manufacturer of large-diameter, high-pressure steel pipeline systems for use in water infrastructure applications, primarily related to drinking water systems. Our pipeline systems are also used for hydroelectric power systems, wastewater systems
and other applications. With a history that dates back more than 100 years, we have established a leading position based on a strong, widely recognized reputation for quality and service and an extensive array of product offerings. Our manufacturing
facilities are strategically located throughout North America to provide us with broad geographic coverage of our target markets, giving us competitive advantages in serving our customers. </FONT></P> <P

our water infrastructure products through an in-house sales force comprised of sales representatives, engineers and support personnel who work closely with public water agencies, contractors and engineering firms, often years in advance of projects
being bid. This allows us to not only identify and evaluate planned projects at early stages, but also to participate in the engineering and design process and ultimately promote the advantages of our systems. Our sales have historically been driven
by the need for new water infrastructure, which is based primarily on overall population growth and population movement between regions. We believe the need for new water infrastructure will continue to be a significant growth driver for us and,
importantly, will be accompanied by the increasing need for water infrastructure upgrades, repairs and replacements due to the aging and outdated water infrastructure systems throughout North America. </FONT></P> <P

approximately $11 billion annually. Within this market, we focus on engineered pipeline systems that utilize large-diameter, high-pressure steel pipe. In addition to these water infrastructure applications, our Water Transmission Group manufactures
products for certain structural piling applications and in-plant pipeline systems for power plants and other industrial applications. We believe the current addressable market for the products sold by our Water Transmission Group is approximately
$750 million to $850 million. Our core market is the large-diameter, high-pressure portion of the pipeline that is typically at the &#147;upper end&#148; of a pipeline system. This is the portion of the overall water pipeline that generally
transports water from the source to a treatment plant or from a treatment plant into the distribution system, rather than the small lines that deliver water directly into households. However, we also have the ability to produce small-diameter pipe.

our water infrastructure products and other products related to water transmission and distribution. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The primary drivers of growth in new
water infrastructure installation are population growth and movement. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the United States will increase by over 80&nbsp;million people between 2000 and 2030. The resulting increase in demand will
require substantial new infrastructure, as the existing U.S. water infrastructure is not equipped to provide water to millions of new residents. The combination of population growth and movement is projected to result in more than 70&nbsp;million
new residents in the southern and western regions of the United States. In addition, many current water supply sources are in danger of being exhausted, creating a need for completely new transmission systems to be developed between new sources and
population centers. Our manufacturing facilities are well located to take advantage of the anticipated growth and demand in these regions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Many authorities, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (&#147;EPA&#148;), believe the U.S. water infrastructure is in critical need of an update. With the average age of water transmission pipes in the United States
approaching 70 years, much of the U.S. water infrastructure is antiquated and requires upgrade, repair or replacement. Some water transmission pipelines in the United States are over 100 years old, and the American Society of Civil Engineers has
given poor ratings to many aspects of the U.S. water infrastructure in a recent study. By 2020, approximately 44% of the water pipe in the United States will be classified as &#147;poor&#148; to &#147;life-elapsed&#148; if renewal or replacement of
the existing infrastructure does not occur. In its third national assessment of public water system infrastructure, the EPA in 2005 estimated that a total investment of approximately $277 billion will be needed to install, upgrade and replace
infrastructure over the next 20 years. The EPA estimates that approximately $184 billion of this needed investment applies to the rehabilitation or replacement of deteriorated or undersized water transmission and distribution infrastructure.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Increased public awareness of problems with the quality of drinking water and efficient water usage has resulted in more stringent
application of federal and state environmental regulations. The need to comply with these regulations in an environment of heightened public awareness towards water issues is expected to contribute significantly to growth in the water infrastructure
industry over the next several years. Water systems will need to be installed, upgraded and replaced in order to satisfy these water quality laws and regulations while overall demand for water continues to increase. </FONT></P> <P

