While actual results could differ from those estimated by management in the preparation of the
condensed consolidated financial statements, management believes that the accounting policies,
assumptions, and estimates applied promote the representational faithfulness, verifiability,
neutrality, and transparency of the accounting information included in the condensed consolidated
financial statements.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>(2)&nbsp;Share Based Compensation</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On September&nbsp;1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123
(revised 2004), &#147;Share-Based Payment,&#148; (&#147;SFAS 123(R)&#148;) which requires the measurement and
recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and
directors. SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to estimate the fair value of share-based payment
awards on the date of grant. The estimated value of the portion of an award that is ultimately
expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period for the grant. Prior
to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for share-based awards to employees and
directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25. Under the intrinsic value
method, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized by the Company because the exercise
price of the Company&#146;s stock options granted to its employees and directors equaled the fair market
value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The restricted stock units granted to employees and non-employees under the 2006 Plan have a grant
date fair value equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date less
present value of expected dividends. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as
its valuation method for awards of stock options. Under the Black-Scholes model, the fair value of
share-based payment awards on the date of grant is affected by the Company&#146;s stock price on the
grant date as well as assumptions regarding expected price volatility for the Company&#146;s stock over
the term of the awards, the risk free interest rate, actual and projected employee stock option
exercise behaviors, expected dividends and other variables. The Company uses a seven year period
to calculate the historical volatility of its stock price for use in the option pricing model. The
Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the option
pricing model. Groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered
separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical
experience and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.
The risk-free interest rate for options is based on a U.S. Treasury rate commensurate with the
expected option terms. The weighted-average estimated value of employee stock options granted
during the nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 and 2005 was $8.13 and $10.51, per share, respectively,
with the following weighted-average assumptions:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company implemented SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly,
the Company&#146;s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three-months and
nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 reflect the adoption of SFAS 123(R), but the Company&#146;s Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not
include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the three-months and nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006, the Company&#146;s net income before taxes was
reduced by $557,000 and $1,298,000, respectively, as a result of the recognition of share based
compensation expense, while the net of tax effect on net income was $346,000 and $806,000,
respectively. The share-based compensation expense is taxed at a blended deferred rate of 37.9%.
Diluted earnings per share were negatively effected by $0.03 and $0.07 per share, respectively, for
the three-months and nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006. Share-based compensation expense recognized
in the Company&#146;s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the first nine months of 2006 include
compensation expense relating to share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as
of, August&nbsp;31, 2005. As of May&nbsp;31, 2006, there was a total of $3.9&nbsp;million of unrecognized pre-tax
compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements which is expected to
be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.25&nbsp;years. Share-based compensation expense is
added back to reported net income in order to calculate cash flows from operations in the Company&#146;s
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows .

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Dilutive potential common shares consist of in-the-money stock options and restricted stock units.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;128, &#147;Earnings per Share,&#148;
requires that employee equity share options, nonvested shares and similar equity instruments
granted by the Company be treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted
earnings per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options,
which is calculated, based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury
stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising
stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet
recognized, and the amount of benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when
the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Share Based Compensation Program Descriptions</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Share based compensation is designed to reward employees for their long-term contributions to
the Company and provide incentives for them to remain with the Company. The number and frequency of
share grants are based on competitive practices, operating results of the Company, and individual
performance. As of May&nbsp;31, 2006, the Company&#146;s share-based compensation plan was the 2006
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;2006 Plan&#148;). The 2006 Plan was approved by the stockholders of the
Company and became effective on February&nbsp;6, 2006 and replaced the Company&#146;s 2001 Long Term

