Item 3.02.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
On July 11, 2007, certain stockholders converted a total of 3,312 shares of the Company's Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into a total of 399,998 shares of the Company's common stock, pursuant to a formula specified in the certificate of designations with respect to the preferred stock. In accordance with the formula, the Company issued a number of shares of NATCO Group Inc. common stock equal to the face value of the preferred stock surrendered ($1,000 multiplied by the number of preferred shares surrendered) divided by the conversion price ($7.805). The Company also paid a total of approximately $22,000 for 1) accrued but unpaid dividends on the preferred shares converted and 2) cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares, also in accordance with the terms of the certificate of designations with respect to the preferred shares.

The issuance of common stock on conversion of the preferred stock was exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Following the conversion, 11,878 and 17,967,873 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, were outstanding. Based on the number of shares of preferred stock currently outstanding, the Company estimates the preferred stock dividend for the remainder of 2007 will be approximately $600,000.
