FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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:

• changes in the power generation industry and/or the economy;

• changes in the price, supply or demand for natural gas;

• changes in current environmental legislation;

• increased competition;

• changes in our ability to conduct business outside the United States, including changes in foreign laws and regulations;

• decreased demand for our products;

• the effects of U.S. involvement in hostilities with other countries and large-scale acts of terrorism, or the threat of hostilities or terrorist acts;

• the effects of natural disasters; and

• loss of the services of any of our senior management or other key employees.

     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, 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, 2006. 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Peerless Mfg. Co. and subsidiaries (hereafter referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2006, and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30. References herein to fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 refer to our fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

In connection with the discontinuation of our Boiler operations, the financial information has been presented to report the discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” See Note 11 — “Discontinued Operations” in our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report for additional information on the discontinuance of this business unit.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, specifically the reclassification of liquidated damages from product warranties to accrued liabilities and other.

2. New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute to the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of FIN No. 48 on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB No. 108 is effective for the first annual period ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have an impact on its results of operations or financial position or that any adjustment will be made.

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

3. Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are due from companies in various industries. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, and collateral is not generally required except on credit extended to customers outside the United States. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 to 45 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable 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 trade 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 economy generally and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when it is determined that the receivable has become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivable are credited back to bad debt expense in the period the payment is received.

Changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	2006			2005			2006		2005
Balance at beginning of period	$	518		$	466		$	462	$	352
Bad debt expense		(56	)		30			—		144
Accounts written off, net		—			(272	)		—		(272	)
Balance at end of period	$	462		$	224		$	462	$	224

4. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, including material, labor and factory overhead. The Company regularly reviews the value of inventory on hand, using specific aging categories, and records a provision for excess and potentially obsolete inventories 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.

Principal components of inventories are as follows:

	December 31,			June 30,
	2006			2006
Material and component parts	$	5,130		$	4,417
Work in progress		615			626
Finished goods		258			262
		6,003			5,305
Reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory		(528	)		(434	)
	$	5,475		$	4,871

5. Revenue Recognition and Cost and Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

The Company provides products under long-term, generally fixed-priced, contracts that may extend up to 18 months or longer in duration. In connection with these contracts, the Company follows the guidance contained in AICPA Statement of Position 81-1,Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts(“SOP 81-1”). SOP 81-1 requires the use of percentage-of-completion accounting for long-term contracts that contain enforceable rights regarding services to be provided and received by the contracting parties, consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms of settlement, assuming reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and expenses can be made. The percentage-of-completion methodology generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent profit margins over the life of a contract. If it is determined that a loss will result from the performance of a contract, the entire amount of the loss is charged against income in the period in which it is determined a loss will result. Amounts recognized in revenue are calculated using the percentage of construction cost completed, generally on a cumulative cost to total cost basis. The Company does not assume any profit component for change orders prior to the change order being approved by the customer. Cumulative revenues recognized may be more or less than cumulative costs and profits billed at any point in time 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.”

The completed contract method is applied to relatively short-term contracts where the financial statement presentation does not vary materially from the presentation under the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues under the completed contract method are recognized upon shipment and invoicing of the product.

The components of uncompleted contracts are as follows:

	December 31,			June 30,
	2006			2006
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts and estimated earnings	$	50,673		$	43,448
Less billings to date		(42,224	)		(32,158	)
	$	8,449		$	11,290

5. Revenue Recognition and Cost and Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts — Continued

The components of uncompleted contracts are reflected in the balance sheets as follows:

	December 31,			June 30,
	2006			2006
Costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	$	11,265		$	13,891
Billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts		(2,816	)		(2,601	)
	$	8,449		$	11,290

6.Assets Held for Sale

The Company has agreed to sell its headquarters facility located in Dallas, Texas to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority for $4,424. The property is approximately 12 acres and contains the Company’s administrative offices, research & development laboratory and manufacturing and storage operations. The Company expects to relocate all of the operations currently performed at this facility no later than May 1, 2007. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the book value of the facility was $767. The Company ceased depreciating these assets as of June 30, 2006.