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Incentive Plan. No further grants will be made under the Company&#146;s 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan
or its former 1991
Long-Term Incentive Plan. However, the Company has outstanding options under its 2001 and 1991
Long-Term Incentive Plans.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 2006 Plan provides for awards of stock options, restricted shares, restricted
stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance units to employees and
non-employee directors of the Company. The maximum number of shares as to which stock awards may
be granted under the 2006 Plan is 750,000 shares. Stock awards other than stock options will be
counted against the 2006 Plan maximum in a 2 to 1 ratio. If options, restricted stock units or
restricted shares awarded under the 2006 Plan or the 2001 Plan terminate without being fully vested
or exercised, those shares will be available again for grant under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan
also limits the total awards that may be made to any individual. Any options granted under the
2006 Plan would have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on
the grant date and expire no later than ten years from the grant date. The restricted stock units
granted to employees vest over a three year period at approximately 33% per year. The restricted
stock units granted to non-employee directors vest over a nine-month period.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash equivalents are included at cost, which approximates market. At May&nbsp;31, 2006, a single
financial institution held substantially all the Company&#146;s cash equivalents. The Company considers
all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents, while those having original maturities in excess of three months are classified as
marketable securities or as long-term marketable securities when maturities are in excess of one
year. Marketable securities and long-term marketable securities consist of investment-grade
municipal bonds.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the date of acquisition of an investment security, management designates the security as
belonging to a trading portfolio, an available-for-sale portfolio, or a held-to-maturity portfolio.
Currently, the Company classifies investment securities as available-for-sale and carries such
investment securities at fair value. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation in
the fair value of available-for-sale securities is reported in accumulated other comprehensive
income, net of related income tax effects. The Company monitors its investment portfolio for any
decline in fair value that is other-than-temporary and records any such impairment as an impairment
loss. No impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in fair value have been recorded in
the three-months and nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 and 2005. In the opinion of management, the
Company is not subject to material market risks with respect to its portfolio of investment
securities because the relatively short maturities of these securities make their value less
susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the last-in,
first-out (LIFO)&nbsp;method for the Company&#146;s Lindsay, Nebraska inventory and two warehouses in Idaho
and Texas. Cost is determined by the weighted average method for inventories at the Company&#146;s
other operating locations in Washington State, France, Brazil, and South Africa. The Company
operates a warehouse in China, in which inventory is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method. At all locations, the Company establishes reserves for obsolete, slow moving, and excess
inventory by estimating the net realizable value based on the potential future use of such
inventory.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>(8)&nbsp;Industry Segment Information</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company manages its business activities in two reportable segments:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Irrigation: This segment includes the manufacture and marketing of center pivot, lateral
move, and hose reel irrigation systems. The irrigation segment consists of six operating segments
that have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;131 &#147;Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diversified Products: This segment includes providing outsource manufacturing services and
the manufacturing and selling of large diameter steel tubing.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accounting policies of the two reportable segments are the same as those described in the
&#147;Accounting Policies&#148; in Note A to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company&#146;s
10-K for the fiscal year ended August&nbsp;31, 2005. The Company evaluates the performance of its
operating segments based on segment sales, gross profit, and operating income, with operating
income for segment purposes excluding general and administrative expenses (which include corporate
expenses), engineering and research expenses, interest income net, other income and expenses, net
income taxes, and assets. Operating income for segment purposes does include selling expenses and
other overhead charges directly attributable to the segment. There are no inter-segment sales.
Because the Company utilizes common operating assets for its irrigation and diversified segments,
it is not practical to separately identify assets by reportable segment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company had no single customer representing 10% or more of its total revenues during the
three-months or nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 or 2005, respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Summarized financial information concerning the Company&#146;s reportable segments is shown in the
following table:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>(1)&nbsp;Notes receivable consists of $1.0&nbsp;million note from a sold irrigation dealership (see
below) and other notes of $0.3&nbsp;million .</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Goodwill represents the excess of the allocable purchase price for assets acquired in certain
business acquisitions over the fair value of these assets at the time of the acquisitions. Other
