(Dollars in thousands)
1. Basis of reporting for condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of CECO
Environmental Corp. (the "Company") and subsidiaries have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of March 31, 2002 and the results of operations and cash flows for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The results of
operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain amounts in the December 31, 2001 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the March 31, 2002 presentation.
2. New Accounting Standards.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS No. 141 requires that all
business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method only
and that certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination
be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of SFAS No.
141, on January 1, 2002, the Company's intangible asset of $1,392
related to the workforce was reclassified to goodwill under the
criteria of that standard and is no longer considered a separate
intangible asset.
In June 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 requires that ratable amortization of
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be replaced with
periodic tests for impairment and that intangible assets with finite
lives should continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. In accordance with
SFAS No. 142, the Company ceased amortization of goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2001. The
ceasing of the amortization of such assets resulted in a reduction of
$119 of amortization expense in the three month period ended March 31,
2002. Additionally, the Company has evaluated the fair value of
intangible assets with indefinite lives and determined that the fair
value was in excess of the carrying value of such assets. The Standard
also requires that goodwill be evaluated by June 30, 2002 for
impairment. The Company is in the process of this evaluation and
determining the impact.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which superseded SFAS No
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". The primary difference is that
goodwill has been removed from the scope of SFAS No. 144. It also
broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include a
component of an entity rather than a segment of a business. A
component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can
clearly be distinguished operationally and for financial accounting
purposes from the rest of the entity. Implementation of SFAS No. 144
is required for as of January 1, 2002. There was no adjustment
required upon adoption.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
First quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001
The Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 reflect the operations of the Company
consolidated with the operations of its subsidiaries. At March 31, 2002, the
Company owned approximately 94% of Filters. Minority interest has been
separately presented in the statements of operations.
Consolidated net sales for the first three months of 2002 were $18.9 million, a
decrease of $0.9 million compared to the same period in 2001. The System segment
sales decreased $0.8 million and Media segment sales decreased $0.1 million. The
decrease in System segment sales resulted primarily from lower revenue generated
from the automotive industry. This was offset by sales of $0.6 million from the
Company's newly established companies, CECO Abatement Systems and K&B Duct.
Orders booked for the first quarter of 2002 were $19.5 million, a decrease of
$9.1 million from first quarter of 2001 including a large specialty piping
division contract booked in the first quarter 2001. The piping division was
discontinued during the third quarter of 2001. The Company has experienced an
increase in sales quoting level over the fourth quarter of 2001.
Media segment sales increased $0.2 million from the prior year after adjusting
for APC sales. APC, a wholly owned subsidiary, was sold in December 2001. The
Media sales increase was the result of an overall plan to expand the replacement
filters business.
Gross profit increased $0.2 million to $3.8 million during the first quarter of
2002 compared with $3.6 million during the same period in 2001. Gross profit as
a percentage of revenues for the first quarter was 20.3% in 2002 compared with
18.0% in 2001. The increase in 2002 is attributable to an increased focus at all
levels on project cost management yielding higher margins for Kirk & Blum and
CECO Filters.
Selling and administrative expenses remained consistent with the first quarter
of 2001 after adjusting 2001 for the reversal of a contingency reserve held in
connection with a customer bankruptcy ($0.2 million), and the reversal of a
reserve held in conjunction with the operations discontinued in 1999 ($0.2
million). The Company reduced its Selling and Administrative workforce in May
2002 reflecting the consolidation of certain functions. On an annualized basis,
the impact is expected to result in a $1.0 million savings, which should begin
to be realized in the third quarter.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.1 million to $0.4 million during
the first quarter of 2002 primarily resulting from the implementation of
Statement of Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS 142 requires that ratable amortization of goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite lives be replaced by periodic tests for impairment and
that intangible assets with finite lives should continue to be amortized over
their useful lives. The implementation SFAS 142 resulted in a favorable impact
to results of operations of $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2002 as
compared with the same period in 2001.
Investment income was zero during the first quarter of 2002 compared with a loss
of $.06 million during the same period in 2001. The Company no longer holds
shares of Peerless stock which made up the majority of the investment income
earned during the first quarter of 2001.
Interest expense decreased by $0.3 million to $0.7 million during the first
quarter of 2002 principally due to lower borrowing levels and decreased rates
under the bank credit facility.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal and state income tax benefit was $0.2 million during the first quarter
of 2002 compared with a tax benefit of $0.4 million for the same period in 2001.
The effective income tax rate was 48% in 2002 compared with 53% in 2001. The
effective tax rate during 2002 was affected by non-deductible interest expense.
The effective income tax rate during 2001 was affected by non-deductible
goodwill amortization and interest expense.
Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $0.2 million compared with a
net loss of $0.3 million for the same period in 2001.
Backlog
Our backlog consists of orders we have received from products and services we
expect to ship and deliver within the next 12 months. Our backlog, as of March
31, 2002 was $18.8 million compared to $18.6 million as of December 31, 2001.
The Systems segment provided 90% of the backlog for the first quarter of 2002.
There can be no assurances that backlog will be replicated or increased or
translated into higher revenues in the future. The success of our business
depends on a multitude of factors that are out of our control. Our operating
results can be affected by the introduction of new products, new manufacturing
technologies, rapid change of the demand for its products, decrease in average
selling prices over the life of the product as competition increases and our
dependence on efforts of intermediaries to sell a portion of our product.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2002 cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.02 million compared with
$0.2 million for the same period in 2001. Cash provided by operating activities
for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $2.5 million compared with cash used of
$0.4 million for the same period in 2001.
Total bank and related debt as of March 31, 2002 was $15.4 million as compared
to $17.7 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $2.3 million, due to net
repayments under bank credit facilities. Unused credit availability at March 31,
2002, was $4.5 million under the Company's bank line of credit.
The senior secured credit facility was amended in May 2002 by reducing the
minimum coverage requirements under several financial covenants as of March 31,
2002 and June 30, 2002 and eliminating the LIBOR based borrowing option for the
revolving line of credit and term B tranches to the facility.
Investing activities used cash of $0.05 million during the first quarter of 2002
compared with cash used of $0.1 million for the same period in 2001. Capital
expenditures for property and equipment, and leasehold improvements were $0.05
million during the quarter and were primarily for manufacturing and engineering
equipment. Capital expenditures for property and equipment are anticipated to be
in the range of $0.5 million to $0.9 million for 2002 and will be funded by cash
from operations and/or line of credit borrowing.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financing activities used cash of $2.5 million during the first three months of
2002 compared with cash provided of $0.1 million during the same period of 2001.
Current year financing activities included net payments under bank credit
facilities.
The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities,
cash flow from operations, and its credit facilities are adequate to meet the
Company's cash requirements over the next twelve months.
