This Annual Report on
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Form&nbsp;10-K</FONT> includes
forward-looking statements based on the Company&#146;s current
expectations, which are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements include information concerning future
results of operations and financial condition. Statements that
contain words such as &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148;
&#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;intends,&#148;
&#147;estimates,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;should,&#148;
&#147;could,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148;
&#147;project,&#148; &#147;predict,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; or
similar expressions may be forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, and many factors could affect the future
financial results and condition of the Company. Factors that may
have a material effect on our revenues, expenses and operating
results include adverse business or market conditions, the
Company&#146;s ability to secure and satisfy customers, the
availability and cost of materials from suppliers, adverse
competitive developments and changes in customer requirements as
well as those circumstances discussed under &#147;Risk
Factors,&#148; below. Accordingly, actual results may differ
materially from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements contained in this Report. Any
forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report
are based on current assumptions that the Company will continue
to develop, market, manufacture, and ship products and provide
services on a competitive and timely basis, that competitive
conditions in the Company&#146;s markets will not change in a
materially adverse way, that the Company will accurately
identify and meet customer needs for products and services, that
the Company will be able to retain and hire key employees, that
the Company&#146;s capabilities will remain competitive, that
risks related to shifts in customer demand are minimized and
that there will be no material adverse change in the operations
or business of the Company. Assumptions relating to these
factors involve judgments that are based on available
information, which may not be complete, and are subject to
changes in many factors beyond the control of the Company that
can materially affect results. Because of these and other
factors that affect our operating results, past financial
performance should not be considered an indicator of future
performance, and investors should not use historical trends to
anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Our business is subject to a variety of risks, including the
risks described below. While we believe that the risks and
uncertainties described below are the more significant risks and
uncertainties facing our business, they are not the only ones
facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not known
to us or not described below may also impair our business
operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be
harmed and we may not be able to achieve our goals. This Annual
Report also includes statements reflecting assumptions,
expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future
events that are intended as &#147;forward-looking
statements&#148; under the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 and should be read in conjunction with the
discussion under Forward-Looking Statements, above.

Many of our competitors are significantly larger and have
substantially greater resources than we do. Competition in the
industry depends on a number of factors, including price.
Certain of our competitors may have lower cost structures and
may, therefore, be able to provide their products or services at
lower rates than we are able to provide. We cannot be certain
that our competitors will not develop the expertise, experience
and resources to provide services that are superior in both
price and quality to our services. Similarly, we cannot be
certain that we will be able to maintain or enhance our
competitive position within our industry, maintain our customer
base at current levels or increase our customer base.

If the general level of economic activity deteriorates from
current levels, our customers may delay or cancel new projects.
A number of factors, including financing conditions for and
potential bankruptcies in the industries we serve, could
adversely affect our customers and their ability or willingness
to fund capital expenditures in the future or pay for past
services. In addition, consolidation, competition or capital
constraints in the industries we serve may result in reduced
spending by, or the loss of, one or more of our customers.

Our raw material costs represented approximately 51% of our
revenues in fiscal 2005. We purchase a wide variety of raw
materials to manufacture our products including steel, aluminum,
copper, and various electrical components. Unanticipated
increases in raw material requirements or price increases could
increase production costs and adversely affect profitability.

We currently generate, and expect to continue to generate, a
significant portion of our revenues under fixed-price contracts.
We must estimate the costs of completing a particular project to
bid for fixed-price contracts. The cost of labor and materials,
however, may vary from the costs we originally estimated. These
variations, along with other risks inherent in performing
fixed-price contracts, may cause actual revenue and gross
profits for a project to differ from those we originally
estimated and could result in reduced profitability or losses on
projects. Depending upon the size of a particular project,
variations from the estimated contract costs could have a
significant impact on our operating results for any fiscal
quarter or year.

We intend to pursue growth through the pursuit of opportunities

acquisitions on acceptable terms or for other reasons. Moreover,

As discussed in &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&nbsp;&#151;
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates&#148; and in the
notes to our consolidated financial statements, a significant
portion of our revenues is recognized on a
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">percentage-of</FONT>-completion
method of accounting. The
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">percentage-of</FONT>-completion
accounting practice we use results in our recognizing contract
revenues and earnings ratably over the contract term in
proportion to our incurrence of contract costs, primarily labor.
The earnings or losses recognized on individual contracts are
based on estimates of contract revenues, costs and
profitability. Contract losses are recognized in full when
determined, and contract profit estimates are adjusted based on
ongoing reviews of contract profitability. Actual collection of
contract amounts or change orders could differ from estimated
amounts and could result in a reduction or elimination of
previously recognized earnings. In certain circumstances, it is
possible that such adjustments could be significant.

We have a backlog of work to be completed on contracts. Orders
included in our backlog are represented by customer purchase
orders and contracts, which we believe to be firm. Backlog
develops as a result of new business taken, which represents the
revenue value of new project commitments received by us during a
given period. Backlog consists of projects which have either
(1)&nbsp;not yet been started or (2)&nbsp;are in progress and
are not yet complete. In the latter case, the revenue value
reported in backlog is the remaining value associated with work
that has not yet been completed. From time to time, projects are
canceled that appeared to have a high certainty of going forward
at the time they were recorded as new business taken. In the
event of a project cancellation, we may be reimbursed for
certain costs but typically have no contractual right to the
total revenue reflected in our backlog. In addition to being
unable to recover certain direct costs, canceled projects may
also result in additional unrecoverable costs due to the
resulting underutilization of our assets.

Our business operations are consolidated into two business

Approximately 75%, 86% and 84% of our consolidated revenues for
the fiscal years ended October&nbsp;31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, were generated in the United States of America.
Approximately 84% of our long-lived assets were located in the
United States at October&nbsp;31, 2005, with the remaining
balance located primarily in the United Kingdom. Financial
information related to our business and geographical segments is

manufacturing facility is in the United Kingdom. This
acquisition is part of the Company&#146;s overall strategy to
increase its international presence. S&#38;I affords Powell the
opportunity to serve customers with products covering a wider
range of electrical standards and opens new geographic markets
previously closed due to our lack of product portfolio that met
international electrical standards. The fit, culture and market

This segment&#146;s principal products are designed for use by
and marketed to sophisticated users of large amounts of
electrical energy. Our customers include oil and gas producers,
oil and gas pipelines, refineries, petrochemical plants,
electrical power generators, public and private utilities,
mining, pulp and paper mills, transportation systems,
governmental agencies, and other large industrial customers.

Products and services are principally sold directly to the
end-user or to an EPC (engineering, procurement and
construction) firm on behalf of the end-user. We market and sell
our products and services to a wide variety of customers,
markets and geographic regions. During each of the past three
fiscal years, we did not have any one customer that accounted
for more than 10% of annual segment revenues. Accordingly, we do
not believe that the loss of any specific customer would have a
material adverse effect on our business. While we are not
dependent upon any one customer for revenues, we could be
adversely impacted by a significant reduction in business volume
from a particular industry which we currently serve.

Our Electrical Power Products segment operates in a competitive
market where competition for each project varies. The
competition may include large multinational firms as well as
small regional low-cost providers, depending upon the type of
project. This segment&#146;s products and systems are
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">engineered-to</FONT>-order and
designed to meet the exact specifications of our customers. Many
repeat customers seek our involvement in finding solutions to
specific project-related issues including physical size, rating,
application, installation, and commissioning. We consider our
engineering, manufacturing, and service capabilities vital to
the success of our business, and believe our technical and
project management strengths, together with our responsiveness
and flexibility to the needs of our customers, give us a
competitive advantage in our markets. Ultimately, our
competitive position is dependent on the ability to provide
quality products and systems on a timely basis at a competitive
price.

Orders in the Electrical Power Products segment backlog at
October&nbsp;31, 2005, totaled $212.9&nbsp;million compared to
$89.5&nbsp;million at the end of the previous fiscal year. We
anticipate that approximately $160&nbsp;million of our ending
2005 backlog will be fulfilled during our fiscal year 2006. A
portion of the increase in backlog relates to a contract
totaling approximately $51&nbsp;million which will be delivered
over a four-year period. This contract is with a municipal
agency, and production began in the first quarter of fiscal
2006. Orders included in our backlog are represented by customer
purchase orders and contracts, which we believe to be firm.
However, weak economic conditions caused us to experience some
customer delays and cancellations of certain projects during
2004 and 2003.

The principal raw materials used in Electrical Power
Products&#146; operations include steel, copper, aluminum, and
various electrical components. These raw material costs
represented approximately 51% of our revenues in fiscal 2005.
Unanticipated increases in raw material requirements or price
increases could increase production costs and adversely affect
profitability.

We purchase certain key electrical components on a sole-source
basis and maintain a qualification and performance monitoring
program to control risk associated with sole-sourced items.
Changes in our design to accommodate similar components from
other suppliers could be implemented to resolve a supply problem
related to a sole-sourced component. In this circumstance,
supply problems could result in short-term delays in our ability
to meet commitments to our customers. We believe that sources of

components are generally sufficient and have no reason to
believe a shortage of raw materials will cause any material
adverse impact during fiscal year 2006. While we are not
dependent on any one supplier for a material amount of our raw
materials, we are highly dependent on our suppliers in order to
meet commitments to our customers. We did not experience
significant or unusual problems in the purchase of key raw
materials and commodities in the past three years.

This segment is subject to the effects of changing prices.
During fiscal 2004 and 2005, we experienced increased costs for
certain commodities, in particular steel, copper and aluminum
products, which are used in the production of our products.
While the cost outlook for commodities used in production of our
products is not certain, we believe we can manage these
inflationary pressures through contract pricing adjustments and
by actively pursuing internal cost reduction efforts. We have
not entered into any derivative contracts to hedge our exposure
to commodity price changes in fiscal years 2005, 2004, or 2003.