engineered drawings of each unique piece of pipe in a project. These drawings are prepared on our proprietary computer-aided design system and are used as blueprints for the manufacture of the pipe. After the drawings are completed and approved,
manufacturing begins by feeding steel coil continuously at a specified angle into a spiral weld mill which cold forms the band into a tubular configuration with a spiral seam. Automated arc welders, positioned on both the inside and the outside of
the tube, are used to weld the seam. The welded tube is then cut at the specified length. After completion of the forming and welding phases, the finished cylinder is tested and inspected in accordance with project specifications, which may include
100% radiographic analysis of the weld seam. The cylinders are then coated and lined as specified. Possible coatings include coal tar enamel, polyethylene tape, polyurethane paint, epoxies, Pritec<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> and cement mortar. Linings may be cement mortar, polyurethane or epoxies. Following coating and lining, certain pieces may be custom fabricated as required for the project. This process is performed in our
fabrication facilities. The pipe is final inspected and prepared for shipment. We ship our products to project sites principally by truck and rail. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B><I>Tubular Products.</I></B> Tubular products are manufactured by an ERW process in diameters ranging from 0.50 inches to 16 inches. This process begins by unrolling and slitting steel coils into narrower bands sized to the circumference
of the finished product. Each band is re-coiled and fed into the material handling equipment at the front end of the ERW mill and fed through a series of rolls that cold-form it into a tubular configuration. The resultant tube is welded by
high-frequency electric resistance welders. Some products are reconfigured into rectangular and square shapes and then cut into the appropriate lengths. After exiting the mill, the products are straightened, inspected, tested and end-finished.
Certain products are coated. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Fabricated Products.</I></B> Propane tanks begin with hot rolled steel, from which cylinders are rolled
and welded, and tank heads are drawn on a hydraulic press. After assembly and final welding, propane tanks receive both radiographic and hydrostatic testing. Lastly, the propane tanks are powder coated, and purged with a vacuum process. Other
fabricated metal products typically begin with hot rolled steel, from which the steel is cut or burned to the desired dimension. The product is then formed either with a rolling or press brake process. Pieces are welded into a final assembly using a
variety of welding processes and certain products are coated. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Technology. </I></B>Advances in technology help us produce high

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">United States. Manufacturers compete with one another primarily on the basis of price, established business relationships, customer service and delivery. In
some of the sectors within the tubular products industry, competition may be less vigorous due to the existence of a relatively small number of companies with the capabilities to manufacture certain products. In particular, we operate in a variety
of different markets that require pipe with lighter wall thickness in relation to diameter than many of our competitors can manufacture. In our markets, we typically compete with Valmont Industries, Inc., Lindsay Manufacturing Co., Tenaris, U.S.
Steel, Allied Tube and Conduit Corp. and John Maneely Company, as well as imported products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Fabricated Products. </I></B>In the
propane tank market, we compete against several other tank manufacturers, generally on the basis of price, delivery and customer service. Propane tanks are typically sold in truckload quantities and delivered by common carriers, and accordingly,
freight is a significant component of the total delivered cost. From our Monterrey facility, we effectively cover approximately 80% of the continental United States and selected provinces in Canada. Our primary competitors are American
Welding&nbsp;&amp; Tank Co. (a division of Harsco Corporation), Trinity Industries, Inc. and Quality Steel Corporation. Periodically other Mexico-based producers sell into the United States, but we believe they are not a significant factor in these
markets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With other fabricated metal products, we compete against hundreds of independent fabricators, as well as internal departments of

foreign mills are conducted through international trading companies, including Marubeni Corporation and Corus International. We order steel according to our business forecasts for our Tubular Products and Fabricated Products businesses. Steel for
the Water Transmission business is normally purchased only after a project has been awarded to us. From time to time, we may purchase additional steel when it is available at favorable prices. Purchased steel represents a substantial portion of our
cost of sales. The steel industry is highly cyclical in nature and steel prices are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions, availability of raw materials, energy costs, import duties, other trade
restrictions and currency exchange rates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We also rely on certain suppliers of coating materials, lining materials and certain custom
fabricated items. We have at least two suppliers for most of our raw materials. We believe our relationships with our suppliers are positive and have no indication that we will experience shortages of raw materials or components essential to our
production processes or that we will be forced to seek alternative sources of supply. Any shortages of raw materials may result in production delays and costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and

