NOTE 1: GENERAL
TurboSonic Technologies, Inc., directly and through subsidiaries, designs and markets integrated air pollution control and industrial gas cooling/conditioning systems including liquid atomization technology and dust suppression systems to ameliorate or abate industrial environmental problems.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2007. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006.
NOTE 2: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Financial Accounting Standards Board ["FASB"] SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, provides an alternative to APB Opinion No. 25. We follow APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for stock-based compensation issued to employees. For companies that continue to account for stock-based compensation arrangements under Opinion No. 25, Statement No. 123 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of their fair value based accounting for those arrangements.
We accounted for option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issues to Employees and SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been determined as if we had accounted for our employee, director and adviser stock options under the fair value method of that statement. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Our pro forma information for the prior year is as follows:

Effective the January 2006 quarter of fiscal 2006, we were required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", which replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25). We are using the modified prospective method, under which the Statement applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the unvested portion of awards as of the effective date is required to be recognized as the awards vest after the effective date.
NOTE 3: WARRANTY
In accordance with FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others", we are required to make the following disclosure regarding product warranties.
As part of the normal sale of OEM systems, we have provided our customers with product warranties. The warranties generally extend for twelve months from the date of start-up or eighteen months after shipment to the customer. The following summarizes the accrual of product warranties that is recorded as part of other accrued charges in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets:

NOTE 5: WARRANTS
In July 2005, we issued 125,000 warrants to purchase our common stock at a price of $0.584 to Capstone Investments as part of the investment banking agreement signed by the two parties. The warrants will expire in July 2008. Based upon the Black-Scholes calculation, stock-based compensation expense was recorded in the first quarter for $31,250.
In April 2006, we issued a total of 500,000 warrants to purchase our common stock at a price of $1.40 to Dynamis Energy LLP and Dynamis Energy Ltd. as part of a private placement of 1,000,00 shares. The warrants expire April 2009. As well, a total of 170,000 warrants to purchase our common stock at a price of $1.15 were issued to Capstone Investments and Bristol Capital for their role in the private placement. The warrants expire April 2008. Based upon the Black-Scholes calculation, a charge against paid-in capital was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 for $92,004.
NOTE 6: GOODWILL
We had adopted SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001, under which goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to an annual impairment review (or more frequently if deemed appropriate). We completed the goodwill impairment test as at April 1, 2006 for the Aftermarket business segment, as required by SFAS No. 142. We have concluded that there has not been an impairment of goodwill associated with the Aftermarket segment for the year ended June 30, 2006. The next impairment test will be conducted April 1, 2007.
NOTE 7: SHARE CAPITAL
We announced on July 6, 2005 that we had declared a 5-for-4 stock split of shares of our common stock. Each shareholder, as of the record date of July 15, 2005 was to receive one (1) additional share for each four (4) shares of TurboSonic Common Stock held. The payment date was July 22, 2005
During the first, second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006, 75,000, 50,000, 203,125 and 76,250 stock options, respectively, were exercised. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, 96,875 options were exercised.
At the October 31, 2005 board meeting, 100,000 stock options were awarded to the current directors from the 2003 Stock Plan and 40,000 stock options were reserved for new directors. These stock options were subsequently awarded to new directors at the November 21st and December 8th board meetings. Additionally, 178,000 stock options were awarded to current employees from the 2000 Stock Plan. These options have an exercise price of $0.75 [Black-Scholes fair value $0.42], which was the market value at the close of business on October 28, 2005, will vest immediately and are exercisable for five years from the date of grant. With this grant, there remain 372,500 options in the 2003 Stock Plan and 3,875 options in the 2000 Stock Plan available for future issuance.

TURBOSONIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES | (unaudited) | Form 10-QSB |
On April 21, 2006, we privately sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.15 per share, representing approximately 6.9% of our issued and outstanding common stock after giving effect to this sale, together with three-year options to acquire up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.40 per share, subject to adjustment, for an aggregate of $1,150,000. The purchasers were two institutional investors, each an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in rule 501, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As part of the transaction, two firms were compensated for their involvement. The placement agent was paid $69,000 and issued 60,000 two-year warrants at the sale price of $1.15 and a finder was issued 110,000 two-year warrants at the same price.
NOTE 8: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding, calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, all warrants and stock options have been excluded from the denominator for the EPS calculation, as these instruments would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 9: SEGMENT INFORMATION
During fiscal 2004, we realigned our business activities on the basis of long-term contracts and components/spare parts. Internal reporting to support decision-making regarding the allocation of resources and evaluation of activities was realigned to be consistent with the alignment of the business. As such we commenced reporting to shareholders on the two business segments into which management now classifies the business – OEM systems and Aftermarket. The comparative segment information has been reclassified to be consistent with this presentation.