This segment&#146;s products and services are principally sold
directly to end-users in the transportation, environmental,
energy, and industrial sectors. We may be dependent on one
specific contract or customer for a significant percentage of
our revenues due to the nature of large, long-term construction
projects common to this segment. For example, during 2003, we
received a contract to design and build Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS)&nbsp;for the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey, which accounted for 16% of segment revenues
in fiscal 2003 and 44% in both fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005. In
each of the past three fiscal years, we had revenues with one
customer that individually accounted for more than 10% of our
segment revenues. Revenues from these customers totaled
$17.1&nbsp;million, $14.8&nbsp;million, and $4.8&nbsp;million in
fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our contracts often
represent large-scale, single-need projects with an individual
customer. By their nature, these projects are typically
nonrecurring for those customers, and multiple and/or continuous
requirements of similar magnitude with the same customer are
rare. Thus, the inability to successfully replace a completed
large contract with one or more of combined similar magnitude
could have a material adverse effect on segment revenues.

We also own one idle facility, located in Elyria, Ohio,
consisting of manufacturing and office space. We anticipate that
we will sell this property during the coming year. As this
property is held for sale, the $0.8&nbsp;million of related net
book value is included in other current assets at
October&nbsp;31, 2005. This facility was previously used to
manufacture our nonsegregated bus duct product line, which has
been consolidated into another existing Company facility.

All leased properties are subject to long-term leases with
remaining lease terms ranging from one to four years as of
October&nbsp;31, 2005. We do not anticipate experiencing
significant difficulty in retaining occupancy of any of our
leased facilities through lease renewals prior to expiration or
through <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">month-to</FONT>-month
occupancy, or in replacing them with equivalent facilities.

We previously entered into a construction joint venture
agreement to supply, install and commission a Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition System (&#147;SCADA&#148;) to
monitor and control the distribution and delivery of fresh water
under a contract with the City of San&nbsp;Francisco Public
Utility Commission (&#147;Commission&#148;). The project was
substantially completed and has been performing to the
satisfaction of the Commission. However, various factors outside
of our control and the control of our joint venture partner
caused numerous changes and additions to the work that in turn
delayed the completion of the project. The Commission has
withheld liquidated damages and earned contract payments from
the joint venture. We have made claims against the Commission
for various matters, including compensation for extra work and
delay to the project. We are currently pursuing the recovery of
amounts owed under the contract, as well as legal and other
costs incurred to defend our claim. Unless the matter is
otherwise resolved, this claim is scheduled to go to trial in
the first half of 2006.

As of October&nbsp;31, 2005, we had approximately
$1.4&nbsp;million recorded in our consolidated balance sheet for
contractually owed amounts in accounts receivable and costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts related to our portion of this contract. Consistent
with our policy, only costs of directed change orders have been
recorded by the Company. During the last two fiscal years, the
Company&#146;s gross profit has been reduced by approximately
$2.9&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 and $0.9&nbsp;million in fiscal
2004 related to direct costs, including legal fees, related to
this dispute. We have not recorded any amounts related to our
claims and counterclaims alleging breach of the agreement.
Although a failure to recover the amounts recorded could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations, we believe
that, under the circumstances and on the basis of information
now available, an unfavorable outcome is unlikely.

Our current credit agreement limits the payment of dividends,
other than dividends payable solely in our capital stock,
without prior consent of our lenders. To date, we have not paid
cash dividends on our common stock, and for the foreseeable
future we intend to retain earnings for the development of our
business. Future decisions to pay cash dividends will be at the
discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon our
results of operations, financial condition and capital
expenditure plans, along with other relevant factors.

We have experienced a marked improvement in market demand for
our products and services. In fiscal 2005, our markets improved
considerably over the difficult market conditions that existed
in fiscal 2003 and 2004. Additionally, market price levels are
beginning to improve as the overall volume of business activity
has increased. We believe this improvement in the market should
benefit our operating results in fiscal 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
This past year, we significantly enhanced our international
presence and improved our capability to serve our existing base
of global customers. On July&nbsp;4, 2005, we acquired certain
assets and assumed certain operating liabilities and contracts
of Switchgear&nbsp;&#38; Instrumentation, Limited. Total
consideration paid for S&#38;I was approximately
$18.0&nbsp;million (excluding expenses of approximately
$1.2&nbsp;million). Approximately $10.3&nbsp;million of the
purchase price was funded from existing cash and investments,
and the balance was provided through additional debt financing.
S&#38;I&#146;s primary manufacturing facility is located in the
United Kingdom. S&#38;I is a supplier of medium and low voltage
switchgear, intelligent motor control systems and power
distribution solutions to a wide range of process industries
with a focus on oil and gas, petrochemical, and other
process-related industries. The operating results of S&#38;I are
included in our Electrical Power Products Segment from the
acquisition date. Additional information concerning this
acquisition, related debt and business segments is included in
Notes&nbsp;C, H and L, respectively, of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. We anticipate opportunities
outside of the United States to continue to grow, and with the
integration with our U.S.&nbsp;operations, S&#38;I is expected
to significantly improve our ability to support the worldwide
investment in oil and gas production, refineries and
petrochemical facilities.

Beginning in late fiscal 2004, our principal markets of heavy
industry and utilities entered into a new investment cycle.
Customer inquiries, or requests for proposals, steadily
strengthened during the second half of fiscal 2004 which led to
a strengthening in new orders in fiscal 2005. One of the
positive trends we have experienced is an increase in new order
activity. Orders received during the second half of fiscal 2005
totaled $226.8&nbsp;million versus $104.5&nbsp;million in the
same period a year ago. We currently anticipate that this higher
level of business activity will continue into fiscal 2006.

During 2005, we completed a consolidation plan to reduce the
number of facilities in our Electrical Power Products segment.
This consolidation has reduced our overhead costs and improved
our operating efficiencies. In the first three months of 2005,
we incurred <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">start-up</FONT>
difficulties and inefficiencies as a result of relocating some
of our product lines. These transition inefficiencies have now
been resolved, and fiscal 2006 should benefit from these
consolidations. During the second half of 2005, we completed our
evaluation and selection of a new Enterprise Resource Planning
System (&#147;ERP System&#148;). Implementation at each of our
U.S.&nbsp;Electrical Power Products operations is planned by the
end of fiscal 2006. The implementation of a new ERP System will
provide the tools needed to redesign, streamline and standardize
our business processes across the business segment with the goal
of improving efficiencies and reducing costs of operations.

Consolidated revenues increased 24.5% to $256.6&nbsp;million in
fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 revenues of
$206.1&nbsp;million. Revenues increased primarily due to general
market recovery, a concerted sales effort aimed at strengthening
our backlog and our acquisition of S&#38;I in July 2005. The
S&#38;I acquisition added revenues of $19.9&nbsp;million, all
outside the United States, in fiscal 2005. For the twelve months
ended October&nbsp;31, 2005, revenues in the United States
increased by 8% to $191.7&nbsp;million. Revenues outside of the
United States were $64.9&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 compared to
$29.0&nbsp;million in the prior year, primarily due to our
acquisition of S&#38;I. Revenues outside of the United States
accounted for 25% of consolidated revenues in fiscal 2005
compared to 14% in fiscal 2004, primarily due to our acquisition
of S&#38;I.

Our Electrical Power Products segment recorded revenues of
$220.1&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005, which includes revenues of
$19.9&nbsp;million from our July 2005 acquisition of S&#38;I,
compared to $173.5&nbsp;million for the previous year. During
fiscal 2005, revenues from utility markets and from industrial
customers strengthened compared to the prior year. In fiscal
2005, revenues from public and private utilities were
approximately $78.4&nbsp;million, an increase of
$19.6&nbsp;million compared to fiscal 2004. Revenues from
industrial customers totaled $133.1&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005,
a 36% increase over the prior year. Municipal and transit
projects generated revenues of $8.6&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005
compared to $16.7&nbsp;million a year ago.

The Electrical Power Products segment reported gross profit, as
a percentage of revenues, of 15.2% in fiscal 2005, compared to
16.8% in fiscal 2004. Material costs for basic commodities
increased $1.5&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 compared to a year
ago, primarily due to higher unit prices for copper, aluminum
and steel. In addition, gross profit margins were adversely
impacted in fiscal 2005 due to competitive pricing pressures as
a result of depressed market levels when projects were bid in
previous periods. Gross profit in fiscal 2004 was adversely
impacted by one-time expenses of $1.8&nbsp;million associated
with our decision to close certain underutilized operating
facilities. These expenses included employee severance, training
and equipment relocation costs.

Revenues in our Process Control Systems segment increased to
$36.5&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 from $32.7&nbsp;million in
fiscal 2004. The strength of our revenues is related, in part,
to our contract to design and build the Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS)&nbsp;for the Holland and Lincoln
tunnels. Revenues in fiscal 2005 also include $1.7&nbsp;million
related to the favorable settlement of a claim which was not
recorded by the Company related to the Central Artery Tunnel
Project as discussed in Note&nbsp;K of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Segment gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, improved to
28.7% in fiscal 2005 compared to 21.0% in fiscal 2004. This
increase in gross profit margin can be attributed to improved
execution on a number of projects nearing completion and the
recovery of previously recognized costs on the Central Artery
Tunnel Project. Additionally, gross profit was negatively
impacted by approximately $2.9&nbsp;million in 2005 and
$0.9&nbsp;million in 2004 related primarily to legal costs
incurred related to the recovery of amounts owed on a previously
completed contract.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses
increased 18.1% to $41.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 compared to
$35.4&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004. Approximately 33% of this
increase is related to the business activities of S&#38;I,
acquired in July 2005. Commission expenses for sales
representatives as well as direct sales expenses increased by
approximately $1.7&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 compared to
fiscal 2004 due to the concerted effort to increase revenues and
backlog discussed above. Accounting and professional fees have
increased by $1.5&nbsp;million primarily due to costs incurred
for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and costs associated with on-going
acquisition activities. These increases in selling, general and
administrative costs were partially offset by one-time costs
incurred in fiscal 2004 of approximately $0.4&nbsp;million and
reduced costs in 2005 resulting from the closing of certain
manufacturing facilities. Additionally, research and development
expenditures decreased to $2.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 from
$3.5&nbsp;million last year. Selling, general and administrative
expenses have also increased due to the commensurate increase in
revenue.