represents a substantial portion of our cost of sales, particularly in our tubular products and fabricated products businesses. The steel industry is highly cyclical in nature, and, at times, pricing can be highly volatile due to a number of factors
beyond our control, including general economic conditions, import duties, other trade restrictions and currency exchange rates. This volatility can significantly affect our gross profit. Although we seek to recover increases in steel prices through
price increases in our products, we have not always been completely successful. Any increase in steel prices that is not offset by an increase in our prices could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Department of Environmental Quality (&#147;ODEQ&#148;) requested performance of a preliminary assessment of our plant located at 12005 N. Burgard in Portland, Oregon. The purpose of the assessment was to determine whether the plant has contributed
to sediment contamination in the Willamette River. We entered into a Voluntary Letter Agreement with ODEQ in mid-August 2000, and began working on the assessment. On December&nbsp;1, 2000, a section of the lower Willamette River known as the
Portland Harbor was included on the National Priorities List (&#147;NPL&#148;) at the request of the EPA. The Portland Harbor Site includes &#147;all suitable areas in proximity to the contamination necessary for the implementation of the response
action&#148; including upland portions of the Site that contain sources of contamination to the sediments in the river. Our plant is not located on the Willamette River; it lies in what may be the uplands portion of the Portland Harbor Site. EPA and
ODEQ agreed to share responsibility for leading the investigation and cleanup of the Portland Harbor Site. ODEQ has the lead responsibility for conducting the upland work. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2001, groundwater containing elevated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was identified in one localized area of our property furthest from the river.
Assessment work in 2002 and 2003 to further characterize the groundwater is consistent with the initial conclusion that a source of the VOCs is located off site. There is no evidence at this time showing a connection between detected VOCs in
groundwater and Willamette River sediments. ODEQ recommended a remedial investigation and feasibility study for further evaluation of both groundwater and stormwater at the plant. On January&nbsp;25, 2005, ODEQ and we entered into a Voluntary
Agreement for Remedial Investigation and Source Control Measures. We completed the additional assessment </FONT>

the report indicate that VOCs in groundwater do not present an unacceptable risk to human or ecological receptors in the Willamette River, stormwater is appropriately managed under our NPDES permit and the risk assessment screening results justify a
No Further Action determination for the facility. The ODEQ review of this report is ongoing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">EPA and ODEQ notified us and 68 other parties
of potential liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (&#147;CERCLA&#148;) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (&#147;RCRA&#148;) with respect to the Portland Harbor Site. EPA and ODEQ
encouraged us and other notice recipients to voluntarily enter into negotiations to participate in a remedial investigation and feasibility study (&#147;RI/FS&#148;). The RI/FS is currently being directed by a group of potentially responsible
parties known as the Lower Willamette Group (&#147;LWG&#148;). We, along with several other parties, reached an Interim RI/FS settlement in February 2007. This agreement required us to make a payment of $175,000 in June&nbsp;2007 to the LWG. This
was an interim settlement only and does not obligate us to any further payment or liabilities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In November 2007, EPA invited the notice
recipients to a meeting in Portland to discuss the current status of the RI/FS and how that relates to the timing and scope of future negotiations concerning the cleanup of the Portland Harbor Site. At that meeting EPA stated that additional parties
would be notified of their potential responsibility. In January 2008, EPA sent notices to over two hundred additional parties bringing the total number of parties receiving notice from EPA to 280. At the same time, pursuant to CERCLA section 104(e),
EPA requested information concerning site history and operations from every notice recipient, including us. The responses to EPA are due May&nbsp;16, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Assessment for the Portland Harbor Site to determine the nature and extent of natural resource damages under CERCLA section 107. Natural resource damages focus on site restoration as opposed to actions to remove or remediate hazardous substances.
The Trustees for the Portland Harbor Site consist of representatives from six Northwest Indian Tribes and three federal agencies. The Trustees act independently of EPA and ODEQ but we expect their assessment will be coordinated with the RI/FS work

