REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors

Fisher-Klosterman, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fisher-KIosterman, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fisher-Klosterman, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FISHER-KLOSTERMAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

 

1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies

Organization and basis of presentation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and related activity of Fisher-Klosterman, Inc. (FKI) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher-Kiosterman-Buell Shanghai Co., Ltd (formerly Kentucky Fabrication Co., Ltd) (FKBS) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

During 2007, the Company discontinued the Heimbrock Refractory Services Division (HRS). Accordingly, activity related to discontinued operations has been segregated and reclassified into the “Discontinued Operations” section of the accompanying consolidated income statements and consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, certain assets and liabilities related to operations discontinued in 2007 were reclassified in the accompanying 2006 consolidated balance sheet. Reclassifications of 2006 activity had no effect on 2006 net income, cash flows, total assets, or total liabilities as previously reported.

Sale of business — As more fully described in Note 14, subsequent to December 31, 2007 the Company sold substantially all of its assets to CECO Environmental Corp.

Nature of business — FKI and FKBS design particle and gas separation equipment, and provide power plant maintenance services and parts. These products and services are provided worldwide. The work is performed under cost plus fee and fixed price contracts. The length of most contracts ranges from three to nine months. The fabrication is primarily subcontracted through various companies in the United States and Canada.

Estimates — Preparation of the 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected. The Company’s business involves making significant estimates and assumptions in the normal course of business relating to its contracts due to, among other things, the unique nature of most of its projects, duration of its contract cycle, and type of contract. The most significant estimates with regard to these consolidated financial statements relate to the estimating of total forecasted contract revenues, costs, and profits in accordance with accounting for long-term contracts. In the near term, actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Revenue and cost recognition — The Company recognizes contract revenue utilizing the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost for each contract. This method is used because management considers total cost incurred to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

Contract costs include all subcontractor costs, direct material and labor costs, and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and revenue and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed on uncompleted contracts. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues earned on uncompleted contracts.

Accounts receivable under contracts — Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, and generally collateral is not required. Accounts receivable under contracts are charged-off when management has exhausted collection attempts and concludes the amounts are uncollectible. Recoveries on accounts previously charged-off are recorded when received. Management estimates an allowance for uncollectible receivables through specific identification of known collection problem accounts based on past due status and through the utilization of historical trend information. Receivables are considered past due according to contract terms.

Inventories, net — Inventories, net consist of commonly used materials, supplies, and parts (stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method), and equipment available for lease (carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation).

Property, plant, and equipment — Net property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to forty years. A significant portion of leasehold improvements are amortized over forty years. These leasehold improvements relate to a building leased from Heumann, LLC (HLLC) (owned by the Company’s majority stockholder)

under a month-to-month lease (see Note 10). Equipment purchased under capital lease obligations is stated at the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term, and related amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives or the related lease term, whichever is shorter.

Goodwill — Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. The Company’s management evaluates goodwill by comparing a division’s fair value to its book value, including goodwill. If a division’s book value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the differential. No goodwill impairment loss was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Shipping costs — Shipping costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of revenue under contracts on the accompanying consolidated income statements.

Income taxes — For income tax purposes, FKI has elected under the lnternal Revenue Code to be taxed as an S corporation. FKBS files its tax return with the People’s Republic of China. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since such taxes are the responsibility of the Company’s stockholders. The Company provides for Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and local income taxes in the accompanying consolidated income statements.

 

2. Reversal of impairment loss in FKBS

In 2005, FKI invested $135,000 for a 50% interest in FKBS, a venture to operate a fabrication shop in China. As a result of an impairment analysis, management determined the investment was impaired as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, FKI recorded a $135,000 impairment loss during 2005 and wrote-off the investment balance.

In 2006, FKI purchased the 50% interest held by its joint venture partner for $80,000 plus approximately $58,000 in other costs. As a result, the previously recorded impairment was reversed, and FKI recognized a recovery of approximately $103,000. The purchase price and the previously recorded investment in FKBS were allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.

The Company was in violation of certain of these covenants as of December 31, 2007.

The Company leases a portion of its facilities from HLLC under a month-to-month operating lease for $5,900 per month. The Company pays for a portion of the facility’s maintenance. The Company and HLLC are under common control, and the existence of that control could result in operating results or financial position of the Company significantly different from those that would have been obtained if the entities were autonomous.

The lease has two three-year renewal options at a fair market price not to exceed a 5% increase over the existing rent, and calls for monthly payments of $16,666. Either party may terminate the lease by making a payment of two months rent.

Total rental expense was approximately $322,000 and $364,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, of which approximately $71,000 was paid to Heumann, LLC each year.
