                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




To the Stockholders
Busch Co.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Busch Co. as of December 31,
1996 and the related statements of operations and retained earnings and cash
flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Busch Co. as of December 31,
1996 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company is involved in
negotiations to sell certain assets and interests of the Company which
represent primarily all of the Company's operations.

         Revenue recognition - Revenue from contracts is recognized on the
percentage of completion method as more fully described below. Revenue from
sales of product related to the Company's service representative and
distributor relationships is generally recognized upon shipment to customers.

         Management estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

         Cash - The Company maintains cash deposits in various banks which at
times exceed federally insured amounts.

         Inventory - Cost is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first- out (FIFO) method.

         Property and equipment - Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance
which do not extend the lives of the applicable assets are charged to expense
as incurred. Profit or loss resulting from the retirement or other disposition
of assets is included in income.

         Patent - Included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet
is approximately $85,000 related to patent costs. Amortization is provided on
the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives and accumulated
amortization approximated $8,000 at December 31, 1996.

         Contracts - Revenues from the design and manufacture of air handling
units are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the
percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract
costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers
contract costs to be the best available measure of progress on these
contracts.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996




NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

         Contract costs include direct material, labor cost and those indirect
costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies,
tools, repairs and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are
charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes
in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in
revisions to contract revenue and costs and are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are made.

         The asset, "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
billed, the liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

         Income taxes - The corporation has elected to be taxed as an S
corporation. Accordingly, the taxable income or loss of the corporation is
included in the personal tax returns of the stockholders. Therefore, no
provision for federal or state income taxes is included in the accompanying
financial statements.


NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         In 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent which provides
for the transfer of certain assets, and all rights and interests of the
Company. As of the date of this report, no agreements have been consummated.


NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and note payable approximate their fair value.

         The Company has a defined contribution profit sharing plan covering

NOTE 11 - BACKLOG

         The following schedule shows a reconciliation of backlog representing

agreements on which work has not yet begun:

              Balance, December 31, 1995                       $  4,763,531
              Contract adjustments                                   45,123
              New contracts, 1996                                10,930,030
                                                               ------------
                                                                 15,738,684
              Less contract revenue recognized, 1996              9,347,755
                                                               ------------
              Balance, December 31, 1996                       $  6,390,929
                                                               ============

         As of December 31, 1996, certain contracts have been omitted from the
backlog reconciliation due to management's uncertainty as to the continuation
of these contracts. The total contract price, contract revenue recognized
during 1996 and backlog associated with these contracts, amounted to
approximately $2,547,000, $104,000 and $2,443,000, respectively.

         In addition, between January 1, 1997 and June 30, 1997, the Company
entered into additional contracts with a value of approximately $6,880,000.

To the Stockholders
Busch Co.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania




         We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Busch Co. as of
June 30, 1997 and the related statements of operations and retained earnings,
and cash flows for the six months then ended, in accordance with Statements on
Standards for Acounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial
statements is the representation of the management of Busch Co.

         A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in
scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

         Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company
entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell certain assets and interests
of the Company which represent primarily all of the Company's operations.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1997




NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

         Busch Co. (the Company) designs and manufactures air handling units
for the metals industry. Also, they are manufacturer's representatives for
vendors that supply components related to this industry. The customer base
includes steel and aluminum producers worldwide and the Company extends credit
to these customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers' financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its
customers.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied by
management in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements
follows.

         Revenue recognition - Revenue from contracts is recognized on the
percentage of completion method as more fully described below. Revenue from
sales of product related to the Company's service representative and
distributor relationships is generally recognized upon shipment to customers.

         Management estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

         Cash - The Company maintains cash deposits in various banks which at
times exceed federally insured amounts.

         Inventory - Cost is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

         Property and equipment - Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance
which do not extend the lives of the applicable assets are charged to expense
as incurred. Profit or loss resulting from the retirement or other disposition
of assets is included in income.

         Patent - Included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet
is approximately $85,000 related to patent costs. Amortization is provided on
the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives and accumulated
amortization approximated $9,000 at June 30, 1997.

         Contracts - Revenues from the design and manufacture of air handling
units are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the
percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract
costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers
contract costs to be the best available measure of progress on these
contracts.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1997





NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

         Contract costs include direct material, labor cost and those indirect
costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies,
tools, repairs and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are
charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes
in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in
revisions to contract revenue and costs and are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are made.

         The asset, "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
billed. The liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

         Income taxes - The corporation has elected to be taxed as an S
corporation. Accordingly, the taxable income or loss of the corporation is
included in the personal tax returns of the stockholders. Therefore, no
provision for federal or state income taxes is included in the accompanying
financial statements.


NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On September 25, 1997, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement with CECO Filters, Inc. (CECO) for the sale of certain assets, and
all rights and interests of the Company. The sale was effective July 1, 1997,
and includes certain construction contracts, certain real property leases, all
inventories, goodwill, all rights pursuant to warranties, representations and
guaranties and all rights, titles and interests in trademarks, service marks,
trade names and trade styles. Also, as of July 1,1997, operations will be
conducted by CECO.

