NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for financial statements contained in Lindsay Corporation’s (the “Company”) annual Form 10-K filing. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007.

     In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected by the Company for a full year.

     Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements describe various elements of the financial statements and the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions applied by management. While actual results could differ from those estimated by management in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, management believes that the accounting policies, assumptions, and estimates applied promote the representational faithfulness, verifiability, neutrality, and transparency of the accounting information included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior financial statements and notes to conform to the current year presentation.

     The Company determined that it erroneously recognized income tax expense of $0.5 million and $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and the second quarter of fiscal 2008, respectively, relating to the exercise of stock options by Richard W. Parod, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company incorrectly increased income tax expense by these amounts to reflect the effect of non-deductible officer compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code related to these stock options. However, because these options were initially accounted for under APB No. 25, there should not have been an increase to income tax expense in the financial statements. The Company has concluded that the impact of these errors was not material to its previously issued financial statements. As a result, the Company corrected these errors in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The correction resulted in a reduction in income tax expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2008, which added $0.09 to earnings per diluted share. The correction resulted in a reduction in income tax expense of $0.5 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2008, which added $0.04 to earnings per diluted share. In addition, the consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2008, reflected a decrease to capital in excess of stated value of $1.1 million as a result of the correction.

(2) Net Earnings per Share

Basic net earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options and restricted stock units. Performance stock units are excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the performance conditions have been satisfied. At May 31, 2008, the performance conditions for the Company’s outstanding performance stock units had not been satisfied.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, requires that employee equity share options, nonvested shares and similar equity instruments granted by the Company be treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted net earnings per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of restricted stock units and in-the-money options, and is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of excess tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when exercised are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

     For both the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, all stock options and restricted stock units had a dilutive effect; no options or restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculations.

(3) Acquisitions

On January 24, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of stock of Watertronics, Inc., (“Watertronics”) based in Hartland, Wisconsin. Watertronics is a leader in designing, manufacturing, and servicing water pumping stations and controls for the golf, landscape and municipal markets. The addition of Watertronics enhances the Company’s capabilities in providing innovative, turn-key solutions to customers through the integration of their proprietary

pump station controls with irrigation control systems. Total consideration paid to the selling shareholders was $17.9 million. The purchase price was financed with cash on hand as well as borrowings under a $30 million Revolving Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., described in Note 8, Credit Arrangements.

     On November 9, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Traffic Maintenance Attenuators, Inc. and Albert W. Unrath, Inc. through a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrier Systems, Inc. (“BSI”). The assets acquired primarily relate to patents that will enhance the Company’s highway safety product offering globally. Total consideration was $3.5 million, which was financed with cash on hand.

     The total purchase price for each of these acquisitions has been preliminarily allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on management’s estimates of current fair values. The resulting goodwill and other intangible assets have been accounted for under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, (“SFAS No. 142”). The Company’s preliminary allocation of purchase price for these acquisitions consisted of current assets of $4.6 million, fixed assets of $5.3 million, patents of $4.0 million, other intangible assets of $3.4 million, goodwill of $7.1 million, current liabilities of $2.5 million, long-term deferred tax liabilities of $0.4 million and other liabilities of $0.1 million. Goodwill recorded in connection with these acquisitions is deductible for income tax purposes. Proforma data is not presented for either of these acquisitions, as they were considered immaterial.

(4) Comprehensive Income

The accumulated other comprehensive income, net, shown in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets includes the unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges, unrealized gain on securities, defined benefit pension plan and the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment. The following table shows the difference between the Company’s reported net earnings and its comprehensive income:

Total comprehensive income		$	14,900			$	8,865			$	31,272			$	12,986

(5) Income Taxes

It is the Company’s policy to report income tax expense for interim periods using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. However, the tax effects of significant or unusual items are not considered in the estimated annual effective tax rate. The tax effects of such discrete events are recognized in the interim period in which the events occur.

     The effective rate for the income tax provision for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008 was 30.5% and 33.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2008 are lower than the statutory rate primarily due to a correction of previously recognized tax expense relating to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code as described in Note 1, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The impact of the correction was a decrease of 5.3 percentage points and 1.1 percentage points in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, respectively. Excluding the correction, the effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2008, was lower than the statutory rate due to the Section 199 domestic production activities deduction and other tax credits. Excluding the correction, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended May 31, 2008, was lower than the statutory rate due to federal tax-exempt interest income on the investment portfolio, the Section 199 domestic production activities deduction and other tax credits.

