ITEM 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 “Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43 to require idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 151 effective January 1, 2006.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining the effect the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial statements.

In September, 2006 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Qualifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by the Company in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September, 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“FAS 158”). FAS 158 requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and the disclosure requirements are effective for the Company in 2007. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations is effective for the Company in 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of FAS 158 will have on its financial statements.

NOTE B — INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs for substantially all inventories are determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, with the remainder determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimate of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.

The major components of inventories are as follows: (net of LIFO reserves)

	September 30,		December 31,
(Thousands of dollars)	2006		2005
Raw materials and in-process	$	24,369	$	29,187

Total inventories	$	50,834	$	52,403

NOTE C — PRODUCT WARRANTIES

A liability is established for estimated future warranty and service claims based on historical claim experience and specific product failures. The Company expenses warranty costs directly to cost of products sold. Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability are as follows:

Settlements		(1,456	)		(965	)
Balance at end of quarter	$	1,329		$	851

NOTE D – INCOME TAXES

Favorable reductions in estimated state tax liabilities and federal research and development tax credits resulted in reduced income taxes from 2005 levels by $459,000 and $559,000, respectively, and accounted for an 11.6% reduction in the effective tax rate for the quarter ending September 30, 2006 and a 4.2% reduction in the effective tax rate for the nine months ending September 30, 2006. The effective income tax rate was 24.6% and 37.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively; and 31.2% and 37.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

(Thousands of Dollars)	2006		2005		$ Change		% Change
Net Sales	$	70,833	$	58,980	$	11,853		20.1	%

The record sales for the quarter, representing a 20.1% increase from the third quarter of 2005, were primarily due to organic sales growth in fire protection and centrifugal pump sales, increases in component sales to the power generation market, and continued growth in international markets. At Patterson Pump Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, fire protection pump sales grew $2,700,000 primarily due to increased international sales; additionally, fabricated component sales to the power generation market increased $2,500,000 over third quarter 2005 levels. Centrifugal pump sales at Patterson also increased $4,800,000.

% of Sales		76.6	%		80.7	%		—		(4.1	)

The 13.9% increase in cost of products sold in the third quarter 2006 from 2005 was primarily due to the higher sales volume, which resulted in increased material costs and hourly labor costs of $4,420,000 and $838,000, respectively. Health insurance costs increased $622,000 due to

increased claims and higher medical costs. Expenses related to the Company’s employee profit sharing plan increased $354,000 as a result of higher operating income. The 4.1% reduction in cost of products sold as a percent of net sales was primarily related to increased efficiencies on volume related costs at the Company’s production facilities resulting from increased production levels.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

	September 30,
(Thousands of Dollars)	2006			2005			$ Change		% Change

% of Sales		11.5	%		12.1	%		—		(0.6	)

The 14.8% increase in SG&A expense is primarily due to increased professional fees of $256,000 related to the timing and outsourcing of auditing, consulting and additional tax related services. Additionally, increased expenses related to the Company’s employee profit sharing plan of $236,000 were a result of higher operating income. Salaries increased $229,000 due to staffing of open positions that were unfilled in 2005 and normal salary increases. The 0.6% decrease in SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales for 2006 was primarily due to the additional sales volume.

Net Income

	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
(Thousands of Dollars)	2006			2005			$ Change		% Change
Income before income taxes	$	8,772		$	4,246		$	4,526		106.6	%

% of Sales		9.3	%		4.5	%		—		4.8
Earnings per share	$	0.62		$	0.25		$	0.37		148.0	%

Income before income taxes for the third quarter 2006 was $8,772,000 compared to $4,246,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $4,526,000 or 106.6%. Income taxes were $2,160,000 in 2006 compared to $1,571,000 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $589,000 or 37.5%. Higher income taxes were a direct result of increased profits during the quarter; partially offset by favorable reductions in estimated state tax liabilities and federal research and development tax credits. These items reduced income taxes from 2005 levels by $459,000 and $559,000, respectively, and accounted for an 11.6% reduction in the effective tax rate for the quarter and increasing earnings per share by $0.10.