$36.5&nbsp;million to $177.1&nbsp;million in 2004 compared to
2003. Revenues outside of the United States accounted for 14% of
consolidated revenues in fiscal 2004 compared to 16% in 2003.

Our Electrical Power Products segment recorded revenues of
$173.5&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004 compared to
$227.0&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Customers had been reluctant
to commit to new capital construction projects throughout fiscal
2004 due to economic uncertainty. However, we were able to
expand revenues related to system modification and equipment
replacement as customers looked for ways to extend the lives of
existing systems. Overall, we experienced a decline in revenues
in each of our major markets. Revenues from industrial customers
were $98.0&nbsp;million in 2004 compared to $125.0&nbsp;million
in 2003. Utility revenues were $59.0&nbsp;million in 2004
compared to $79.0&nbsp;million in 2003. Municipal and transit
projects generated revenues of $17.0&nbsp;million compared to
$23.0&nbsp;million in 2003.

Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 16.8% in
fiscal 2004 from 18.8% in fiscal 2003. Fiscal 2004 costs of
goods sold included one-time expenses of $1.8&nbsp;million to
consolidate our operations. Consolidation expenses included
employee severance, training and equipment relocation costs.
Inflationary pressures, primarily due to higher commodity prices
in copper, aluminum and steel increased direct material expenses
by approximately 4%, or $3.3&nbsp;million, compared to fiscal
2003.

Both revenue and gross profit have been adversely impacted by
competitive pricing in a depressed marketplace. Partially
offsetting adverse market conditions have been the results of
our efforts to reduce our production overhead costs by improving
operating efficiencies through the implementation of lean
initiatives.

Revenues in our Process Control Systems segment increased 24% to
$32.7&nbsp;million compared to $26.4&nbsp;million in fiscal
2003. The increase in revenue was primarily attributed to our
contract to design and build Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS)&nbsp;for the Holland and Lincoln tunnels for the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey. This contract accounted
for $14.3&nbsp;million of segment revenues in fiscal 2004 and
$4.2&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. At October&nbsp;31, 2004, the
remaining value associated with this project in backlog was
$19.5&nbsp;million, or 44% of segment backlog, which was
expected to be recognized as revenue in 2005. Export revenue
increased to $0.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004 from
$0.7&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003.

Segment gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, was 21.0% in
fiscal 2004, compared to 23.5% in fiscal year 2003. Gross
profits as a percentage of revenues were reduced in 2004 due to
the large amount of subcontract work and material pass-through
purchases on the Holland and Lincoln tunnels contract which
typically generates significantly lower profits compared to our
other professional services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$35.4&nbsp;million, or 17.2% of revenues, in fiscal 2004
compared to $35.3&nbsp;million, or 13.9% of revenues, in fiscal
2003. In fiscal 2004, accounting and auditing fees increased
$0.8&nbsp;million compared to 2003, primarily attributable to
Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts. One-time consolidation
expenses of $0.4&nbsp;million were incurred in fiscal 2004.
These expenses were costs associated with actions to consolidate
our operations and close certain facilities which represented
excess capacity. The benefit of lower operating overheads should
be realized beginning in 2005. Excluding the impact of these
increases, selling, general and administrative expenses would
have decreased consistent with revenues.

Research and development expenditures were $3.5&nbsp;million in
2004 compared to $3.6&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Our research
efforts were directed toward the discovery and development of
new products and processes, as well as improvements in existing
products and processes. Research and development costs are

We incurred $0.1&nbsp;million in interest expense in fiscal 2004
compared to $0.4&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Interest expense
was reduced by favorable interest rates and a decreased balance
on our industrial revenue bond debt. Our industrial revenue
bonds have scheduled payments of $0.4&nbsp;million that become
due each year in October. Additionally, in fiscal 2003, we
incurred $0.2&nbsp;million in interest expense on our term loan
and the associated interest rate swap. In September 2003, we
paid the remaining principal balance on our term loan, which
reduced our interest expense.

in net income primarily related to lower business volume and
decreased gross profits in fiscal 2004. Gross profits declined
as a result of one-time consolidation costs, inflationary
pressures on materials costs, and depressed market price levels.
Partially offsetting lower gross profits were higher interest
income and a net income tax benefit.

respectively. This reduction in cash was principally used to
fund the growth in accounts receivable, inventories and costs
related to uncompleted contracts which have not been billed.
This use of cash has resulted from the need for increased levels
of working capital needed to support increased levels of
business activity. During fiscal 2004 and 2003, operating
activities provided net cash of $24.9&nbsp;million and
$36.7&nbsp;million, respectively, of which $19.9&nbsp;million
and $22.5&nbsp;million, respectively, resulted from a reduction
in operating assets and liabilities with the remainder of the
increase related to net earnings adjusted for depreciation,
amortization, and other noncash expenses. Lower levels of
business activity in 2004 and 2003 resulted in lower levels of
working capital required to support operating needs.

We are contingently liable for secured and unsecured letters of

We expect the recent improvement in our principal markets to
continue into 2006. Customer inquiries, or requests for
proposals, steadily strengthened during the second half of
fiscal 2004 which led to a strengthening in new orders in fiscal
2005. One of the positive trends we have experienced is an
increase in new order activity. Orders received during the
second half of fiscal 2005 totaled $226.8&nbsp;million versus
$104.5&nbsp;million in the same period a year ago. We currently
anticipate that this higher level of business activity will
continue into fiscal 2006.

In our Electrical Power Products segment, third and fourth
quarter orders increased both sequentially and year over year.
In addition, we will benefit from a full year of revenue and
earnings contribution from our acquisition of S&#38;I. Although
our Process Controls Systems segment continues to experience
soft market conditions, we anticipate that increased funding for
municipal projects will be available as general economic
conditions strengthen. We believe we will be well positioned to
take advantage of improving economic conditions.

We anticipate that we will continue to reinvest a portion of our
cash generated from operations into working capital in fiscal
2006. Working capital needs are anticipated to increase with
growing levels of business activity. We believe that working

The pace of new orders significantly strengthened as 2005
progressed and we ended the year with an order rate that we have
not experienced since 2002. We anticipate that these conditions
will continue into 2006. This is a marked improvement over 2003
and 2004 in which we experienced a significant deterioration in
business volume due to the effects of the U.S.&nbsp;economy on
our markets and customers. During those years, new investments
in infrastructure projects were curtailed in both our utility
and industrial market segments, and our municipal customers
faced a reduced tax base with which to fund infrastructure
projects. Beginning in 2004, there were indications of an
improving U.S.&nbsp;economy, and new business inquiry levels
strengthened throughout 2005.

We have experienced significant price pressures with our key raw
materials, primarily copper, aluminum and steel since the
U.S.&nbsp;economy began to show signs of improvement in 2004.
Competitive market pressures limited our ability to pass these
cost increases to our customers. These competing pressures
eroded our earnings in 2004 and 2005. We anticipate that these
inflationary pressures will continue to adversely impact our
operations in 2006.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. We believe the
following accounting policies and estimates to be critical in
the preparation and reporting of our consolidated financial
statements.

Under the

method of accounting, revenues are recognized as work is
performed based on the estimated completion to date calculated
by multiplying the total contract price by percentage of
performance to date, based on total labor dollars or hours
incurred to date to the total estimated labor dollars or hours
estimated at completion. Application of the
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">percentage-of</FONT>-completion
method of accounting requires the use of estimates of costs to
be incurred for the performance of the contract. Contract costs
include all direct material, direct labor costs and those
indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect
labor, supplies, tools, repairs and all costs associated with
operation of equipment (excluding depreciation). The cost
estimation process is based upon the professional knowledge and
experience of the Company&#146;s engineers, project managers,
and financial professionals. Factors that are considered in
estimating the work to be completed and ultimate contract
recovery include the availability and productivity of labor, the
nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the effect of
change orders, the availability of materials, the effect of any
delays in performance and the recoverability of any claims.
Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated
profitability, and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized
in the period in which the revisions are determined. Whenever
revisions of estimated contract costs and contract values
indicate that the contract costs will exceed estimated revenues,
thus creating a loss, a provision for the total estimated loss
is recorded in that period.

We maintain and continually assess the adequacy of an allowance
for doubtful accounts representing our estimate for losses
resulting from the inability of our customers to pay amounts due
to us. This estimated allowance is based on historical
experience of uncollected accounts, the level of past due
accounts, the overall level of outstanding accounts receivable,
information about specific customers with respect to their
inability to make payments and expectations of future conditions
that could impact the collectibility of accounts receivable.
However, future changes in our customers&#146; operating
performance and cash flows or in general economic conditions
could have an impact on their ability to fully pay these
amounts, which could have a material impact on our operating
results.