     The effective rate for the income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2007 was 35.2% and 34.2%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2007 were lower than the statutory rate primarily due to federal tax-exempt interest income on the investment portfolio, the Section 199 domestic production activities deduction and an extraterritorial income exclusion.

     In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (“FIN 48”). The Company adopted FIN 48 on September 1, 2007. The

Interpretation provides a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for recognizing, derecognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions for financial statement purposes. Under FIN 48, tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. As of September 1, 2007, the Company had $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by recognizing a net increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $0.9 million, of which $0.7 million relates to the Company’s international subsidiaries. This increase in the liability was offset by a reduction in beginning retained earnings of $0.8 million and an increase in goodwill of $0.1 million. The remaining $0.3 million had been previously accrued in current taxes payable under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. At September 1, 2007, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the consolidated balance sheet in other noncurrent liabilities was $1.2 million of which $1.1 million could have an impact on the Company’s future effective tax rate.

     The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of September 1, 2007, included $0.5 million for interest and penalties.

     The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has closed examination of the Company’s income tax returns through 2004. In addition, with regard to a number of state and foreign tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2002. During the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2008, there were no material changes to the liability for uncertain tax positions.

     While it is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations, the Company does not expect this change to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

(6) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for the Company’s Lindsay, Nebraska inventory and two warehouses in Idaho and Texas. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for inventory at the Company’s Omaha, Nebraska warehouse, BSI, Watertronics and non-U.S. warehouse locations. Cost is determined by the weighted average cost method for inventory at the Company’s other operating locations in Washington State, France, Brazil, Italy and South Africa. At all locations, the Company reserves for obsolete, slow moving, and excess inventory by estimating the net realizable value based on the potential future use of such inventory.

		May 31,				May 31,				August 31,
$ in thousands		2008				2007				2007
Inventory:
FIFO inventory		$	32,743			$	26,863			$	19,482

(8) Credit Arrangements

Euro Line of Credit

     The Company’s wholly-owned European subsidiary, Lindsay Europe, has an unsecured revolving line of credit with a commercial bank under which it could borrow up to 2.3 million Euros, which equates to approximately USD $3.6 million as of May 31, 2008, for working capital purposes (the “Euro Line of Credit”). As of May 31, 2008 and 2007, and August 31, 2007, there was $1.5 million, $0 and $0.7 million outstanding on the Euro Line of Credit, respectively, which was included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Under the terms of the Euro Line of Credit, borrowings, if any, bear interest at a variable rate in effect from time to time designated by the lending bank as Euro LIBOR plus 200 basis points (all inclusive, 5.5% at May 31, 2008). Unpaid principal and interest is due by October 31, 2008, which is the termination date of the Euro Line of Credit.

BSI Term Note

     The Company entered into an unsecured $30 million Term Note and Credit Agreement, effective June 1, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “BSI Term Note”) to partially finance the acquisition of BSI. Borrowings under the BSI Term Note bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. The Company has fixed the rate at 6.05% through an interest rate swap as described in Note 9, Financial Derivatives. Principal is repaid quarterly in equal payments of $1.1 million over a seven-year period that began in September of 2006. The BSI Term Note is due in June of 2013.

Snoline Term Note

     The Company entered into an unsecured $13.2 million seven-year Term Note and Credit Agreement, effective December 27, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Snoline Term Note”) to partially finance the acquisition of Snoline S.P.A. (“Snoline”). Borrowings under the Snoline Term Note are guaranteed by the Company and bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. On the same day, the Company entered into a cross currency swap transaction obligating the Company to make quarterly payments of 0.4 million Euros per quarter over the same seven-year period and to receive payments of $0.5 million per quarter. This is approximately equivalent to converting the $13.2 million seven-year Term Note

into a 10.0 million Euro seven-year Term Note at a fixed rate of 4.7% as described in Note 9, Financial Derivatives. The Snoline Term Note is due in December of 2013.

