of revenue under contracts included in backlog; |
• | risks associated with our product warranties; and |
• | changes in the price, supply or demand for natural gas, bio fuel, oil or coal. |
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the information in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 and Part II of this Report. There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by law.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of PMFG, Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. References to “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to PMFG, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 29, 2012 and for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
Each of the Company’s interim reporting periods ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. The second quarter of 2013 and 2012 ended on December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. References to “fiscal 2013” and “fiscal 2012” refer to fiscal years ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
Basis of Consolidation
The Company’s financial statements for all periods presented are consolidated to include the accounts of all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is the majority owner of Peerless Propulsys China Holdings LLC (“Peerless Propulsys”). The Company’s 60% equity investment in Peerless Propulsys entitles it to 80% of the earnings. Peerless Propulsys is the sole owner of Peerless China Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (“PCMC”), formerly known as Peerless Manufacturing (Zhenjiang) Co. Ltd. The non-controlling interest of Peerless Propulsys is reported as a separate component on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts that normally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. As of December 29, 2012, cash held in the United States exceeded federally insured limits by $10.2 million. The Company has not experienced any losses related to this cash concentration.
The Company had restricted cash balances of $8.5 million and $7.9 million as of December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Foreign restricted cash balances were $8.0 million and $7.8 million as of December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Cash balances were restricted to collateralize letters of credit and financial institution guarantees issued in the normal course of business.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are due from companies in various industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. Generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than contractual payment terms

are considered past due. The Company records an allowance on a specific basis by considering a number of factors, including the length of time the accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the industry and the economy as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed to be uncollectible. Payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period the payment is received.
Changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows (in thousands):

Inventories
The Company values its inventory using the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company regularly reviews the value of inventory on hand, using specific aging categories, and records a provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory based on historical usage and estimated future usage. In assessing the ultimate realization of its inventory, the Company is required to make judgments as to future demand requirements. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by the Company, adjustments to inventory valuations may be required.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over a period considered adequate to depreciate the total cost over the useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Buildings and improvements | 5 – 40 years | |
Equipment | 3 – 10 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 – 15 years |
Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements that extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the safety or the efficiency of property owned are capitalized. Major improvements to leased buildings are capitalized as leasehold improvements and amortized over the shorter of the estimated life or the lease term.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If conditions indicate an asset might be impaired, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The impairment would be measured by the amount by which the asset exceeds its fair value, typically represented by the discounted cash flows associated with the asset.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired upon acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, however, it is measured at the reporting unit level to test for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary. A discounted future cash flow analysis is primarily used to determine whether impairment exists. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, then the Company writes down goodwill to its estimated fair value.
Intangible assets subject to amortization include licensing agreements, customer relationships and acquired sales order backlog. These intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized. Intangible assets considered to have indefinite lives include trade names and design guidelines. The Company evaluates the recoverability of indefinite lived intangible assets annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company uses the market and income approach methods to determine whether impairment exists.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales taxes, from product sales or services provided when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company provides certain products under long-term, generally fixed-priced, contracts that may extend over multiple financial periods, where revenue and cost of sales are recognized in accordance with accounting rules relating to construction-type and production-type contracts. Amounts recognized in revenue are calculated using the percentage of cost completed, generally on a cumulative cost to estimated total cost basis. This method requires the Company to make estimates regarding the total costs of the project at completion, which impacts the amount of gross margin the Company recognizes in each reporting period. The Company routinely reviews its estimates relating to estimated total costs at completion and recognizes changes in those estimates as they are determined. The percentage-of-completion method generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent profit margins over the life of a contract. Anticipated losses on these contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Cumulative revenue recognized may be less or greater than cumulative costs and profits billed at any point during a contract’s term. The resulting difference is recognized as “costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” or “billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contracts that are considered short-term in nature and require less product customization are accounted for under the completed contract method. Revenue under the completed contract method is recognized upon shipment of the product.