The assets held for sale are summarized as follows:

	December 31,			June 30,
	2006			2006
Buildings & improvements	$	2,768		$	2,768
Equipment		152			152

Less accumulated depreciation		(2,794	)		(2,794	)
		139			139
Land		628			628
	$	767		$	767

7. Product Warranties

The Company warrants that its products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship and will conform to agreed upon specifications at the time of delivery and typically for a period of 12 to 18 months from the date of shipment, depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer agreement. Typical warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. The Company attempts to obtain concurrent warranties for major component parts produced by third-party suppliers.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

7. Product Warranties — Continued

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties, based on historical experience by product type, expectation of future conditions and the extent of concurrent supplier warranties in place, at the time the product revenue is recognized. Revisions to the estimated product warranties are made when necessary based on changes in these factors. Product warranty activity is as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	2006			2005			2006			2005
Balance at beginning of period	$	639		$	916		$	626		$	845
Provision for warranty expenses		55			17			124			159
Warranty charges		(36	)		(236	)		(92	)		(307	)
Balance at end of period	$	658		$	697		$	658		$	697

8. Contingencies

On April 25, 2006, the Company received notice that it allegedly received $900 of preferential transfers in connection with the Chapter 11 filing by Erie Power Technologies, Inc. Based on preliminary investigation, the Company believes that a majority of the payments received may not meet the applicable standards for avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable laws, or that a number of defenses may be asserted that would negate any recovery by the plaintiffs. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit and believes the likelihood of a material loss is not probable.

From time to time the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

10. Stock Based Compensation

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), effective July 1, 2005. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation in net earnings.

In December 1995, the Company adopted a stock option and restricted stock plan (the “1995 Plan”), which provides for a maximum of 240,000 shares of common stock to be issued. The 1995 Plan expired on November 21, 2006. Therefore, no additional awards may be granted under the 1995 Plan. In January 2002, the Company adopted another stock option and restricted stock plan (the “2001 Plan”), which provides for a maximum of 250,000 shares of common stock to be issued. Under both plans, stock options generally vest ratably over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Under both plans, stock options are or were granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Stock options granted to non-employee directors are generally exercisable on the date of grant, which is generally at the annual shareholders’ meeting.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals the vesting period. Under both plans, restricted stock awards entitle the holder to shares of common stock when the award vests. Awards generally vest ratably over four years. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of the grant and is amortized over their applicable vesting period using the straight-line method. The Company uses newly issued shares of common stock to satisfy option exercises and restricted stock awards.

Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for these plans under the intrinsic value method described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The Company, applying the intrinsic value method, did not record stock-based compensation cost in net earnings because the exercise price of its stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company elected to utilize the modified prospective transition method for adopting SFAS 123R. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption, determined under the original provisions of SFAS 123, shall be recognized in net earnings in the periods after the date of adoption.

The fair value of each award granted under the plans was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid, nor anticipates paying any, cash dividends) and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based mainly on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price and other factors.

The total options outstanding at December 31, 2006 had a weighted average remaining term of 7.21 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $802, based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 29, 2006. The options exercisable at December 31, 2006 had a weighted average remaining term of 6.32 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $462, based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 29, 2006.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options were presented as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires that cash flows from the exercise of stock options resulting from tax benefits in excess of recognized cumulative compensation cost (excess tax benefits) be classified as financing cash flows. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 such excess tax benefits were classified as financing cash flows.

12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common stock. The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated.

	Three months ended					Six months ended
	December 31,					December 31,
	2006		2005			2006		2005
Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations	$	457	$	(792	)	$	908	$	(1,481	)
Loss from discontinued operations		—		(33	)		—		(33	)
Net earnings (loss)	$	457	$	(825	)	$	908	$	(1,514	)
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		3,170		3,045			3,149		3,041
Effect of dilutive options		32		—			47		—
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		3,202		3,045			3,196		3,041
BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations	$	0.14	$	(0.26	)	$	0.29	$	(0.49	)
Loss from discontinued operations		—		(0.01	)		—		(0.01	)
Net earnings (loss) per share	$	0.14	$	(0.27	)	$	0.29	$	(0.50	)
DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

Loss from discontinued operations		—		(0.01	)		—		(0.01	)
Net earnings (loss) per share	$	0.14	$	(0.27	)	$	0.28	$	(0.50	)

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding excluded outstanding stock options to purchase 211 and 208 shares of common stock, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. No stock options were excluded in the three and six months ended December 31, 2006.