Revolving Credit Agreement

     The Company entered into an unsecured $30.0 million Revolving Credit Note and Revolving Credit Agreement, each effective as of January 24, 2008, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The borrowings from the Revolving Credit Agreement will primarily be used for working capital purposes and funding acquisitions. The Company borrowed an initial amount of $15.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement to partially fund the acquisition of Watertronics during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company subsequently repaid the $15.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, leaving no outstanding balance and an unused borrowing capacity of $30.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of May 31, 2008.

     Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. Interest is paid on a monthly to quarterly basis depending on loan type. The Company also pays an annual commitment fee of 0.125% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Agreement. Unpaid principal and interest is due by January 23, 2010, which is the termination date of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The BSI Term Note, the Snoline Term Note and the Revolving Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Notes”) each contain the same covenants, including certain covenants relating to Lindsay’s financial condition. Upon the occurrence of any event of default of these covenants specified in the Notes, including a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Notes), all amounts due thereunder may be declared to be immediately due and payable.

Long-term debt consists of the following:

		May 31,				May 31,				August 31,
$ in thousands		2008				2007				2007
Term Notes payable		$	33,339			$	39,510			$	37,967

(9) Financial Derivatives

The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments to hedge exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes. As of May 31, 2008, the Company held two derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges and one derivative accounted for as a hedge of net investments in foreign operations. The Company accounts for these derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activity (“SFAS No. 133”), which requires all derivatives to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value and to meet certain documentary and analytical requirements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. All of the Company’s derivatives qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 and, accordingly, changes in the fair value are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects.

     In order to reduce interest rate risk on the BSI Term Note, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that is designed to convert the variable interest rate on the entire amount of this borrowing to a fixed rate of 6.05% per annum. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments on an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the BSI Term Note, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate, long-term debt obligations are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects. The fair value of the swap agreement at May 31, 2008 and 2007 was a liability of $1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, less than $0.1 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations related to ineffectiveness of this interest rate swap.

     Similarly, the Company entered into a cross currency swap transaction fixing the conversion rate of Euro to U.S. dollars for the Snoline Term Note at 1.3195 and obligating the Company to make quarterly payments of 0.4 million Euros per quarter over the same seven-year period as the Snoline Term Note and to receive payments of $0.5 million per quarter. In addition, the variable interest rate was converted to a fixed rate of 4.7%. This is approximately equivalent to converting the $13.2 million seven-year Snoline Term Note into a 10.0 million Euro seven-year Term Note at a fixed rate of 4.7%. Under the terms of the cross currency swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of the cross currency swap designated as a hedging instrument that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate, long-term debt obligations are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects. As of May 31, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of the swap agreement was a liability of $1.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no amounts recorded in the consolidated statement of operations related to ineffectiveness of this cross currency swap.

     During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company entered into Euro foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its Euro net investment exposure in its foreign operations. At May 31, 2008, the Company had one outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contract to sell 12.5 million Euro on August 29, 2008 at a fixed price of $1.5437 USD per Euro. The exchange rate at May 31, 2008 was $1.5523 USD per Euro. The Company’s foreign currency forward contract qualifies as a hedge of net investments in foreign operations under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Changes in fair value of derivatives that qualify as hedges of a net investment in foreign operations are recorded in accumulated currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects. As of May 31, 2008, the balance sheet reflected a derivative asset of less than $0.1 million with a corresponding increase to currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects related to the outstanding foreign currency forward contract. For the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no amounts recorded in the consolidated statement of operations related to ineffectiveness of Euro foreign currency forward contracts.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

In 1992, the Company entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States Government (“the EPA”) in which the Company committed to remediate environmental contamination of the groundwater that was discovered in 1982 through 1990 at and adjacent to its Lindsay, Nebraska facility (“the site”). The site was added to the EPA’s list of priority superfund sites in 1989. Between 1993 and 1995, remediation plans for the site were approved by the EPA and fully implemented by the Company. Since 1998, the primary remaining contamination at the site has been the presence of volatile organic chemicals in the groundwater. In 2003, the Company and the EPA conducted a second five-year review of the status of the remediation of the contamination of the site. As a result of this review, the EPA issued a letter placing the Company on notice that additional remediation actions were required. The Company and its environmental consultants have completed and submitted a supplemental remedial action work plan that, when implemented, will allow the Company and the EPA to better identify the boundaries of the contaminated groundwater and will allow the Company and the EPA to more effectively assure that the contaminated groundwater is being contained by current and planned wells that pump and aerate it. During fiscal 2007, the Company increased its environmental remediation accrual for expected costs to address the additional remediation action required by the EPA and to remain in compliance with the EPA’s second five-year review. Although the Company has been able to reasonably estimate the cost of completing the remediation actions defined in the supplemental remedial action work plan, it is at least reasonably possible that the cost of completing the remediation actions will be revised in the near term. Related balance sheet liabilities recognized were $0.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million at May 31, 2008 and 2007, and August 31, 2007, respectively.