We have significant investments in long-lived assets, including
property and equipment and goodwill. We evaluate the
recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable. We also
evaluate potential impairment of goodwill on an annual basis.
The review for impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill
takes into account estimates of future cash flows. Our estimates
of future cash flows are based upon budgets and longer-range
plans. These budgets and plans are used for internal purposes
and are also the basis for communication with outside parties
about future business trends. While we believe the assumptions
we use to estimate future cash flows are reasonable, there can
be no assurance that the expected future cash flows will be
realized. As a result, impairment charges that possibly should
have been recognized in earlier periods may not be recognized
until later periods if actual cash flows deviate unfavorably
from earlier estimates. For assets held for sale or disposal,
the fair value of the asset is measured using quoted market
prices or an estimation of net realizable value. Based on
general economic conditions and conditions specific to our
industry, the ultimate amounts realized on assets held for sale
may differ materially from their currently estimated realizable
values.

From time to time, contingencies, such as insurance and legal
claims, arise in the normal course of business. Pursuant to
current accounting standards, we must evaluate such
contingencies to subjectively determine the likelihood that an
asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the
date of the financial statements, as well as evaluating whether
the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the
likelihood is determined to be probable and it can be reasonably
estimated, the estimated loss is recorded. The amounts we record
for insurance claims, warranties, legal and other contingent
liabilities require judgments regarding the amount of expenses
that will ultimately be incurred. We use past experience and
history, as well as the specific circumstances surrounding each
contingent liability, in evaluating the amount of liability that
should be recorded. Actual results could differ from our
estimates.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the
tax basis of assets and liabilities. Developing our provision
for income taxes requires significant judgment and expertise in
federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies,
including the determination of deferred tax assets and
liabilities and, if necessary, any valuation allowances that may
be required for deferred tax assets. We have not recorded any
other valuation allowances as of October&nbsp;31, 2005 because
we believe that future taxable income will, more likely than
not, be sufficient to realize the benefits of those assets as
the temporary differences in basis reverse over time. Our
judgments and tax strategies are subject to audit by various
taxing authorities.

SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;133, <I>&#147;Accounting for Derivative

interpreted, requires that each derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be

and measured at its fair value. The statement also requires that
changes in the derivative&#146;s fair value be recognized

On July&nbsp;14, 2005, we entered into a forward foreign
exchange contract with a notional amount of 2.1&nbsp;million
Canadian Dollars maturing on December&nbsp;23, 2005. This
foreign currency derivative qualifies for and is classified as a
fair value hedge. The purpose of our foreign currency hedging
activities is to protect us from the risk that the eventual cash
flows resulting from transactions in foreign currencies will be
adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Changes in fair
values of outstanding fair value hedge derivatives that are
effective are recorded in other comprehensive income, until net
income is affected by the variability of cash flows of the
hedged transaction. In most cases, amounts recorded in other
comprehensive income will be released to net income sometime
after the maturity of the related derivative. Gains and losses
on these contracts are deferred and recognized as adjustments to
either the basis of those assets or foreign exchange
gains/losses, as applicable. At October&nbsp;31, 2005, the fair
value of the forward swap contract resulted in an unrealized
loss of approximately $44,000. This contract matured on
December&nbsp;23, 2005, resulting in a realized foreign exchange
loss of $65,000.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(&#147;FASB&#148;) issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004),
<I>&#147;Share-Based Payment&#148;</I> (&#147;123(R)&#148;),
which is a revision of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123,
<I>&#147;Accounting for Stock Based Compensation&#148;</I> which
requires companies to measure all employee stock-based
compensation awards using a fair value method and record such
expense in their consolidated financial statements. The
provisions of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) are effective for the
first annual reporting period that begins after June&nbsp;15,
2005. We will adopt this standard at the beginning of fiscal
2006 and will elect the modified-prospective transition method.
Under the modified-prospective method, awards that are granted,
modified, repurchased or canceled after the date of adoption
should be measured and accounted for in accordance with
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R). Awards that are granted prior to the
effective date should continue to be accounted for in accordance
with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123, except that stock option expense
for unvested options must be recognized in the income statement.
The impact of adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) cannot be
predicted at this time because it will depend on, among other
things, levels of share-based payments granted in the future,
the market value of our common stock as well as assumptions
regarding a number of complex variables. These variables
include, but are not limited to, our stock price, volatility,
and employee stock option exercise behaviors and the related tax
impact. However, had we adopted SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) in
prior periods, we believe the impact of that standard would have
approximated the impact of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123 as described
in the section in Note&nbsp;D to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements titled <I>&#147;Stock-Based
Compensation&#148;</I> disclosure of pro forma net income and

We are subject to market risk resulting from changes in interest
rates related to our outstanding debt and investments in
marketable debt securities. Regarding our various debt
instruments outstanding at October&nbsp;31, 2005, a
100&nbsp;basis point increase in interest rates would result in
a total annual increase in interest expense of approximately
$200,000. Our investments in marketable debt securities are
carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with
unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive
income. Changes in interest rates will affect the fair value of
the marketable securities as reported. While we do not currently
have any derivative contracts to hedge our exposure to interest
rate risk, we have in the past and may in the future enter into
such contracts. Overall, we believe that changes in interest
rates will not have a material near-term impact on our future
earnings or cash flows. During each of the past three years, we
have not experienced a significant effect on our business due to
changes in interest rates.

Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated into
U.S.&nbsp;Dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of
the fiscal year. The resulting translation adjustments are
recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income, a component
of stockholders&#146; equity, in our consolidated balance
sheets. We believe the exposure to the effects that fluctuating
foreign currencies have on our consolidated results of
operations is limited because the foreign operations primarily
invoice customers and collect obligations in their respective
currencies or U.S.&nbsp;Dollars. Additionally, expenses
associated with these transactions are generally contracted and
paid for in the same local currencies.

On July&nbsp;14, 2005, we entered into a forward foreign
exchange contract with a notional amount of 2.1&nbsp;million
Canadian Dollars to mature on December&nbsp;23, 2005. This
foreign currency derivative qualifies for and is classified as a
foreign currency fair value hedge. The purpose of our foreign
currency hedging activities is to protect us from the risk that
the eventual cash flows resulting from transactions in foreign
currencies will be adversely affected by changes in exchange
rates. Changes in fair values of outstanding fair value hedge
derivatives that are highly effective are recorded in other
comprehensive income, until net income is affected by the
variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. In most
cases, amounts recorded in other comprehensive income will be
released to net income sometime after the maturity of the
related derivative. Gains and losses on these contracts are
deferred and recognized as adjustments to either the basis of
those assets or foreign exchange gains/ losses, as applicable.
At October&nbsp;31, 2005, the fair value of the forward swap
contract resulted in an unrealized loss of approximately
$44,000. This contract matured on December&nbsp;23, 2005
resulting in a realized foreign exchange loss of approximately
$65,000.

We are subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices of
certain raw materials. While such materials are typically
available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials are
subject to price fluctuations. We attempt to pass along such
commodity price increases to our customers on a
contract-by-contract basis to avoid profit margin erosion. While
we may do so in the future, we have not entered into any
derivative contracts to hedge our exposure to commodity risk in
fiscal 2005. We continue to experience price increases with some
of our key raw materials. Competitive market pressures limited
our ability to pass these cost increases to our customers, thus
eroding our earnings in fiscal 2005. Fluctuations in commodity
prices may have a material near-term effect on our future
earnings and cash flows.

We have completed an integrated audit of Powell Industries,
Inc.&#146;s 2005 consolidated financial statements and of its
internal control over financial reporting as of October&nbsp;31,
2005 and an audit of its 2004 consolidated financial statements
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based
on our audits, are presented below.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in
the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Powell Industries, Inc. and its
subsidiaries at October&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2004, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 of financial statements
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

Also, in our opinion, management&#146;s assessment, included in
Management&#146;s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting appearing under Item&nbsp;9A, that the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of October&nbsp;31, 2005 based on criteria established in
<I>Internal Control&nbsp;&#151; Integrated Framework </I>issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects,
based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of October&nbsp;31, 2005,
based on criteria established in <I>Internal Control&nbsp;&#151;
Integrated Framework</I> issued by the COSO. The Company&#146;s
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on management&#146;s
assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We
conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An
audit of internal control over financial reporting includes
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, evaluating management&#146;s assessment, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control, and performing such other procedures as we consider
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company&#146;s
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (i)&nbsp;pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (ii)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (iii)&nbsp;provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in Management&#146;s Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded
Switchgear&nbsp;&#38; Instrumentation Limited and
Switchgear&nbsp;&#38; Instrumentation Properties Limited from
its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as
of October&nbsp;31, 2005 because it was acquired by the Company
in a purchase business combination during the year ended
October&nbsp;31, 2005. We have also excluded
Switchgear&nbsp;&#38; Instrumentation Limited and
Switchgear&nbsp;&#38; Instrumentation Properties Limited from

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying footnotes. The amounts we record for
insurance claims, warranties, legal and other contingent
liabilities require judgments regarding the amount of expenses
that will ultimately be incurred. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions, as well
as the specific circumstances surrounding these contingent
liabilities in evaluating the amount of liability that should be
recorded. Estimates may change as new events occur, additional
information becomes available or operating environments change.
Actual results may differ from our estimates. The most
significant estimates used in the Company&#146;s financial
statements affect revenue and cost recognition for construction
contracts, the allowance for doubtful accounts, self-insurance,
warranty accruals, and postretirement benefit obligations.

