                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.    Interim Financial Statements

      The balance  sheet as of February 28, 1998,  and the related  statement of
      operations for the three month period ended February 28, 1998 and 1997 and
      the statement of cash flows for the three month period ended  February 28,
      1998 and 1997 are unaudited; in the opinion of management, all adjustments
      necessary for a fair  presentation of such financial  statements have been
      included.

      These  financial  statements  and notes are presented as permitted by Form
      10-QSB  and should be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  financial
      statements and notes included in the annual report on Form 10-KSB.

2.    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

      In  February  1997,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
      Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  Earnings Per Share
      ("FAS  128").  FAS 128  requires  presentation  of "basic"  and  "diluted"
      earnings per share,  as defined,  on the face of the income  statement for
      all entities  with complex  capital  structures.  FAS 128 is effective for
      financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and
      requires  restatement of all prior period earnings per share amounts.  The
      Company has adopted FAS 128 and has  restated all prior  periods.  FAS 128
      requires a reconciliation  of the numerators and denominators of the basic
      and diluted EPS computations. Options to purchase 210,894 shares of common
      stock at a weighted  average  price of $6.67 were  outstanding  during the
      three month  period  ended  February 28, 1998 but were not included in the
      computation of diluted EPS because the effect of these outstanding options
      would  be  antidilutive.  A  reconciliation  for the  three  months  ended
      February 28, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:

3.    Debt

       Effective  December 31, 1997, the Company  entered into a $3,500,000 line
of  credit   agreement  with  a  financial   institution   for  working  capital
requirements and completion of the Company's  manufacturing facility in Oklahoma
City.  This  financing  replaced  a  $2,000,000  line of  credit  payable  to an
individual.  The  outstanding  balance  at  February  28,  1998 was  $2,728,295.
Interest is payable monthly at a variable rate of two basis points over national
prime rate. The loan matures June 30, 1999. The agreement is  collateralized  by
certain accounts  receivable,  inventory,  rental fleet and patents. The Company
has received a commitment to increase this line of credit to  $5,000,000.  Also,
negotiations are in process to further increase this line of credit to help fund
increases in the Company's rental fleet.

     In March  1998,  the Company  entered  into a note  payable  for  $572,000.
Principal and interest  payments of $8,206 are due monthly and matures  December
2003.  The note bears  interest at 10%.  The note is  collateralized  by certain
equipment.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
         and Results of Operations

         Three Months Ended February 28, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended 
         February 28, 1997

         For the three months ended  February  28,  1998,  total tower  revenues
decreased to $4,050,590 from  $5,386,107 for the comparable  period in the prior
year.  During the current three month period, 39 percent of total tower revenues
was derived from sales of 41 modular  fiberglass  cooling towers,  48 percent of
total tower  revenues  was derived  from  construction  of the modular  concrete
tower,  12 percent of total tower  revenues  was derived  from rental of modular
fiberglass cooling towers and 1 percent of total tower revenues was derived from
other  revenues.  In the  comparable  three month period of 1997,  85 percent of
total tower  revenues was derived from sales of 107 modular  fiberglass  cooling
towers,  10 percent of total tower revenues was derived from construction of the
modular  concrete  tower,  1 percent of total tower  revenues  was derived  from
rental of modular  cooling  towers,  and 4 percent of total tower  revenues  was
derived from other tower  revenues.  Other tower revenues  consist  primarily of
sales of modular tower parts and service,  accessory equipment,  water treatment
equipment  and water  treatment  chemicals.  The  decrease in  fiberglass  tower
revenues  for 1998 is due not only to the decrease in the quantity of units sold
but also to the sales of smaller capacity, less expensive units. The decrease in
the number of units sold is due  primarily to the delays in the  completion  and
occupancy of the Oklahoma City (OKC) plant  combined with delays in the delivery
of the  manufacturing  equipment and tooling.  It is estimated that these delays
will continue to have a negative impact on the second quarter 1998. However, the
Company has tried to minimize the impact by  continuing to  aggressively  market
and sell its TTMT series modular fiberglass cooling tower which is continuing to
be assembled in its Chickasha,  Oklahoma  plant.  The increase in concrete tower
revenues is due to the increase in the number and size of jobs  completed and in
process.  The  increase in tower  rentals is due to an increase in the number of
rental contracts as well as an increase in the contract amount.  The Company has
been  focusing on marketing  this segment of the business and has  increased the
number of units available for rental. Accordingly, steady growth in rental tower
revenues is anticipated.  Other tower revenue is down from the previous year due
to the same reasons that tower sales  decreased.  No licensing  agreements  were
finalized  in the first  quarter of fiscal  1998  although  negotiations  are in
process for agreements in China and Northern  Europe.  Other operating  revenues
for the three months ended February 28, 1997 includes  technology  transfer fees
which were  realized  as a result of a license  agreement  with  Tecno  Procesos
Industriales covering the Republic of Mexico.