13. Segment Information

The Company identifies reportable segments based on management responsibility within the corporate structure. The Company has two reporting segments: Environmental Systems and Separation / Filtration Systems. The main product of its Environmental Systems segment is its Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems, referred to as “SCR Systems”. The Separation / Filtration Systems segment produces various types of separators and filters used for removing liquids and solids from gases and air. The Company combines these systems with other components, such as instruments, controls, valves and piping, to offer its customers a totally integrated system.

Segment profit and loss is based on revenue less direct expenses of the segment before allocation of general, administrative, research and development costs. All inter-company transfers between segments have been eliminated. Segment information and reconciliation to operating profit for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are presented below. The Company does not allocate general and administrative expenses (“reconciling items”), assets, expenditures for assets or depreciation expense on a segment basis for internal management reporting, and therefore such information is not presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

     We are a global company providing environmental, separation and filtration products for the abatement of air pollution and the removal of contaminants from gases and liquids through our two principal business segments — Environmental Systems and Separation / Filtration Systems.

     Environmental Systems.This reporting segment represented 24.9% and 29.8% of our revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. In this segment, we design, engineer, manufacture and sell environmental control systems, which are used for air pollution abatement. Our main product, Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems, referred to as “SCR Systems,” is used to convert nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions into nitrogen and water vapor. Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are generated by exhaust gases caused by burning hydrocarbon fuels, such as coal, gasoline, natural gas and oil, as well as organic bio-fuels such as wood products, grasses and grains. In this segment, we also offer systems to reduce other pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM). These systems are totally integrated, complete with instruments, controls and related valves and piping.

     Separation / Filtration Systems.This reporting segment represented 75.1% and 70.2% of our revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. In this segment, we design, engineer, manufacture and sell specialized products known as “separators” or “filters” which are used for a variety of purposes in cleaning gases and liquids as they move through piping systems. These products are used primarily to remove solid and liquid contaminants from natural gas, as well as saltwater aerosols from combustion intake air of shipboard gas turbine and diesel engines. Separators are also used in nuclear power plants to remove water from saturated steam.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Certain of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application. These include revenue recognition on long-term contracts, accrual for estimated warranty costs, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for obsolete and slow moving inventory, and valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset. Our policies and related procedures for these items are summarized below.

     Revenue Recognition. We provide products under long-term, generally fixed-priced, contracts that may extend up to 18 months or longer in duration. In connection with these contracts, we follow the guidance contained in AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (“SOP 81-1”). SOP 81-1 requires the use

Page 21

PEERLESS MFG. CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DECEMBER 31, 2006
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

of percentage-of-completion accounting for long-term contracts that contain enforceable rights regarding services to be provided and received by the contracting parties, consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms of settlement, assuming reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and expenses can be made. The percentage-of-completion methodology generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent profit margins over the life of a contract. Amounts recognized in revenue are calculated using the percentage of construction cost completed, generally on a cumulative cost to total cost basis. Cumulative revenues recognized may be less or greater than cumulative costs and profits billed at any point in time 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.”

     When using the percentage-of-completion method, we must be able to accurately estimate the total costs we expect to incur on a project in order to record the proper amount of revenues for that period. We update our estimates of costs and the status of each project with our subcontractors and our manufacturing plant personnel. If it is determined that a loss will result from the performance of a contract, the entire amount of the loss is recognized when it is determined. The impact of revisions in contract estimates are recognized on a cumulative basis in the period in which the revisions are made. In addition, significant portions of our costs are subcontracted under fixed-priced arrangements, thereby reducing the risk of significant cost overruns on any given project. However, a number of internal and external factors, including labor rates, plant utilization factors, future material prices, changes in customer specifications, and other factors can affect our cost estimates. While we attempt to reduce the risk related to revenue and cost estimates in percentage-of-completion models through corporate policy and approval and monitoring processes, any estimation process, including that used in preparing contract accounting models, involves inherent risk.

     Product Warranties. We offer warranty periods of various lengths to our customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer agreement. We typically negotiate varying terms regarding warranty coverage and length of warranty depending upon the product involved and customary practices. In general, our warranties require us to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. We attempt to obtain back-up concurrent warranties for major component parts from our suppliers. As of each balance sheet date, we record an estimate for warranty related costs for products sold based on historical experience, expectation of future conditions and the extent of back-up concurrent supplier warranties in place. While we believe that our estimated warranty reserve is adequate and the judgment applied is appropriate, due to a number of factors, our estimated liability for product warranties could differ from actual warranty costs incurred in the future.