Pre-contract, Start-up and Commissioning Costs
The Company does not consider the realization of any individual sales order as probable prior to order acceptance. Therefore, pre-contract costs incurred prior to sales order acceptance are included as a component of operating

expenses when incurred. Some of the Company’s contracts require the installation and placing in service of the product after it is distributed to the end user. The costs of start-up and commissioning and the related revenue associated with the relevant percentage of completion of these projects are recognized in the period incurred.
Warranty Costs
The Company provides to its customers product warranties for specific products during a defined period of time, generally less than 18 months after shipment of the product. Warranties cover the failure of a product to perform after it has been placed in service. The Company reserves for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which the revenue is recognized based on historical experience, expectation of future conditions, and the extent of backup concurrent supplier warranties in place. Warranty costs are included in the cost of goods sold.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach in its reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. Income tax related interest and penalties are included in income tax expense. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, if that position is “more likely than not” of being sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position.
The Company is required to estimate income taxes in each jurisdiction in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, the Company’s provision for income taxes could be materially impacted.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company calculates earnings (loss) per common share by dividing the earnings (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants granted using the treasury stock method. Warrants to acquire 839,063 shares of common stock were omitted from the calculation of dilutive securities for the six months ended December 29, 2012, because they were anti-dilutive. Options to acquire 47,200 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 1,310,673 shares of common stock were omitted from the calculation of dilutive securities for the six months ended December 31, 2011, because they were anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

In September 2012, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and other financial institutions party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, revolving credit commitments of $30.0 million to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, term loan commitments of $2.0 million to be used for the purchase or refinancing of equipment for a new manufacturing facility in Denton, Texas (“Term Loan A”) and term loan commitments of $10.0 million to fund the construction of the new Denton facility (“Term Loan B”). All borrowings and other obligations of the Company are guaranteed by substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. During the quarter ended December 29, 2012, $1.6 million was drawn against Term Loan B.

7. DEBT—CONTINUED
The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement will terminate on September 30, 2015, and all revolving credit loans mature on that date. Under the revolving credit facility, the Company has a maximum borrowing availability equal to the lesser of (a) $30.0 million or (b) the sum of 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory plus 100% of the cash amount held in a special collateral account less a foreign currency letter of credit reserve. At December 29, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings and approximately $9.2 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, leaving the Company with approximately $3.8 million of available capacity for additional borrowings and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement.
The term loan commitments expire 18 months after the date of the Credit Agreement. Beginning June 30, 2014, the Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loans that were incurred during that 18-month period. Term Loan A matures in 2019 and Term Loan B matures in 2022. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain an interest rate protection agreement with respect to at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the term loans.
Interest on all loans must generally be paid quarterly. Interest rates on term loans use floating rates plus 1/2 of 1% up to 2%, plus a margin of between 0 to 75 basis points based upon the Company’s consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four consecutive fiscal quarters.
At December 29, 2012, the Company was required to maintain a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (“CTL”) not to exceed 1.75 to 1.00 and a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSC”) of not less than 1.50 to 1.00. The CTL ratio is calculated as the ratio of the Company’s aggregate total liabilities to the sum of the excess of the Company’s total assets over its total liabilities as each is determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The DSC ratio is calculated as the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA less certain restricted cash payments, capitalized expenditures and taxes to the Company’s consolidated fixed charges, which is the sum of the Company’s current maturities of long-term debt and the amount of cash paid for interest on a trailing twelve month basis. The Credit Agreement also contains other covenants, including restrictions on additional debt, dividends, capital expenditures, acquisitions and dispositions. At December 29, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
The Company’s U.K. subsidiary has a debenture agreement used to facilitate issuances of letters of credit and bank guarantees of £6.0 million ($9.7 million) at December 29, 2012 and £6.0 million ($9.4 million) at June 30, 2012. This facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s U.K. subsidiary and by a cash deposit of £4.2 million ($6.8 million) at December 29, 2012 and £4.1 million ($6.4 million) at June 30, 2012, which is recorded as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 29, 2012, there was £5.1 million ($8.2 million) of outstanding stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees under this debenture agreement. At June 30, 2012, there was £5.9 million ($9.3 million) of outstanding stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees under this debenture agreement.