         The Company's cost of goods sold and constructed during the three-month
period ended  February 28, 1998,  was  $3,408,561,  or 84 percent of total tower
revenues, as compared to $4,315,723 or 80 percent of total tower revenues during
the  comparable  period  in  1997.  The  decrease  in cost  of  goods  sold  and
constructed during the first quarter of 1998 resulted from decreased  production
and sales of the modular fiberglass cooling towers. Overall margin for the first
quarter 1998  decreased  primarily as a result of lower  fiberglass  tower sales
which was partially offset by an increase in rental revenues,  which is a higher
margin operation.  Included in the cost of goods sold for the first quarter 1998
is $85,000 to retrofit and service  towers  previously  sold.  This  compares to
expenditures  of $144,000  during the  comparable  period in the prior year.  In
1995,  design  changes  were made and a  complete  quality  control  system  was
implemented  which  management  believes  will continue to control such per unit
expenditures in future periods.

         The three month period ended  February 28, 1998  reflected a 21 percent
increase  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  from  $367,845  in 1997 to
$444,704. The increase is due mainly to the addition of office staff and related
expenses, and additional expenses related to the OKC facility.  Selling expenses
increased from $281,756 to $425,465 due to increased sales and marketing efforts
for both the TTMT Series and the concrete  modular cooling towers,  including an
increase in sales staff and expenses related  primarily to the opening of direct
international sales offices. Management expects the increased investment to have
a positive  impact on  revenues  in future  periods.  Research  and  development
expenses  decreased from $143,839 in the first quarter of 1997 to $82,385 in the
first  quarter  of  1998.  Although  the  Company  has  no  fixed  research  and
development budget,  management does expect to continue to research  refinements
in cooling tower design and construction.

         The Company's loss from  operations for the three months ended February
28, 1998 was  $310,525 as  compared  to income of  $546,944  for the  comparable
period in the prior year.  After  interest  expense,  miscellaneous  items,  and
income tax benefit, the Company's net loss is $297,335 compared to net income of
$405,508 for the quarter ended February 28, 1997.

         The Company  recognized an income tax benefit of $198,223 for the three
months ended February 28, 1998, compared to no income tax benefit or expense for
the  comparable  period in 1997.  FAS 109  requires  that the  Company  record a
valuation  allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate  realization  of the
deferred  income  tax  assets  depends  on the  Company's  ability  to  generate
sufficient  taxable income in the future.  Management has determined that, based
on the Company's  ability to generate  taxable income in two  consecutive  years
(1996 and 1997),  it is more likely than not that the Company  will  realize the
deferred tax assets.

         The Company's  estimated  backlog for the next three quarters of fiscal
year 1998 is over $15.5 million  including a total of six contracts for the TTCT
Series  concrete  cooling  towers  and/or  parts  totaling  $4.2  million,  four
contracts  are scheduled  for  completion in the second  quarter of 1998 and the
remaining  contracts  are  projected  to be  completed in the last half of 1998.
Interest in this product has continued to increase in both the United States and
international  markets.  The  estimated  backlog for the TTMT Series  fiberglass
cooling towers is $7.3 million.  Actual deliveries of the TTMT Series towers and
the timing of these  deliveries,  is dependent  upon when the OKC plant is fully
operational . The Company expects to begin full  production in May 1998.  Rental
tower backlog is over $4.0 million with $.8 million scheduled for second quarter
1998 and the balance scheduled for the last half of 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       At February 28, 1998,  the Company had working  capital of  $6,307,697 as
compared to working  capital of $6,904,910  at November 30, 1997.  The Company's
cash  flow  provided  by  (used  in)  its  operating,  investing  and  financing
activities during first quarter 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

