ITEQ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
ITEQ, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ITEQ, Inc.
(a Delaware corporation, formerly Air-Cure Technologies, Inc.) and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996. We did not audit the financial statements of
Allied Industries, Inc., a company acquired during 1995 in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interests, as discussed in Note 2, for the period
from January 28, 1994 to December 31, 1994. The statement of operations and cash
flows for Allied Industries, Inc. is included in the 1994 consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows of ITEQ, Inc. and reflects total
revenues of 28% of the consolidated total. These statements were audited by
other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar
as it relates to amounts included for Allied Industries, Inc., is based solely
upon the report of other auditors. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated 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 that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of ITEQ, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As explained in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has given retroactive effect to the change in accounting for
percentage-of-completion on long-term contracts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ITEQ, Inc. (formerly Air-Cure Technologies, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (the
"Company") is a provider of manufactured equipment, engineered systems and
services used in the processing, treatment and movement of gases and liquids. It
is a domestic manufacturer of shell and tube heat exchangers, principally for
petrochemical and refining applications, and a producer of baghouses, scrubbers,
fans and other filtration systems and components for environmental and general
industrial applications. ITEQ also manufactures specialized process equipment,
such as reactors, blenders, stacks, towers, columns and pressure vessels,
principally for the refining, petrochemical and plastics industries. The Company
has operations in the United States, Canada, Germany and Singapore.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies consistently
applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements
follows.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ITEQ, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have
also been restated to reflect the merger with Allied Industries, Inc. ("Allied")
on December 28, 1995, which was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. (See
Note 2).
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company records revenues from long-term contracts using the
percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, the Company recognizes as
revenues that portion of the total contract price which the cost of work
completed to date bears to the estimated total cost of the work included in the
contract. Because contracts may extend over more than one fiscal period,
revisions of cost and profit estimates are made periodically and are reflected
in the accounting period in which they are determined. If the estimate of total
costs on a contract indicates a loss, the total anticipated loss is recognized
immediately. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and
subcontracting costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance,
such as supplies, tools and repairs.
The Company recognizes revenue from certain short-term contracts using the
completed contract method. Revenue is recognized when a project is substantially
complete. The contracts under this revenue recognition method are typically less
than three months in duration.
"Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts" represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. Such
revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year. "Billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts" represents
billings in excess of revenues recognized.

<PAGE> 12
ITEQ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Beginning in 1996, the Company estimated percentage-of-completion for the
materials portion of its long-term contracts at Allied based on when the
material was placed into production, whereas previously such estimates were
based on when the liability for the cost of the material was legally incurred.
The new method of applying the percentage-of-completion accounting principle was
adopted to better reflect the economics of Allied's revenue and profit earnings
process, and financial statements of prior years have been restated to apply the
revised method retroactively. The effect of the accounting change on previously
reported 1994 and 1995 results and net earnings of 1996 is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
INCREASE (DECREASE)
------------------------
1994 1995 1996
---- ------- -----
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Net earnings (loss)......................................... $94 $(1,608) $ 321
Net earnings (loss) per common share........................ -- $ (.14) $ .03
</TABLE>
The balances of retained earnings at December 31, 1994 and 1995 have been
increased (reduced) by $94 and $(1,514), respectively, for the effect (net of
income taxes) of applying retroactively the revised method of accounting. The
change in method had no effect on periods prior to 1994, since Allied is
included in the Company's historical financial statements beginning January 28,
1994, the date of inception of Allied.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments including
those with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of interest bearing accounts.
RESTRICTED CASH
From time to time, the Company pledges cash to financial institutions as
security for bonds.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $195 and $712 at December 31,
1995 and 1996, respectively. All retainages as of December 31, 1996 are expected
to be collected by December 31, 1997.
INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of costs for which no related revenue has been
recognized. Inventories include materials used in the manufacturing process,
purchased parts and equipment held for resale and are valued at the lower of
cost or market. Cost is determined by the average cost method for materials and
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for purchased parts. Inventory consists of
the following:

Property and equipment are stated at cost, including costs to ready assets
for use. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are computed on