     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based upon historical collection trends, current economic factors, and the assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. We evaluate the collectability of specific accounts receivable using a combination of factors, including the age of the outstanding balances, evaluation of customers’ current and past financial condition and credit scores, recent payment history, current economic environment, discussions with our project managers, and discussions with the customers directly, and record a provision for doubtful accounts based on historical collections and estimated future collections. As actual collections or market conditions may vary from those projected, adjustments to our allowance for doubtful accounts may be required.

     Reserve for Obsolete and Slow-Moving Inventory. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and are reduced by a reserve for excess and potentially obsolete inventories. We regularly review the value of inventory on hand, using specific aging categories, and record a provision for

Page 22

PEERLESS MFG. CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DECEMBER 31, 2006
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

obsolete and slow-moving inventory based on historical usage and estimated future usage. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected, adjustments to our inventory reserve may be required.

     Deferred Tax Asset — Valuation Allowance. We have a significant amount of net deferred tax assets, which consisted of a subsidiary state net operating loss carry-forward and temporary differences resulting from differences in the tax and book basis of certain assets and liabilities. The state net operating loss carry-forward expires, if unused, as follows: $3,300 in 2007; $2,100 in 2008; $1,900 in 2009; and, $210 in 2010. Based on evaluations performed, we determined that it is more likely than not that insufficient taxable income will be generated by the subsidiary to fully utilize the state operating loss carry-forward prior to its expirations, and accordingly we have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the corresponding deferred tax asset to its anticipated net realizable value (see Note O in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.). As actual results in future periods and projections of future results may vary from those projected, adjustments to our valuation allowance may be required.

     Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 35% and 34%, for the second quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.

     Net Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations

     Our net earnings from continuing operations increased by $1,249, from a net loss of $792, or 6.9% of revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, to net earnings of $457, or 3.2% of revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and related primarily to our increased revenues and gross profit. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share increased from a net of loss of $0.26 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, to net earnings of $0.14 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

     Discontinued Operations

          There was no operating income or loss generated by the discontinued Boiler segment during the three months ended December 31, 2006. Our net loss during the three months ended December 31, 2005 related primarily to legal expenses associated with adversary proceedings initiated by Enron Corporation and National Energy Production Corporation. An agreement to settle this litigation was consummated and the litigation was dismissed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share from discontinued operations were a net of loss of $0.01 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. No operating income or loss was generated by our discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006. See Note 11,Discontinued Operations, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information.

     Net Earnings (Loss)

     Our net earnings increased by $1,282, from a net loss of $825, or 7.2% of revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, to net earnings of $457, or 3.2% of revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Results of Operations — Segments

     We are organized along two lines of business: Environmental Systems and Separation / Filtration Systems. Revenue and operating income in this section are presented on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain corporate level expenses have been excluded from our segment operating results and are analyzed separately.

     Environmental Systems

     The primary product of the Environmental Systems segment is Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems, referred to as “SCR Systems.” These are integrated systems, with instruments, controls and related valves and piping. This reporting segment represented 18.1% and 31.5% of our revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.

     The following table summarizes Environmental Systems’ revenues and operating income during the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

	Three months ended December 31,
	2006			2005
Revenue	$	2,550		$	3,629
Operating income (loss)	$	(138	)	$	272
Operating income (loss) as % of revenue		(5.4	)%		7.5	%

     Revenues from Environmental Systems decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006, primarily due to the timing of awards of new gas power plant construction projects and increased competition.

     Environmental Systems’ operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased $410 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006. As a percentage of Environmental Systems’ revenue, the operating loss was 5.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to operating income of 7.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in operating income in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 is primarily related to the decrease in revenue. Additionally, this business segment incurred increased expense associated with the installation and commissioning of certain product installed during the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

     Our Environmental Systems business has been impacted by the timing of the awards of new gas power plant construction. We would expect that as compliance deadlines for air regulations come into effect and the demand for power increases in the short term as well as over the next three to five years, facilities will have to implement their compliance plans, resulting in increased spending for environmental reduction systems. State Implementation Plans, the Clean Air Interstate Rule, and consent decrees all create a favorable market environment for our Environmental Systems. Increasing energy demand is beginning to necessitate the construction of new power plants, which would require systems to reduce NOx emissions. Domestically, new gas-fired plants are anticipated to be constructed to meet peak power demands. In addition, new coal-fired power plants, applied to base-load operations, have been announced for construction over the next several years.