(11) Retirement Plan

The Company has a supplemental non-qualified, unfunded retirement plan for two current and four former executives. Plan benefits are based on the participant’s average total compensation during the three highest compensation years of employment during the ten years immediately preceding the participant’s retirement or termination. This unfunded supplemental retirement plan is not subject to the minimum funding requirements of ERISA. The Company has purchased life insurance policies on four of the participants named in this supplemental retirement plan to provide partial funding for this liability. Components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s supplemental retirement plan include:

		Three months ended								Nine months ended
		May 31,								May 31,

Total net periodic benefit cost		$	135			$	125			$	404			$	375

(12) Warranties

The Company generally warrants its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. These product warranties are provided for specific periods and/or usage of the product. The accrued product warranty costs are for a combination of specifically identified items and other incurred, but not identified, items based primarily on historical experience of actual warranty claims. This reserve is classified within other current liabilities.

(13) Industry Segment Information

The Company manages its business activities in two reportable segments:

     Irrigation: This segment includes the manufacture and marketing of center pivot, lateral move, and hose reel irrigation systems as well as various water pumping stations and controls. The irrigation segment consists of eight operating segments that have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, (“SFAS No. 131”).

     Infrastructure: This segment includes the manufacture and marketing of movable barriers, specialty barriers and crash cushions; providing outsource manufacturing services and the manufacturing and selling of large diameter steel tubing. The infrastructure segment consists of three operating segments that have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131.

     The accounting policies of the two reportable segments are described in the “Accounting Policies” section of Note A to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on segment sales, gross profit, and operating income, with operating income for segment purposes excluding general and administrative expenses (which include corporate expenses), interest income, interest expense, other income and expenses, and income taxes. Operating income for segment purposes does include selling expenses, engineering and research expenses and other overhead charges directly attributable to the segment. There are no inter-segment sales. Certain segment reporting proscribed by SFAS No. 131 is not shown as this information cannot be reasonably disaggregated by segment and is not utilized by the Company’s management.

     The Company had no single customer representing 10% or more of its total revenues during the nine months ended May 31, 2008 or 2007, respectively.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table:

(14) Share Based Compensation

The Company accounts for awards of share-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. The Company’s current share-based compensation plan, approved by the stockholders of the Company, provides for awards of stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance stock units to employees and non-employee directors of the Company. Share-based compensation expense was $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, and $2.4 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

     In November 2007, the Company granted restricted stock units and performance stock units under its 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units granted to employees vest over a three-year period at approximately 33% per year. In January 2008, the Company granted restricted stock units under its 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan to non-employee directors of the Company. The restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors vest on November 1, 2008. A specified number of shares of common stock will be awarded under the terms of the performance stock units after a three-year vesting period, if performance measures relating to three-year average revenue growth and a three-year average return on net assets are achieved. The restricted stock units and performance stock units granted to employees and non-employee directors have a grant date fair value equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date less present value of expected dividends. In connection with the restricted stock units and performance stock units, the Company is accruing compensation expense based on the estimated number of shares expected to be issued utilizing the most current information available to the Company at the date of the financial statements.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months ended May 31, 2008 compared to the Three Months ended May 31, 2007

The following section presents an analysis of the Company’s condensed consolidated operating results displayed in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007. It should be read together with the industry segment information in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

Revenues

Operating revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2008 increased by 54% to $143.6 million compared with $93.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2007. This increase is attributable to a $45.2 million increase in irrigation equipment revenues and a $5.3 million increase in infrastructure segment revenues.