</TABLE>
Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while major renewals
and betterments are capitalized. The cost of assets retired or otherwise
disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
accounts in the year of disposal. Gains and losses resulting from property
disposals are included in "Other income."
Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of," the Company reviews certain long-lived assets for
impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable and recognizes an impairment loss under certain circumstances in
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The
Company's adoption of SFAS No. 121 had no material effect on the Company's
results of operations or financial position.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES
The excess of cost over net assets acquired and licenses, trademarks and
tradenames are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from five
to forty years. The Company maintains separate financial records for each of its
acquired entities and performs periodic strategic and long-range planning for
each entity. This enables the Company to monitor each entity's historical and
expected performance in the context of the value assigned to acquisition
intangibles and to the amortization period applied to each intangible asset. The
Company assesses the recoverability of its goodwill whenever adverse events or
changes in circumstances or business climate indicate that expected future cash
flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) for individual business units
may not be sufficient to support recorded goodwill. The Company modifies the
life and/or the carrying amount of an acquisition intangible if an impairment is
identified. Amortization expense

INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires deferred taxes to be
provided based on temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets
and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are computed based upon the
weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding. The dilutive effect of common equivalent shares is calculated
through the use of the Treasury Stock Method. Common Stock equivalents consist
of stock options and warrants.
TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT
The financial activity of the Company's non-U.S. operations located in
Canada, Germany and Singapore are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance
with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Net assets of non-U.S.
operations whose "functional" currencies are other than the U.S. dollar are
translated at year end rates of exchange. Income and expense items are
translated at the average exchange rate for the year.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The presentation of the 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.
FAIR VALUES
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to the
short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of long-term obligations
is estimated based on ITEQ's current financing agreement and approximates
carrying value.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts
receivable. The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions.
Accounts receivable at any given time are concentrated in a number of primarily
domestic customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided for
estimated losses. To mitigate credit risk the Company may require customers to
make advance payments. At December 31, 1996, the Company had collected
approximately $2,018 in such advance payments which are included in progress
billings.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated
financial statements to conform with the December 31, 1996 presentation.
NOTE 2 -- BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
OHMSTEDE
On November 20, 1996 (effective November 1, 1996), the Company purchased
all the outstanding stock (excluding certain assets and liabilities) of
Ohmstede, Inc. ("Ohmstede") for approximately $52.9 million in cash. Assets not
purchased included the majority of receivables due from and a 99 percent equity
investment in C&D Robotics ("C&D"), a partnership formerly consolidated by
Ohmstede; a federal tax deposit made by the owners; and the cash surrender value
of life insurance policies for certain owners. Additionally, the former owners
received approximately $0.6 million in dividends just prior to the transaction,
as set forth in the agreement with the Company. As the Company continues to rent
operating space to C&D, rental fees charged to C&D are included in the financial
statements.
Air-Cure paid $52 million for Ohmstede's stock and $0.9 million for related
acquisition costs. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to
the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair
values at the date of the acquisition, as follows:

ALLIED
On December 28, 1995, the Company issued 4,140 shares of its common stock
in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Allied. The merger has
been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, the Company's
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and
operations of Allied effective January 28, 1994, the date of inception of
Allied.
Effective January 1, 1995, Allied was granted S Corporation tax status.
Accordingly, Allied did not pay U.S. Federal income taxes during 1995. Allied
was included in the Company's income tax return effective December 28, 1995,
and, therefore, a deferred tax liability and corresponding charge to income tax
expense of approximately $0.5 million, or $.04 per share, was recorded upon
closing to reflect Allied's net taxable temporary differences.
Revenues, net earnings and related per share amounts of the merged entities
are presented in the following table. The table includes unaudited pro forma net
earnings and per share amounts reflecting the elimination of the nonrecurring
merger costs and pro forma adjustments to present income taxes on the basis on

On May 25, 1994, Amerex, Inc. and Amerex Industries, Inc. (collectively
"Amerex") were merged into a subsidiary of the Company. In the merger, the
stockholders of Amerex received $4 million and 1,256 shares of Common Stock with
a fair market value of $3.69 per share at the acquisition date. The excess of
the total acquisition costs over the fair value of the net assets acquired in
the amount of $5.9 million is being amortized

gas cleaning and heat recovery equipment.
The accounts of Amerex have been included in the accompanying financial
statements for the period from the date of acquisition through December 31,
1996. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase with the purchase
price allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their
estimated fair market values.
NOTE 3 -- MERGER COSTS, RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND OTHER NONRECURRING COSTS
During 1996, the Company incurred a restructuring charge of $4.4 million,
of which $3.7 million and $0.7 million were recorded as restructuring charges
and cost of revenues, respectively. The charge included (i) a provision for the
contractually required severance obligations to the former president and chief
executive officer who was replaced in March 1996, and (ii) the cost of
implementing new management's plan to reduce the Company's overall cost
structure including employee severance, lease and other contract buyouts,
inventory and other asset impairments, losses related to termination of
unprofitable product lines, excess machinery disposal and other related costs.
The following table summarizes the major components of the restructuring
charge:

</TABLE>
When the Company committed to its restructuring plan during the first
quarter, it made the decision to terminate 15 employees, including the former
president and chief executive officer. By December 31, 1996, all 15 employees
had been terminated. Approximately $0.9 million in severance pay and benefits,
unpaid as of December 31, 1996, was paid during the first quarter of fiscal
1997. Substantially all of the terminated employees were either in management
positions or were professionals including engineers and accountants.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Interel and VIC subsidiaries
were reorganized and combined. The reorganization of these operations and costs
of settling a lawsuit resulted in a one-time charge of approximately $0.2
million. In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a nonrecurring
charge of approximately $1.1 million for acquisition costs related to the Allied
merger, which is more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements.
NOTE 4 -- CONTRACTS IN PROGRESS
The Company obtains substantially all of its contracts through competitive
bids. The Company's prerequisites for billing on contracts vary with individual
contract terms. The Company sometimes has bonds or letters of credit as
collateral on accounts receivable, and generally all amounts are due in the
month following performance under contract except for retainages that are
collected upon completion of the contract. The Company has lien rights on
certain contracts.

On November 18, 1996, the Company revised its financing agreement to, among
other things, increase its credit facilities with participating financial
institutions ("Lenders"), including Bank of America National Trust and Savings
Association ("BoA"), as agent for the Lenders. The financing consists of a $35
million term loan and a $38 million revolving line of credit facility. The term
loan currently bears interest at the BoA Offshore Rate ("Offshore Rate"), as
defined by BoA, plus a spread, and the line of credit bears interest at the
Offshore Rate or the Base Rate plus spreads. The spread can range from 2% to 3%
above the Offshore Rate and from 0.25% to 1.25% above the Base Rate. The spread
increases or decreases based on the Company's leverage ratio. Substantially all
of the assets of the Company serve as collateral.
In addition to the bank financing, on November 18, 1996, the Company
entered into two Senior Subordinated Notes ("Subordinated Notes") with
International Mezzanine Capital, B.V. and First Commerce Capital, (collectively,
the "Subordinated Note Holders"), for $13 million and $2 million, respectively.
The Subordinated Notes, which mature November 18, 2003, bear interest at 12%
through December 31, 1997 and increase by 0.5% per year for each year they
remain unpaid. As further consideration, the Subordinated Note Holders received
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,760 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at $5.10 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants may be exercised at any
time or from time to time until they expire on November 18, 2003. The warrants
were valued at approximately $2.3 million, which was reflected as equity and as
a debt discount at the date of their issuance, and will be amortized as
additional interest expense over the seven-year life of the Subordinated Notes.
The debt obligations require the Company to maintain certain levels of
working capital and stockholders' equity and contain other provisions, some of
which restrict expenditures for the purchase of the Company's stock, for capital
expenditures and for payment of dividends. Such agreements also limit, subject
to the Lenders' and Subordinated Note Holders' consent, the creation, incurrence
or assumption of indebtedness (as defined by the agreements) and acquisitions
and investments. At December 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the
provisions of its debt agreements.

No warrants have been exercised. The exercise price of the subordinated
debt warrants and the financial advisor warrants issued in June of 1992 are

STOCK OPTIONS
On October 1, 1990, the Company's Board of Directors approved an Employee
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which was subsequently amended and which provides
for the issuance of up to 10% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common
Stock shares but initially not less than 1,250 shares of Common Stock (subject
to anti-dilution provisions). Options granted expire in five to ten years, and
the option price, which must be at least the fair market value of the Company's
stock at the date of grant can be paid in cash or in shares of the Company's
Common Stock. Options may not be transferred by the optionee other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution.
The Company's Board of Directors approved the Directors' Stock Option Plan
on May 19, 1993, which provides for the issuance of up to 200 shares of Common
Stock (subject to anti-dilution provisions). The plan currently provides that
each outside director will be granted an option to purchase 10 shares of Common
Stock at the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant at each
time the director is elected, re-elected or appointed to the Board of Directors.
Options granted under this plan expire after ten years, and the option price
must be paid in cash. Options may not be transferred by the optionee other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
The Company accounts for these plans under APB Opinion No. 25, under which
no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for these plans
been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", the Company's net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per
common share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

Because the SFAS 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options
granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may
not be representative of the pro forma cost to be expected in future years. The
fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the
