NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  It also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of the fair value measurements on earnings.  SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)”. SFAS No. 158 requires that we recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of our pension plans (the Plans) as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet, with changes in the funded status recognized through other comprehensive income in the year in which they occur, effective for our fiscal years beginning after February 1, 2006.  SFAS No. 158 also requires us to measure the funded status of the Plans as of the year end consolidated balance sheet date, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.  The impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 resulted in a decrease in the pension liabilities and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $1.1 million, prior to any deferred tax adjustment, in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, and an increase in pension liabilities and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $7.6 million, prior to any deferred tax adjustment, in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

In October 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of SFAS No. 109”.  FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  FIN No. 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  In addition, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  The provisions of FIN No. 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard.  Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity) for the fiscal year.  The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company adopted FIN No. 48 effective February 1, 2007.  See Note 7 on page 9 for further information.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”.  This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree.  SFAS No. 141(R) also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred.  With respect to the Company, SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after February 1, 2009.  We expect SFAS No. 141(R) will have an impact on accounting for future acquisitions by the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”.  This statement requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).  This Statement shall be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.


NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Met-Pro Corporation (“Met-Pro” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mefiag B.V., Met-Pro Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies Inc., Strobic Air Corporation, MPC Inc., Pristine Water Solutions Inc., Mefiag (Guangzhou) Filter Systems Ltd., and Met-Pro (Hong Kong) Limited Company.  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


NOTE 3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2009 and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009.


NOTE 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options:

We grant stock options to our officers and directors, typically in December of each year.  On December 3, 2008, December 10, 2007 and December 15, 2006, the Company issued 206,600, 215,800 and 238,667 stock options, respectively, with one-third exercisable one year from the grant date and the remaining two-thirds vesting two and three years from the grant date, respectively.  In the event of a “change of control”, any unvested options shall become immediately exercisable. Typically, the duration of options is for up to ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination under various conditions.  On March 27, 2009, the Company issued 5,000 stock options, fully exercisable on the grant date for a three year period. The fair value of options that we grant is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis over its respective vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures.  We estimate the fair value of options as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The per share fair value weighted-averages at the date of grant for stock options granted during the fiscal years ending January 31, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $2.01, $3.41, $3.06 and $3.02 per option, respectively.

The application of this valuation model relies on the following assumptions that are judgmental and sensitive in the determination of the compensation expense:


 
Three Months Ended

29%
 Dividend yield
1.86% - 2.80%

Historical information was the principal basis for the selection of the expected term and dividend yield. The expected volatility is based on a weighted-average combination of historical and implied volatilities over a time period that approximates the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon the U.S. Treasury Bill rates in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on February 1, 2007. Previously, the Company accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. As required by FIN No. 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied FIN No. 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open.

As of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of $40,000 to account for federal and state tax matters in the United States of which approximately $5,000 was accrued for the payment of interest and penalties through January 31, 2009.  As of April 30, 2009 the Company re-evaluated its position with regards to the current federal and state tax matters in the United States and has determined that there has been no changes in tax positions which would impact the unrecognized tax benefit of $40,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against the potential impact on earnings from increases in market interest rates.  Effective April 3, 2006, the Company entered into a fifteen-year interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount equal to the balance on the bond payable maturing April 2021.  The Company swapped the ninety-day LIBOR for a fixed rate of 4.87%.  As of April 30, 2009 the effective fixed interest rate was 5.95% as a result of the swap agreement plus the interest rate floor provision of 250 basis points.  The interest rate swap agreement is accounted for as fair value hedge that qualifies for treatment under the short-cut method of measuring effectiveness in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”.   There was no hedge ineffectiveness as of April 30, 2009.  The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement resulted in a decrease in equity of $201,258 (net of tax) at April 30, 2009 and a decrease in equity of $223,151 (net of tax) at January 31, 2009.  These results are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) section of shareholders’ equity.