       The Company's capital requirements for its continuing  operations consist
of its general working capital needs, scheduled payments on its debt obligations
and capital  expenditures.  Management  anticipates that the Company's operating
activities  will  require  cash  during  1998,  which  primarily  relates to the
anticipated  growth in  receivables  and inventory  levels to support  expanding
sales. The Company tries to minimize its inventory of component parts,  although
minimum  order  requirements  of some  suppliers can cause  inventory  levels to
fluctuate  significantly  from  period to  period.  Bringing  the  manufacturing
processes in-house will enable the Company to better manage inventory levels and
reduce costs when the new manufacturing facility is fully operational.  However,
fluctuations  in inventory  levels are still expected due to the size of planned
production  runs of  components.  Management  also  attempts to manage  accounts
receivable to increase cash flow, but it is anticipated that accounts receivable
will increase as sales increase.  Other significant variances in working capital
items can also be expected.  Also, the Company's concrete  construction projects
will have a greater effect on working  capital  requirements  in the future.  At
February  28,  1998,  net costs in excess of billing and  estimated  earnings on
uncompleted  contracts  were  $1,063,546  as  compared to net costs in excess of
billings and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts of $385,604 at February
28, 1997. Normally, concrete construction projects provide for progress payments
of the  contract  price  with a  retainage  of 10 to 15  percent  payable  after
completion of the project.

       Scheduled  principal  payments on capital leases will total $152,461 over
the next twelve months. In addition,  $622,460 of principal payments will become
due on the Company's debt during the next twelve months.

       Substantially  all of the Company's planned capital  expenditures  during
1998  will be  related  to the  completion  of the new  manufacturing  facility,
construction of the new office facility in south Oklahoma City, and increases in
the rental fleet as necessary to meet demand. Management estimates the Company's
total investment in the new manufacturing facility will be $9 million, including
$3.5 million to equip the  facility.  As of February  28, 1998,  the Company had
incurred  approximately $8.4 million related to the manufacturing  facility. The
Company  expects to begin full  production in May 1998.  Construction of the new
office  facility  is expected  to  commence  in April 1998 and be  completed  in
December  1998.  The  manufacturing  facility  includes  equipment  to allow the
Company to produce parts used in the TTMT Series  cooling towers which have been
purchased from outside  vendors.  Management  believes that product costs can be
reduced by producing these parts in-house.  However, the Company may continue to
incur unforeseen costs and production problems,  particularly in the short term,
in bringing these processes in-house.

       The new  manufacturing  facility has been partially  financed with a $4.4
million loan from the Oklahoma Industries Authority (the "OIA") and a portion of
the proceeds of a private placement of $6 million, 10% Convertible  Subordinated
Debentures (the  "Debentures").  The industrial revenue bonds were issued by the
OIA in  October  1996.  The bonds  are  payable  in  quarterly  installments  of
principal and interest in the amount of approximately  $157,000.  A debt service
reserve  fund of  $157,000  was also set aside from the bond  proceeds.  The OIA
holds a mortgage on the facility to collateralize the bond indebtedness.







                                       -5-


<PAGE>





       The  Debentures  were issued by the Company  during the third  quarter of
1997,  yielding net proceeds of  approximately  $5,467,000.  The Debentures bear
interest at 10 percent,  which is payable  semiannually,  and mature on June 10,
2000.  The principal  balance of each  Debenture is  convertible  into shares of
common  stock at a price of $8.75  per  share at the  option  of each  Debenture
holder or at the option of the Company if the closing  price of the common stock
is at least 175% of the conversion  price for 20 of 30 consecutive  trading days
and certain other conditions are satisfied.

       In September  1997,  the Company  entered into a loan  agreement with the
City of  Oklahoma  City  under  which a HUD  Section  108 loan in the  amount of
$1,250,000   is  available   to  the  Company  for  start-up   expenses  of  the
manufacturing  facility  and  associated  working  capital  requirements.  As of
February  28,  1998,  $285,025 of these funds had been  advanced to the Company.
Initially  the loan bears  interest  at 20 basis  points  above the LIBOR  rate,
adjusted  monthly,  and interest  only is payable  quarterly.  When HUD provides
permanent financing,  the interest rate becomes fixed at the rate charged by HUD
to the City  and  principal  and  interest  are  payable  quarterly  based on an
eight-year  amortization period. The loan is collateralized by a second mortgage
on the manufacturing facility.