Net income for the third quarter 2006 was $6,612,000 compared to $2,675,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $3,937,000 or 147.2%. As a percent of net sales, net income was 9.3% for 2006 compared to 4.5% in 2005.

(Thousands of Dollars)	2006		2005		$ Change		% Change
Net Sales	$	205,825	$	167,126	$	38,699		23.2	%

The record sales for the nine months, representing a 23.2% increase over the nine months ended September 30, 2005, were primarily due to organic sales growth in fire protection and centrifugal pump sales, increases in component sales to the power generation market, and continued growth in international markets. At Patterson Pump Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, fire protection pump sales grew $13,750,000 primarily due to increased international sales; additionally, fabricated components sales to the power generation market increased $8,300,000 over 2005 levels. Sales of centrifugal pumps at Patterson also increased $8,300,000.

The 18.8% increase in cost of products sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 2005 was principally due to the higher sales volume. The 2.8% reduction in cost of products sold as a percent of net sales was primarily related to increased efficiencies on volume related costs at the Company’s production facilities resulting from increased production levels. Material costs and hourly labor costs increased $18,114,000 and $3,150,000, respectively, to support the higher sales volume. Health insurance costs increased $767,000 due to increased claims and higher medical costs. Expenses related to the Company’s employee profit sharing plan increased $1,161,000 as a result of higher operating income, and warranty costs increased $521,000 due to estimates related to higher sales volumes.

The 9.6% increase in SG&A expense was principally due to increased expenses related to the Company’s employee profit sharing plan of $774,000 as a result of higher operating income. Increased professional fees of $792,000 were related to the timing and outsourcing of auditing, consulting and additional tax related services. Partially offsetting this increase was a reduction in advertising expense of $690,000 due to attendance at a trade show in 2005 which is held every three years. The 1.5% decrease as a percent of net sales for 2006 was primarily due to the additional sales volume.

Income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $24,203,000 compared to $12,168,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $12,035,000 or 98.9%. The effective income tax rate used was 31.2% in 2006 and 37.0% in 2005. Increased income taxes were a direct result of increased profits during the nine months; partially offset by favorable reductions in estimated state tax liabilities and federal research and development tax credits. These items reduced the effective taxes from 2005 levels by $459,000 and $559,000, respectively, and accounted for a 4.2% reduction in the effective tax rate for the nine months and increasing earnings per share by $0.10. Additional reductions in the effective tax rate were a result of favorable federal and state tax legislation.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $16,649,000 compared to $7,666,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $8,983,000 or 117.2%. As a percent of net sales, net income was 8.1% in 2006 and 4.6% in 2005. The Company had record earnings per share of $1.56 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $0.72 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $0.84 per share.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months in 2006 was $19,423,000 compared to $5,138,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $14,285,000. The increase was primarily attributable to increased net income of $8,983,000 and reduced inventory growth resulting in a net increase of $14,434,000. These items were partially offset by increased income taxes of $5,410,000 resulting from higher estimated tax payments.

Cash used for investing activities during the first nine months in 2006 was $7,038,000 compared to $4,537,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $2,501,000. Investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted of capital additions of $4,409,000 and investment of $2,553,000 in short-term investments.

The Company has allocated $2,450,000 for site preparation regarding possible future expansion to a manufacturing facility in Mansfield, Ohio. At this time, the Company has not determined when it would proceed with construction, which would be an addition to a manufacturing facility completed in 2000.

Financing activities consisted of payments for dividends, which were $4,488,000 and $4,487,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company continues to finance its capital expenditures and working capital requirements principally through internally generated funds, available unsecured lines of credit from several banks and proceeds from short-term investments. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.2 to 1 at September 30, 2006 and 4.0 to 1 at September 30, 2005.

The Company presently has adequate working capital and borrowing capacity and a strong liquidity position.
