(NASDAQ: MFRI) announced today the signing of a definitive agreement to sell the domestic assets of its subsidiary, Thermal Care, Inc. to IPEG, Inc.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#32;&#32;The transaction is scheduled to close on April 30, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.  Thermal Care, Inc. designs, manufactures and sells industrial process cooling equipment, including chillers, cooling towers, plant circulating systems, and related accessories for use in plastic processing and general industrial process applications.  In the year ended January 31, 2013, Thermal Care sales represented approximately 16% of MFRI, Inc.'s total sales.  MFRI, Inc. plans to release its operating results for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 next week.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">MFRI CEO Bradley Mautner said: &#8220;We established Thermal Care in the 1960's to provide cooling solutions for the rapidly emerging plastics processing industry.  Since that time the company has become a leader in water auxiliaries for the US plastics industry and offers a variety of products to serve additional industrial process cooling needs, such as lasers and heat treating applications.  Although we have nurtured Thermal Care from the beginning and are very proud of its contributions, we have made the strategic decision to focus our resources on our two other principal segments, Piping Systems and Filtration products.  The transaction with IPEG, another leading brand supplier to the plastics industry is a perfect fit for both companies.  It provides expanded opportunities for our Thermal Care team as they bring their expertise to IPEG's family of products and the manufacturing of Thermal Care products will continue in our existing facility in Niles, Illinois.  I also want to acknowledge all of the Thermal Care employees for their efforts in making the company the industry leader that it has become.  I am sure that as part of IPEG they will continue with their passion for making the best products in the industry.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">IPEG CEO Chris Keller commented: &#8220;This acquisition is consistent with IPEG's multi-brand, multi-channel strategy.  It is an investment that will offer a tremendous growth opportunity for both Thermal Care and our existing Conair brand.  Together, both companies will have over 20 full time engineers focused on heat transfer equipment.  Ultimately, this benefits our customers through the development of new technology and a broader range of choices in heat transfer equipment, combined with deep system solutions expertise.  I am very pleased to welcome the highly professional and skilled Thermal Care employees to the IPEG family.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">MFRI, Inc. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">is a multi-line company engaged in the following businesses: pre-insulated specialty piping systems for district heating and cooling; oil and gas gathering and transportation and other applications; custom-designed industrial filtration products to remove particulates from dry gas streams; and installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning for large buildings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">IPEG</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">, a private Pennsylvania based company, is a family of world-leading products serving the global plastics and recycling markets.

(NASDAQ: MFRI)- announced today sales and earnings for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 (&#8220;2012&#8221;).  The Company's sales in 2012 were $212 million, a decrease of 9% from $233 million last year; net loss in 2012 was $18.5 million or $2.67 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $5 million or $0.72 per diluted share, in 2011.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets.  This resulted in a $12.5 million non-cash charge.   The Company also recorded a non-cash $1.5 million asset impairment charge, together making up $2.03 of the loss per share in 2012.  Before non-cash charges described above, the net loss was $4.5 million compared to net loss of $5 million in 2011.  Increased professional costs and filtration products' decrease in gross profit contributed to the increased loss.  This was partially offset by piping systems' increase in gross profit.  Backlog, at the end of 2012, increased by 78% over prior year.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">FISCAL YEAR ENDED 1/31/2013</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">SALES - </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Net sales were $212 million in 2012, a decrease of 9% from $233.5 million in 2011.  Reduced market demand for fabric filters led to a decrease of $14.6 million in filtration products.  Piping systems sales decreased $7.3 million, driven by a decline in U.S. sales in the second and third quarters partially offset by an increase in sales in the Middle East.  Corporate and other sales decreased by $4.6 million due to customer decisions to extend project completion dates.  Industrial process cooling sales increased $5 million as order intake continued to improve.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">GROSS PROFIT - </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Despite the decrease in sales, gross margin improved by 2 percentage points to 18% of net sales compared to 16% of net sales in 2011.  Gross profit of $38.1 million in 2012 increased 5% from $36.3 million in 2011.  Gross profit increased significantly in piping systems due to higher volume from the plant in the United Arab Emirates and from strong sales in industrial process cooling while filtration products gross profit decreased due to lower demand.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">EXPENSES </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">- Operating expenses increased 9.6% to $45.4 million from $41.4 million. The primary increase was a $1.5 million non-cash charge related to the fixed asset impairment of an idle facility in the filtration products business.  Strategic consulting, audit and tax consulting increased a total of $1.5 million.  Start-up costs for the Saudi Arabia facility amounted to $0.9 million.  Industrial process cooling added staff and increased management incentive compensation expense related to improved performance.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">TAXES -</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#32;The Company recorded non-cash tax expenses of $10.8 million, which included the full valuation allowance of $12.5 million on the domestic deferred tax assets.  A portion of this valuation allowance will be reversed in 2013 when the sale of Thermal Care's assets has been recorded.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">NET LOSS -</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#32;Before non-cash charges described above, the net loss was $4.5 million compared to net loss of $5 million in 2011.