American manufacturer of large-diameter, high-pressure steel pipeline systems for use in water infrastructure applications, primarily related to drinking water systems. Our pipeline systems are also used for hydroelectric power systems, wastewater
systems and other applications. We also make products for industrial plant piping systems and certain structural applications. These pipeline systems are produced by our Water Transmission Group from six manufacturing facilities strategically
located across the United States in Portland, Oregon; Denver, Colorado; Adelanto, California; Parkersburg, West Virginia; Saginaw, Texas; and Pleasant Grove, Utah. Our Water Transmission Group accounted for approximately 72% of net sales in 2007.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our water infrastructure products are sold generally to installation contractors, who include our products in their bids to municipal
agencies or privately-owned water companies for specific projects. We believe our sales are substantially driven by spending on new water infrastructure with a recent trend towards spending on water infrastructure replacement, repair and upgrade.
Within the total pipeline, our products tend to fit the larger-diameter, higher-pressure applications. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Tubular Products Group operates
two manufacturing facilities in Atchison, Kansas, and Houston, Texas and produces a range of products used in several different markets. We currently make energy pipe, fire protection sprinkler pipe, agricultural pipe, traffic signpost systems and
structural pipe that is sold to distributors and used in many different applications. Our Tubular Products Group generated approximately 25% of our net sales in 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Tubular Products Group&#146;s sales volume is typically driven by non-residential construction spending, energy spending, highway spending and general economic conditions. In 2005 we began to shift the focus of
our Tubular Products Group to products for which we believe we have a sustainable advantage and to reduce our reliance on products which are very susceptible to import and price competition. This strategy resulted in lower volume in 2005, but in
2006 and 2007 we were able to increase this group&#146;s sales through growth in energy products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Fabricated Products Group generated
the remaining 3% of our net sales in 2007. Our Fabricated Products Group primarily produces propane tanks for distribution in rural and suburban areas of the United States. These tanks range in size from 120 gallons to 1,000 gallons. All of these

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Monterrey, Mexico facility. Overall demand for our Fabricated Products Group&#146;s propane tanks is primarily driven by weather patterns and residential
heating needs, construction activity, and general economic conditions. We have completed an expansion of this facility that added production space along with pipe blasting and painting capabilities. This expansion is targeted towards water
transmission fittings, which will be shifted from our other facilities to Mexico going forward. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Critical Accounting Policies </B></FONT></P> <P

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate all of our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranties, intangible assets,
accrued liabilities, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. 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 under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P> <P

contracts in our water transmission segment is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs of each contract. Estimated total costs of each contract are
reviewed on a monthly basis by project management and operations personnel for all projects that are fifty percent or more complete except that major projects, usually over $5.0 million, are reviewed earlier if sufficient production has been
completed to provide enough information to revise the original estimated total cost of the project. All cost revisions that result in the gross profit as a percent of sales increasing or decreasing by greater than two percent are reviewed by senior
management personnel. Contract costs include all 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. While certain contract costs are reported in the consolidated statements of income as selling, general and administrative costs, they are included in total contract costs incurred to date used in the
percentage-of-completion calculation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period such losses are known. Changes
in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, foreign currency exchange rate movements, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are
recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Historically, actual results have been within management&#146;s estimates. Management has discussed the development and selection of this critical accounting estimate with the audit
committee of our board of directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Revenue from our tubular products and fabricated products segments is recognized when all four of the
following criteria have been satisfied: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments and from contract disputes, based on management&#146;s judgment. The extension and revision of credit
is established by obtaining credit rating reports or financial information of a potential customer. Trade receivable balances are evaluated at least monthly. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation to us
as a result of a bankruptcy filing, deterioration in the customer&#146;s financial position, contract dispute, product claim or other similar events, a specific allowance is recorded to reduce the related receivable to the expected recovery amount
given all information presently available. A general allowance is recorded for all other customers based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with individual
customers. As of December&nbsp;31, 2007, the accounts receivable balance of $49.3 million is reported net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $1.1 million. We believe the reported allowances at December&nbsp;31, 2007, are adequate. If the
customers&#146; financial conditions were to deteriorate resulting in their inability to make payments, additional allowances may need to be recorded, which would result in additional selling, general and administrative expenses being recorded for
the period in which such determination was made. Historically, actual results have been within management&#146;s estimates. Management has discussed the development and selection of this critical accounting estimate with the audit committee of our
board of directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Goodwill: </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

&#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.&#148; SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We
review for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit that includes goodwill, as measured by discounted cash flows, market multiples based on earnings, and other valuation methodologies, to the carrying value. As required under

