Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's consolidated cash and marketable securities position increased
from $1,060,592 at December 31, 1998 to $1,265,696 at June 30, 1999. This
increase of $205,104 is attributable to net cash provided by financing
activities of $499,932, offset by cash used in operating activities of $124,442
(excluding activities relating to marketable securities), additions to property
and equipment and intangible assets of $114,927, and the acquisition of
additional shares of CECO of $55,459. The investment in marketable securities is
primarily in high yield bonds and common stock of major U.S. corporations. CECO
Filters, Inc. ("CECO") maintains a $5,000,000 line of credit with a commercial
bank of which $2,100,000 was outstanding as of June 30, 1999.

Management believes that the expected revenues from 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.

Since January 1, 1994, the Company and CECO have been parties to a management
and consulting agreement pursuant to which the Company has provided management
and financial consulting services to CECO for a monthly fee of $20,000 through
July, 1998 and $35,000 per month from August, 1998 through May, 1999 and $50,000
from June, 1999 thereafter. This agreement automatically renews at December 31
of each year for one-year terms unless cancelled by the Company.

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, 1999 and 1998 reflects the operations of the Company consolidated
with the operations of CECO. At June 30, 1999, the Company owned 93.8% of CECO.
Minority interest in the consolidated statement of operations has been presented
as a reduction in net income.

The Company received $225,000 and $120,000 during the six-month periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, 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.

The Company has no income, revenues or expenses other than as a result of its
investment in CECO, its consulting agreement with CECO, and its investment in
marketable securities. 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-Indiana") 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
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-Indiana provides facilities management, 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
plants with a variety of proprietary and patented technologies.

On March 31, 1999, CECO sold the contracts and customer list of a division for
$250,000. The sales price was paid through a non-interest bearing promissory
note from the purchaser. Monthly principal payments of $1,500 commence October
1, 1999 with a balloon payment for the balance due on April 1, 2007.


Results of Operations - CECO (Company's Subsidiary)
- ---------------------------------------------------

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues from continuing operations were approximately $8.7 million and $11.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a
decrease of 22%. The decrease in revenues from 1998 to 1999 resulted primarily
from a decrease in sales orders, particularly new orders. The sales in CECO's
Air Quality Improvement segment were approximately 11% lower ($3.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $4.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998) and revenues in CECO's Ventilation and Environmental
Product segment were approximately 27% lower ($5.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998).

CECO's backlog of orders at June 30, 1999 was approximately $6.5 million as
compared to approximately $10 million at June 30, 1998, a decrease of $3.5
million or 35%. There can be no assurance that order backlog will be replicated,
or increased, or translate into higher revenues in the future. The success of
CECO's business depends on a multitude of factors that are out of CECO's
control. CECO's operating results can be significantly impacted by the
introduction of new products, new manufacturing technologies, rapid change in
the demand for its product, decrease in the average selling price over the life
of a product as competition increases, and CECO's dependence on the efforts of
middle men to sell a significant portion of its product.

                                   (unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CECO's overall cost of revenues from continuing operations decreased as a
percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 (56%) compared to the
six months ended June 30, 1998 (61%). The decrease is attributed to lower
material costs, as well as lower costs incurred to service CECO products. CECO
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.

CECO's selling and administrative expenses from continuing operations amounted
to $3,068,818 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to
$2,854,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, representing an
increase of $214,818 or 7% predominately resulting from non-recurring costs
incurred in 1999.

CECO incurred management fees to the Company of $225,000 and $120,000 during the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Interest expense increased by $30,791, or 28%, during the six-month period ended
June 30, 1999 when compared to the same period in 1998. The increase in interest
expense can be attributed to an increased utilization of the bank line of credit
from a new credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared
to the previous year.

CECO earned income from continuing operations, after taxes, of $89,363 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $655,190 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. This change is attributed principally to the decrease in revenues
and increase in selling and administrative expenses resulting from non-recurring
costs for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period
in 1998.

The provision for federal and state income taxes for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1999 amounted to $64,600 compared to $437,000 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1998 and reflects an effective income tax rate of approximately
42% and 40% for each respective period.


Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 to Three Months Ended June 30,
1998
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales were approximately $4.0 million and $5.5 million for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This represents a decrease
of 28% compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998.

CECO's overall cost of revenues decreased as a percentage of revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 (53%) compared to the three months ended June
30, 1998 (62%). The decrease, compared to the prior year, is attributed to lower
material costs, as well as lower costs incurred to service CECO's products. CECO
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.

CECO's selling and administrative expenses amounted to $1,607,379 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1,239,413 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1998, representing an increase of $367,966 or
30% predominately resulting from non-recurring costs incurred in the three-month
period ended June 30, 1999.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest expense increased by $1,990, or 3%, during the three-month period ended
June 30, 1999 when compared to the same period in 1998. 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, 1999 compared to the previous year.

CECO incurred a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $69,036 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to pre-tax earnings of
$678,946 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998. This change is
attributed principally to the decrease in revenues and increase in selling and
administrative expenses resulting from non-recurring costs for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Federal and state income taxes for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999
amounted to a recovery of $28,600 compared to a provision of $272,000 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1998 and reflects an effective income tax rate
of approximately 41% and 40% for each respective period.