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful
accounts. We maintain and continually assess the adequacy of the
allowance for doubtful accounts representing our estimate for
losses resulting from the inability of our customers to pay
amounts due to us. This estimated allowance is based on
historical experience of uncollected accounts, the level of past
due accounts, the overall level of outstanding accounts
receivable, information about specific customers with respect to
their inability to make payments and expectations of future
conditions that could impact the collectibility of accounts
receivable. Future changes in our customers&#146; operating
performance and cash flows or in general economic conditions
could have an impact on their ability to fully pay these
amounts, which could have a material impact on our operating
results. In most cases, receivables are not collateralized.
However, we utilize letters of credit to secure payment on sales
when possible. At October&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2004, accounts
receivable included retention amounts of $5.4&nbsp;million and
$7.5&nbsp;million, respectively. Retention amounts are in
accordance with applicable provisions of engineering and
construction contracts and become due upon completion of
contractual requirements. Approximately $0.5&nbsp;million of the
retained amount at October&nbsp;31, 2005, is expected to be
collected subsequent to October&nbsp;31, 2006. No customers
accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated accounts
receivable balances as of fiscal year ends 2005 and 2004.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts also include certain costs associated with
unapproved change orders. These costs are included when change
order approval is probable. Amounts are carried at the lower of
cost or net realizable value. No profit is recognized on costs
incurred until change order approval is obtained. We also
include claims for extra work or changes in scope of work to the
extent of costs incurred in contract revenues when we believe
collection is probable. The amounts recorded involve the use of
judgments and estimates; thus, actual recoverable amounts could
differ from original assumptions. See Note&nbsp;K&nbsp;&#151;
Commitments and Contingencies for a discussion related to
certain costs recorded in costs and estimated earnings in excess

We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of
long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully
recoverable. The review for impairment of long-lived assets and
goodwill takes into account estimates of future cash flows. Our
estimates of future cash flows are based upon budgets and
longer-range plans. These budgets and plans are used for
internal purposes and are also the basis for communication with
outside parties about future business trends. While we believe
the assumptions we use to estimate future cash flows are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that the expected future
cash flows will be realized. As a result, impairment charges
that possibly should have been recognized in earlier periods may
not be recognized until later periods if actual cash flows
deviate unfavorably from earlier estimates. For assets held for
sale or disposal, the fair value of the asset is measured using
quoted market prices or an estimation of net realizable value.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the
tax basis of assets and liabilities. Developing our provision
for income taxes requires significant judgment and expertise in
federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies,
including the determination of deferred tax assets and
liabilities and, if necessary, any valuation allowances that may
be required for deferred tax assets. We have not recorded any
other valuation allowances as of October&nbsp;31, 2005 because
we believe that future taxable income will, more likely than
not, be sufficient to realize the benefits of those assets as
the temporary differences in basis reverse over time. Our
judgments and tax strategies are subject to audit by various
taxing authorities.

Under the
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">percentage-of</FONT>-completion
method of accounting, revenues are recognized as work is
performed based on the estimated completion to date calculated
by multiplying the total contract price by percentage of
performance to date, based on total labor dollars or hours
incurred to date to the total estimated labor dollars or hours
estimated at completion. Application of the
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">percentage-of</FONT>-completion
method of accounting requires the use of estimates of costs to
be incurred for the performance of the contract. Contract costs
include all direct material, direct labor costs and those
indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect
labor, supplies, tools, repairs and all costs associated with
operation of equipment (excluding depreciation). The cost
estimation process is based upon the professional knowledge and
experience of the Company&#146;s engineers, project managers,
and financial professionals. Factors that are considered in
estimating the work to be completed and ultimate contract
recovery include the availability and productivity of labor, the
nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the effect of
change orders, the availability of materials, the effect of any
delays in performance and the recoverability of any claims.
Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated
profitability and final contract settlements may result in
revisions to costs and income, and their effects are recognized
in the period in which the revisions are determined. Whenever
revisions of estimated contract costs and contract values
indicate that the contract costs will exceed estimated revenues,
thus creating a loss, a provision for the total estimated loss
is recorded in that period.

<I>&#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,&#148;</I> we
have elected to account for our stock-based employee
compensation plans under the intrinsic value method established
by Accounting Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion
No.&nbsp;25, <I>&#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees.&#148;</I> Under APB No.&nbsp;25, no compensation
expense is recorded when the exercise price of the employee
stock option is greater than or equal to the market price of the
common stock on the grant date.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(&#147;FASB&#148;) issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) which
requires companies to measure all employee stock-based
compensation awards using a fair value method and record such
expense in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements.
The provisions of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) are effective for
the first annual reporting period that begins after
June&nbsp;15, 2005. The Company will adopt this standard at the
beginning of fiscal 2006 and will elect the modified-prospective
transition method. Under the modified-prospective method, awards
that are granted, modified, repurchased or canceled after the
date of adoption should be measured and accounted for in
accordance with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R). Awards that are
granted prior to the effective date should continue to be
accounted for in accordance with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123 except
that stock option expense for unvested options must be
recognized in the income statement. The impact of adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) cannot be predicted at this time
because it will depend on, among other things, levels of
share-based payments granted in the future, the market value of
the Company&#146;s common stock as well as assumptions regarding
a number of complex variables. These variables include, but are
not limited to, the Company&#146;s stock price, volatility, and
employee stock option exercise behaviors and the related tax
impact. However, had the Company adopted
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) in prior periods, the Company believes
the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact
of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123 as described in the above
<I>&#147;Stock-Based Employee Compensation&#148;</I> disclosure
of pro forma net income and earnings per share.

If compensation expense for our stock option plans had been

SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;133, <I>&#147;Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities,&#148;</I> as amended and
interpreted, requires that each derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be

changes in the derivative&#146;s fair value be recognized

operations or accumulated other comprehensive income (loss),

accounting treatment.

On July&nbsp;14, 2005, the Company entered into a forward
foreign exchange contract with a notional amount of
2.1&nbsp;million Canadian Dollars maturing on December&nbsp;23,
2005. This foreign currency derivative qualifies for and is
classified as a fair value hedge. The purpose of the
Company&#146;s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect
the Company from the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting
from transactions in foreign currencies will be adversely
affected by changes in exchange rates. Changes in fair values of
outstanding fair value hedge derivatives that are effective are
recorded in other comprehensive income, until net income is
affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged
transaction. In most cases, amounts recorded in other
comprehensive income will be released to net income some time
after the maturity of the related derivative. Gains and losses
on these contracts are deferred and recognized as adjustments to
either the basis of those assets or foreign exchange gains/
losses, as applicable. At October&nbsp;31, 2005, the fair value
of the forward swap

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company determined that
certain investments in auction rate securities did not meet the
definition of cash equivalents. Accordingly, $50.3&nbsp;million
was reclassified at October&nbsp;31, 2004 from cash and cash
equivalents to marketable securities in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Additionally, cash flow activity from purchases of and
proceeds from auction rate securities were included in the
consolidated statements of cash flow for the fiscal years ended
October&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003.

In October 2004, the President of the United States signed into
law the American Jobs Creation Act (the AJC Act). The AJC Act
allows for a federal income tax deduction for a percentage of
income earned from certain domestic production activities. The
Company&#146;s U.S.&nbsp;production activities will qualify for
the deduction. Based on the effective date of this provision of
the AJC Act, the Company will be eligible for this deduction
beginning in fiscal 2006. Additionally, in December 2004, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued
FASB Staff
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Position&nbsp;109-1,</FONT>
&#147;Application of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109, <I>Accounting

<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">FSP&nbsp;109-1,</FONT> which
was effective upon issuance, requires the Company to treat the
tax deduction as a special deduction instead of a change in tax
rate that would have impacted the existing deferred tax

special deduction but expects that it will reduce the
Company&#146;s effective tax rate in fiscal 2006.

<I>&#147;Inventory Costs,&#148;</I> an Amendment of ARB
No.&nbsp;43, Chapter&nbsp;4 (SFAS&nbsp;151), which adopts
wording from the IASB&#146;s International Accounting Standard,
<I>&#147;Inventories,&#148;</I> in an effort to improve the
comparability of cross-border financial reporting. The new
standard indicates that abnormal freight, handling costs and
wasted materials are required to be treated as current period
charges rather than as a portion of inventory costs.
Additionally, the standard clarifies that fixed production
overhead should be allocated based on the normal capacity of a
production facility. SFAS&nbsp;151 is

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R)
<I>&#147;Share-Based Payment,&#148;</I> which requires companies
to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a
fair value method and record such expense in the Company&#146;s
consolidated financial statements. The provisions of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) are effective for the first annual
reporting period that begins after June&nbsp;15, 2005. The
Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of fiscal 2006
and will elect the modified-prospective transition method. Under
the modified-prospective method, awards that are granted,
modified, repurchased, or canceled after the date of adoption
should be measured and accounted for in accordance with
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R). Awards that are granted prior to the
effective date should continue to be accounted for in accordance
with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123 except that stock option expense for
unvested options must be recognized in the income statement. The
impact of adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) cannot be
predicted at this time because it will depend on, among other
things, levels of share-based payments granted in the future,
the market value of the Company&#146;s common stock as well as
assumptions regarding a number of complex variables. These
variables include, but are not limited to, the Company&#146;s
stock price, volatility, and employee stock option exercise
behaviors and the related tax impact. However, had the Company
adopted SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) in prior periods, the Company
believes the impact of that standard would have approximated the
impact of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123 as described in the above
<I>&#147;Stock-Based Employee Compensation&#148;</I> disclosure
of pro forma net income and earnings per share.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153,
<I>&#147;Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of APB
Opinion No.&nbsp;29, Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions&#148;</I> (SFAS&nbsp;153), as part of its
short-term international convergence project with the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Under
SFAS&nbsp;153, nonmonetary exchanges are required to be
accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gains or losses, if
their fair value is determinable within reasonable limits and
the transaction has commercial substance. SFAS&nbsp;153 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005.
The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;153 to
have a material impact on the consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No.&nbsp;47,
<I>&#147;Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
Obligations&#148;</I> (FIN&nbsp;47) which is effective for
fiscal years ending after December&nbsp;15, 2005 and is an
interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;143,
<I>&#147;Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.&#148;</I>
FIN&nbsp;47 requires recognition of a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated.
The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN&nbsp;47 to have
a material impact on the consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154,
<I>&#147;Accounting Changes and Error Corrections&#148;</I>
(SFAS&nbsp;154), which replaces Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No.&nbsp;20 <I>&#147;Accounting Changes&#148;</I> and
FASB Statement No.&nbsp;3, <I>&#147;Reporting Accounting Changes
in Interim Financial Statements.&#148;</I> SFAS&nbsp;154 is
effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made
in fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2005, and
requires retrospective application to prior period financial
statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle, unless
it is impractical to determine either the period-specific
effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows will
only be impacted by SFAS&nbsp;154 if the Company implements a
voluntary change in accounting principle or correct accounting
errors in future periods.