         The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments
that result from the discontinuance of the Company.


NOTE 4 - CONTRACT RECEIVABLES

         Contract receivables consist of the following:

              Contract receivables billed:

            CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

  Explanatory Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                     For the Year Ended December 31, 1996



1.      The pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet is based on the
        consolidated balance sheet of CECO Environmental Corp. ("CEC") to
        reflect the acquisition of Busch Co. ("Busch") by CECO Filters, Inc.
        ("CECO"), a majority-owned subsidiary of CEC, which took place on
        September 25, 1997 ("closing date") (effective date of July 1, 1997),
        as if it had taken place on December 31, 1996, after giving effect to
        the pro forma adjustments to reflect the following:

        CECO paid $2,100,000 for essentially all of the assets and business of
        Busch on the closing date. As part of the transaction, CECO obtained a
        non-compete agreement from one of the stockholders of Busch pursuant
        to which he will be paid a total of $900,000, of which $100,000 (A)
        was paid on the closing date, and $200,000 is to be paid on July 1,
        1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. In addition, a sign-on bonus of $500,000
        was paid to this stockholder ($300,000 net of income taxes) (B) on the
        closing date.

        The total cash required at closing amounted to $2,540,576 and is net
        of certain of Busch's accrued expenses which CECO agreed to assume.
        CECO financed this transaction with a bank term loan in the amount of
        $1,000,000 (C); a $500,000 (D) subordinated, unsecured loan from CEC,
        and $1,040,576 (E) from its $1,500,000 bank line of credit. The bank
        term loan requires 48 monthly principal payments of $20,833, plus
        interest at 8.75% per annum, commencing October 1, 1997. Under the
        terms of a subordination agreement between CEC and CECO's lender,
        principal repayment under the unsecured loan from CEC cannot commence
        until after September 30, 1999. Interest on the CEC loan is at 10% per
        annum. Interest on the bank line of credit is at 1/2% over the bank's
        prime lending rate (current effective rate is 9%). CECO incurred
        financing fees of $ 12,500 (F) related to the bank financing.

        The net assets acquired are summarized as follows (G):

                                                                 ==========
                                                              
        CECO incurred approximately $100,000 (H) in costs associated with the
        transaction, which was funded internally.

            CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

  Explanatory Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                    For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997




1.      The pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet is based on the
        consolidated balance sheet of CECO Environmental Corp. ("CEC") to
        reflect the acquisition of Busch Co. ("Busch") by CECO Filters, Inc.
        ("CECO"), a majority-owned subsidiary of CEC, which took place on
        September 25, 1997 ("closing date") (effective date of July 1, 1997),
        as if it had taken place on June 30, 1997, after giving effect to the
        pro forma adjustments to reflect the following:

        CECO paid $2,100,000 for essentially all of the assets and business of
        Busch on the closing date. As part of the transaction, CECO obtained a
        non-compete agreement from one of the stockholders of Busch pursuant
        to which he will be paid a total of $900,000, of which $100,000 (A)
        was paid on the closing date, and $200,000 is to be paid on July 1,
        1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. In addition, a sign-on bonus of $500,000
        was paid to this stockholder ($300,000 net of income taxes) (B) on the
        closing date.

        The total cash required at closing amounted to $2,540,576 and is net
        of certain of Busch's accrued expenses which CECO agreed to assume.
        CECO financed this transaction with a bank term loan in the amount of
        $1,000,000 (C); a $500,000 (D) subordinated, unsecured loan from CEC,
        and $1,040,576 (E) from its $1,500,000 bank line of credit. The bank
        term loan requires 48 monthly principal payments of $20,833, plus
        interest at 8.75% per annum, commencing October 1, 1997. Under the
        terms of a subordination agreement between CEC and CECO's lender,
        principal repayment under the unsecured loan from CEC cannot commence
        until after September 30, 1999. Interest on the CEC loan is at 10% per
        annum. Interest on the bank line of credit is at 1/2% over the bank's
        prime lending rate (current effective rate is 9%). CECO incurred
        financing fees of $ 12,500 (F) related to the bank financing.

        The net assets acquired are summarized as follows (G):

               Accounts receivable related to jobs in process     $2,165,562
               Inventory                                             145,379
               Equipment                                             131,818
               Patents                                                76,672
               Goodwill                                            1,601,637
               Billings in excess of costs and estimated
                 earnings on uncompleted contracts               ( 2,165,562)
               Accrued expenses                                  (    14,930)
                                                                  ----------

                       Total                                      $1,940,576
                                                                  ==========

        CECO incurred approximately $100,000 (H) in costs associated with the
        transaction, which was funded internally.

                  Condensed Financial Statements - Continued
                    For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997



2.      The pro forma consolidated condensed statement of operations is based
        on the individual statements of CEC and Busch for the six months ended
        June 30, 1997, after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments
        necessary to reflect the acquisition described in Note 1, as if it had

               from use of $500,000 of cash for Busch Co. acquisition.

        (K)    Amortization of goodwill over 40 years amounting to $20,020.

        (L)    Increase in salary of former officer of Busch as part of new