     Domestic irrigation equipment revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2008 of $79.1 million increased 46% from $54.1 million as compared to the same period last year. Economic conditions for U.S. farmers remain very robust, due to higher agricultural commodity prices. At the end of the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2008, corn prices were up 57% over the same time last year, soybean prices were up 66%, and wheat prices were up more than 44%. Net Farm Income is currently projected to be up by 4.1% for the 2008 crop year, achieving a new record of $92.3 billion. Recent wet weather conditions have jeopardized earlier production and yield estimates for corn in the U.S., pushing commodity prices higher. The year-over-year higher commodity prices have favorably impacted demand. In addition, the recently passed economic stimulus package provides opportunities for farmers to accelerate depreciation on equipment purchases, which is likely to positively affect calendar 2008 demand for irrigation equipment.

     International irrigation equipment revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2008 of $41.5 million increased 95% from $21.3 million as compared to the same prior year period. The higher global commodity prices, pressure on increasing food production, and demand for biofuels have increased investments in agricultural development, including expanding efficient irrigation. Exports were up in all regions, and were up in total more than 115% over the same quarter last year, driven by agricultural development and yield improvement initiatives. In addition, the Company has seen significant growth in revenues from each of its international irrigation business units.

     Infrastructure products segment revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2008 of $23.0 million increased $5.3 million from the same prior year period. The increase in revenues is attributable to the lower margin highway tape product line from Snoline and from the Company’s Diversified Manufacturing business unit. BSI revenues were also higher in the quarter. While BSI completed a significant project in Puerto Rico during the quarter, the Company continues to see strong domestic and international interest in its movable barrier and crash cushion product lines.

Gross Margin

Gross profit was $37.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2008, an increase of $12.7 million as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2007. Gross margin was 25.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2008 compared to 26.2% for the same prior year period. The gross margin on irrigation products increased during the quarter over the same time last year, while margin on infrastructure products decreased due to unfavorable product mix and higher input costs on contract manufacturing orders.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s operating expenses of $16.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2008 were $3.7 million higher than the same prior year period. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of Watertronics, acquired in January of 2008, and higher personnel related expenses.

Interest, Other Income (Expense), net, and Taxes

Interest expense during the three months ended May 31, 2008 remained flat compared to the same prior year period.

     Interest income of $0.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2008 decreased $0.1 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily the result of lower interest bearing deposits and bond balances compared to the prior year period. Interest bearing deposit balances were lower due to working capital needs of the business.

     Other income, net during the three months ended May 31, 2008 decreased by $0.1 million when compared with the same prior year period.

     The Company’s effective tax rate of 30.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2008 is lower than the statutory effective tax rate primarily due to a correction of previously recorded tax expense related to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which resulted in a $1.1 million reduction in income tax expense for the quarter or $0.09 per diluted share (see Note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements). The rate was lower than the statutory rate after the correction due to the Section 199 domestic production activities deduction and other tax credits.

Net Earnings

Net earnings were $14.1 million or $1.15 per diluted share, for the three months ended May 31, 2008 compared with $7.5 million or $0.62 per diluted share for the same prior year period.

Revenues

Operating revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 increased 57% to $327.9 million compared with $208.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2007. This increase is attributable to a $95.4 million increase in irrigation equipment revenues and a $24.1 million increase in infrastructure products segment revenues.

     Domestic irrigation equipment revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 increased $50.1 million or 43% compared to the same period last year. Management believes that the combination of factors described above in the discussion of the three months ended May 31, 2008 also contributed to the increase in domestic irrigation revenues for the nine-month period.

     International irrigation equipment revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 increased $45.3 million or 96% over the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Management believes that the combination of factors described above in the discussion of the three months ended May 31, 2008 also contributed to the increase in international irrigation revenues for the nine-month period.

     Infrastructure products segment revenues of $68.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 represented an increase of $24.1 million or 55% from the same prior year period. The increase in revenues is attributable to strong revenues from BSI, rising more than 45% over the same period in the prior year. BSI completed a significant project in Puerto Rico during the third quarter and continues to see strong domestic and international interest in its moveable barrier and crash cushion product lines. Revenues from Snoline were also higher due to the inclusion of four additional months of activity

when compared to the same period in the prior year, as the business was acquired at the end of December 2006. Revenues for the Company’s Diversified Manufacturing business unit were also higher in the period.