Prior to the acquisition by Powell, S&#38;I operating results
were reported under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United Kingdom (&#147;UK GAAP&#148;). Revenues and costs
related to long-term contracts accounted for under UK GAAP were
not recognized on a
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">percentage-of</FONT>-completion
basis of accounting. UK GAAP allows companies to recognize
revenue on long-term contracts when the contract is complete
(completed contract method). The unaudited pro forma results
above were prepared based on the Company&#146;s best estimate of

The 1992 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the &#147;1992
Plan&#148;), permits the Company to grant to key employees
non-qualified options and stock grants, subject to certain
conditions and restrictions as determined by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors and proportionate
adjustments in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and
similar corporate transactions. At the April&nbsp;15, 2005
Annual Meeting, stockholders approved an amendment to the 1992
Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance
under the plan from 2.1&nbsp;million shares to 2.7&nbsp;million
shares. There were no stock grants during fiscal 2005, 2004, and
2003. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the
grant. Generally, options granted have an expiration date of
seven years from the grant date and vest in increments of
20%&nbsp;per year over a five-year period. Pursuant to the 1992
Plan, option holders who exercise their options and hold the
underlying shares of common stock for five years, vest in a
stock grant equal to 20% of the original option shares. While
restricted until the expiration of five years, the stock grant
is considered issued at the date of the stock option exercise
and is included in earnings per share. There were
0.5&nbsp;million shares available to be granted under this plan
as of October&nbsp;31, 2005.

The 2000 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended, was adopted
for the benefit of members of the Board of Directors of the
Company who, at the time of their service, are not employees of
the Company or any of its affiliates. Annually, each eligible
Director who is continuing to serve as a Director, will receive
a grant of an option to purchase 2,000&nbsp;shares of our common
stock. The total number of shares of our common stock available
under this plan was 33,000 as of October&nbsp;31, 2005. Stock
options granted to the Directors are non-qualified and are
granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
the common stock at the date of grant. Generally, options
granted have expiration terms of seven years from the date of
grant and will vest in full one year from the grant date. There
are no further grants anticipated to be awarded under this plan.

The Company&#146;s stockholders voted at the April&nbsp;15, 2005
meeting to approve the Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock
Plan (the &#147;Restricted Stock Plan&#148;) for the benefit of
members of the Board of Directors of the Company who, at the
time of their service, are not employees of the Company or any
of its affiliates. Subject to certain conditions and
restrictions as determined by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors and proportionate adjustments in the event of
stock dividends, stock splits and similar corporate
transactions, annually each eligible director will receive
2,000&nbsp;shares of restricted stock on the date of the June
Board of Directors meeting. The maximum aggregate number of
shares of stock that may be issued under the Restricted Stock
Plan is 150,000 and will consist of authorized but unissued or
reacquired shares of stock or any combination thereof. The
restricted stock grants vest 50&nbsp;percent per year over a two
year period on each anniversary of the grant date. Unless sooner
terminated by the Board, the Restricted Stock Plan will
terminate at the close of business on December&nbsp;16, 2014,
and no further grants shall be made under the plan after such
date. Awards granted before such date shall continue to be
subject to the terms and conditions of the plan and the
respective agreements pursuant to which they were granted. On
June&nbsp;10, 2005, Directors of the Company were granted a
total of 12,000&nbsp;shares of restricted stock. The total
number of shares of common stock available under the Plan was
138,000 as of October&nbsp;31, 2005.

We have a defined employee contribution 401(k) plan for
substantially all of our employees. We match 50% of employee
contributions up to an employee contribution of six percent of
each employee&#146;s salary. We recognized expenses of
$1.3&nbsp;million, $1.2&nbsp;million and $1.4&nbsp;million in
fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, under this plan.

We have established an employee stock ownership plan
(&#147;ESOP&#148;) for the benefit of substantially all
full-time employees other than employees covered by a collective
bargaining agreement to which the ESOP has not been extended by
any agreement or action of ours. The ESOP initially purchased
793,525&nbsp;shares of the Company&#146;s common stock from a
major stockholder. At October&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2004, there were
581,274 and 606,912&nbsp;shares in the trust with 395,083 and
375,858&nbsp;shares allocated to participants, respectively. The
funding for this plan was provided through a loan from the
Company of $4.5&nbsp;million. This loan will be repaid by the
ESOP over a twenty-year period with equal payments of
$424,000&nbsp;per year, including interest at seven percent. We
recorded deferred compensation as a contra-equity account for
the amount loaned to the ESOP in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets. We are required to make annual contributions to
the ESOP to enable it to repay its loan to us. The deferred
compensation account is amortized as compensation expense over
twenty years as employees earn their shares for services
rendered. The loan agreement also provides for prepayment of the
loan if we elect to make any additional contributions.
Compensation expense for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 was
$317,000, $297,000, and $277,000, respectively and interest
income for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $107,000,
$128,000, and $148,000, respectively. The receivable from the
ESOP is recorded as a reduction from stockholders&#146; equity
and the allocated and unallocated shares of the ESOP are treated
as outstanding common stock in the computation of earnings per
share. As of October&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2004, the remaining ESOP
receivable was $1.2&nbsp;million and $1.5&nbsp;million,
respectively.

In October 1985 and February 1987, we entered into Executive
Benefit Agreements with certain key officers and employees.
Three participants remain in this plan, which provides for
payments in accordance with a predetermined plan upon retirement
or death. We recognize the cost of this plan over the projected
years of service of the participant. We have insured the lives
of these key employees to assist in the funding of the deferred
compensation liability.

In November 1992, we established a plan to extend to retirees
health benefits which are available to active employees under
our existing health plans. Participants became eligible for
retiree health care benefits when they retired from active
service at age&nbsp;55 with a minimum of ten years of service.
Generally, the health plans paid a stated percentage of medical
and dental expenses reduced for any deductible and co-payment.
These plans are unfunded. Medical coverage may be continued by
the retired employee up to age&nbsp;65 at the average cost to
the Company of active employees. At the age of 65, when the
employee became eligible for Medicare, the benefits provided by
the Company were to be reduced by the amount provided by
Medicare and the cost to the retired employee would be reduced
to 50&nbsp;percent of the average cost to the Company of active
employees.

In 1994, we modified our postretirement benefits to provide
retiree health care benefits to only current retirees and active
employees who were eligible to retire by December&nbsp;31, 1999.
Participants eligible for such benefits were required to pay
between 20% and 100% of our average cost of benefits based on
years of service. In addition, benefits would end upon the

The plan was amended effective January&nbsp;1, 2000 to provide
coverage for employees, age&nbsp;55 or more but less than 65,
who retire on or after January&nbsp;1, 2000 with at least
10&nbsp;years of service. The retiree is required to pay the
full retiree cost less the amount paid by the Company, which is
a percentage of the year 2000 cost. Effective as of the
November&nbsp;1, 2002 valuation date, retirees are required to
pay the COBRA rate, instead of the full retiree cost, less the
Company&#146;s subsidy.

It is assumed that 40% of employees who are eligible will elect
medical coverage, decreasing to 20% in 2015. The assumed health
care cost trend measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 10% at the beginning of fiscal year 2005. This
trend is expected to grade down to 5% in fiscal year 2010. If
the health care trend rate assumptions were increased or
decreased by 1% as of October&nbsp;31, 2005, the effect of this
change on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
would be approximately $47,000. The effect on the aggregate
service and interest cost components of the net periodic
postretirement benefit cost from a 1% increase or decrease would
be approximately $11,000. Net periodic postretirement benefit
expense for fiscal 2005 was calculated using a discount rate of
5.75%.

Statement of Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;106,
<I>&#147;Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions,&#148;</I> requires employers to select a discount
rate assumption to determine the present value of benefits under
their benefits plans. The methodology to select the discount
rate was determined to reflect the time value of money as of the
measurement date of the benefit obligation and reflect the rates
of return currently available on high quality fixed income
securities whose cash flows match the timing and amount of
benefit payments of the plan underlying the obligation. A bond
matching exercise was performed to match the expected benefit
payments with expected bond maturities as of September&nbsp;30,
2005 and adjusted to October&nbsp;31, 2005 using the relative
changes in the indices.

On June&nbsp;29, 2005, we entered into a new senior credit
agreement (&#147;Credit Agreement&#148;) with a major domestic
bank and certain other financial institutions which replaced our
existing revolving line of credit. The Credit Agreement also
replaces an existing letter of credit facility used to guarantee
payment of our existing loan agreement that was funded with
proceeds from tax-exempt industrial development revenue bonds.
This expanded credit facility was put in place to partially fund
the acquisition of and provide working capital support for
S&#38;I.

