Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report consolidated revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or debt levels. It specifically addresses escrow deposits related to a real estate transaction:
- Existing Deposit: $50,000 (held in third-party escrow).
- Additional Deposit: $400,000 (agreed to be deposited by the Purchaser).

Material Changes vs. Prior Period
The filing details the execution of an Eleventh Amendment to a Restated and Amended Purchase Agreement originally entered into in June 2005 between CECO's subsidiary, The Kirk and Blum Manufacturing Co. ("K&B"), and Millworks Town Center, LLC ("Purchaser"). Key changes include:
- Parcel A Closing Extension: Extended to on or before January 11, 2007 (Note: Source text states "January 11, 2006" but context implies a future date relative to the Oct 2006 filing).
- Deposit Refundability Deadline: Extended from October 31, 2006, to December 11, 2006. After this date, the $50,000 deposit is refundable only in the event of a K&B default.
- Additional Deposit Deadline: The date for the Purchaser to deposit the additional $400,000 is extended to December 11, 2006.
- Parcel B Closing Extension: Extended to the later of September 25, 2007, or 30 days after K&B vacates the property, but no later than 10 months following the Parcel A closing.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Transaction Conditions: The closing is subject to customary conditions and special conditions, including the negotiation of a definitive agreement regarding K&B's post-closing possessory rights.
Forward-Looking Statements: The filing contains forward-looking statements regarding the completion of the transaction. Management notes that actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties outside CECO's control.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact closing date for Parcel A, as the text contains a potential typographical error stating "January 11, 2006" (a past date) instead of a future date.
- Confirm the status of the $400,000 additional deposit by the December 11, 2006 deadline.
- Monitor the negotiation of the definitive agreement regarding K&B's post-closing possessory rights, which is a condition for closing.
- Review the full text of the Eleventh Amendment (Exhibit 10.1) for specific legal terms not summarized in the 8-K.
