accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three months ended July 31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2001.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended April 30, 2000.

2. INVESTMENTS
Investments are carried at fair market value. The Company's investment
securities are classified as available for sale and recorded on the balance
sheet at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses on these investments
shown as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of related taxes. The
impact of these unrealized gains and losses, net of related taxes, is shown as a
part of other comprehensive income on the statements of income and comprehensive
income.
3. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided for items which are reported for tax
purposes in different periods than in the Statements of Operations.
4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from manufactured products is recognized at the time of shipment to
the customer. Service revenue is recognized at the time of shipment of goods or
delivery of services to the customer. The sale price is fixed at the time of
shipment or delivery of the service and all risks transfer to the customer at
that point. Commissioned sales representatives do not stock product. Returns,
exchanges and restock charges are handled on a case-by-case basis.
5. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. During the
three months ended July 31, 2000, there were a total of 239,663 shares
outstanding under the Company's stock option plans. There was no dilutive effect
of the outstanding

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
EMCO's core business has been, and continues to be, in the manufacture of
flow measurement devices and systems segment, SIC Code No. 3823. In the past,
EMCO has reported all of its operations in this segment. Effective with the
filing of the Company's 10-QSB for the period ending October 31, 1999, EMCO
adopted SFAS 131 related to reporting for segments of the business. EMCO's
contract electronics manufacturing (CEM) division, operating under the trade
name Advanced Technology Group (ATG), comes within the definition of SIC Code
No. 3672. ATG sales (all domestic) for the three and nine month periods ending
January 31, 2000, exceeded 10% of the total Company's sales which triggered the
requirement to report information by segments.
The information reported below is similar to information used by the
management and directors of the Company to assess the performance of the
operating segments and/or to allocate resources to those segments. This
information is based upon the Company's books, contains no inter-segment
revenues and utilizes estimated allocations of expenses and assets. Segment
profits (losses) are computed at the same level as income from operations on the
Statements of Income and Operations. Segment assets for ATG are for directly