The Credit Agreement provides for a 1)&nbsp;$22&nbsp;million
revolving credit facility (&#147;US Revolver&#148;),
2)&nbsp;&#163;4&nbsp;million (pound sterling) (approximately
$7.0&nbsp;million) revolving credit facility (&#147;UK
Revolver&#148;) and 3)&nbsp;&#163;6&nbsp;million (approximately
$10.6&nbsp;million) single advance term loan (&#147;UK Term

Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants
and restricts our ability to pay dividends. The most restrictive
covenant requires the Company to achieve certain operating
results, as defined. Obligations are secured by the stock of our
subsidiaries. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under
the Credit Agreement is a floating rate based upon LIBOR plus a
margin which can range from 1.25% to 2.25%, as determined by the
Company&#146;s consolidated leverage ratio as defined within the
Credit Agreement.

The US Revolver and the UK Revolver provide for the issuance of
letters of credit which would reduce the amounts which may be
borrowed under the respective revolvers. The amount available
under this agreement is reduced by $12.2&nbsp;million for our
outstanding letters of credit at October&nbsp;31, 2005. There
was &#163;2.4&nbsp;million, or approximately $4.3&nbsp;million,
outstanding under the UK&nbsp;revolver as of October&nbsp;31,
2005. No amounts were borrowed on the US&nbsp;Revolver. The
US&nbsp;Revolver and the UK&nbsp;Revolver expire on
June&nbsp;30, 2008.

The UK Term Loan provides for borrowings of
&#163;6&nbsp;million, or approximately $10.7&nbsp;million, for
our financing requirements related to the acquisition of
S&#38;I. Approximately &#163;5&nbsp;million, or approximately
$8.9&nbsp;million, of this facility was used to finance the
portion of the purchase price of S&#38;I that was denominated in
pounds sterling. The remaining &#163;1&nbsp;million, or
approximately $1.8&nbsp;million, was utilized as the initial
working capital for S&#38;I. Quarterly installments of
&#163;300,000, or approximately $532,000, are due beginning
March&nbsp;31, 2006 with the final payment due on March&nbsp;31,
2010. As of October&nbsp;31, 2005, the full amount of the
UK&nbsp;Term Loan was outstanding.

Expenses associated with the issuance of the Credit Agreement
are classified as deferred loan costs and totaled $501,000 and
are being amortized as a non-cash charge to interest expense
over the term of the agreement (three years). See Note&nbsp;J.

We borrowed $8.0&nbsp;million in October 2001 through a loan
agreement funded with proceeds from tax-exempt industrial
development revenue bonds (&#147;Bonds&#148;). These Bonds were
issued by the Illinois Development Finance Authority and were
used for the completion of our Northlake, Illinois, facility.
Pursuant to the Bond issuance, a reimbursement agreement between
the Company and a major domestic bank required an issuance by
the bank of an irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit
(&#147;Bond LC&#148;) to the Bonds&#146; trustee to guarantee
payment of the Bonds&#146; principal and interest when due. The
Bond LC periodically changes in amount to equal the outstanding
balance of the Bonds and terminates on October&nbsp;25, 2006.
The Bond LC is subject to both early termination and extension
provisions customary to such agreements. While the Bonds mature
in 2021, the reimbursement agreement requires annual redemptions
of $400,000 commenced on October&nbsp;25, 2002. A sinking fund
is used for the redemption of the Bonds. The Bonds bear interest
at a floating rate determined weekly by the Bonds&#146;
remarketing agent, which was the underwriter for the Bonds and
is an affiliate of the bank. This interest rate was
2.8%&nbsp;per annum on October&nbsp;31, 2005.

Some machinery and equipment used in our manufacturing
facilities were financed through capital lease agreements. These
capital lease agreements are collateralized by the leased
property. The capital lease obligations are at a fixed interest
rate of 3%.

Our (benefit) provision for income taxes reflects an effective

compared to 33% in fiscal 2005 and 45% in fiscal 2003. During

The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes on the
undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries because of
management&#146;s intent to indefinitely reinvest such earnings.
Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or
otherwise, the Company may be subject to U.S.&nbsp;income taxes
and foreign withholding taxes. It is not practical, however, to
estimate the amount of taxes that may be payable on the eventual
remittance of these earnings.

Our intangible assets consist of (1)&nbsp;goodwill which is not
being amortized; (2)&nbsp;patents, trademarks, tradenames, and
purchased technologies which are amortized over their estimated
useful lives; and (3)&nbsp;contract costs related to backlog
acquired in the S&#38;I acquisition which is being amortized
over the estimated life of the acquired contracts. We account
for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;142, <I>&#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.&#148;</I> Under the new rules, goodwill and other
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer
subject to amortization. As a result, we discontinued the
amortization of goodwill beginning November&nbsp;1, 2002. The
statement requires a test for impairment of goodwill to be
performed annually, or immediately if conditions indicate that
impairment could exist. Intangible assets with definite useful
lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful
lives.

Upon adoption, we estimated the fair value of our reporting
units using a present value method that discounted estimated
future cash flows. The cash flow estimates incorporated
assumptions on future cash flow growth, terminal values and
discount rates. Because the fair value of some reporting units
was below their carrying value, application of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;142 required us to complete the second step
of the goodwill impairment test and compare the implied fair
value of each reporting unit&#146;s goodwill with the carrying
value. As a result of completing the impairment test, we
recorded an impairment charge of $510,000, net of $285,000
taxes, to write off the impaired goodwill amounts as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
first quarter of 2003. We recorded an impairment charge of
$380,000, net of $214,000 taxes, to write off the full value of
goodwill in our Process Control Systems segment. In our
Electrical Power Products segment, we recorded an impairment
charge of $130,000, net of $71,000 taxes. All remaining goodwill
is in our Electrical Power Products segment. No additional
impairment was identified as a result of performing our annual
impairment test for 2005, 2004 or 2003.

Deferred loan costs are included in other assets on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The increase in deferred loan costs
is associated with our new credit agreement as described in
Note&nbsp;H. In connection with the acquisition of S&#38;I, a
portion of the purchase price was allocated to tradenames and
unpatented technology based upon an independent appraisal.
Additionally, a portion of the purchase price of S&#38;I was
assigned to contract costs associated with the backlog as they
were incurred prior to the acquisition. Amortization expense
related to intangible assets subject to amortization was
approximately $643,000, $70,000 and $72,000, respectively, for
the three years ended October&nbsp;31, 2005. Estimated
amortization expense for each of the subsequent five fiscal
years is expected to be approximately $686,000, $471,00,
$471,000, $440,000, and $415,000.

Certain customers require us to post a bank letter of credit
guarantee or performance bonds issued by a surety. These
guarantees and performance bonds assure our customers that we
will perform under terms of our contract and with associated
vendors and subcontractors. In the event of default, the
customer may demand payment from the bank under a letter of
credit or performance by the surety under a performance bond. To
date, there have been no significant expenses related to either
for the periods reported. We were contingently liable for
secured and unsecured letters of credit of $12.6&nbsp;million as
of October&nbsp;31, 2005. We also had performance bonds totaling
approximately $176.5&nbsp;million that were outstanding at

The Company was a party to a construction joint venture (the
&#147;Joint Venture&#148;), which provided process control
systems to the Central Artery/ Tunnel Project (the
&#147;Project&#148;) in Boston, Massachusetts under a contract
with the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (the &#147;MTA&#148;).
The Joint Venture submitted claims against the MTA seeking
additional reimbursement for work done by the Joint Venture on
the project. In a separate matter, the Joint Venture received
notice dated May&nbsp;9, 2002 (the &#147;Notice&#148;) from the
MTA that a follow-on contractor has asserted a claim against the
MTA in connection with work done or to be done by the follow-on
contractor on the project. One component of the Project involved
the Joint Venture performing specific work that the MTA then bid
for the follow-on contractor to complete. The follow-on
contractor&#146;s claim, in part, included allegations that work
performed by the Joint Venture was insufficient and defective,
thus possibly contributing to the follow-on contractor&#146;s
claims for damages against the MTA. In the Notice of the
potential claim, the MTA advised the Joint Venture that if it is
required to pay the follow-on contractor additional amounts and
such payment is the result of defective work by the Joint
Venture, the MTA would seek indemnification from the Joint
Venture for such additional amounts.

This claim, as well as the follow-on contractor&#146;s claim,
and MTA&#146;s potential indemnity claim against the Joint
Venture were resolved and appropriate contract modifications
were agreed upon. This settlement resulted in a net increase in
the contract amount of approximately $2.0&nbsp;million, of which
approximately $1.7&nbsp;million was reflected as additional

In addition to the MTA matter discussed above, the Company
previously entered into a construction joint venture agreement
to supply, install and commission a Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition System (&#147;SCADA&#148;) to monitor and control
the distribution and delivery of fresh water to the City of
San&nbsp;Francisco Public Utility Commission
(&#147;Commission&#148;). The project was substantially
completed and has been performing to the satisfaction of the
Commission. However, various factors outside of the control of
the Company and its joint venture partner caused numerous
changes and additions to the work that in turn delayed the
completion of the project. The Commission has withheld
liquidated damages and earned contract payments from the joint
venture. The Company has made claims against the Commission for
various matters including compensation for extra work and delay
to the project.

The Company is currently pursuing the recovery of amounts owed
under the contract, as well as legal and other costs incurred to
defend its claim. Unless this matter is otherwise resolved, this
claim is scheduled to go to trial in the first half of 2006. As
of October&nbsp;31, 2005, the Company had approximately
$1.4&nbsp;million recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for
contractually owed amounts in accounts receivable and costs and

estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts related to its portion of this contract. Consistent
with Company policy, only costs of directed change orders have
been recorded by the Company. During the last two fiscal years,
the Company&#146;s gross profit has been reduced by
approximately $2.9&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 and
$0.9&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004 related to direct costs,
including legal fees, related to this dispute. No amounts have
been recorded by the Company related to the Company&#146;s
claims and counterclaims alleging breach of the agreement.
Although a failure to recover the amounts recorded could have a
material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s results of
operations, the Company believes that, under the circumstances
and on the basis of information now available, an unfavorable
outcome is unlikely.