The bank has issued and has outstanding standby letters of credit to customers totaling $601,209 as of April 30, 2009, which expire during the fiscal years ending January 31, 2010 and 2011 in the amounts of $454,190 and $147,019, respectively.

NOTE 12 – BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA

The segment discussion outlined below represents the segment structure as determined by management in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

As reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of January 31, 2009, the Company has five operating segments which are aggregated into three reportable segments: Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies, Fluid Handling Technologies and Mefiag Filtration Technologies, and one other segment (Filtration/Purification Technologies). The Filtration/Purification Technologies segment is comprised of two operating segments that do not meet the criteria for aggregation outlined in SFAS No. 131. The Company’s analysis is that SFAS No. 131 permits the aggregation of operating segments if, individually, each operating segment does not meet any of the following quantitative thresholds: (i) reported revenue is 10% or more of combined revenue of all reported operating segments, (ii) the absolute amount of reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater, in absolute amounts, of either the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or the combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss, and (iii) its assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.  As of the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009, none of the operating segments included in the Filtration/Purification Technologies segment met these criteria, and at least 75% of total consolidated revenue is included in the Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies, Fluid Handling Technologies and Mefiag Filtration reporting segments; therefore the Company determined the aggregation of these operating segments into this other segment was appropriate under SFAS No. 131.

The Company expects, based upon the current financial performance of its business units, the segmentation reporting will continue to be presented in future periods using the three reportable segments and the one other segment.

The following is a description of each segment:

Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies: This reportable segment consists of one operating segment that manufactures products for the purification of air or liquids.  Many of these products are custom designed and engineered to solve a customer’s pollution control or product recovery issues.  The products are sold worldwide through Company sales personnel and a network of manufacturer’s representatives.  This reporting segment is comprised of the Duall, Systems, Flex-Kleen, Met-Pro Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies Inc. and Strobic Air business units.

Fluid Handling Technologies: This reportable segment consists of one operating segment that manufactures high quality centrifugal pumps that are suitable for difficult applications including the pumping of acids, brines, caustics, bleaches, seawater, high temperature liquids and a wide variety of waste liquids.  A variety of pump configurations make these products adaptable to almost any pumping application.  These products are sold worldwide through an extensive network of distributors.  This reporting segment is comprised of the Dean Pump, Fybroc and Sethco business units.

Mefiag Filtration Technologies:  This reportable segment consists of one operating segment that produces filter systems using horizontal disc technology for tough, corrosive applications in the plating, metal finishing and printing industries.  These products are sold worldwide through Company sales personnel and a network of distributors.  This reporting segment is comprised of the Mefiag USA, Mefiag B.V. and Mefiag (Guangzhou) Filter Systems Ltd. business units.

Filtration/Purification Technologies: This other segment consists of two operating segments that produce the following products: proprietary chemicals for the treatment of municipal drinking water systems and boiler and cooling tower systems; cartridges and filter housings; and filtration products for difficult industrial air and liquid applications.  This other segment is comprised of the Keystone Filter and Pristine Water Solutions operating segments.

Margolis & Company P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accountants, has performed a limited review of the financial information included herein. Their report on such review accompanies this filing.

To the Board of Directors
Met-Pro Corporation
Harleysville, Pennsylvania

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Met-Pro Corporation as of April 30, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet of Met-Pro Corporation as of January 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 20, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2009 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Three Months Ended April 30, 2009 vs. Three Months Ended April 30, 2008:

Net sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 were $19,641,008 compared with $22,656,474 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of $3,015,466 or 13.3%.

Sales in the Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies reporting segment were $7,569,982, or $1,934,810 lower than the $9,504,792 of sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 20.4%.  The sales decrease in the Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies reporting segment was due primarily to lower sales for our thermal and catalytic oxidation equipment, our chemical and biological odor control systems and our particulate collection equipment, as a result of a global slowdown which is causing delays between quotation and order placement for larger capital projects on account of customer capital spending plans being resized or put on hold.