Gross Margin

Gross profit for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 was $86.4 million, an increase of $35.1 million as compared to the same prior year period. Gross margin percentage for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 increased to 26.4% from the 24.6% achieved during the same prior year period. The improved gross margin is a result of achieving higher margins in the irrigation equipment market resulting from improved efficiencies in the manufacturing operations, increased volume and cost reduction initiatives. The increased irrigation equipment margins were slightly offset by decreased infrastructure products margins resulting from unfavorable product mix and higher input costs on contract manufacturing orders.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 rose by $10.1 million or 30% from the same prior year period. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 is primarily attributable to the inclusion of Watertronics, acquired in January of 2008, and Snoline, acquired in December of 2006, as well as higher personnel related expenses.

Interest, Other Income (Expense), net, Taxes

Interest expense during the nine months ended May 31, 2008 of $2.2 million increased $0.4 million from the $1.8 million recognized during the same period of fiscal 2007. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in borrowings incurred to finance the acquisitions of Snoline and Watertronics.

     Interest income during the nine months ended May 31, 2008 decreased by $0.3 million compared to the same prior year period. The Company had lower interest bearing deposits and bond balances compared to the same prior year period due to working capital needs of the business.

     Other income, net during the nine months ended May 31, 2008 increased by $0.2 million when compared with the same prior year period. The increase is primarily due to gains realized on foreign currency transactions, partially offset by other expenses.

     The Company’s effective tax rate of 33.5% for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 is lower than the statutory effective tax rate primarily due to a correction of previously recorded tax expense related to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which resulted in a $0.5 million reduction in year to date income tax expense or $0.04 per diluted share (see Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The rate was lower than the statutory rate after the correction due to federal tax-exempt interest income on the investment portfolio, the Section 199 domestic production activities deduction, and other tax credits.

Net Earnings

Net earnings were $28.2 million or $2.29 per diluted share for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 compared with $11.8 million or $0.99 per diluted share for the same prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company requires cash for financing its receivables and inventories, paying operating costs and capital expenditures, and for dividends. The Company meets its liquidity needs and finances its capital expenditures from its available cash and funds provided by operations along with borrowings under three primary credit arrangements that are described in Note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

     The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $19.1 million at May 31, 2008 compared with $40.7 million at May 31, 2007. At May 31, 2008, the Company held no marketable securities.

     The Company’s wholly-owned European subsidiary, Lindsay Europe, has an unsecured revolving line of credit with a commercial bank under which it could borrow up to 2.3 million Euros, which equates to approximately USD $3.6 million as of May 31, 2008, for working capital purposes. As of May 31, 2008 and 2007, there was $1.5 million and $0 outstanding on the Euro Line of Credit, respectively. Under the terms of the Euro Line of Credit, borrowings, if any, bear interest at a variable rate in effect from time to time designated by the commercial banks as Euro LIBOR plus 200 basis points (all inclusive, 5.5% at May 31, 2008). Unpaid principal and interest is due by October 31, 2008, which is the termination date of the Euro Line of Credit.

     The Company entered into an unsecured $30 million Term Note and Credit Agreement, each effective as of June 1, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “BSI Term Note”) to partially finance the acquisition of BSI. Borrowings under the BSI Term Note bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. However, this variable interest rate has been converted to a fixed rate of 6.05% through an interest rate swap agreement with the lender. Principal is

repaid quarterly in equal payments of $1.1 million over a seven-year period commencing September, 2006. The BSI Term Note is due in June of 2013.

     On December 27, 2006, the Company entered into an unsecured $13.2 million seven-year Term Note and Credit Agreement (the “Snoline Term Note”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in conjunction with the acquisition of Snoline, S.P.A. and the holding company of Snoline, Flagship Holding Ltd. Borrowings under the Snoline Term Note are guaranteed by the Company and bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. On the same day, the Company entered into a cross currency swap transaction obligating the Company to make quarterly payments of 0.4 million Euros per quarter over the same seven-year period and to receive payments of $0.5 million per quarter. In addition, the variable interest rate was converted to a fixed rate of 4.7%. This is approximately equivalent to converting the $13.2 million seven-year Snoline Term Note into a 10.0 million Euro seven-year Term Note at a fixed rate of 4.7%. The Snoline Term Note is due in December of 2013.

