  Board of Directors
  Peerless Mfg. Co.


  We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of
  Peerless Mfg. Co. and Subsidiaries as  of June 30, 1999 and 1998,  and
  the  related   consolidated  statements   of  earnings,   changes   in
  stockholders' equity, and cash  flows for each of  the three years  in
  the period ended June  30, 1999.  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 audits 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 our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion,  the financial statements  referred to above,  present
  fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial  position
  of Peerless Mfg. Co.  and Subsidiaries as of  June 30, 1999 and  1998,
  and  the   consolidated  results   of  their   operations  and   their
  consolidated cash flows  for each  of the  three years  in the  period
  ended June 30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
  principles.

                 Peerless Mfg. Co. and Subsidiaries
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997



  NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
           POLICIES

   Nature of Operations
   --------------------
   Peerless  Mfg. Co. designs,  engineers, and manufactures  specialized
   products for the  removal of contaminants from gases and liquids  and
   for   air  pollution   abatement.     The  Company's   products   are
   manufactured principally at  plants located in Dallas, Texas and  are
   sold  worldwide with  the  principal markets  located in  the  United
   States  and Europe.  Primary  customers are equipment  manufacturers,
   engineering contractors and operators of power plants.

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

   Consolidation
   -------------
   The   Company  consolidates   the   accounts  of   its   wholly-owned
   subsidiaries,   all   of   which  are   foreign.    All   significant
   intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in
   consolidation.

   Cash Equivalents
   ----------------
   For purposes  of the statement of  cash flows, the Company  considers
   all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity  of
   three months or less to be cash equivalents.

   Inventories
   -----------
   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out)  or
   market.

   Depreciable Assets
   ------------------
   Depreciation  is provided  for in  amounts sufficient  to relate  the
   cost  of  depreciable  assets  to  operations  over  their  estimated
   service lives, principally by the straight-line method.

   Revenue Recognition
   -------------------
   The Company generally recognizes sales of custom-contracted  products
   at the completion  of the manufacturing process.  The  percentage-of-
   completion  method  is  used  for  significant  long-term  contracts.
   Percentage-of-completion   is   generally   determined   based   upon
   engineering  work performed,  materials purchased  and  manufacturing
   labor hours incurred.

<PAGE>

  NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
            POLICIES - Continued

   Stock-Based Compensation
   ------------------------
   Statement  of  Financial Accounting  Standards  No. 123  (SFAS  123),
   Accounting  for Stock-Based  Compensation, encourages,  but does  not
   require,  companies  to  record  compensation  cost  for  stock-based
   employee compensation  plans at fair value.   The Company has  chosen
   to  account for stock-based  compensation using  the intrinsic  value
   method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25  (APB
   25),   Accounting  for  Stock  Issued   to  Employees,  and   related
   interpretations.

   Earnings Per Common Share
   -------------------------
   Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net  earnings
   by  the weighted average number  of common shares outstanding  during
   each year presented.   Diluted earnings per common share give  effect
   to  the assumed  issuance  of shares  pursuant to  outstanding  stock
   option plans, when dilutive.

   Foreign Currency
   ----------------
   All balance sheet accounts of foreign operations are translated  into
   U.S.  dollars at  the year-end  rate of  exchange and  statements  of
   earnings items are translated at the weighted average exchange  rates
   for  the  year.   The  resulting  translation  adjustments  are  made
   directly to a separate component of stockholders' equity.  Gains  and
   losses  from foreign currency transactions,  such as those  resulting
   from the settlement of foreign receivables or payables, are  included
   in the consolidated statements of earnings.

   From  time  to  time,  the  Company  enters  into  forward   exchange
   contracts  in anticipation  of future  movements in  certain  foreign
   exchange  rates and to hedge  against foreign currency  fluctuations.
   Realized  and unrealized  gains  and losses  on these  contracts  are
   included in net income, except that gains and losses on contracts  to
   hedge  specific   foreign  currency  commitments  are  deferred   and
   accounted for as part of the underlying transaction.

   Financial Instruments
   ---------------------
   The  carrying amounts  of cash  and cash  equivalents and  short-term
   investments approximate  fair value because of the short-term  nature
   of these items.

   Use of 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.

  NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
            POLICIES - Continued

   Reclassification
   ----------------
   Certain  reclassifications of prior  year amounts have  been made  to
   conform to the current year presentation.


  NOTE B - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

   A significant portion  of the Company's sales are to customers  whose
   activities are  related to the oil  and gas industry, including  some
   who are located in foreign countries.  The Company generally  extends
   credit to these  customers.  Its exposure to credit risk is  affected
   by conditions  within the oil and gas  industry.  Also, with  respect
   to foreign sales, collection may be more difficult in the event of  a
   default.

   However,  the Company closely monitors  extensions of credit and  has
   never  experienced  significant  credit losses.    Substantially  all
   foreign  sales are made  to large, well-established  companies.   The
   Company generally requires collateral or guarantees on foreign  sales
   to smaller companies.

   No  single customer accounted for  more than 10%  of revenues in  the
   years ended June  30, 1999 or 1998.  Sales to one customer  accounted
   for  approximately 12.3%  of  revenues for  the year  ended  June 30,
   1997.

  NOTE E - CREDIT ARRANGEMENT

    The Company has banking agreements for unsecured revolving lines  of
    credit in the combined  amount of $7,000,000  due upon demand,  with
    interest at the banks' prime lending rate (7.75% at June 30,  1999),
    payable monthly.  The banks charge  usage fees at an annual rate  of
    .25% of the average  daily unused portion of  the line.  No  amounts
    were borrowed  under  these  arrangements at  June  30,  1999.    At
    June 30, 1998, $200,000 was outstanding  under the lines of  credit.
    The  Company  had  letters  of  credit  outstanding  under  separate
    arrangements of $3,246,567 and $3,027,911 at June 30, 1999 and 1998,
    respectively.  Other  assets with a  cost of approximately  $635,000
    and $526,000 were pledged against the letters of credit  outstanding
    at June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.