     Separation / Filtration Systems

     The Separation / Filtration Systems segment produces specialized products known as “separators” or “filters” which are used for a variety of purposes in cleaning gases and liquids as they move through piping systems. This reporting segment represented 81.9% and 68.5% of our revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.

     The following table summarizes Separation / Filtration Systems’ revenues and operating income during the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

	Three months ended December 31,

Revenue	$	11,541		$	7,905
Operating income	$	2,043		$	489
Operating income as % of revenue		17.7	%		6.2	%

     Separation / Filtration Systems’ revenues increased by $3,636, or 46.0%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Our revenues increased during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in the prior year both domestically and internationally. This increase in revenues is attributed primarily to an increase in natural gas transmission projects as a result of strong energy demand.

     Separation / Filtration Systems’ operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased $1,554 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006. As a percentage of Separation / Filtration Systems’ revenue, operating income was 17.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and 6.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The increased operating income is primarily attributable to the increased gross profit associated with the growth in revenues and mix of product sold.

     Strong energy demand is creating opportunities for our separation and filtration products. New pipelines, gas processing facilities, chemical and petrochemical processing plants, and LNG plants and terminals are driving the growth of this business segment. We believe the domestic and international markets for our separation products will continue to remain strong as nuclear power plants continue to invest in life extension and power up-rate projects, in connection with the license renewals for these facilities. The construction of new nuclear power plants internationally is also expected to provide revenue opportunities.

     Corporate Level Expenses

     The corporate level expenses excluded from our segment operating results are corporate level general and administrative expenses. See “Results of Operations — Consolidated — Operating Expenses” above for additional discussion on these expenses.

Contingencies

     On April 25, 2006, we received notice that we allegedly received $900 of preferential transfers in connection with the Chapter 11 filing by Erie Power Technologies, Inc. Based on our preliminary investigation, we believe that a majority of the payments received may not meet the applicable standards for avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable laws, or that a number of defenses may be asserted that would negate any recovery by the plaintiffs. We intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit and we believe the likelihood of a material loss is not probable.

     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.

Backlog

     The Company’s backlog of orders was $37,000 at December 31, 2006 and $40,000 at June 30, 2006. The timing of our larger contracts can have a notable impact upon our backlog from period to period.

Financial Position

     Assets.Total assets decreased by $1,839, or 3.8%, from $48,159 at June 30, 2006, to $46,320 at December 31, 2006. We held cash and cash equivalents of $6,243, had working capital of $25,242 and a current liquidity ratio of 2.4-to-1.0 at December 31, 2006. This compares with cash and cash equivalents of $6,411, $22,930 in working capital, and a current liquidity ratio of 2.0-to-1.0 at June 30, 2006.

     Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity.Total liabilities decreased by $3,977, or 17.9%, from $22,242 at June 30, 2006 to $18,265 at December 31, 2006. This decrease in liabilities related primarily to the decrease in our accounts payable of $3,918. The increase in shareholder’s equity of $2,138 or 8.2%, from $25,917 at June 30, 2006 to $28,055 at December 31, 2006 was primarily a result of our net earnings and an increase in capital from the exercise of stock options during the first six months of fiscal 2007. The ratio of total liabilities-to-equity decreased from ..86-to-1.0 at June 30, 2006 to .65-to-1.0 at December 31, 2006, reflecting a 17.9% decrease in liabilities and an 8.2% increase in shareholder’s equity during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our cash and cash equivalents were $6,243 at December 31, 2006, compared to $6,411 at June 30, 2006. Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was $1,700 compared to cash used in operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2006 of $1,150.