intangible assets include non-compete agreements, trade names, patents, and plans and
specifications. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but
instead are tested for impairment of their values at least annually in accordance with SFAS No.
142, &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.&#148; The estimated fair value of these assets depends on a
number of assumptions including forecasted sales growth and operating expenses of the reporting
segment in which the assets are used. To the extent that the relevant reporting unit is unable to
achieve these assumptions, impairment losses may be recognized. The Company completed its
annual impairment evaluation of these non-amortizing assets at August&nbsp;31, 2005 and determined that
no impairment losses were indicated. Other intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized
over their realizable lives. Amortization expense for these other intangible assets was $49,000
and $45,000 for the three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 and 2005 and $146,000 and $98,000 for the
nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company previously held a 39% minority
investment in an irrigation dealership based outside of the United States. This investment was
accounted for on the equity method. On September&nbsp;1, 2005 the Company sold its minority position in
the irrigation dealership for cash held in escrow of approximately $790,000 and notes receivable
with a carrying value of $1.2&nbsp;million. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the escrow was paid
down by $354,000. These notes are due in annual installments through 2010 and bear interest at 6%.
These notes are guaranteed by the acquirer. The sale closed on November&nbsp;30, 2005. The Company
realized an immaterial gain from the sale of the dealership.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Guarantees of Customer Equipment Financing</I>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the normal course of its business, the Company has arranged for unaffiliated financial
institutions to make favorable financing terms available to end-user purchasers of the Company&#146;s
irrigation equipment. In order to facilitate these arrangements, the Company provides limited
recourse guarantees or full guarantees to the financial institutions on these equipment loans. All
of the Company&#146;s customer-equipment recourse guarantees are collateralized by the value of the
equipment being financed. The estimated maximum potential future payments to be made by the
Company on these guarantees equaled $1,932,000, $2,271,000 and $2,256,000 at May&nbsp;31, 2006, May&nbsp;31,
2005 and August&nbsp;31, 2005, respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company maintains an agreement with one financial institution under which it guarantees
the financial institution&#146;s total pool of financing agreements with end users. Under this
guarantee, the Company&#146;s exposure is limited to unpaid principal and interest where the first
and/or second annual customer payments on individual loans in the pool have not yet been made as
and when due. The maximum exposure on this pool guarantee is equal to 2.75% of the aggregate
original principal balance of the loans in the pool and equaled approximately $932,000 at May&nbsp;31,
2006, $1.4&nbsp;million at May&nbsp;31, 2005, and $1.3&nbsp;million at August&nbsp;31, 2005. As of March&nbsp;1, 2006, the
Company will no longer provide guarantees on any new financing arrangements under this pool
guarantee. The Company will continue to guarantee loans in the pool of record as of May&nbsp;31, 2006.
The guarantee will be released as payments are made against those loans.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Separately, the Company provides guarantees on specific customer loans made by two
unaffiliated financial institutions, including the institution for which the pool guarantee is
provided. Generally, the Company&#146;s exposure on these specific customer guarantees is limited to
unpaid principal and interest on customer payments that have not been made as and when due. In
some cases, the guarantee may cover all scheduled payments of a loan. The amount of these
guarantees of specific customer loans equaled approximately $1.0&nbsp;million at May&nbsp;31, 2006,
approximately $871,000 at May&nbsp;31, 2005, and approximately $956,000 at August&nbsp;31, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company recorded, at estimated fair value, deferred revenue of $43,000 at May&nbsp;31, 2006,
compared to $75,000 at May&nbsp;31, 2005 and $69,000 at August&nbsp;31, 2005, classified with other current
liabilities, for these guarantees. The estimated fair values of these guarantees are primarily
based on the Company&#146;s experience with these guarantee agreements and related transactions. The
Company recognizes the revenue for the estimated fair value of the guarantees ratably over the
respective terms of the guarantees. Separately, related to these guarantees, the Company has
accrued a liability of $170,000, $297,000, and $190,000 at May&nbsp;31, 2006 and 2005, and August&nbsp;31,
2005, respectively, also classified with other current liabilities, for estimated losses on such
guarantees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Guarantees on Third Party Debt Related to Equity Investment</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company had guaranteed three bank loans and a standby letter of credit on behalf of the
irrigation dealership based in Kansas in which the Company previously held a minority equity
investment position. By the end of the second quarter fiscal 2005, all underlying bank loans
guaranteed had been paid in full for approximately $250,000 and the guarantees released.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Product Warranties</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company generally warrants its products against certain manufacturing and other defects.
These product warranties are provided for specific periods and/or usage of the product. The
accrued product warranty costs are for a combination of specifically identified items and other
incurred, but not identified, items based primarily on historical experience of actual warranty
claims. This reserve is classified with other current liabilities.