       The Company has entered into an agreement with a lending  institution for
a  total  funding  of   $1,750,000   for  equipment  and  tooling  for  the  new
manufacturing  facility.  In November 1997, the Company  executed a note payable
for initial  funding of $731,890 and in December 1997,  the Company  executed an
additional  note payable for the second  funding in the amount of $442,974.  The
final funding was in March 1998.

       Effective  December 31, 1997, the Company  entered into a $3,500,000 line
of  credit   agreement  with  a  financial   institution   for  working  capital
requirements and completion of the Company's  manufacturing facility in Oklahoma
City.  This  financing  replaced  a  $2,000,000  line of  credit  payable  to an
individual.  The  outstanding  balance  at  February  28,  1998 was  $2,728,295.
Interest is payable monthly at a variable rate of two basis points over national
prime rate. The loan matures June 30, 1999. The agreement is  collateralized  by
certain accounts  receivable,  inventory,  rental fleet and patents. The Company
has received a commitment to increase this line of credit to  $5,000,000.  Also,
negotiations are in process to further increase this line of credit to help fund
increases in the Company's rental fleet.

       The  Company  has a line of credit  at  Chickasha  Bank in the  amount of
$400,000 for  short-term  cash flow needs,  of which $7,500 was  outstanding  at
February 28, 1998. The Company also has a $1,200,000 credit arrangement with one
of its  major  vendors  to fund  materials  purchased  from the  vendor of which
$575,840 was outstanding and included in accounts payable at February 28, 1998.

       The Company has received a $2,000,000  loan  commitment  for the Oklahoma
City office facility which is expected to cost approximately  $2.1 million.  The
commitment to fund is  contingent  upon  completion of normal title  procedures.
Management expects to close this financing in April 1998.

       The Company  believes it has  sufficient  capital  resources  to fund its
capital  requirements  for at least the next four  quarters.  Management is very
pleased with the continued  improvement  in the Company's  liquidity and capital
resources  and believes  that the  Company's  improved  financial  position will
facilitate  additional  growth.  Although the Company's  financial  position has
improved,  substantial  growth beyond that expected by management could increase
the Company's capital  requirements and require it to obtain additional  capital
to  maintain  its  growth.  Management  recognizes  that the  Company  is highly
leveraged and that while financial leverage can increase the Company's return on
equity, it also increases the risk presented to equity owners of the Company.

Year 2000 Compliance

       Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in
the date field.  These programs were designed and developed without  considering
the impact of the upcoming  change in the century.  If not  corrected,  computer
applications  could fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year 2000. The
Company is in the process of  determining  whether  its  computer  programs  are
affected by the Year 2000 issue or whether the costs of making its systems  Year
2000 compliant or the  consequences  of failing to take necessary  actions would
have a  material  impact on the  Company's  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.  The Company is  currently  implementing  a new  financial  software
system which is Year 2000 compliant.


Forward Looking Statements

       Statements  of  the  Company's  or  management's   intentions,   beliefs,
anticipations,  expectations and similar  expressions  concerning  future events
contained in this report constitute  "forward looking  statements" as defined in
the Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. As with any future event,
there  can  be no  assurance  that  the  events  described  in  forward  looking
statements  made in this report will occur or that the results of future  events
will not vary materially from those described in the forward looking  statements
made in this report.  Important  factors that could cause the  Company's  actual
performance and operating  results to differ materially from the forward looking
statements  include,  but are not  limited to,  changes in the general  level of
economic  activity  in the markets  served by the  Company,  competition  in the
cooling  tower  industry and the  introduction  of new products by  competitors,
delays in refining the Company's manufacturing and construction techniques, cost
overruns on particular  projects,  availability of capital sufficient to support
the Company's  level of activity and the ability of the Company to implement its
business strategy, including timely and efficient production of its products and
utilization of the new OKC plant.