The Company’s German subsidiary has a debenture agreement used to facilitate issuances of letters of credit and bank guarantees of €4.8 million ($6.3 million) at December 29, 2012 and €4.8 million ($6.0 million) at June 30, 2012. This facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s German subsidiary and by a cash deposit of €0.8 million ($1.0 million) at December 29, 2012 and €1.1 million ($1.4 million) at June 30, 2012, which is recorded as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 29, 2012, there was €2.5 million ($3.3 million) of outstanding stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees under this debenture agreement. At June 30, 2012, there was €3.5 million ($4.4 million) of outstanding stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees under this debenture agreement.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In June 2010, the Company received notice from a customer claiming approximately $9.1 million in repair costs associated with four heat exchangers sold by Alco Products, a division of Nitram, in 2006 prior to the Company’s acquisition of Nitram (the “Alco Claim”). The customer requested reimbursement for the repair costs pursuant to Alco Products’ warranty obligations under the terms and conditions of the purchase order. The Company has not received sufficient information to assess the validity of the Alco Claim and has notified the Nitram insurance carrier and the selling stockholders of Nitram. The Company believes if any valid claim exists, the Company is entitled to be indemnified by Nitram selling stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Nitram acquisition agreement for any amounts that are paid by the Company in connection with such claim. At this time, the Company cannot estimate any potential range of loss that may result from the Alco Claim as the Company has not received sufficient information to assess its validity. No amount has been accrued in the financial statements for the Alco Claim as of December 29, 2012 or June 30, 2012. At this time, the Company has not been notified that any lawsuit has been filed by the customer.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Nitram and the related financing transactions, environmental site assessments were performed on both its existing manufacturing properties and Nitram’s properties in Cisco, Texas and Wichita Falls, Texas. These assessments involved visual inspection, testing of soil and groundwater, interviews with site personnel and a review of publicly available records. The results of these assessments indicated soil and groundwater contamination at the Vermont Street facility in Wichita Falls and groundwater concerns at the Jacksboro Highway facility in Wichita Falls and the Cisco facilities. Additional sampling and evaluation of the groundwater concerns at Jacksboro Highway and Cisco facilities indicated levels of impact did not exceed applicable regulatory standards and that further investigation and remediation was not required. Soil remediation at the Vermont Street facility in Wichita Falls was completed in July 2009 and the Company will continue to monitor groundwater at and near the site. The total costs accrued are $0.2 million at December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, and are related to the costs of monitoring and the preparation of environmental reports. The Company is seeking reimbursement for the full cost of the remediation and ongoing and future monitoring activities under the indemnification provisions of our purchase agreement with Nitram’s selling stockholders in the amount of $0.6 million. Funds were deposited into an escrow account that may be used to reimburse these costs.
Under the contract for the Nitram acquisition, the Company has certain rights to indemnification against the selling stockholders for claims relating to breach of representation and certain other claims, including litigation costs and damages. The Nitram selling stockholders previously placed $10.9 million of the purchase price in escrow to reimburse the Company for indemnification and certain other claims. The escrow amount, less any claim amounts made by the Company or amounts paid to third parties as agreed upon by the Company and sellers, was released to the sellers in five installments. Certain claims made by the Company against the escrow are subject to a deductible equal to one percent of the purchase price paid by the Company for the Nitram acquisition. Prior to the final escrow payment release in October 2009, the Company had made claims relating to environmental matters and indemnification for breach of representations and warranties of the Nitram purchase agreement, totaling approximately $2.0 million against the escrow, and a total of $1.4 million was withheld from the release of the escrow amount, which represents the Company’s claims, less the one percent deductible, estimated at $0.6 million. Following the final escrow release in October 2009, the Company has made additional claims directly against the selling stockholders under the terms of the Nitram acquisition agreement totaling approximately $9.5 million, related to the Alco Claim and the environmental matters. The sellers have objected to the claims made by the Company and the parties are currently in the process of negotiating the various claims. The Company does not currently believe it will have additional losses or claims against the former Nitram stockholders that are in excess of the amounts already claimed or accrued.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES—CONTINUED
From time to time the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues for its litigation contingencies when losses are both probable and reasonably estimable.