commercial litigation, employment disputes, administrative proceedings, and other legal
proceedings. These include a consent decree that the Company entered in 1992 with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency concerning groundwater contamination at its Lindsay, Nebraska
facility, which is included as an EPA superfund site. Management does not believe that these

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The effective rate for the income tax provision for the nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 and
2005 was 30.51% and 32.61%, respectively. The effective rate for the income tax provision for the
three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 and 2005 was 29.83% and 31.37%, respectively. Overall, currently
the Company benefits from a U.S. effective tax rate which is lower than the combined federal and
state statutory rates primarily due to the federal tax-exempt interest income on its investment
portfolio.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The effective tax rate for the income tax provision for the nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006
decreased primarily due to a one-time tax benefit of approximately $436,000 partially offset by
lower federal tax-exempt interest income. Included in the one-time tax benefit is a credit
adjustment of prior estimated federal and state tax liabilities of $65,000, a $404,000 credit
adjustment of prior estimated deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the Company&#146;s recently
completed IRS examination offset by a $32,000 tax expense resulting from the Company&#146;s recently
completed state examination.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>(15)&nbsp;Subsequent Event</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On June&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Barrier Systems, Inc. (&#147;BSI&#148;) and its
subsidiary Safe Technologies, Inc. through the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
with and into BSI (the &#147;Merger&#148;). As a result, BSI has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. BSI is engaged in the manufacture of specialty roadway barriers and traffic flow products
that are used to reduce traffic congestion and enhance safety.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Total cash merger consideration paid to the stockholders of BSI and holders of options to acquire
BSI stock was $35,000,000 less (i)&nbsp;approximately $3,796,000 representing liabilities of BSI for
borrowed money which were repaid at closing by the Company, (ii)&nbsp;approximately $29,000 representing
liabilities of BSI for borrowed money which were not repaid at closing and (iii)&nbsp;approximately
$906,000 of transaction costs of BSI. Of the cash merger consideration, $3,500,000 is held in
escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of the shareholders and option holders of BSI and
$1,000,000 is held in escrow pending calculation of the final merger consideration based on the
adjusted net assets of BSI at closing. The Company funded the payment of the merger consideration
using a combination of its own working capital and borrowing under the new credit agreement
described below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Prior to the Merger, certain assets of BSI were conveyed to a limited liability company and the
entire equity interests in such company were distributed to the shareholders of BSI as a special
dividend. As a result, these assets (consisting primarily of proceeds from the sale of equity
interests in Canadian distributors which historically had been accounted for under the equity
method) were not acquired by the Company through the Merger.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In order to finance the Merger described above, the Company entered into an unsecured $30&nbsp;million
Term Note and Credit Agreement, each effective as of June&nbsp;1, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
(collectively, the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;). In addition, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
transaction with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points.
However, this variable interest rate has been converted to a fixed rate of 6.05% through the
interest rate swap transaction. Principal is repaid quarterly in equal payments of $1,071,428 over
a seven year period commencing September, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including covenants relating to the Company&#146;s
financial condition. Upon the occurrence of any event of default specified in the Credit Agreement,
including a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Credit Agreement), all amounts due
thereunder may be declared to be immediately due and payable.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains not only historical information, but also
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements that are not historical are
forward-looking and reflect expectations for future Company conditions or performance. In
addition, forward-looking statements may be made orally or in press releases, conferences, reports,
on the Company&#146;s worldwide web site, or otherwise, in the future by or on behalf of the Company.
When used by or on behalf of the Company, the words &#147;expect&#148;, &#147;anticipate&#148;, &#147;estimate&#148;, &#147;believe&#148;,
&#147;intend&#148;, and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. The entire
section entitled &#147;Market Conditions and Fiscal 2006 Outlook&#148; should be considered forward-looking
statements. For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not
limited to those discussed in the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section in the Company&#146;s annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended August&nbsp;31, 2005. Readers should not place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statement and should recognize that the statements are predictions of future
results or conditions, which may not occur as anticipated. Actual results or conditions could
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical
results, due to the risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as others not now
anticipated. The risks and uncertainties described herein are not exclusive and further
information concerning the Company and its businesses, including factors that potentially could
materially affect the Company&#146;s financial results, may emerge from time to time. Except as
required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect
actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Accounting Policies</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In preparing the Company&#146;s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management must make a
variety of decisions, which impact the reported amounts and the related disclosures. These
decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the
assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In making these decisions, management applies
its judgment based on its understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances and the
Company&#146;s historical experience.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s accounting policies that are most important to the presentation of its results