SIZE="2">Effective January&nbsp;1, 2006, we elected to change our accounting method related to depreciation of certain equipment from the straight-line method of depreciation to the units of production method of depreciation, which is considered a
preferable method of accounting for such long-lived, nonfinancial assets. We have determined this change to be preferable under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as it more accurately reflects the pattern of consumption
of the equipment. In accordance with SFAS 154, &#147;Accounting Changes and Error Corrections&#151;a replacement of APB Opinion No.&nbsp;20 and FASB Statement No.&nbsp;3,&#148; this change, accounted for as a change in estimate effected by a change
in accounting principle, has been applied prospectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144,
&#147;Accounting for the Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.&#148; We assess impairment of property and equipment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable. The recoverable value of
long-lived assets is determined by estimating future undiscounted cash flows using assumptions about our expected future operating performance. Our estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things,
technological changes, economic conditions, or changes to our business operations. If we determine the carrying value of the property and equipment will not be recoverable, we calculate and record an impairment loss. </FONT></P> <P

transaction costs, and the recognition of changes in the acquirer&#146;s income tax valuation allowance and deferred taxes. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2008, and is to be applied prospectively as of
the beginning of the fiscal year in which the statement is applied. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 141(R) on our financial position and results of operations when effective, but the nature and

items at fair value. SFAS 159 seeks to improve the overall quality of financial reporting by providing companies the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without
having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007. We do not anticipate that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial position or results
of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In September 2006 the FASB issued SFAS 157, &#147;Fair Value Measurements&#148; (&#147;SFAS 157&#148;). SFAS 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy
(i.e., levels 1, 2, and 3, as defined). Additionally, companies are required to provide enhanced disclosure regarding instruments in the level 3 category, including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances separately for each major
category of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position 157-2,
&#147;Effective Date of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;157&#148; (&#147;FSP 157-2&#148;) which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in

associated with potential foreign currency rate changes occurring between the contract date and the date when the payments are received. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures are offset by gains or losses on

control over financial reporting of Northwest Pipe Company and subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) as of December&nbsp;31, 2007, based on criteria established in <I>Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework</I> issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 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, included in the accompanying &#147;Management&#146;s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.&#148; Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting based on our
audit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We conducted our audit 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. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A company&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company&#146;s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company&#146;s board of directors,
management, and other personnel 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 (1)&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; (2)&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 (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because of the inherent limitations of internal
control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any
evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2007, based on the criteria established in <I>Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework</I> issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. </FONT></P> <P

each of two years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Northwest Pipe Company and its subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) at December&nbsp;31, 2006, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedule for each of the two years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule 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 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

facilities in Portland, Oregon; Denver, Colorado; Adelanto, California; Parkersburg, West Virginia; Saginaw, Texas; and Pleasant Grove, Utah. Tubular products manufacturing facilities are located in Portland, Oregon; Atchison, Kansas; Houston,

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at that time. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of its estimates, including those
related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranties, intangible assets, accrued liabilities, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Cash and Cash Equivalents </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

customers to make required payments and contract disputes, based on management&#146;s judgment. At least monthly, the Company reviews past due balances to identify the reasons for non-payment. If the past due amount results from a specific water
transmission project, a specific allowance is recorded to reduce the related receivable to the expected recovery amount given all information presently available. A general allowance is recorded for all other customers based on certain other factors
including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with individual customers. The Company will write off a receivable account once the account is deemed uncollectible. The Company believes the reported
allowances at December&nbsp;31, 2007 and 2006 are adequate. If the customers&#146; financial conditions were to deteriorate resulting in their inability to make payments, additional allowances may need to be recorded, which would result in
additional expenses being recorded for the period in which such determination was made. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Inventories </B></FONT></P> <P

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Effective January&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company elected to change its accounting method related to
depreciation of certain equipment from the straight-line method of depreciation to the units of production method of depreciation, which is considered a preferable method of accounting for such long-lived, nonfinancial assets. The Company has
determined this change to be preferable under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as it more accurately reflects the pattern of consumption of the equipment. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(&#147;SFAS&#148;) 154 &#147;Accounting Changes and Error Corrections&#151;a replacement of APB Opinion No.&nbsp;20 and FASB Statement No.&nbsp;3&#147; this change, accounted for as a change in estimate effected by a change in accounting principle,
has been applied prospectively. The impact of the change was a decrease in depreciation expense of $1.9 million during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, or $0.17 per diluted share. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

no longer amortized, but is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Based on its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of goodwill exists at December&nbsp;31, 2007 and 2006.

