INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Nitram Energy, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nitram Energy, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, comprehensive income and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nitram Energy, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NITRAM ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands)
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF BUSINESS
Nitram Energy, Inc. (the “Parent”) and its Subsidiaries (Bos-Hatten, Inc. — a U.S. company, Burman Management, Inc. — a U.S. company and Burgess-Manning, Inc. — a U.S. company including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Burgess-Manning, Pte, Ltd. — a Singapore company, Burgess-Manning, (I) Pvt, Ltd. — an Indian company, Burgess-Manning, Europe, Ltd. — a United Kingdom company including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quietflo Engineering, Ltd. — a United Kingdom company, Burgess-Manning, Ltd. — a United Kingdom company, Skimovex, B.V. — a Dutch company, Burgess-Manning, S.A. — a French company), design and manufacture pressure vessels, separators, silencers, and heat transfer equipment used in various industrial applications. Nitram Energy, Inc. and its Subsidiaries sell goods to domestic and international customers. As of September 30, 2007, and for the year then ended, approximately 9% of total assets and 14% of revenues related to foreign operations.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Nitram Energy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to hereafter as the “Company.” All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Translation of Foreign Currency — All of the assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate at year-end. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate throughout the year. The currency translation adjustments resulting from translating equity balances at their historical exchange rates are recorded as the sole component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenues on its U.S. sales when units are shipped and its foreign subsidiaries use a percentage of completion method. Anticipated losses, if any, on contracts of its foreign subsidiaries are charged against earnings as soon as such losses can be determined.
Accounts Receivable — Trade — Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the amount of receivables that will actually be collected. Past due accounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been unsuccessful. At September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $4, $38 and $19, respectively.
Inventory — Raw material inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The Company uses the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of costing raw material inventory. Management believes that the LIFO method minimizes the effect of price level changes on inventory valuations and generally matches current costs against current revenues in the income statement.
Work-in-process inventories are valued at accumulated costs including material, direct labor and the applicable overhead. Finished goods are comprised of replacement parts and completed products with cost determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.

Exhibit 99.1 - Page 7


 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using both the accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Shipping and Handling Costs — Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred, as part of cost of good sold.
Advertising — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $30, $29 and $45 for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Income Taxes — The Parent and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. return and individual state tax returns. State income taxes are allocated to the members of the consolidated group based upon their proportion of taxable income to total consolidated taxable income. The non-U.S. subsidiaries file their required income tax returns separately.
The Parent and its domestic subsidiaries elected S corporation status for Federal income tax purposes effective October 1, 2006. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Accordingly, the Company will not incur additional Federal income tax obligations, except for the Federal income tax provision for LIFO recapture for the year ended September 30, 2007. See Note 15 for the effect of the impact of this election on the 2007 financial statements.
State deferred taxes are provided on temporary differences arising from assets and liabilities whose bases are different for financial reporting and income tax purposes, as well as on tax benefits expected to be realized from utilization of tax credits available for carryforward.
State deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by the expected future tax effects attributable to these temporary differences. State deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures that are included in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

The provision/(benefit) for income taxes consisted of the following:
                         
    September 30,  
    2007     2006     2005  
Current provision/(benefit):
                       
Federal
  $ (2 )   $ 690     $ 702  
State
    198       130       120  
Foreign
    414       189       (0 )
 
                 
 
    610       1,009       822  
 
                       
Deferred provision/(benefit):
                       
Federal
  $ 5     $ (1 )   $ (0 )
State
    26       (7 )     (7 )
 
                 
 
    31       (8 )     (7 )
 
                 
 
  $ 641     $ 1,001     $ 815  
 
                 
The Company elected to be treated as an S corporation for Federal income tax purposes effective October 1, 2006. As a consequence of this change in tax status, the Company no longer benefits from the previously reported Federal deferred tax assets and no longer has an obligation to pay the previously recorded Federal deferred tax liability. Therefore, net Federal deferred tax assets of the Company recorded as of September 30, 2006 of $5 have been included as a deferred Federal provision for 2007.
State deferred taxes of the Company related primarily to financial reporting and income tax reporting differences with regard to inventory, property, plant and equipment, accrued expenses and the benefit from loss carryforwards for state filing purposes.
For 2007, the Company’s benefit for Federal income taxes related to the prior year tax over-accrual.
For 2006, the Company’s consolidated provision for income taxes is lower than would normally be expected if the statutory rate was applied to income before provision for income taxes primarily because of certain income for financial reporting purposes that is not taxable for tax purposes, and due to the lower effective tax rate imposed on foreign subsidiaries.
Nitram Energy, Inc. fully utilized net operating loss carryforwards for state franchise tax purposes for the year ended September 30, 2007. Bos-Hatten, Inc. has net operating loss carryforwards for state franchise tax purposes of approximately $1,292, which begin to expire in 2013.

Exhibit 99.1 - Page 13


 

NOTE 15 — INCOME TAXES (CONT’D)

The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings as of September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounts to approximately $1,450, $1,244 and $1,171, respectively. The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability for the unremitted earnings is approximately $508, $435 and $410 as of September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Deferred taxes have also not been provided relative to undistributed earnings and currency translation adjustments of consolidated foreign subsidiaries as there are no current plans to liquidate these subsidiaries or repatriate the funds.
NOTE 16 — OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company has included a financial statement presentation of comprehensive income. The statement begins with net income as presented in the statement of income, then presents other items of gain or loss that are charged or credited directly to equity. Accordingly, foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the change in foreign currency exchange rates from year to year, is the only item of other comprehensive income or loss.
NOTE 17 — CONCENTRATIONS
An unrelated customer accounted for approximately 15% of the Company’s sales and approximately 12% of the Company’s accounts receivable for the year ended September 30, 2007. One unrelated customer accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s sales and 10% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2006.
The Company maintains cash in foreign and U.S. bank accounts in excess of Federally insured limits that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The Company believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash.
NOTE 18 — CONTINGENCY AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2008 the Company discovered that its subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Burgess-Manning, Europe, Ltd., had sales in the years ended September 30, 2004 through 2007 to a customer in a country that might subject the Company to penalties under U.S. export regulations. On April 29, 2008, the Company made a voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Federal Government of the details of these transactions. The Company believes that no penalties are warranted in this matter. Furthermore, if penalties were imposed, legal counsel believes it is unlikely that any penalties would exceed $500,000.
As part of the stock purchase agreement between the Company’s stockholders (“the selling stockholders”) and Peerless Mfg. Co. (“Peerless”) which was closed April 30, 2008, the selling stockholders have assumed responsibility for any penalties and related defense costs that might be incurred as a result of the matter described above.
