              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1.      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
        consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
        present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1998, the results
        of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
        1998 and 1997 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30,
        1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the six-month period ended
        June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
        expected for the full year.


2.      Acquisition of Businesses

        During March 1998, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company
        acquired substantially all of the assets, and the business, of
        Integrated Facilities Management, Inc. ("IFM") for $150,000 in cash.
        IFM, located in Mesa, Arizona, provides a full range of services for
        inter-facility general repair, preventive maintenance and inter-facility
        construction needs exclusively for owners and users of industrial,
        commercial, educational, healthcare and manufacturing facilities. The
        acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The Asset Purchase
        Agreement provides that, notwithstanding the actual closing date, the
        closing was deemed to be effective as of January 1, 1998. The condensed
        consolidated statement of operations for the six-month period ended June
        30, 1998, therefore, includes the operations of IFM since January 1,
        1998.

        On September 25, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the
        assets, and the business, of Busch Co. During April 1998, the Company
        completed a valuation of certain patents acquired as part of this
        acquisition, utilizing the services of an independent consultant. The
        valuation resulted in the reclassification of $1,047,000 from goodwill
        to other intangible assets.

        On a pro forma basis, results of operations for the six-month periods
        ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, would have been as follows, if the
        acquisitions had been made as of January 1, 1997.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company

The Company's consolidated cash and marketable securities position decreased
from $1,481,977 at December 31, 1997 to $895,549 at June 30, 1998. This decrease
of $586,428 is attributable to the use of cash in operating activities of
$61,649 (excluding purchases and sales of marketable securities), use of cash in
investing activities of $337,114, and use of cash in financing activities of
$187,665. The investments in marketable securities are primarily in high yield
bonds of major U.S. corporations, as well as U.S. Treasury Bills. CECO Filters,
Inc. ("CECO") maintains a $2,000,000 line of credit with a commercial bank, of
which $800,000 was outstanding as of June 30, 1998.

Management believes that the expected revenues from the operations of CECO,
supplemented by the available line of credit, will be sufficient to provide
adequate cash to fund anticipated working capital and other cash needs during
the remainder of the year.

The Company and CECO entered into a five-year management and consulting
agreement during 1994 pursuant to which the Company provides management and
financial consulting services to CECO for a monthly fee of $20,000 until the
agreement expires in December 1998. The Company believes its consulting
agreement with CECO and interest income from its investments in marketable
securities, should provide sufficient revenue to meet its general and
administrative expenses.


Results of Operations - The Company

The Company's consolidated statement of operations for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 reflects the operations of the Company consolidated
with the operations of CECO. At June 30, 1998, the Company owned approximately
93% of CECO. Minority interest in the consolidated statement of operations has
been presented as a reduction in net income.

The Company received $60,000 during each quarter for management and financial
consulting services provided to CECO. This amount is not reflected in the
consolidated results of operations since it is eliminated in consolidation.

Except as set forth above, the Company has no other income, revenues or expenses
other than as a result of its investment in CECO and its investment in
marketable securities, and except for its investment activities, the Company
does not engage in operations other than through its operating subsidiary, CECO.

CECO is comprised of CECO Filters, Inc., Air Purator Corporation ("APC"), U.S.
Facilities Management Company, Inc. ("USFM") and New Busch Co., Inc.
(collectively referred to as "the CECO Group"), which provide innovative
solutions to air quality problems through particle and chemical control
technologies and management services.

CECO manufactures and markets filters known as fiber bed mist eliminators,
designed to trap, collect and remove solid soluble and liquid particulate matter
suspended in an air or other gas stream whether generated from a point source
emission or otherwise. CECO offers innovative patented technologies, Catenary
Grid (R) and Narrow Gap Venturi(TM), designed for use with heat and mass
transfer operations and particulate control. APC designs and manufactures high
performance filter media and bags for use in high temperature pulse-jet
baghouses, the most effective type of baghouse for capturing submicron
particulate from gas streams. USFM provides facilities management and software,
as well as outsourced plant-wide maintenance management to help customers
achieve their performance goals. Busch is engaged in designing, manufacturing
and supplying equipment used to control the environment in and around industrial

On March 16, 1998, CECO acquired substantially all of the assets of Integrated
Facilities Management ("IFM") of Mesa, Arizona in an all cash transaction,
effective January 1, 1998. IFM provides facility audits, preventative
maintenance, labor force augmentation, as-built warranty reconciliation,
pre-scheduled facility maintenance inspection, inter-facility construction
services and other trade services. IFM has been integrated into USFM. USFM will
continue to provide its unique environmental maintenance services. USFM also
includes a technology arm through its strategic alliance with Western VAR
Alliance. USFM can now offer complete facilities management and computerized
facility and maintenance management and co-sourced resources through a single

Results of Operations - CECO (Company's Subsidiary)

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 to Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

Revenues were approximately $13.1 million and $5.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, an increase of 139%. The increase in
revenues from 1997 to 1998 resulted from the acquisition of Busch Co. in
September, 1997 and IFM in March, 1998, increasing revenues by $7.0 million and
$1.7 million, respectively.

