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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996




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 $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.

                                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.


NOTE 5 - CONTRACT RECEIVABLES

         Contract receivables consist of the following:

NOTE 11 - BACKLOG

         The following schedule shows a reconciliation of backlog representing
the amount of revenue the Company expects to realize from work to be performed
on uncompleted contracts in progress at December 31, 1996 and from contractual
agreements on which work has not yet begun:

              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
Accounting 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 reviews, 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.

                                  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.

   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 Filters, Inc. ("CECO") to reflect
         the acquisition of Busch Co. ("Busch") by CECO, 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
         transaction 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 CECO
         Environmental Corp. ("CEC"), its parent company; 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):

   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 Filters, Inc. ("CECO") to reflect
         the acquisition of Busch Co. ("Busch") by CECO, 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 CECO
         Environmental Corp. ("CEC"), its parent company; 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