Other Matters
In March 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to construct a new 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility located in Denton, Texas. The contract amount is $9.8 million and construction of the facility began in August 2012.
During the six months ended December 29, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement related to a customer warranty claim. The agreement provided for the payment of cash by the Company, replacement of product within an established time frame, as needed, and a discount on future purchase orders received from the customer. The discount on future purchase orders, if any, will be recognized in future periods.
9. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
On August 15, 2008, the Company adopted a stockholder rights plan. Stockholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2008 received a dividend distribution of one right for each share of common stock outstanding on that date. The rights generally will become exercisable and allow the holder to acquire the Company’s common stock at a discounted price if a person or group (other than certain institutional investors specified in the rights plan, such as Schedule 13G filers) acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Rights held by those that exceed the 20% threshold will be void.
The rights plan also includes an exchange option. In general, after the rights become exercisable, the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, effect an exchange of part or all of the rights (other than rights that have become void) for shares of the Company’s common stock. Under this option, the Company would issue one share of common stock for each right, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The following information represents the Company’s grants of stock-based compensation to employees and directors during the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands, except share amounts):

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION—CONTINUED
The fair value of the stock granted to the Board of Directors is recognized immediately. The Company recognizes compensation expense for restricted stock awards over the four-year vesting period based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date, net of forfeitures. The fair value of stock and restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The Company recognized $0.4 million and $3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense in the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
In October 2011, a stockholder reported an increase in its beneficial ownership to approximately 69% of our common stock in a filing with the SEC. This change in beneficial ownership constituted a change in control as defined in the Company’s 2007 Incentive Stock Plan, resulting in the acceleration of vesting of approximately 146,000 unvested restricted stock awards. The acceleration of vesting resulted in a charge of $2.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011, which was recorded consistent with employees’ compensation expense.
11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments: Process Products and Environmental Systems. The Process Products segment produces various types of separators and filters used for removing liquids and solids from gases and air. The segment also includes industrial silencing equipment to control noise pollution on a wide range of industrial processes and heat transfer equipment to conserve energy in many industrial processes and in petrochemical processing. The main product of the Environmental Systems segment is its Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems, referred to as “SCR Systems.” These environmental control systems are used for air pollution abatement and converting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from exhaust gases caused by burning hydrocarbon fuels such as coal, gasoline, natural gas and oil. Along with the SCR Systems, this segment offers systems to reduce other pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter. The Company combines these systems with other components, such as instruments, controls and related valves and piping to offer its customers a totally integrated system.
The Company allocates all costs associated with the manufacture, sale and design of its products to the appropriate segment. Segment profit and loss is based on revenue less direct expenses of the segment before general and administrative costs. The Company does not allocate general and administrative expenses, assets, or expenditures for assets on a segment basis for internal management reporting, therefore, this information is not presented. Segment information and reconciliation to operating income (loss) for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are presented below (in thousands).

These factors could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from those experienced in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.
Our Business
We are a leading provider of custom-engineered systems and products designed to help ensure that the delivery of energy is safe, efficient and clean. We primarily serve the markets for natural gas infrastructure, power generation and refining and petrochemical processing. We offer a broad range of separation and filtration products, Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems (“SCR Systems”), and other complementary products including specialty heat exchangers, pulsation dampeners and silencers. Our primary customers include equipment manufacturers, engineering contractors and operators of power facilities.
Our products and systems are marketed worldwide. Revenue generated from outside the United States was approximately 53% in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared to 45% in the six months ended December 31, 2011. As a result of global demand for our products and our increased sales resources outside of the United States, we expect our international sales will continue to be a significant percentage of our consolidated revenue in the future.
