INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Barrier Systems, Inc. and Subsidiary
Rio Vista, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Barrier Systems, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Barrier Systems, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization
 
    Barrier Systems, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the state of California on April 18, 1984, for the primary purpose of engaging in the manufacture, sale and lease of highway barriers. Safe Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrier Systems, Inc., was incorporated on January 1, 1999 for the primary purpose of providing testing services to the highway industry.
 
    For the year ended December 31, 2005, one customer accounted for 19% of revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2004, one customer accounted for 23% of revenue.
 
    Principles of consolidation
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Barrier Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Safe Technologies, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
 
    Revenue recognition
 
    The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products primarily as they are shipped and title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
 
    Cash
 
    The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash.
 
    At December 31, 2005, the Company had deposits in excess of federally insured limits of approximately $1,129,000.
 
    Allowance for doubtful accounts
 
    The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and generally does not require collateral. Its customers are located throughout North America and for the year ended December 31, 2005, one customer accounted for 74% of accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2004, three customers accounted for 63% of accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
    Allowance for doubtful accounts (continued)
 
    Based on historical write-offs, overall economic conditions and the current aging status of its customers, the Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level considered adequate to cover anticipated credit losses on outstanding trade accounts receivable. Accounts are monitored by management on an ongoing basis and are written off by the Company when it has been determined that all available collection avenues have been exhausted. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $126,666 and $61,000, respectively.
 
    Inventory
 
    Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the weighted average method, net of a reserve for obsolescence. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the reserve for obsolescence was $50,000.
 
    Depreciation and amortization
 
    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, generally 3 to 10 years for equipment and furniture, and 40 years for buildings and improvements. The cost of maintenance and repairs, renewals and improvements, which do not significantly extend the useful lives of the assets, are expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income.
 
    Amortization of patents is computed using the straight-line method over 15 — 19 years. The Company recorded an impairment write-down in the amount of $289,339 on intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
    Income taxes
 
    The Company is an S Corporation. Income and losses are taxable to the individual stockholders and not to the Company. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes. However, the Company is subject to franchise and income taxes in certain states in which it does business.

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
    Investments
 
    The Company has a 50% interest in each of Barrier QMB Canada, Inc., QMB Barrier Systems, Inc. and QMB Investments, Inc., formerly known as 9076-0935 Quebec, Inc. These investments are carried at cost adjusted for the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses (“equity method”). Dividends received, if any, reduce the carrying value of the investments. The Company does not exert control over the operating and financial activities of these entities; therefore, the Company accounts for these investments using the equity method.
 
    Long-lived assets
 
    The Company reviews long-lived assets held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
 
    Translation of foreign currencies
 
    The financial position and operating results of the Company’s equity investments are denominated using their local currency as their functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly into a separate component of stockholders’ equity and totaled $75,940 and $120,110 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
    Research and development costs
 
    Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $364,254 and $157,749, respectively.

    Stock-based compensation
 
    The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” that also require disclosures as if the Company had applied the fair value method to employee awards rather than the intrinsic value method. The fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which differ significantly from the Company’s stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The Company’s fair value calculations for awards from stock option plans were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected term: ten years from the date of grant; stock price volatility: 0; risk free interest rate: 5.1%; and no dividends during the expected term.
 
    SFAS No. 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income (loss) as if compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans had been determined in accordance with methods prescribed in SFAS No. 123. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income would have decreased to the pro forma amount as follows for the year ended December 31, 2005:
          Net income
         
As reported
  $ 2,251,225  
Pro forma
  $ 2,130,327  
    Use of accounting estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2.   Bank Line of Credit
 
    The Company has a line of credit agreement with Comerica Bank in the amount of $5,000,000. The agreement expires June 30, 2006. Borrowings accrue interest at Comerica’s Base Rate or LIBOR plus 2.50% (6.3% at December 31, 2005). The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The line of credit has certain financial and non-financial covenants. At December 31, 2005, the Company was in