  NOTE F - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The Company has a 1985 restricted  stock plan (the 1985 Plan)  under
    which 75,000  shares of  common stock  were reserved  for awards  to
    employees.   Restricted  stock  grants  made  under  the  1985  Plan
    generally vest  ratably  over  a three-year  period.    The  Company
    awarded 8,000 shares  (fair value at  date of grant  of $80,250)  in
    fiscal 1997,  of  which 5,000  and  3,000 shares  were  subsequently
    forfeited, in fiscal 1999 and 1997, respectively, and awarded  3,000
    shares (fair value  at date  of grant  of $31,875)  in fiscal  1998.
    Compensation expense for  stock grants is  charged to earnings  over
    the restriction period and amounted to $17,416, $25,115, and $26,625
    in fiscal 1999,  1998, and 1997,  respectively.  The  tax effect  of
    differences between compensation expense for financial statement and
    income tax purposes  is charged  or credited  to additional  paid-in
    capital.

<PAGE>

  NOTE F - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - Continued

    In December 1995, the Company adopted a stock option and  restricted
    stock plan (the 1995 Plan), which provides for a maximum of  100,000
    shares of common stock to be  issued.  Stock options are granted  at
    market value, generally vest ratably over four years, and expire ten
    years from date of grant.

    At June 30, 1999, 36,250 shares  of common stock were available  for
    issuance under the 1995 Plan, and 1,750 shares were available  under
    the 1985 Plan.

    The Company has adopted the disclosure  provisions of SFAS 123.   It
    applies APB 25 and related  interpretations in accounting for  stock
    options issued  and,  therefore,  does  not  recognize  compensation
    expense for stock options granted at  or greater than market  value.
    If the Company had elected  to recognize compensation expense  based
    upon the fair  value at the  grant date for  awards under this  plan
    consistent with the methodology prescribed  by SFAS 123, the  effect
    on net earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows:

                                             Year ended June 30,
                                         1999        1998      1997
                                      ---------   ---------   -------
     Net earnings - as reported      $1,849,570  $2,449,561  $537,416
     Net earnings - pro forma         1,813,141   2,440,327   527,012

     Basic earnings per share
     As reported                           1.27        1.68       .37
     Pro forma                             1.25        1.68       .36

     Diluted earnings per share
     As reported                           1.27        1.68       .37
     Pro forma                             1.24        1.67       .36

    The fair value of these options  was estimated at the date of  grant
    using the  Black-Scholes option  pricing  model with  the  following
    weighted-average assumptions:  expected volatility of 43% for fiscal
    1999, 41%  for  fiscal  1998 and  45%  for  fiscal  1997;  risk-free
    interest rates ranging from  4.6% to 5.6%;  dividend yield of  3.7%,
    5.6%, and  3.8% in  fiscal 1999,  1998 and  1997, respectively;  and
    expected lives of five to seven years.

   common  share purchase  right for  each outstanding  share of  common
   stock to shareholders  of record at the close of business on June  2,

   adjustment, as more  fully set forth in a Rights Agreement dated  May
   22, 1997.

   acquire,  beneficial ownership  of  20% or  more of  the  outstanding
   common  shares  or   commences  a  tender  or  exchange  offer,   the

   The  Company had  provided a  valuation allowance  at June  30,  1997
   related  to  deferred tax  assets  of foreign  subsidiaries.    These
   assets  are recoverable  only from  future income  of the  respective
   foreign   subsidiaries.    Because  of   a  recapitalization  and   a
   reorganization of European operations, the Company concluded at  June
   30,  1997 that  it  was more  likely than  not  that certain  of  the
   deferred  tax assets are  recoverable.  The  valuation allowance  was
   reduced in 1997  and eliminated in 1998.  Utilization of foreign  net
   operating carryforwards  reduced income tax expense by  approximately
   $12,000 and $130,000 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    The effective income tax rate varies from the statutory rate due  to
    the following:

                                                   As a percentage

  NOTE J - INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

   The  Company  identifies  reportable  segments  based  on  management
   responsibility within the  corporate structure.  The Company has  two
   reportable  industry segments:   gas/liquid filtration and  catalytic
   reduction  systems.    The  gas/liquid  filtration  segment  produces
   various  types of separators  and filters used  for removing  liquids
   and  solids  from   gases  and  air.    The  segment  also   provides
   engineering  design and  services, pulsation  dampeners, natural  gas
   odorizers,  quick-opening closures and parts  for its products.   The
   catalytic  reduction  systems segment  produces  selective  catalytic
   reduction  systems  used  for  air  pollution  abatement  to   reduce
   nitrogen oxide emissions.

  NOTE J - INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - Continued

   Segment profit and loss is based on revenue less direct costs of  the
   segment  before allocation of  general, administrative, research  and
   development  costs.    There  were  no  sales  or  transfers  between
   segments.   Segment  information and  a reconciliation  to  operating
   profit  for  the  years  ended  June 30,  1999,  1998  and  1997  are
   presented  below.   Note  that the Company  does not allocate assets,
   expenditures  for assets or  depreciation  expense on a segment basis
   for internal management reporting, and  therefore such information is
   not presented.

   Identifiable assets of  geographic areas are those assets related  to
   the Company's operations in each area.  United States assets  consist
   of all other operating assets of the Company.