NOTE 10: CONTINGENT LIABILITY
On October 6, 2005 a statement of claim was filed against your company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Canada) by Abuma Manufacturing Limited, one of our vendors, in which they claim additional charges for work performed and refute our claim for back charges on a specific project. The claim is for CAD 95,647 in respect of unpaid accounts, CAD 50,000 for aggravated, punitive and/or exemplary damages, interest on the past due accounts and costs of the action. It is our position that the claims are without merit and we have filed a statement of defense and counter-claim. Each company has filed an affidavit of documents and preparations for discovery are being made.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Forward-looking statements in this Report, including without limitation, statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, are made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as our dependence on environmental regulation and the concentration of its revenues among a small group of customers, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed therein. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider the risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006 and other reports or documents that we have filed from time to time with the SEC.
TurboSonic has focused sales and marketing and research and development activities on markets considered by us most likely to require our products, based on government regulations and related compliance timeframes. Our increasing investment in research and development has resulted in 5 patent applications, one of which has contributed to a successful bid by providing sufficient differentiation over our competitors; while these investments are expensed during the quarter in which they are made, they contribute to the long term success of the company by providing competitive solutions.
During fiscal 2006, the OEM systems business segment experienced significant bookings in the wood products industry. Also, strong bookings have been experienced in the renewable energy industry, building our reference base in that focus industry as the US government is mandating increased development of renewable energy. Projects booked in the past year from the wood products and renewable energy industries are now in fabrication, shipping and startup phases, and are expected to impact positively on our second and third quarters of fiscal 2007, and further strengthening our position in those industries.

Three Months ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Three Months ended September 30, 2005
OEM systems revenue decreased by $333,702 (13.1%) to $2,221,439 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 from $2,555,141 for the same period in fiscal 2006. The decrease is, in large part, the result of shipment schedule delays requested by customers in the period, and in particular, those of Wet Scrubber and Wet Electrostatic Precipitator ("WESP") systems. These orders are now in production with revenue recognition scheduled to be recorded in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2007.
Aftermarket revenue was relatively constant, decreasing by $21,771 (2.3%) to $916,291 for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 from $938,062 for the same period one year earlier. The decreased revenue is the result of decreased shipments of evaporative cooling, semi-dry and wet scrubber components in the current quarter.
OEM systems costs decreased by $223,806 (10.5%) to $1,907,396 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $2,131,202 for the same period in fiscal 2006. The reduced costs are due to the decreased volume of OEM systems work, due to customer-requested shipment delays as discussed above. As a percentage of OEM systems revenue, the OEM systems cost increased to 85.9% for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 from 83.4% for the same period in fiscal 2006, due to lower levels of engineering absorption in the current quarter, due to the schedule delays discussed above.
Aftermarket costs decreased by $35,889 (5.8%) to $586,502 for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 from $622,391 for the same period one year earlier. The lower costs recorded were due to decreased shipments in the current quarter, as discussed above. As a percentage of Aftermarket revenue, the Aftermarket costs increased to 64.0% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 66.4% for the same period in fiscal 2005.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $220,054 (40.4%) to $764,354 for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 from $544,300 for the same period in fiscal 2006. The variance was the result of increases in sales expenses including additional personnel and travel expense, together with increased finance and administration costs. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and 15.6% for the same period one year earlier. Research and development costs were up $75,291 to $75,656 in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $365 in the same period in fiscal 2006. This sizeable increase in research and development costs is the result of a test program currently being conducted to develop an innovative solution with a potential for sales in multiple locations. Also, there was no stock-based compensation expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to $31,250 for the same period in fiscal 2006.
The loss before tax increased $340,744 to $188,171 from the income before taxes of $152,573 for the same period in fiscal 2006. There was no recovery of income tax in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to $60 of recovery in the same period one year ago.
An "other comprehensive income" of $4,660 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to "other comprehensive income" of $72,880 for the same period in fiscal 2006. The change in "other comprehensive income" between the comparative quarters was the result of the fluctuation in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar in the two fiscal periods, and the resulting changes in our balance sheet relative to Canadian dollar-denominated accounts.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash was applied to operating activities of $588,151 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to net cash applied to operating activities of $192,611 for the same period in fiscal 2006. The net cash applied for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 is primarily the result of the operating loss and increased deferred contract costs and unbilled revenue. The net cash applied in the prior three-month period was the result of increased accounts receivable.
At September 30, 2006, we had working capital of $2,051,704, as compared to working capital as at June 30, 2006 of $2,276,455, a decrease of $224,751. Our current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 1.26 and 1.42 as at September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Our contracts typically provide for progress payments based upon the achievement of performance milestones or the passage of time. Our contracts often provide for our customers to retain a portion of the contract price until the achievement of performance guarantees has been demonstrated. We endeavor to have our progress billings exceed our costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts; however, it is possible that, at any point in time, costs and estimated earnings can exceed progress billings on uncompleted contracts, which would negatively impact cash flow and working capital. At September 30, 2006, "Unearned revenue and contract advances" exceeded "Deferred contract costs and unbilled revenue" by $2,951,099, thereby positively impacting cash flow. At June 30, 2006, "Unearned revenue and contract advances" exceeded "Deferred contract costs and unbilled revenue" by $3,216,981. The variances are the result of favorable terms of payment with our current contracts in progress.
Our backlog at September 30, 2006 was approximately $12.9 million, of which we believe approximately 100% will be shipped prior to the end of the current fiscal year.
At September 30, 2006, the cash balance was $4,846,811, which is a decrease of $659,832 compared to June 30, 2006. We have no outstanding debt. Based upon the current cash position, expected revenue for fiscal 2007 of at least $16.0 million based upon revenue after one fiscal quarter and orders in-house at September 30, 2006, anticipated new OEM orders and a steady stream of Aftermarket orders, we believe that projected cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash needs through September 30, 2007.