of operations and financial condition, and which require the greatest use of judgments and
estimates by management, are designated as its critical accounting policies. Disclosure on these
critical accounting policies is incorporated by reference under Item&nbsp;7 &#150; &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the Company&#146;s year ended August&nbsp;31, 2005. Management periodically re-evaluates and
adjusts its critical accounting policies as circumstances change. During the second quarter of
fiscal 2006, the Company has reevaluated its revenue recognition policy and has removed it from its
critical accounting policies. This decision was made because there is not a significant amount of
estimates or judgment used in determining revenue recognition. During the first quarter of fiscal
2006 the Company adopted SFAS 123(R). Management does not consider this a critical accounting
policy and there were no other significant changes in the Company&#146;s critical accounting policies
during the three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Revenues</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating revenues for the three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 increased 34% to $75.0&nbsp;million compared
with $56.0&nbsp;million for the three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2005. This increase was attributable to a
38% increase in irrigation equipment revenues.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Domestic irrigation equipment revenues for the three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 of $48.9
million increased $14.6&nbsp;million or 43%, compared to the same period last year. The increase in
revenues was primarily a result of an increase in the volume of units shipped during the period.
In addition, price increases implemented during the year increased revenues. Demand was generally
affected by improving domestic farmer sentiment. At the end of the fiscal quarter, commodity
prices for the primary agricultural commodities on which the Company&#146;s equipment is used remained
relatively stable while corn prices increased approximately 15%, fueled by increased ethanol
demand. As discussed last quarter, increased ethanol demand and a projected reduction in corn
acreage planted has moved corn prices higher. Based on USDA estimates, corn usage for ethanol
production is now expected to be more than 30% higher than the previous year, and approximately
18.5% of total corn usage. Aided by the increased ethanol demand, corn inventories are projected
to decline, further supporting strong corn prices. Even though USDA estimates project that Net
Farm Income will be lower by 22.6% in the 2006 crop year compared to the prior year, the domestic
farmers&#146; sentiment for irrigation equipment is significantly improved over last year. Continued
dry weather conditions in the Southwest and Midwest and stabilized crop prices have created a
stronger market for irrigation equipment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;International irrigation equipment revenues for the three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 of $20.1
million increased $4.4&nbsp;million or 28% as compared to the same prior year period. Most of the
international revenue increase was realized in Latin America (excluding Brazil), Australia and New
Zealand, and China. The agricultural sector in Brazil remains depressed, in spite of the Brazilian
government&#146;s recently announced support plans which include debt extensions, lower interest rates
and higher debt limits. In the quarter, the Company also experienced revenue growth in China.
While the Company has been selling in China for a few years, this year the Company realized the
benefits of a greater appreciation of its technology and government funding in support of efficient
irrigation technology.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diversified manufacturing revenues for the three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 of $5.9&nbsp;million
remained relatively flat as compared to the same prior year period. The Company continues to
realize strong revenues in its contract manufacturing business, and in commercial tubing. In
addition, on June&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Barrier Systems, Inc. (&#147;BSI&#148;) a
manufacturer of movable barrier systems and road safety products. The acquisition reflects the
execution of our strategy to build up the Company&#146;s diversified manufacturing business with more
proprietary infrastructure products. BSI has been a customer of the Company&#146;s diversified
manufacturing business for many years and the Company sees exciting opportunities to create
shareholder value through manufacturing synergies, supporting BSI&#146;s expansion in the United States,
and in international expansion where the Company can provide support through its local entities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Gross Margin</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Gross margin percentage for the quarter increased to 22.7% from the 21.8% achieved during the third
quarter of fiscal 2005. During the quarter, the Company experienced rapidly rising costs in zinc and copper, which
are approximately 8% and 5% respectively, of the cost of a standard irrigation pivot. At the same
time steel costs remained relatively stable. The Company has proactively responded to the rising
costs by passing-through multiple price increases on its products, equating to approximately 5% in
the quarter. The environment for passing-through and retaining those price increases has improved
over the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company continues to expect the price increases
implemented to be effective and to realize margin improvements as material costs stabilize. In
addition, the Company is realizing benefits from our manufacturing and scheduling improvements
implemented at our Lindsay, Nebraska facility. During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the
Company experienced improvements resulting from the higher volume and from the lean manufacturing
principles implemented. The Company has also hired a new plant manager for the Lindsay, Nebraska
facility from the automotive industry with lean manufacturing experience and expects to continue to
realize financial benefits as the Company improves its processes and work flow.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Operating Expenses</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating expenses for the quarter were $8.7&nbsp;million or 27% higher than during the same period of
fiscal 2005. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to the inclusion of
stock based compensation expense of $518,000 and an increase in performance based incentive
compensation expense of $800,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Interest Income, Other Income, and Taxes</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net interest income during the three-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 of $511,000 increased 94&nbsp;percent
from the $264,000 earned during the same period of fiscal 2005. The increase is primarily the
result of increased interest income from higher interest rates when compared to the average
interest rate earned in the prior year period.