the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs of each contract. Estimated total costs are reviewed monthly and updated by project management and operations personnel for
all projects that are fifty percent or more complete, except that major projects, usually over $5.0 million, are reviewed earlier if sufficient production has been completed to provide enough information to revise the original estimated total cost
of the project. All cost revisions that result in the gross profit as a percent of sales increasing or decreasing by greater than two percent are reviewed by senior management personnel. Contract costs include all 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. While certain contract costs are reported in the
consolidated statements of income as selling, general and administrative costs, they are included in total contract costs incurred to date used in the percentage-of-completion calculation. See further discussion in Note 2. Provisions for estimated
losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period such estimated losses are known. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements
may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Revenue from the

included $801,000 and $285,000 for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, from the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost. Total cash flow remains unchanged from what would have been reported

Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements&#148; (&#147;SAB 108&#148;). SAB 108 established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effect of the misstatements on each of the

its provisions either by (i)&nbsp;restating prior financial statements as if the &#147;dual approach&#148; had always been used or (ii)&nbsp;recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the &#147;dual approach&#148; as adjustments to the
carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January&nbsp;1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company elected to record the effects of applying SAB 108 using the cumulative effect
transition method. The following table summarizes the effects of applying the guidance in SAB 108 through January&nbsp;1, 2006 (in thousands). Amounts shown reflect increases (decreases) in the related account balances: </FONT></P> <P

immaterial, individually and in the aggregate. With respect to accrued liabilities, the Company adjusted the workers&#146; compensation accrual to more closely align with estimates provided by an actuary in each of the periods prior to
January&nbsp;1, 2006, and adjusted property tax expense by $272,000 in 2005. With respect to inventory, the Company adjusted amounts that had previously been capitalized as inventoriable. With respect to property and equipment, net, the Company
expensed internal costs of constructing assets used in the manufacturing process that had previously been capitalized in error. Because of the errors described above, deferred and refundable income taxes required adjustment by $2.2 million related
to years prior to 2006. To record the initial application of SAB 108, the Company recorded a $3.4 million adjustment to decrease retained earnings at January&nbsp;1, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued SFAS 141(R), &#147;Business Combinations&#148; (&#147;SFAS 141(R)&#148;), which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize and measure all assets and liabilities assumed in the transaction
and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) also establishes guidance for the measurement of the acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of
contingent consideration, the accounting treatment for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs, and the recognition of changes in the acquirer&#146;s income tax valuation allowance and
deferred taxes. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2008, and is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the statement is applied. Early adoption is not permitted. The

and Financial Liabilities&#148; (&#147;SFAS 159&#148;). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 seeks to improve the overall quality of financial reporting by
providing companies the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years

framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy (i.e., levels 1, 2, and 3, as
defined). Additionally, companies are required to provide enhanced disclosure regarding instruments in the level 3 category, including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances separately for each major category of assets and
liabilities. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position 157-2, &#147;Effective Date of
FASB Statement No.&nbsp;157&#148; (&#147;FSP 157-2&#148;) which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements

unrealized gains or losses on these contracts are recorded in net income. The Company revalued the Canadian foreign currency forward contracts to fair market value at December&nbsp;31, 2007, and recorded resulting unrealized losses of $3.8 million.
Unrealized gains of $4.7 million were also included in net income as a result of the revaluation of Canadian sales contracts. The net effect of these unrealized gains and losses was a gain of $900,000. </FONT></P> <P

employees. The non-qualified plan matches up to 50% of employee contributions to the plan, subject to certain limitations. It also provides a Company funded component for the officers with a retirement target fund. The retirement target fund amount
is an actuarially estimated amount necessary to provide 35% of final base pay after a 35-year career with the Company or 1% of final base pay per year of service. The actual benefit, however, assumes an investment growth at 8%&nbsp;per year. Should
the investment growth be greater than 8%, the benefit will be more, but if it is less than 8%, the amount will be less and the Company does not make up any deficiency. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company also has two noncontributory defined benefit plans, a union and a salaried benefit plan. Both plans are frozen, and participants are fully vested in their accrued benefits as of the date each plan was
frozen. No additional participants can be added to the plans and no additional service can be earned by participants subsequent to date the plans were frozen. Benefits under the union pension plan are based upon a flat benefit formula, while
benefits under the salaried benefit plan are based upon a final pay formula. The funding policy for each noncontributory defined benefit plan is based on current plan costs plus amortization of the unfunded plan liability. All current employees
covered by these plans are now covered by the defined contribution retirement plan. As of December&nbsp;31, 2007 the Company had recorded, in accordance with the actuarial valuation, a prepaid benefit cost of $511,000 and an unrecognized actuarial
loss, net of tax of $1.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December&nbsp;31, 2006, the Company had recorded a prepaid benefit cost of $231,000 and an accrued pension liability of $89,000, and an unrecognized actuarial loss,
net of tax of $1.7 million in accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, as of December&nbsp;31, 2007 and 2006, the accumulated benefit obligation was $4.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and the fair value of plan assets was $5.1