The CECO Group's backlog of orders and services at June 30, 1998 was
approximately $10.0 million as compared to approximately $1.5 million at June
30, 1997, an increase of $8.5 million or 567%. The increase is principally
attributable to the impact of the Busch Co. and IFM acquisitions. There can be
no assurance that order and service backlog will be replicated, or increased, or
translate into higher revenues in the future. The success of the CECO Group's
business depends on a multitude of factors that are out of the CECO Group's
control. The CECO Group's operating results can be significantly impacted by the
introduction of new products and services, new manufacturing technologies, rapid
change in the demand for its product and services, decrease in the average
selling price over the life of a product as competition increases, and the CECO
Group's dependence on the efforts of middle men to sell a significant portion of
its products and services.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 to Six Months Ended
June 30, 1997 - Continued

The CECO Group's overall cost of revenues increased as a percentage of revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 (66%) compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1997 (51%). The increase is attributed to the impact of Busch Co. where
costs as a percentage of revenues amounted to 70%, and IFM, now called USFM
(Service), where costs as a percentage of revenues amounted to 95% both from
January 1, 1998 through March 31, 1998. Without the impact of Busch Co. and USFM
(Service), the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues would have been
48.5%. The decrease, compared to the prior year and without the impact of Busch
Co. and USFM (Service), is attributed to lower material costs, as well as lower
costs incurred to service the CECO Group's products. The CECO Group continues to
use the latest technology available in an effort to reduce both cost of revenues
(and the maintenance of optimal inventory levels) and operating expenses, and
ultimately increase overall company profits.

The CECO Group's selling and administrative expenses amounted to $3,318,940 for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1,897,766 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1997, representing an increase of $1,421,174 or
75%. This increase is the direct result of selling and administrative expenses
of Busch Co. and IFM.

During 1994, the CECO Group entered into a management and consulting agreement
with the Company. The terms of the agreement require payment of monthly fees of
$20,000 through December, 1998 in exchange for management and financial
consulting services involving corporate policies; marketing; strategic and
financial planning; and mergers, acquisitions and related matters. The CECO
Group incurred management fees to the Company of $120,000 during each of the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Interest expense increased by $88,412, or 179% during the six-month period ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. The increase in interest
expense can be attributed to an increased utilization of the bank line of credit
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the previous year, as well
as additional borrowings in the second half of 1997 incurred to fund the
acquisition of Busch Co.

The CECO Group earned pre-tax income of $688,829 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $404,056 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997.
This change is attributed principally to the increase in revenues for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1998 over the comparable period in 1997.

The provision for federal and state income taxes for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1998 amounted to $276,000 compared to $161,000 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1997 and reflects an effective income tax rate of approximately
40% for each period.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 to Three Months
Ended June 30, 1997

Sales were approximately $6.4 million and $2.9 million for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This represents an increase
of 119.5% compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.

CECO's overall cost of revenues increased as a percentage of revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 (67.4%) compared to the three months ended June
30, 1997 (50.6%). The increase is attributed to the impact of Busch Co. where
cost as a percentage of revenues amounted to 72%, and IFM, now called USFM
(Service), where cost as a percentage of revenues amounted to 98%, both from
April 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998. Without the impact of Busch Co. and USFM
(Service), the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues would have been
48.4%. The decrease, compared to the prior year and without the impact of Busch
Co. and USFM (Service), is attributed to lower material costs, as well as lower
costs incurred to service the CECO Group's products. The CECO Group continues to
use the latest technology available in an effort to reduce both cost of revenue
(and the maintenance of optimal inventory levels) and operating expenses, and
ultimately increase overall company profits.

The CECO Group's selling and administrative expenses amounted to $1,536,733 for
the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1,019,619 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1997, representing an increase of $517,114 or
50.7%. This increase is the direct result of selling and administrative expenses
of Busch Co. and IFM.

Interest expense increased by $55,199, or 266% during the three-month period
ended June 30, 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997. The increase in
interest expense can be attributed to an increased utilization of the bank line
of credit during the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the previous
year, as well as additional borrowings incurred in the second half of 1997 to
fund the acquisition of Busch Co.

The CECO Group earned pre-tax income of $365,761 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $244,941 for the three-month ended June 30,
1997. This change is attributed principally to the increase in revenues for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1998 over the comparable period in 1997.

The provision for federal and state income taxes for the three-month period
ended June 30, 1998 amounted to $147,000 compared to $97,400 for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1997 and reflects an effective income tax rate of
approximately 40% for each period.