to the same period in fiscal 2005. This increase primarily resulted from foreign currency
transaction gains of $243,000 as compared to a $134,000 loss in the prior year period.

decreased to 29.83% from 31.37% in the prior year period primarily due to a one-time tax benefit of
approximately $404,000 partially offset by lower federal tax-exempt interest income. The one-time
tax benefit was a result of the completion of a recent IRS examination.

adoption of SFAS 123(R) had a negative net of tax effect on earnings of $346,000 or $0.03 per

achieved during the same prior year period. The increase in gross margin is largely attributable
to the increase in volume of irrigation systems sold during the nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2006 as
compared to the same period in fiscal 2005 and improved pricing conditions in the United States.
The Company has proactively responded to the rising costs by passing-through multiple price
increases on its products. This resulted in an increased number of units to which overhead and
other fixed production costs were allocated. Gross margin was also positively affected by the
decrease in the percentage of total sales represented by our international operations since margins
achieved by these operations are typically lower than those achieved by our domestic operations.

higher interest rates when compared to the average interest rate earned in the prior year period.

the same period in fiscal 2005. This decrease primarily resulted from the loss of other income
from a 39% minority ownership in the Canadian dealership due to the sale of this interest on

2005 was 30.51% and 32.61%, respectively, due to factors discussed above. Overall, currently the
Company benefits from a U.S. effective tax rate which is lower than the combined federal and state

adjustment of prior estimated federal and state tax liabilities of $65,000, a $404,000 credit

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company requires cash for financing its receivables and inventories, paying operating costs and
capital expenditures, and for dividends. The Company may also use cash to finance business
acquisitions and additional stock repurchases from time to time. Historically, the Company has met
its liquidity needs and financed all capital expenditures exclusively from its available cash and
funds provided by operations. However, the Company borrowed $30&nbsp;million under a new seven-year
term loan from a bank to finance its acquisition of BSI in June&nbsp;2006. Borrowings under the Credit
Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points; however this variable
interest rate has been converted to a fixed rate of 6.05% through an interest rate swap
transaction.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s cash and marketable securities totaled $52.9&nbsp;million at May&nbsp;31, 2006, $53.7
million at May&nbsp;31, 2005, and $54.8&nbsp;million at August&nbsp;31, 2005. The Company&#146;s marketable securities
consist primarily of investment-grade municipal bonds.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash flows provided by operations totaled $2.3&nbsp;million during the nine-months ended May&nbsp;31,
2006, compared to $8.8&nbsp;million provided by operations during the same prior year period. The $6.5
million decrease in cash flows provided by operations was primarily due to a $15.5&nbsp;million increase
in cash used by receivables, $2.8&nbsp;million increase in cash used by inventory, and $2.8&nbsp;million
increase in cash used by deferred and current taxes and $2.2&nbsp;million decrease in cash provided by
noncurrent assets and liabilities. These cash uses were partially offset by a $4.1&nbsp;million increase
in cash provided by net income, $2.1&nbsp;million increase in cash provided by accounts payable, $9.6
million increase in cash provided by current liabilities, $1.3&nbsp;million increase in cash provided by
stock-based compensation expense. The change in current liabilities is primarily due to the
factors previously discussed, which include the inclusion of stock based compensation and an
increase in incentive compensation expense.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash flows provided by investing activities totaled $4.1&nbsp;million during the nine-months ended
May&nbsp;31, 2006 compared to cash flows provided by investing activities of $9.8&nbsp;million during the
same prior year period. Cash flows provided by investing activities decreased by $5.7&nbsp;million
compared to the same prior year period primarily due to lower net proceeds from maturities of
marketable securities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capital expenditures were $2.7&nbsp;million, and $2.9&nbsp;million during the nine-months ended May&nbsp;31,
2006 and 2005, respectively. Capital expenditures were used primarily for updating manufacturing
plant and equipment, expanding manufacturing capacity, and further automating the Company&#146;s
facilities. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2006 are expected to be approximately $3.5 to $4.0
million and will be used to improve the Company&#146;s facilities and expand its manufacturing capacity.