We manage our business through operating subsidiaries, which are
comprised of two reportable business segments: Electrical Power
Products and Process Control Systems. Electrical Power Products
includes equipment and systems for the distribution and control
of electrical energy. Process Control Systems consists
principally of instrumentation, computer controls,
communications and data management systems to control and manage
critical processes.

On July&nbsp;4, 2005, we acquired selected assets and assumed
certain operating liabilities and contracts of
Switchgear&nbsp;&#38; Instrumentation Limited in the United
Kingdom. We refer to the acquired business herein as
&#147;S&#38;I.&#148; The operating results and tangible assets
of S&#38;I are included in our Electrical Power Products
business segment as of that date.

The tables below reflect certain information relating to our
operations by segment. All revenues represent sales from
unaffiliated customers. The accounting policies of the segments
are the same as those described in the summary of significant
accounting policies. Corporate expenses and certain assets are
allocated to the operating segments primarily based on revenues.
The corporate assets are mainly cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities.

To reduce overhead costs and improve efficiency, we initiated a
consolidation plan in fiscal 2004 to reduce the number of
operating locations within our Electrical Power Products
segment. The majority of our consolidation changes related to
severance and employee benefit expenses for involuntary
terminations in 2004. Consolidation costs of $1.8&nbsp;million
and $0.4&nbsp;million were recorded in cost of sales and selling
general and administrative expenses for the year ended
October&nbsp;31, 2004. As of June&nbsp;30, 2004, the
consolidation of our Greenville, Texas, facility into our North
Canton, Ohio facility was completed, resulting in the transfer

Directors of the Company resolved that effective

On May&nbsp;7, 2004, the Audit Committee of our Board of
Directors dismissed Deloitte&nbsp;&#38; Touche, LLP
(&#147;Deloitte&#148;) as our independent public accountants.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Deloitte&#146;s report on our financial statements for the
fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2003 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.

During our fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2003, and the
subsequent interim period preceding the decision to change
independent public accountants, there were no disagreements with
Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure
which, if not resolved to Deloitte&#146;s satisfaction would
have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with the audit reports of our
consolidated financial statements for such year. There were no
reportable events as described under Item&nbsp;304(a)(1)(v) of
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Regulation&nbsp;S-K.

We provided Deloitte with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. A
letter from Deloitte dated May&nbsp;13, 2004 stating its
agreement with these statements was filed as Exhibit&nbsp;16.1

On May&nbsp;7, 2004, the Audit Committee of our Board of
Directors appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

independent registered public accounting firm for the year
ending October&nbsp;31, 2004. In the year ended October&nbsp;31,
2003, and through the date hereof, we did not consult
PricewaterhouseCoopers with respect to the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might
be rendered on our financial statements, or any other matters or
reportable events as set forth in Items&nbsp;304(a)(2)(i) and

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive

the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our
CEO and CFO have each concluded that as of the end of such
period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission&#146;s rules and forms and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management,

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining

<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Rule&nbsp;13a-15(f)</FONT>
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The

reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management evaluated the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal
Control&nbsp;&#151; Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Due to
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The evaluation did not include an assessment of internal control
over financial reporting related to Switchgear&nbsp;&#38;
Instrumentation Limited and Switchgear&nbsp;&#38;
Instrumentation Properties Limited as it was acquired in July
2005 in a purchase business combination. Total revenues and
total assets of Switchgear&nbsp;&#38; Instrumentation Limited

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Powell Industries, Inc. Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan was adopted by the
Board of Directors (&#147;Board&#148;) of <B><I>Powell Industries, Inc.</I></B>, a Delaware corporation (&#147;Company&#148;),
effective as of December&nbsp;17, 2004 and approved by the stockholders of the Company at its annual
meeting of stockholders held on April&nbsp;15, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>PURPOSE AND TERM</B>

for the benefit of members of the Board who, at the time of their service, are not employees of the
Company or any of its affiliates (each a &#147;Participant&#148; and collectively the &#147;Participants&#148;), to
encourage ownership of the Company&#146;s common stock (the &#147;Stock&#148;) by the Participants, thereby
advancing the best interests of the Company by increasing the proprietary interest of the
Participants in the success of the Company and encouraging them to continue in their present
capacity.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Term<B><I>. </I></B>Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan will terminate at the close of business on

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number of outstanding shares of Restricted

the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into or
exercisable for shares of capital stock or any class, either in connection with direct sale or upon
the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or
obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and
no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of outstanding shares of
Restricted Stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notice of Adjustment<B><I>. </I></B>Upon the occurrence of each event requiring an adjustment with respect to
any Restricted Stock, the Company shall mail to each affected Participant its computation of such
adjustment, which shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon each Participant.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Awards<B><I>. </I></B>On the day of each June Board meeting (or the next regular meeting of the Board, if there
is no June meeting), each Participant who is continuing to serve as a director shall receive a
grant of 2,000 shares of Stock. If a Participant is first elected or appointed to the Board
(whichever is applicable) other than at a June meeting, the Participant shall receive a grant of

2,000 shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months until the next June

rights with respect to such grant until such prospective recipient has executed a Restricted Stock
Agreement and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company within a period of sixty days
(or such other period as the Committee shall specify) after the date of the grant. The Restricted
Stock Agreement shall set forth the number of shares of Stock granted to the Participant and all
other terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions to which such Stock is subject. To the
extent any such terms, limitations, restrictions or conditions are inconsistent with the terms of
the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amendment or Discontinuation<B><I>. </I></B>Except as set otherwise set forth in this Section&nbsp;5.1, the Board may
at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Participants, alter, amend, revise,
suspend or discontinue the Plan in whole or in part, <I>provided, however, that </I>to the extent required
to qualify the Plan under Rule&nbsp;16b-3 promulgated under Section&nbsp;16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, no amendment shall be made more than once every six months that would change the
amount, price or timing of the initial and annual grants, other than to comport with changes in the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and <I>provided, further, that </I>to the extent required to
qualify the Plan under Rule&nbsp;16b-3, no amendment that would (a)&nbsp;materially increase the number of

the eligibility for participation in the Plan, or (c)&nbsp;otherwise materially increase the benefits
accruing to Participants under the Plan, shall be made without the approval of the Company&#146;s

Committee, be applicable to any outstanding Restricted Stock previously granted under the Plan with
respect to which the Restricted Period has not yet expired, notwithstanding any contrary provisions
contained in any Restricted Stock Agreement. In the event of any such amendment to the Plan, the
holder
of any Restricted Stock outstanding under the Plan shall, upon the request of the Committee,
execute a conforming amendment to the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement in the form prescribed
by the Committee. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless required
by law, no action contemplated or permitted by this Section&nbsp;5.1 shall adversely affect any rights
of a Participant or obligations of the Company to Participants with respect to any Restricted Stock

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investment Intent and Other Representations<B><I>. </I></B>The Company may require that there be presented to
and filed with it by any Participant under the Plan such evidence as it may deem necessary to
establish that the shares of Restricted Stock are being acquired for investment and not with a view
to their distribution and such other representations and warranties of a Participant which the
Company considers necessary or appropriate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification of Board and Committee<B><I>. </I></B>With respect to administration of the Plan, the Company
shall indemnify each present and future member of the Committee against, and each member of the
Committee shall be entitled without further act on his part to indemnity from the Company for, all
expenses (including the amount of judgments and the amount of approved settlements made with a view
to the curtailment of costs of litigation, other than amounts paid to the Company itself)
reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in
which he may be involved by reason of his being or having been a member of the Committee, whether
or not he continues to be a member of the Committee at the time of incurring the expenses.
However, this indemnity shall not include any expenses incurred by any member of the Committee (a)
in respect of matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in any action, suit or proceeding to
have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty as a
member of the Committee, or (b)&nbsp;in respect of any matter in which any settlement is effected, to an
amount in excess of the amount approved by the Company on the advice of its legal counsel. In
addition, no right of indemnification under this Plan shall be available to or enforceable by any
member of the Committee unless, within 60&nbsp;days after the institution of any action, suit or
proceeding, he shall have offered the Company, in writing, the opportunity to handle and defend the
same at its own expense. This right of indemnification shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors or administrators of each member of the Committee and shall be in addition to all other
rights to which a member of the Committee may be entitled as a matter of law, contract or
otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effect of the Plan<B><I>. </I></B>Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action of the Committee shall be
deemed to give any person any rights except as may be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement or
any amendment thereto duly authorized by the Committee and executed on behalf of the Company, and
then only to the extent and upon the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compliance with Other Laws and Regulations<B><I>. </I></B>Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to require the
Company to issue any shares of Stock under the Plan if issuing that Stock would constitute or
result in a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law, statute or
regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange or inter-dealer
quotation system or other forum in which the shares of Stock are or may be quoted or traded
(including without limitation Section&nbsp;16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Specifically, in
connection with any applicable statute or regulation relating to the registration of securities,
the Company shall not be required to issue any Stock unless the Company has received evidence
satisfactory to it to the effect that the Participant will not transfer the Stock except in
accordance with applicable law, including receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company to the effect that any proposed transfer complies with applicable law. The determination
by the Company on this matter shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company may, but shall
in no event be obligated to, register any Stock covered by this Plan pursuant to applicable
securities laws of any country or any
political subdivision. If the Stock is not registered, the Company may imprint on the certificate
evidencing the Stock any legend that counsel for the Company considers necessary or advisable to
comply with applicable law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tax Requirements<B><I>. </I></B>The Company shall have the right pursuant to any arrangement it deems
