SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Met-Pro Corporation (“Met-Pro” or the “Company”) and its direct and indirect 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., Met-Pro (Hong Kong) Company Limited, Met-Pro Industrial Services Inc., Bio-Reaction Industries Inc., Met-Pro Holdings LLC and Met-Pro Chile Limitada. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include valuation of accounts receivable, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies and assumptions used in the calculations of income taxes.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2012 and the results of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods then ended, have been included. The results of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended July 31, 2012 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/A for the year ended January 31, 2012.  In addition, the January 31, 2012 Balance Sheet data, presented herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” This ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improves consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. This amended standard permits an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012; early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