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
A. FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's net working capital increased approximately $403,000 during
the three months ended July 31, 2000. The most significant items impacting
working capital in this period are increases in accounts receivable, inventories
and deferred income tax assets. The current ratio was at 4.4 at July 31, 2000
and April 30, 2000.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $25,000 at July 31, 2000,
compared to April 30, 2000. Higher accounts receivable of approximately
$134,000, higher inventory balances of approximately $138,000 and capital and
intangibles expenditures of approximately $157,000 were the principal consumers
of cash during the period. Cash used in operations was approximately $382,000 in
the quarter. Proceeds from stock option exercises of approximately $531,000 were
a primary source of cash during the first three months of the fiscal year. The
Company intends to continue investing excess cash in investment securities until
the cash is needed for operations.
Accounts receivable increased by approximately $144,000 at July 31, 2000,
due to higher sales and slightly slower collections. The Days Sales Outstanding
(DSO) improved to 43.9 days for the three months ended July 31, 2000, compared
to 47.6 days for the year ended April 30, 2000.
Inventories increased approximately $138,000 in the first three months of
the fiscal year. The inventory turnover ratio for the three months ended July
31, stayed about the same at 1.46 compared to 1.47 for fiscal year 2000.
Inventory turns have remained steady while inventory levels have increased,
reflecting a build up prior to the introduction of the Mach-One mass flow
controller for the semiconductor market and inventories associated with turnkey
orders for the contract electronics manufacturing business, which previously had
not required the Company to buy and hold inventory. Management will continue to
review inventory levels in order to optimize shipments.
The Company had a note receivable of $138,920 at April 30, 1999, with an
unaffiliated third party to provide financing for the development of a new
flowmeter technology. The Company exercised the option to purchase the undivided
one-half interest of the developed technology for the balance of the receivable
during May 1999. This undivided one-half interest of the developed technology is
reflected on the balance sheet within "Other assets" and will be amortized over
its expected life.
The Company currently has no loans outstanding. The Company does not expect
any material capital expenditures in the next six months and anticipates all
cash needs will be satisfied from operations. The Company has renewed its
$500,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank West, N.A. through
September 2000. The Company currently has no outstanding loan balance on the
line of credit.
B. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000, COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31,
1999
Sales were approximately $235,000 higher in the period ending July 31,
2000, compared to the period ending July 31, 1999, a 10.5% increase, due to
higher domestic demand in the flowmeter market, the new Sono-Trak ultrasonic
flowmeter introduced in January 2000, and increased sales of contract electronic
printed circuit board assembly services. International sales fell 20%, or
approximately $122,000 from the same quarter last year. As a result,
international sales, which had accounted for 28% of total revenues in the
quarter ended July 31, 1999, fell to just 20% of revenues in the same quarter
this year. Aggressive pricing by European competitors and a strong Dollar
hindered international sales in the period.
Gross profit increased by approximately $117,000 to 40.1% of sales in 2000
compared to 39.1% in 1999. Labor was 1.3% higher due to a more labor intensive
product mix, material cost was down 1.6% and overhead was down .5%, again due to
product mix.
9
10
Operating expenses have increased approximately $301,000 from last year.
Selling expenses increased approximately $123,000. General and administrative
costs increased approximately $149,000, which included about $110,000 in costs
directly associated with the merger with Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.
Research and development costs increased approximately $30,000 over the same
period in the prior year.
Other income for the three months ended July 31, 2000, decreased
approximately $9,000 or 31% primarily due to a small loss from the sale of
investment securities in 2000, compared to a gain of approximately $15,000 in
1999. The Company had no interest expense attributable to debt in the periods
ending July 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
The income tax benefit for the three months ended July 31, 2000, was
approximately $93,000 compared to an income tax benefit of approximately $29,000
for the same period in 1999. The impact of deferred tax items resulted in
current tax rate of approximately 42.9% in 2000. The income tax expense rate in
the comparable period in 1999 was 122.8% due to the impact of deferred tax
items.
Other Comprehensive Income for the three month period ended July 31, 2000,
consisted of approximately $13,000 of unrealized holding gains on investment
securities, net of the related tax effects, and $112,000 of tax benefits
associated with the exercise of stock options. This compares to approximately
$1,000 of unrealized holding losses on investment securities, net of the related
tax effects, in the three months ended July 31, 1999. Tax benefits associated
with the exercise of stock options in 1999 were not material.
Net cash used by operating activities was $381,778 for the three months
ended July 31, 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $48,759 for
the three months ended July 31, 1999. Major changes in net cash from operating
activities year over year are the change from a small net profit in 1999 to a
loss and its associated tax benefit in 2000, and the increases in inventories
and accounts receivable in 2000.
MERGER AGREEMENT WITH ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES, INC.
Engineering Measurements Company signed a definitive agreement to enter
into a merger with Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., (NASDAQ: AEIS) on July 6,
2000. Under the terms of the agreement, EMCO securities holders will receive
900,000 shares of Advanced Energy stock. The agreement is subject to the
approval of 2/3 of EMCO's shareholders and certain other conditions detailed in
the proxy statement/ prospectus. A special meeting of EMCO shareholders
scheduled for October 23, 2000, will be held to vote on the merger. The
agreement does not require the approval of Advanced Energy's stockholders.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Many computer systems were designed using only two digits to designate
years. These systems may not be able to distinguish the Year 2000 from the Year
1900 (this is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Problem" or "Y2K" problem). The
Company replaced its inventory and financial software in fiscal year 1998 with a
system which is Year 2000 compliant. The Company evaluated its other
internal-use software and hardware for Year 2000 compliance, and implemented a
plan to replace all non-compliant items either through upgrade or replacement.
The cost of these replacement/upgrades was approximately $50,000.
The Company's products do not use time/date logic for internal sequencing
or calculation, and therefore the Company believes its products are Year 2000
compliant.
To date, any impacts of the Year 2000 problem have been minimal and dealt
with as they appear.