Sales in the Fluid Handling Technologies reporting segment totaled $6,978,462, or $10,121 lower than the $6,988,583 of sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 0.1% due to a decrease in demand for our centrifugal pumps that handle a broad range of industrial applications.

Sales in the Mefiag Filtration Technologies reporting segment were $2,487,250, or $767,905 lower than the $3,255,155 of sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 23.6%.  The sales decrease in the Mefiag Filtration Technologies reporting segment was due to a decreased demand for our horizontal disc filter systems, attributable primarily to a slowdown in the automotive and housing industries served by this segment.

Sales in the Filtration/Purification Technologies segment were $2,605,314, or $302,630 lower than the $2,907,944 of sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 10.4%.  This decrease was due primarily to decreased demand for our filters, cartridges and filter housings designed for industrial and residential air and liquid filtration applications, as a result of a general weakness in the markets served due to the global economic slowdown.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations continued…

The Company’s backlog of orders totaled $14,510,283 and $22,803,686 as of April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  This reflects a decrease in new orders received during the quarter, although the rate of the Company’s bookings of new orders varies from month to month.  Orders have varying delivery schedules, and as of any particular date, the Company’s backlog may not be predictive of actual revenues for any succeeding specific period, in part due to potential customer requested delays in delivery of which the extent and duration may vary widely from period to period.  We have also observed a trend over the last several years where larger projects are more frequently booked and shipped in the same quarter in which we received the customer purchase order due to improved project execution and shorter lead times, resulting in such projects not appearing in publicly disclosed annual or quarterly backlog figures.  Additionally, the Company’s customers typically have the right to cancel a given order, although the Company has historically experienced a very low rate of cancellation.  The Company expects that substantially all of the backlog that existed as of April 30, 2009 will be shipped during the current fiscal year.

Income from operations for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 was $1,472,109 compared with $2,696,229 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of $1,224,120, or 45.4%.

Income from operations in the Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies reporting segment was $145,203, or $747,048 lower than the $892,251 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 83.7%.  The decrease in income from operations in the Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies reporting segment was primarily related to lower sales and gross margins of our particulate collection equipment and lower sales of our chemical and biological odor control systems.

Income from operations in the Fluid Handling Technologies reporting segment totaled $1,306,005, or $73,949 lower than the $1,379,954 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 5.4%.

Income (loss) from operations in the Mefiag Filtration Technologies reporting segment totaled ($15,403), or $174,531 lower than the $159,128 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 109.7%.  The decrease in income from operations in the Mefiag Filtration Technologies reporting segment was due to lower sales of our horizontal disc filter systems.

Income from operations in the Filtration/Purification Technologies segment was $36,304 or $228,592 lower than the $264,896 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 86.3%.  The decrease in income from operations in the Filtration/Purification Technologies segment was related to decreased sales and lower gross margins of our filters, cartridges, filter housings and filtration products.

Net income for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 was $952,449 compared with $1,925,645 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of $973,196, or 50.5%.

The gross margin for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008 was 35.7% and 33.5%, respectively.  Gross margins in our Product Recovery/Pollution Control, Fluid Handling and Mefiag Filtration Technologies reporting segments were higher than the same period last year, partially offset by lower gross margins in the Filtration/Purification Technologies segment as compared with the same period last year.

Selling expense was $2,528,532 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $276,456 compared with the first quarter of last year.  This increase was primarily due to higher representative and distributor commission expense as well as the prior year’s first quarter expenses being reduced by $300,000 in proceeds from the settlement of a dispute.  Selling expense as a percentage of net sales was 12.9% for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 compared with 9.9% for the same period last year.  Selling expense may vary quarter-to-quarter, in part as a result of variations which result in some sales being commissionable and others not.

General and administrative expense was $3,012,327 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 compared with $2,643,919 for the same period last year, an increase of $368,408.  This increase was primarily related to higher healthcare, pension, and stock option expenses.  General and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was 15.3% for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009, compared with 11.7% for the same period last year.

