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.

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.

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.

1996) plus .5%. The agreement is collateralized by inventory and equipment and

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has a defined contribution profit sharing plan covering
substantially all full-time employees. Contributions to the plans are determined
annually by management. The plan also contains a participant salary reduction
and employer matching provision. The employer matching portion is limited to 6%
of eligible compensation. Total contributions to the Plan for the year ended
December 31, 1996 were approximately $64,000.
NOTE 10 - LEASES
The Company leases its corporate offices from an entity related through
common ownership. The lease provides for monthly rental payments of
approximately $11,000 and is due to expire on July 31, 1999.
In addition, the Company also leases automobiles and certain office
equipment. Total rent expense approximated $203,000 for the year ended December
31, 1996.
Following is a schedule, by year, of the future minimum rental payments
required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable
lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 1996:
1997 $214,000
1998 198,000
1999 103,000
2000 13,000
2001 2,000
--------

========
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, 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.

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.

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):