11. Stock Appreciation Right and Stock Option Plan
The Company has a stock appreciation right and stock option (SAR) plan under which a maximum of 50,000 rights and options for an equal number of shares of Company stock may be granted. SARs and options may be granted to employees (including officers), directors and consultants of the Company. The plan permits the Board of Directors to grant in tandem with any SAR an identical number of options to purchase Company stock. Recipients of a SAR and/or stock option are selected at the direction of the Board of Directors. The exercise period is at the discretion of the Board, and may range from six months to ten years after the grant date.
A SAR shall terminate three months after termination of the participant’s employment or relationship with the Company. Directors and officers of the Company may not exercise a SAR within six months after the right is granted, except in the event of death or disability.
Each SAR granted shall upon exercise entitle the participant to the economic value determined by computing the excess of the fair market value of one share of stock at the date of exercise over no less than 85% of the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the SAR was granted. Fair market value shall be determined in accordance with the provisions outlined in the plan.
The Board of Directors has determined that the fair market value of SARs is $14 per share during 2005.
During 2005, all SARS expired and the 37,000 fully vested SARs options were paid at a total cost of approximately $140,000.
12. Incentive Stock Option Plan
The Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Plan (the “Plan”) allows the Company to grant options to employees for up to 100,000 shares of common stock. The options, which shall not have a term greater than 10 years when granted vest up to a five year period. The exercise price of each option equals the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors.
During 2005 the Company inadvertently issued options in excess of the amount initial approved in the Plan. The Company is in the process of amending the plan to cover these additional options. Management expects approval during early 2006.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements
     On June 1, 2006, Lindsay Manufacturing Co. (“Lindsay,” or the “Company”) completed the acquisition of Barrier Systems, Inc. (“BSI”) and its subsidiary Safe Technologies, Inc. through the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Lindsay with and into BSI (the “Merger”). As a result, BSI has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lindsay. BSI is engaged in the manufacture of roadway barriers and traffic flow products that are used to reduce traffic congestion and enhance safety.
     Total cash merger consideration to be paid to the stockholders of BSI and holders of options to acquire BSI stock was $35,000,000 less (i) approximately $3,796,000 representing liabilities of BSI for borrowed money which were repaid at closing by Lindsay, (ii) approximately $29,000 representing liabilities of BSI for borrowed money which were not repaid at closing and (iii) approximately $906,000 of transaction costs of BSI. Of the cash merger consideration, $3,500,000 is held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of the shareholders and option holders of BSI and $1,000,000 is held in escrow pending calculation of the final merger consideration based on the adjusted net assets of BSI at closing. After completion of the closing balance sheet the purchase price was reduced by approximately $1,200,000 related to the net asset test discussed above. The Company funded the payment of the merger consideration using a combination of its own working capital and borrowing under a new credit agreement.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the twelve-months ended August 31, 2005 was prepared as if the acquisition had taken place on September 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the nine-months ended May 31, 2006 was prepared as if the acquisition had taken place on September 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of May 31, 2006 was prepared as if the acquisition had taken place on May 31, 2006. The acquisition of BSI will be accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations,” with Lindsay treated as the acquirer. See descriptions of Pro Forma Adjustments following the Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements.
     The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements give effect to the purchase of BSI. This information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Lindsay Manufacturing Co. for the year ended August 31, 2005 as filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as with the audited financial statements of Barrier Systems, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, which are included in this Form 8-K document in Exhibit 99.1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of May 31, 2006 and condensed statements of income of Lindsay Manufacturing Co. (“Lindsay” or the “Company”) for the year ended August 31, 2005 and the nine-months ended May 31, 2006 have been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Barrier Systems, Inc. (“BSI”). The acquired assets included accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment. The acquisition was effective June 1, 2006.
The pro forma condensed statements of income include the complete operations of BSI with pro forma adjustments. In addition, proforma adjustments are presented to reflect depreciation based upon the allocated purchase price of the assets, to reflect income tax expense on reported BSI income not originally recorded because of its Subchapter S status and to reflect income taxes on the pro forma adjustments.
The pro forma condensed balance sheet has been prepared to give effect to the acquisition as if such transaction had taken place on May 31, 2006, and as if such transaction had taken place on September 1, 2004 for purposes of the pro forma condensed statements of income.
The preliminary pro forma allocation of the purchase price of BSI is as follows (in thousands):
         
Purchase Price:
       
Cash
  $ 33,800  
Estimated transaction costs
    652  
 
     
Total purchase price
    34,452  
Plus: liabilities to be assumed by Lindsay
       
Other current liabilities
    8,597  
Long term liabilities
    377  
 
     
 
       
Total purchase price plus liabilities assumed
  $ 43,426  
 
     
 
       
Purchase Price Allocation:
       
Fair value of tangible net assets acquired
  $ 18,840  
Patents
    13,700  
Trademarks and trade name
    2,700

PRO FORMA ENTRIES:
  (1)   To eliminate the historical balance sheet of BSI.
 
  (2)   To record the acquisition of BSI assets.
 
  (3)   Lindsay entered into a credit agreement with a bank and borrowed $30.0 million, at 6.05%, to partially fund the acquisition of BSI. Remaining purchase price and transaction costs were funded using working capital.
 
  (4)   To reflect depreciation and amortization based upon the allocated purchase cost of assets acquired. The amount also reflects an increase from the cost of sales on inventory at fair value.
 
  (5)   To reflect income tax expense on BSI operations not originally reflected because of its Subchapter S status. An estimated statutory rate of 37% is used as the effective tax rate. The asset step-up in purchase cost allocation is not tax deductible in the pro forma financials. The interest expenses on the borrowed funds is tax deductible and has been accounted for in the pro forma financials.
 
  (6)   To eliminate inter-company sales and cost of sales.
 
  (7)   To eliminate one-time transaction related bonus payments of approximately $1.7 million, that were incurred by BSI in association with the transaction.