We believe our success depends on our ability to understand the complex operational demands of our customers and deliver systems and products that meet or exceed the indicated design specifications. Our success further depends on our ability to provide such products in a cost-effective manner and within the time frames established with our customers. Our gross profit during any particular period may be impacted by several factors, primarily shifts in our product mix, material cost changes, and warranty costs. Shifts in the geographic composition of our sales also can have a significant impact on our reported margins.
We have two reporting segments: Process Products and Environmental Systems. The Process Products segment produces specialized systems and products that remove contaminants from gases and liquids, improving efficiency, reducing maintenance and extending the life of energy infrastructure. The segment also includes industrial silencing equipment to control noise pollution on a wide range of industrial processes and heat transfer equipment to conserve energy in many industrial processes and in petrochemical processing. The primary product of our Environmental Systems business is SCR Systems. SCR Systems are integrated systems, with instruments, controls and related valves and piping. Our SCR Systems convert nitrogen oxide into nitrogen and water, reducing air pollution and helping our customers comply with environmental regulations.

Key Drivers of Product Demand
We believe demand for our products is driven by the increasing demand for energy in both developed and emerging markets, coupled with the global trend towards increasingly restrictive environmental regulations. These trends should stimulate investment in new power generation facilities and related infrastructure, and in upgrading existing facilities.
With a shift to cleaner, more environmentally responsible power generation, power providers and industrial power consumers are building new facilities that use cleaner fuels, such as natural gas, nuclear technology, and renewable resources. In developed markets, natural gas is increasingly becoming one of the energy sources of choice. We supply product offerings throughout the entire natural gas infrastructure value chain and believe the expansion of natural gas infrastructure will drive growth of our process products and the global market for our SCR Systems for natural-gas-fired power plants.
Despite existing concerns over safety and government regulations related to the construction of new nuclear power facilities and the re-commissioning of existing facilities, we believe rising nuclear capacity utilization rates and concerns about energy security and emissions will drive the increase for nuclear power generation, both domestically and internationally. China is expected to lead the global expansion of nuclear power generation growth. Recommissioning of existing nuclear facilities in the United States and France also will contribute to product demand.
We believe these market trends will drive the demand for both our separation/filtration products and our SCR Systems, creating significant opportunities for us. We face strong competition from numerous other providers of custom-engineered systems and products. We, along with other companies that provide alternative products and solutions, are affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, global economic conditions, level of capital spending by companies engaged in energy production, processing, transportation, storage and distribution, as well as current and anticipated environmental regulations.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, total other income and expense was a net expense of $0.1 million compared to $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Interest expense decreased $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from the same period last year due to lower average debt balances outstanding. A gain on foreign exchange of $0.1 million was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, driven largely by positive movements in the euro relative to the British pound, compared to a loss of $0.2 million in the same period last year, primarily as a result from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and the euro relative to the U.S. dollar.
Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rates were 26.4% and 87.4% for the quarters ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the effective tax rate was impacted by increased profits of our foreign subsidiaries that have a lower relative effective tax rate.
Results of Operations – Segments
We have two reporting segments: Process Products and Environmental Systems.
Process Products
The Process Products segment produces specialized systems and products that remove contaminants from gases and liquids, improving efficiency, reducing maintenance and extending the life of energy infrastructure. The segment also includes industrial silencing equipment to control noise pollution on a wide range of industrial processes and heat transfer equipment to conserve energy in many industrial processes and in petrochemical processing. Process Products represented 91% and 87% of our revenue in the quarters ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Process Products operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased $0.8 million, or 14.8%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily a result of decreased revenue in the period. As a percentage of revenue, operating income remained relatively flat at 16.5% and 16.9% for the quarters ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Environmental Systems
The primary product of our Environmental Systems business is selective catalytic reduction systems, which we refer to as SCR Systems. SCR Systems are integrated systems, with instruments, controls and related valves and piping. Our SCR Systems convert nitrogen oxide, or NOx, into nitrogen and water, reducing air pollution and helping our customers comply with environmental regulations. Environmental Systems represented 9.0% and 13.0% of our revenue in the quarters ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The following summarizes Environmental Systems revenue and operating income (in thousands):

Operating expenses increased by $0.2 million in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to the expense of $2.1 million related to the accelerated vesting of approximately 146,000 shares of previously unvested restricted stock awards in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which was not replicated in the current year, offset by increased costs of maintaining foreign offices and higher bad debt expense in the current year. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased to 33.5% for the six months ended December 29, 2012, from 32.0% in the same period in fiscal 2012.