financing is due primarily to a the prior year repurchases of common stock of $6.6&nbsp;million that
occurred during the nine-months ended May&nbsp;31, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s European subsidiary, Lindsay Europe, has unsecured revolving lines of credit
with two commercial banks under which it could borrow up to 2.3&nbsp;million Euros, which equates to
USD$2.9&nbsp;million as of May&nbsp;31, 2006, for working capital purposes. As of May&nbsp;31, 2006, there was a
$1.6&nbsp;million outstanding balance on this line. Under the terms of the line of credit, borrowings,
if any, bear interest at a floating rate in effect from time to time designated by the commercial
bank as LIBOR&#043;200 basis points (4.07% at May&nbsp;31, 2006).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company believes its current cash resources (including cash and marketable securities

its expected working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividends, and other cash
requirements, excluding potential acquisitions.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The market value of the Company&#146;s investment securities fluctuates inversely with movements in
interest rates because all of these investment securities bear interest at fixed rates.
Accordingly, during periods of rising interest rates, the market value of these securities will
decline. However, the Company does not consider itself to be subject to material market risks
with respect to its portfolio of investment securities because the maturity of these securities is
relatively short, making their value less susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Brazil, and South
Africa. The Company has sold products throughout the world and purchases certain of its components
from third-party foreign suppliers. Export sales made from the United States are principally U.S.
dollar denominated. Accordingly, these sales are not subject to significant currency transaction
risk. However, a majority of the Company&#146;s revenue generated from operations outside the United
States is denominated in local currency. The Company&#146;s most significant transactional foreign
currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian real, and the South African rand in relation to the U.S.
dollar. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies create exposures, which can adversely
affect the Company&#146;s results of operations. The Company attempts to manage its transactional
foreign exchange exposure by monitoring foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments
arising from the settlement of receivables and payables, and from future purchases and sales.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 1992, the company entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency of
the United States Government (&#147;the EPA&#148;) in which it committed to remediate environmental
contamination of the groundwater that was discovered in 1982 through 1990 at and adjacent to its
Lindsay, Nebraska facility (&#147;the site&#148;). The site was added to the EPA&#146;s list of priority
superfund sites in 1989. Between 1993 and 1995, remediation plans for the site were approved by
the EPA and fully implemented by the Company. Since 1998, the primary remaining contamination at
the site has been the presence of volatile organic chemicals in the groundwater. In 2003, a second
Five Year Review of the status of the remediation of the contamination of the site was conducted by
the Company and the EPA. As a result of this review, the EPA issued a letter placing the Company
on notice that additional remediation actions were required. The Company and its environmental
consultants have completed and submitted a supplemental remedial action work plan that, when
implemented, will allow the Company and the EPA to better identify the boundaries of the
contaminated groundwater and will allow the Company and the EPA to more effectively assure that the
contaminated groundwater is being contained by current and planned additional wells that pump and
aerate it. The Company has been able to reasonably estimate the cost of completing the remediation
actions defined in the supplemental remedial action work plan. Substantially all remediation
actions were completed in fiscal 2004 and the Company expects to complete the outstanding actions
in fiscal 2006. Related liabilities recognized were $97,000 at May&nbsp;31, 2006 and $133,000 at August
31, 2005.