Arabia for the last two years.  In April 2012, the Company opened the new factory in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.  Since November 2012, the Company has announced receipt of several orders totaling approximately $50 million primarily for two landmark projects in Saudi Arabia: the Grand Mosque in Mecca and the King Abdul-Aziz International Airport in Jeddah.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Sales volume at the Company's domestic facilities declined, reflecting the adverse effect from the continuing decrease in federal and state spending for government funded construction activity in the U.S.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">FILTRATION PRODUCTS </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">- Reduced market demand for fabric filters led to a decrease in filtration product sales.  Filtration products gained some sizeable orders for the coming 24 months, resulting in a backlog increase of 78% over the prior year period.  Of the $26 million in backlog, approximately $12 million of those orders are scheduled for delivery in 2014.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">INDUSTRIAL PROCESS COOLING </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">- This segment showed improvements in net sales of 16 % over prior year and more than doubled its income from operations.  On April 26, 2013, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell the domestic assets of its subsidiary Thermal Care, Inc. to IPEG, Inc.  The transaction closed on April 30, 2013.  Upon closing, the Company transferred the applicable assets, liabilities and employees of the business to the buyer.  In future periods, industrial process cooling will be reported as a discontinued operation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Brad Mautner, President and CEO, said</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">, &#8220;The information in our 2012 annual report filing, this press release and our recent announcement of the sale of the U.S. assets of our Thermal Care business describe an important time for our Company.  We have taken the strategic decision to focus our resources on our two large reportable segments: filtration products and piping systems.  From an operating standpoint, we are largely a project driven company.  Therefore, the dramatic 78% growth in backlog, not including the additional orders won during the first quarter this year will take time to turn into sales and profits.  Fiscal 2012 was difficult operationally, as extremely weak market demand for fabric filters continued and we built backlog in piping, but did not yet realize the benefits.  We expect to realize these benefits in 2013 and are working actively to size the fabric filter business to the lower demand expected in the near term.  There are also programs now under way to lower manufacturing costs, improve working capital turns and control capital expenses.  However, based on the recent results, accounting rules require us to record the large non-cash impairments that resulted in 75% of the reported loss per share for the year.  I fully expect that we will perform in our core businesses at a level that will ultimately make use of tax benefits that have now been fully reserved.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s7AB060798F75997C4F005BDFDEC162A6"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">This year also contained some unusual expenses for audit, tax consulting and other professional services related to our strategic initiatives to drive improved operating performance in filtration and piping systems.  Additionally, we invested nearly $1 million in startup costs for Saudi Arabia in 2012.  It has taken two years of development and investment, but we have now transitioned from the startup phase to being fully operational. Therefore, those costs will not recur and we expect profitable revenue to begin this year.  The momentum we have built is important, and we are focused on getting the most out of our opportunities this year.  We also know that in order to drive ongoing profitable growth, we must explore new product initiatives, geographical expansion opportunities and alliances to further enhance our future for 2014 and beyond.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Bradley Mautner continued: &#8220;The decision to generate and redeploy capital from the sale of Thermal Care U.S. assets was not an easy one.  It is a business started by the predecessor of MFRI in the 1960's, and it has generally been a steady contributor to the Company.  More recently, the team led by Steve Buck did an excellent job of managing its recovery from the deep and lengthy recession that began in 2008.  As we studied the various choices to support our emerging growth initiatives and larger market places, it became apparent that this was the appropriate choice for MFRI and our shareholders.  We appreciate the efforts of the Thermal Care team and know they will bring a strong level of expertise and professionalism to complement IPEG's portfolio. We certainly wish them all the best going forward.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">MFRI, Inc.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#32;is a multi-line company engaged in the following businesses: pre-insulated specialty piping systems for oil and gas gathering, district heating and cooling and other applications; custom-designed industrial filtration products to remove particulates from dry gas streams; and installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning for large buildings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Form 10-K</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">for the period ended January 31, 2013 will be accessible at &lt;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;color:#0000ff;text-decoration:underline;">http://www.sec.gov/</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&gt;.