Interest expense was $53,823 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009, compared with $65,061 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $11,238.  This decrease was due principally to a reduction in long-term debt.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations continued…

Other income, net, was $13,965 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 compared with $175,815 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $161,850.  Other income, net, consisted primarily of interest income, which was affected by a decrease in interest rates.

The effective tax rates for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 were 33.5% and 31.4%, respectively.  The change in the effective tax rate between the three-month periods was a result of first quarter 2008 having a 33.5% effective tax rate for normal operations, offset by an adjustment of 2.1% due to a reevaluation of the Company’s FIN No. 48 accrual.


Liquidity:

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $26,446,717 on April 30, 2009 compared with $21,749,653 on January 31, 2009, an increase of $4,697,064.  This increase is the net result of the positive cash flows provided by operating activities of $5,948,583 and proceeds from a new borrowing of $485,336, offset by payment of the quarterly cash dividends amounting to $876,007, payments on long-term debt totaling $104,440, and the investment in property and equipment amounting to $797,497.  The Company’s cash flows from operating activities are influenced, in part, by the timing of shipments and negotiated standard payment terms, including retention associated with major projects, as well as other factors including changes in inventories and accounts receivable balances.

Accounts receivable (net) totaled $14,522,548 on April 30, 2009 compared with $20,177,672 on January 31, 2009, which represents a decrease of $5,655,124.  This reflects the lower sales for the current fiscal quarter, although the timing and size of shipments and retainage on contracts, especially in the Product Recovery/Pollution Control Technologies reporting segment, also will, among other factors, influence accounts receivable balances at any given point in time.

Inventories were $20,684,278 on April 30, 2009 compared with $20,236,865 on January 31, 2009, an increase of $447,413.   This increase is primarily attributable to inventory purchased during the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 for projects which are expected to ship in the next six-month period.  Inventory balances fluctuate depending on market demand and the timing and size of shipments, especially when major systems and contracts are involved.

Current liabilities amounted to $11,146,453 on April 30, 2009, compared with $12,239,667 on January 31, 2009, a decrease of $1,093,214.  This reduction is due to decreases in accounts payable and accrued salaries, wages and expenses, offset by an increase in the current portion of long-term debt.

The Company has consistently maintained a high current ratio and it and its subsidiaries maintain uncommitted domestic and foreign lines of credit totaling $4,396,900, all of which are available for working capital purposes, except for $396,900 outstanding as of April 30, 2009 borrowed by the Company’s Mefiag B.V. subsidiary in the fiscal year 2006 to partially finance an expansion and renovation of its facility located in The Netherlands.  Cash flows, in general, have exceeded the current needs of the Company.  The Company presently foresees no change in this situation in the immediate future.  As of April 30, 2009 and January 31, 2009, working capital was $52,229,608 and $51,922,065, respectively, and the current ratio was 5.7 and 5.2, respectively.


Capital Resources and Requirements:

Cash flows provided by operating activities during the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 amounted to $5,948,583 compared with $4,774,983 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, an increase of $1,173,600.  This increase in cash flows from operating activities, as compared with the same period last year, was due principally to decreases in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and deposits and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by increases in other assets and decreases in customers’ advances.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 amounted to $778,615 compared with cash used in investing activities of $404,379 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, an increase of $374,236.

Consistent with past practices, the Company intends to continue to invest in new product development programs and to make capital expenditures required to support the ongoing operations during the coming fiscal year.  The Company expects to finance all routine capital expenditure requirements through cash flows generated from operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations continued…

Financing activities during the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 utilized $495,111 of available resources, compared with $1,194,042 utilized during the three-month period ended April 30, 2008.  The 2009 activity is the result of the payments of the quarterly cash dividends amounting to $876,007 and the reduction of long-term debt totaling $104,440, offset by proceeds from a new borrowing of $485,336.  The new borrowing is a result of the Company’s purchase of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.  The financing of the ERP system is over a three year period with no interest.  The Company anticipates the full implementation of the new ERP system to be completed by fiscal year 2012.

The Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $.06 per share payable on March 12, 2009 and June 12, 2009 to shareholders of record as of February 26, 2009 and May 29, 2009, respectively.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

The Company recognizes revenues from product sales or services provided when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.  The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, provides guidance on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues.  The Company has concluded that its revenue recognition policy is appropriate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and SAB No. 104.

Property, plant and equipment, intangible and certain other long-lived assets are depreciated and amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management’s estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets”, effective February 1, 2002, the Company’s unamortized goodwill balance is being assessed, at least annually, for impairment. The Company performs its annual impairment test for each reporting unit using a fair value approach. The test for goodwill impairment involves significant judgment in estimating projections of fair value generated through future performance of each of the business units, which comprise our operating segments. In calculating the fair value of the business units using the present value of estimated future cash flows method, we rely on a number of assumptions including sales and related gross margin projections, operating margins, anticipated working capital requirements and market rate of returns used in discounting projected cash flows. These assumptions were based upon market and industries outlooks, our business plans and historical data. Inherent uncertainties exist in determining and applying such factors. The discount rate used in the projection of fair value represents a weighted average cost of capital applicable to the Company.

The determination of our obligation and expense for pension benefits is dependent on our selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts.  These assumptions include, among others, the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore generally affect our recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods.  While we believe that our assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in our actual experience or significant changes in our assumptions may materially affect our pension obligations and our future expense.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements:

Our prospects are subject to certain uncertainties and risk.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal securities laws.  These forward-looking statements may be identified by words describing our belief or expectation, such as where we say that we “believe”, “expect” or “anticipate”, or where we characterize something in a manner in which there is an express or implicit reference to the future, such as “non-recurring” or “unusual,” or where we express that our view is based upon the “current status” of a given matter, or upon facts as we know them as of the date of the statement.  The content and/or context of other statements that we make may indicate that the statement is “forward-looking”.  We claim the “safe harbor” provided by The Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements.

Results may differ materially from our current results and actual results could differ materially from those suggested in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including but not limited to those set forth below, other one time events, other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in Met-Pro’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following important factors, along with those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could affect our future financial condition and results of operations, and could cause our future financial condition and results of operations to differ materially from those expressed in our SEC filings and in our forward-looking statements:

·  
the write-down of costs in excess of net assets of businesses acquired (goodwill), as a result of the determination that the acquired business is impaired.  Our Flex-Kleen business unit, which initially performed well after being acquired by Met-Pro, thereafter had several years of declining performance which we attributed primarily to a general weakness in its served markets, followed by improved performance in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.  During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, we performed an impairment analysis of the $11.1 million of goodwill that the Company carries for Flex-Kleen and concluded that no impairment had occurred.  Additionally, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the actual net sales and operating profit for our Flex-Kleen business unit have exceeded the projections used in our annual impairment model.  However, based upon the results for the three-months ended April 30, 2009, Flex-Kleen’s net sales and operating profit are below that which is required by our impairment model for the fiscal year 2010. We believe Flex-Kleen’s current performance is a reflection of the downturn in US and international business and economic conditions during this period of time and is not due to any new development particular to Flex-Kleen. The impairment test that we will conduct in December 2009 will be determinative as to whether it is necessary for us to write down any of Flex-Kleen’s goodwill, and if projected net sales and operating profit for the fiscal year 2010 at such time are less than what is required by our impairment model, we will be required to write down such amount of the goodwill as the test indicates is impaired. We are hopeful that general business conditions will improve and will lead to an improvement in Flex-Kleen’s performance, but as of the date of the filing of this report, we are not able to state whether or not a write-down of Flex-Kleen’s goodwill will be required;
·  
materially adverse changes in economic conditions (i) in the markets served by us or (ii) in significant customers of ours;
·  
material changes in available technology;
·  
adverse developments in the asbestos cases that have been filed against the Company, including without limitation the exhaustion of insurance coverage, the imposition of punitive damages or other adverse developments in the availability of insurance coverage;
·  
changes in accounting rules promulgated by regulatory agencies, including the SEC, which could result in an impact on earnings;
·  
the cost of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and other applicable legal and listing requirements, and the unanticipated possibility that Met-Pro may not meet these requirements;