Our sales and marketing expenses increased $0.5 million in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher commissions’ expense and increased costs associated with additional sales resources located in China. Our engineering and project management expense increased $0.2 million in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared to the same period last year due largely to the addition of international engineering and project management resources. Our general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expense during the current six month period was primarily due to the expense of $2.1 million for accelerated vesting of restricted stock in the same period last year that was not replicated in the current six month period in fiscal 2013, partially offset by increased costs of maintaining foreign offices, and a write off of a customer receivable that was identified as uncollectible in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Interest expense during the six months ended December 29, 2012 decreased by $0.6 million compared to the same period last year on lower average debt balances outstanding. The six months ended December 29, 2012, reported a gain on foreign currency translation of $35,000, driven largely by positive movements in the euro relative to the British pound, compared to a loss of $0.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, primarily as a result from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and the euro relative to the U.S. dollar.
Income Taxes.Our effective income tax rates were 26.5% and 32.3% for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. For the six months ended December 29, 2012, the effective tax rate was impacted by increased profits of our foreign subsidiaries which have a lower relative effective tax rate, as well as positive adjustments to the previously filed tax returns.
Net Earnings (loss).Our net earnings increased by $1.7 million from a net loss of ($1.1) million in the six months ended December 31, 2011, to net earnings of $0.6 million in the six months ended December 29, 2012. The primary reason for the increase in net earnings was $2.1 million of stock based compensation that was recorded in the six months ended December 31, 2011 upon the accelerated vesting of previously unvested stock awards granted under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan that was not replicated in the six months ended December 29, 2012.

Process Products revenue increased by $0.3 million or 0.5%, in the six months ended December 29, 2012 when compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011. The acquisition of Burgess Manning GmbH in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 contributed approximately $2.7 million more revenue in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared to the comparable six months ended December 31, 2011 because of the additional three months of contribution. The overlap of Burgess-Manning GmbH was offset by the impact of a customer-driven project delay.
Process Products operating income in the six months ended December 29, 2012 increased by $1.2 million compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011. As a percentage of Process Products revenue, operating income was 17.6% in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared to 15.6% in the same period last year. The increase in operating income as a percentage of sales is attributed to an improvement in the gross margin between the two periods generated by lower than previously estimated costs on certain projects and relative product mix.
Environmental Systems
Our Environmental Systems segment represented 11% and 15% of our revenue for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Revenue from Environmental Systems decreased $2.7 million, or 27.0% in the six months ended December 29, 2012, when compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011. The lower revenue reflects a dampened demand for SCR Systems brought about by continued delays in the implementation of published U.S. environmental regulations.
Environmental Systems operating income in the six months ended December 29, 2012 was relatively flat compared to the six months ended, December 31, 2011. As a percentage of revenue, operating income increased to 15.6% during the six months ended December 29, 2012 from 13.8% for the same period last year primarily as a result of lower selling and engineering costs relative to revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include those related to the corporate office, as well as general and administrative costs of international locations. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million or 5.0% in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense partially offset by increased costs of maintaining foreign offices and higher bad debt expense in the current year.
Contingencies
From time to time we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Backlog includes contractual purchase orders for products that are deliverable in future periods less revenue recognized on such orders to date. Our backlog was down $23.1 million to $87.9 million at December 29, 2012, compared to $111.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in backlog was the result of lower net bookings, reflecting significant international net bookings received in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, and the removal from backlog of a customer purchase order in the amount of $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. At December 29, 2012, approximately 85% of our backlog related to Process Products sales orders with the balance pertaining to Environmental Systems sales orders. Approximately 14% of our backlog at December 29, 2012 remains on customer hold. Although the customer has communicated they expect the capital project to move forward, the timing and impact on our project scope is not yet known. Orders in backlog are subject to change, delays or cancellation by our customers.