     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. We typically bill our customers upon the occurrence of project milestones. Billings to customers affect the balance of billings in excess of costs and earnings or the balance of cost and earnings in excess of billings, as well as the balance of accounts receivable. Consequently, we focus on the net amount of these accounts receivable along with accounts payable, to determine our management of working capital. At December 31, 2006, the balance of these working capital accounts was $13,122 compared to $13,893 at June 30, 2006, reflecting a decrease of our investment in these working capital items of $771. 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. During the first six months of fiscal 2007, several large projects were in the early stages of production and the milestones for billing had not been achieved. Additionally, several large projects were finalized and shipped, which resulted in a decrease in our investment in these working capital accounts. During the first six months of fiscal 2007, funds were primarily provided by a decrease in our accounts receivable.

     Cash used by investing activities was $2,924 for the first six months of fiscal year 2007, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $3 for the first six months of fiscal 2006. Cash used during the first six months of fiscal 2007 related primarily to an increase in restricted cash to support a debenture agreement used by our UK subsidiary to facilitate the issuances of bank guarantees.

     Cash provided by financing activities was $973 and $398 during the first six months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, and related to the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and the corresponding excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of employee stock options.

     No cash was provided by or used in our discontinued operations during the first six months of fiscal 2007, compared to cash used by our discontinued operations of $5 in the first six months of fiscal 2006.

     As a result of the above factors, our cash and cash equivalents during the first six months of fiscal year 2007 decreased by $168, compared to a decrease of $756 in the first six months of fiscal 2006.

     On September 30, 2006, we entered into a revolving credit facility for working capital requirements that expires on September 30, 2008 and has a maximum borrowing availability equal to the lesser of (i) $9,000 or (ii) 70% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of eligible inventory. The facility carries a floating interest rate based on the prime or Euro rate plus or minus an applicable margin, and is secured by substantially all of our assets in the United States. At December 31, 2006, the applicable rate was the Euro rate plus 2.0% (7.32%). At December 31, 2006, we had $2,411 outstanding under stand-by letters of credit and no borrowings outstanding, leaving a maximum availability under the credit facility of $6,589 (actual availability at December 31, 2006 of $2,824 based on our borrowing base calculation). The facility contains financial covenants, certain restrictions on capital expenditures, acquisitions, asset dispositions, dividends and additional debt, as well as other customary covenants. As of December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under this credit facility.

     In addition, our UK subsidiary had a £2,600 ($5,091) debenture agreement used to facilitate the issuances of bank guarantees. At December 31, 2006, this facility was secured by substantially all of the UK subsidiary’s assets, and was backed by a cash deposit of £1,400 ($2,741), which is recorded as restricted cash on the balance sheet. At December 31, 2006, there was £2,069 ($4,051) outstanding under this credit facility. As of December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under this credit facility.

     We believe we maintain adequate liquidity to support existing operations and planned growth.

New Accounting Standards

     In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute to the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2007. We are currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on our financial statements.

 ��   In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not yet completed our evaluation of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157.

     In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB No. 108 is effective for the first annual period ending after November 15, 2006. We do not expect that the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have an impact on our results of operations or financial position or that any adjustment will be made.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     Our primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk. We currently believe our risk to interest rate fluctuations is nominal, as our investments are short-term in nature and we are currently not borrowing under our bank credit facility. Our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations has been, and is expected to continue to be, modest as foreign contracts payable in currencies other than United States dollars are performed, for the most part, in the same currency and therefore provide a “natural hedge” against currency fluctuations. On occasion, we engage in derivative transactions with respect to foreign contracts that do not contain a “natural hedge,” but the impact of any fluctuation in the exchange rates in these hedged currencies would be expected to have an immaterial impact on our results of operations. The impact of currency exchange rate movements on inter-company transactions has been, and is expected to continue to be, immaterial. We did not have any derivatives outstanding as of December 31, 2006.

     Since June 30, 2006, there have been no material changes in the quantitative or qualitative aspects of our market risk profile. For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see Item 7A “ Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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

Page 37

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

information required to be disclosed in this Report has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 principle 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 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.

     During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, 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 controls over financial reporting.

     Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Company to include a report regarding the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2007 because the market value of the Company’s common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $75,000 at December 31, 2006. That report is to include an assessment by the Company’s management of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 along with an attestation report from the Company’s independent auditors regarding that assessment. Accordingly, the Company is undertaking a comprehensive effort to assess its system of internal control over financial reporting. Using internal resources and external consulting assistance, the Company will review its internal control over financial reporting to assess its adequacy and, as necessary, to address identified issues or inadequacies.