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations continued…

·
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which either alone or combined with actions by our employees intended to circumvent our internal control over financial reporting, to violate our policies, or to commit fraud or other bad acts, could lead to incorrect reporting of financial results.  We believe that our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2009 is effective, however there are limits to any control system and we cannot give absolute assurance that our internal control is effective or that financial statement misstatements will not occur or that policy violations and/or fraud within the Company will not occur;
·
unexpected results in our product development activities;
·
loss of key customers;
· 
changes in product mix and the cost of materials, with effect on margins;
·
changes in our existing management;
·
exchange rate fluctuations;
·
changes in federal laws, state laws and regulations;
·
lower than anticipated return on investments in the Company’s defined benefit plans, which could affect the amount of the Company’s pension liabilities;
·
the assertion of litigation claims that the Company’s products, including products produced by companies acquired by the Company, infringe third party patents or have caused injury, loss or damage;
·
the effect of acquisitions and other strategic ventures;
·
failure to properly quote and/or execute customer orders, including misspecifications, design, engineering or production errors;
·
the cancellation or delay of purchase orders or shipments;
·
losses related to sales; and/or
·
failure in execution of acquisition strategy.





Item 4.  Controls and Procedures:

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures related to the recording, processing, summarizing and reporting of information in the Company’s periodic reports that it files with the SEC.  These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed by the Company to ensure that (a) material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and made known to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, by other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake, or because of intentional acts designed to circumvent controls.

Accordingly, as of April 30, 2009 the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives.  The Company continually strives to improve its disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of its financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
 
Certain of the statements made in this Item 1 (and elsewhere in this Report) are “forward-looking” statements which are subject to the considerations set forth in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” located in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report, and we refer you to these considerations.

Beginning in 2002, the Company and/or one of its business units began to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits filed predominantly in Mississippi on a mass basis by large numbers of plaintiffs against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. The complaints filed against the Company and/or this business unit have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that the Company, and/or the business unit, along with the numerous other defendants, sold unidentified asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including death) and loss to the plaintiffs.  More recent cases typically allege more serious claims of mesothelioma.  The Company believes that it and/or the business unit have meritorious defenses to the cases which have been filed and that none of its and/or the business unit’s products were a cause of any injury or loss to any of the plaintiffs.  The Company’s insurers have hired attorneys who, together with the Company, are vigorously defending these cases.  The Company and/or the business unit have been dismissed from or settled a number of these cases. The sum total of all payments through April 30, 2009 to settle these cases was $355,000, all of which has been paid by the Company’s insurers including legal expenses, except for corporate counsel expenses, with an average cost per settled claim, excluding legal fees, of approximately $24,000. As of April 30, 2009, there were a total of 61 cases pending against the Company (with a majority of those cases pending in New York, Mississippi and Maryland), as compared with 55 cases that were pending as of January 31, 2009. For the three-month period ended April 30, 2009, 10 new cases were filed against the Company, and the Company was dismissed from four cases.  Most of the pending cases have not advanced beyond the early stages of discovery, although a number of cases are on schedules leading to, or are scheduled for trial.  The Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate for the cases currently pending against the Company and for the foreseeable future assuming a continuation of the current volume and nature of cases; however, the Company has no control over the number and nature of cases that are filed against it nor as to the financial health of its insurers or their position as to coverage.  The Company also presently believes that none of the pending cases will have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

At any given time, the Company is typically also party to a small number of other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon the present information, including the Company’s assessment of the facts of each particular claim as well as accruals, the Company believes that no pending proceeding will have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.



In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, financial results or future performance.  Additionally, we refer you to Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” of this report, and in particular the first item as to the potential for a write-down of goodwill of our Flex-Kleen business unit.