Financial Position
Assets. Total assets increased by $1.7 million, or 0.9%, from $183.3 million at June 30, 2012, to $185.0 million at December 29, 2012. On December 29, 2012, we held cash, including restricted cash, and cash equivalents of $69.2 million, had working capital of $79.7 million and a current liquidity ratio of 2.9-to-1.0. This compares with cash, including restricted cash, and cash equivalents of $60.2 million, working capital of $77.3 million, and a current liquidity ratio of 2.7-to-1.0 at June 30, 2012.
Liabilities and Equity.Total liabilities decreased by $0.9 million, or 1.7%, from $52.4 million at June 30, 2012 to $51.5 million at December 29, 2012. The decrease in our total liabilities is primarily attributed to a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities offset by an increase in billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts.
The increase in our stockholder’s equity of $2.6 million, or 2.0%, from $130.9 million at June 30, 2012 to $133.5 million at December 29, 2012 is attributable to an increase in contribution to non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, an increase in Other Comprehensive Income, stock awards, and our net earnings for the six months ended December 29, 2012. Our ratio of debt (total liabilities)-to-equity was 0.4-to-1.0 at December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Because we are engaged in the business of manufacturing systems, our progress billing practices are event-oriented rather than date-oriented and vary from contract to contract. Generally, a contract will either allow for amounts to be billed upon shipment or on a progress-basis based on the attainment of certain milestones. We typically invoice our customers upon the occurrence of project milestones. Billings to customers affect the balance of billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts or the balance of costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, as well as the balance of accounts receivable. Consequently, we focus on the net amount of these accounts, along with accounts payable, to determine our management of working capital. At December 29, 2012, the balance of these working capital accounts was $10.4 million compared to $16.7 million at June 30, 2012, reflecting a decrease of our investment in these working capital items of $6.3 million.

Many of our customers require bank letters of credit or other forms of financial guarantees to secure progress payments and performance. Such letters of credit and guarantees are issued under various bank and financial institution arrangements (see Note 7 of Item 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). As of December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $21.1 million and $22.1 million, respectively.
Our cash and cash equivalents were $69.2 million as of December 29, 2012 compared to $60.2 million at June 30, 2012, of which $8.5 million and $7.9 million were restricted as collateral for stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees at December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. During the six months ended December 29, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $10.4 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $7.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011.
Cash used in investing activities was $3.8 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012, compared to cash used in investing activities of $5.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 29, 2012 primarily related to construction costs incurred to date on our new manufacturing facility in Denton, Texas, and payment of deferred consideration for the acquisition of Burgess Manning GmbH. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2011 primarily related to the acquisition of Burgess Manning GmbH and purchases of property and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 29, 2012 was $1.6 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 29, 2012 primarily consisted of proceeds from long-term debt as we drew on our construction term loan and the equity contribution from a non-controlling interest in our China subsidiary, offset by payment of debt issuance costs for our new credit facility. The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 consisted of payment of long-term debt.
As a result of the events described above, our cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended December 29, 2012 increased by $8.3 million compared to a decrease of $0.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011.
We are constructing new manufacturing facilities in both the United States and China. These facilities are intended to support anticipated future growth in product demand both domestically and internationally. We believe the China manufacturing facility will be primarily focused on projects within China. We intend to fund the construction of the facilities and acquisition of related equipment using both cash on hand and additional debt.
We believe we maintain adequate liquidity and the capacity to enter into letters of credit and guarantees to support existing operations and planned growth over the next 12 months.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures from those disclosed in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information related to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be disclosed in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all information required to be disclosed in this Report has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Additionally, based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Report has been accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, in a timely fashion to allow decisions regarding required disclosures.
Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people. The Company’s controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
During the six months ended December 29, 2012, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, or in other factors, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
We are involved, from time to time, in various litigation, claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business that are not expected to have any material effect on the financial condition of the Company.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.