stock. Subject to the terms of the Plan and upon the occurrence of certain events, each Right would entitle the holder to purchase common stock of the Company, or of an acquiring company in certain circumstances, having a market value equal to two

Company&#146;s plant located at 12005 N. Burgard in Portland, Oregon. The purpose of the assessment was to determine whether the plant has contributed to sediment contamination in the Willamette River. The Company entered into a Voluntary Letter
Agreement with ODEQ in mid-August 2000, and began working on the assessment. On December&nbsp;1, 2000, a section of the lower Willamette River known as the Portland Harbor was included on the National Priorities List (&#147;NPL&#148;) at the request
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (&#147;EPA&#148;). The Portland Harbor Site includes &#147;all suitable areas in proximity to the contamination necessary for the implementation of the response action&#148; including upland portions of
the Site that contain sources of contamination to the sediments in the river. The Company&#146;s plant is not located on the Willamette River; it lies in what may be the uplands portion of the Portland Harbor Site. EPA and ODEQ agreed to share
responsibility for leading the investigation and cleanup of the Portland Harbor Site. ODEQ has the lead responsibility for conducting the upland work. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

showing a connection between detected VOCs in groundwater and Willamette River sediments. ODEQ recommended a remedial investigation and feasibility study for further evaluation of both groundwater and stormwater at the plant. On January&nbsp;25,
2005, ODEQ and the Company entered into a Voluntary Agreement for Remedial Investigation and Source Control Measures. The Company completed the additional assessment work required by the Agreement and submitted a Remedial Investigation/Source
Control Evaluation Report to ODEQ on December&nbsp;30, 2005. The conclusions of the report indicate that VOCs in groundwater do not present an unacceptable risk to human or ecological receptors in the Willamette River, stormwater is appropriately
managed under the Company&#146;s NPDES permit and the risk assessment screening results justify a No Further Action determination for the facility. The ODEQ review of this report is ongoing. </FONT></P> <P

participate in a remedial investigation and feasibility study (&#147;RI/FS&#148;). The RI/FS is currently being directed by a group of potentially responsible parties known as the Lower Willamette Group (&#147;LWG&#148;). The Company, along with
several other parties, reached an Interim RI/FS settlement in February 2007. This agreement required the Company to make a payment of $175,000 in June&nbsp;2007 to the LWG. This was an interim settlement only and does not obligate the Company to any
further payment or liabilities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In November 2007, EPA invited the notice recipients to a meeting in Portland to discuss the current status
of the RI/FS and how that relates to the timing and scope of future negotiations concerning the cleanup of the Portland Harbor Site. At that meeting EPA stated that additional parties would be notified of their potential responsibility. In January
2008, EPA sent notices to over two hundred additional parties bringing the total number of parties receiving notice from EPA to 280. At the same time, pursuant to CERCLA section 104(e), EPA requested information concerning site history and
operations from every notice recipient, including the Company. The responses to EPA are due May&nbsp;16, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Concurrent with the
activities of EPA and ODEQ, the Portland Harbor Natural Resources Trustee Council (&#147;Trustees&#148;) sent some or all of the same parties, including the Company, a notice of intent to perform an Injury Assessment for the Portland Harbor Site to
determine the nature and extent of natural resource damages under CERCLA section 107. Natural resource damages focus on site restoration as opposed to actions to remove or remediate hazardous substances. The Trustees for the Portland Harbor Site
consist of representatives from six Northwest Indian Tribes and three federal agencies. The Trustees act independently of EPA and ODEQ but the Company expects their assessment will be coordinated with the RI/FS work underway at the Portland Harbor
Site. The Trustees have encouraged potentially responsible parties to voluntarily participate in the funding of their injury assessment. The Company has not assumed any payment obligation or liability related to the Trustee&#146;s assessment.