     The Company entered into an unsecured $30.0 million Revolving Credit Note and Revolving Credit Agreement, each effective as of January 24, 2008, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The borrowings from the Revolving Credit Agreement will primarily be used for working capital purposes and funding acquisitions. The Company borrowed an initial amount of $15.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to partially fund the acquisition of Watertronics The Company subsequently repaid the $15.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, leaving no outstanding balance and an unused borrowing capacity of $30.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of May 31, 2008.

     Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. Interest is repaid on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on loan type. The Company also pays a commitment fee of 0.125% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Agreement. Unpaid principal and interest is due by January 23, 2010, which is the termination date of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

     The BSI Term Note, the Snoline Term Note and the Revolving Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Notes”) each contain the same covenants, including certain covenants relating to Lindsay’s financial condition. Upon the occurrence of any event of default of these covenants specified in the Notes, including a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Notes), all amounts due under the Notes may be declared to be immediately due and payable. At May 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants.

     The Company believes its current cash resources, projected operating cash flow, and bank lines of credit are sufficient to cover all of its expected working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividends, and other cash requirements, excluding potential acquisitions.

     Cash used in operations totaled $3.6 million during the nine months ended May 31, 2008 compared to $4.4 million used in operations during the same prior year period. The decrease in cash used in operations was primarily due to a $16.4 million increase in cash provided by net income, a $1.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $5.5 million increase in other current liabilities, a $1.6 million decrease in other current assets and a $1.3 million increase in accounts payable. These were partially offset by an $18.9 million increase in receivables, a $4.4 million increase in current taxes payable and $3.1 million net increase in other noncurrent assets and liabilities.

     Cash used in investing activities totaled $4.4 million during the nine months ended May 31, 2008 compared to cash used in investing activities of $25.9 million during the nine months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a $52.9 million decrease in purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by a decrease of $23.4 million from proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, a $3.7 million increase in cash used for the acquisition of businesses, and a $4.3 million increase in cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment.

     Cash provided by financing activities totaled $5.2 million during the nine months ended May 31, 2008 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $8.8 million during the same prior year period. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to a $15.9 million increase in principal payments on long-term debt. These were partially offset by a $7.7 million increase in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, $3.1 million increase in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the stock compensation plan and a $1.8 million increase in proceeds from issuance of long-term debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has certain off balance sheet arrangements as described in Note Q to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007. The Company does not believe these arrangements are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

In addition to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007, on January 24, 2008, the Company entered into an unsecured $30.0 million Revolving Credit Note and Revolving Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. There have been no other material

changes in the Company’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, including the effects of the adoption of FIN 48.

Market Conditions and Fiscal 2008 Outlook

Strong agricultural commodity prices and higher Net Farm Income are favorable drivers for the Company’s irrigation equipment. Globally, long-term drivers remain positive as population growth, the need for productivity improvements and fresh water constraints drive demand for the Company’s efficient irrigation technology. In addition, the Company expects the strength of demand and interest in road safety infrastructure products to have a favorable impact on the Company. Demand for the Company’s products may, however, be adversely affected by variable factors such as weather, crop prices and governmental action including funding delays. The Company will continue to create shareholder value by pursuing a balance of organic growth opportunities, strategic acquisitions, share repurchases and dividend payments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2009. Management is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (“SFAS No. 159”). This Statement, which is expected to expand fair value measurement, permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2009. Management is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2010. Management is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment to SFAS No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161),” which requires enhanced disclosures about how derivative and hedging activities affect the Company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 will be effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of its fiscal year 2009. Management is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s related amendments to remove the GAAP hierarchy from auditing standards. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP No. FAS 142-3”). FSP No. FAS 142-3 requires companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset to consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, to consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for SFAS No. 142’s, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, entity-specific factors. FSP No. FAS 142-3 will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2010. Management is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments to hedge exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

     The Company has manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Brazil, Italy and South Africa. The Company has sold products throughout the world and purchases certain of its components from third-party international suppliers. Export sales made from the United States are principally U.S. dollar denominated. Accordingly, these sales are not subject to significant currency transaction risk. However, a majority of the Company’s revenue generated from operations outside the United States is denominated in local currency. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, the Brazilian real, and the South African rand in relation to the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies create exposures, which can adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

     In order to reduce translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of its international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, the Company utilizes Euro foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its Euro net investment exposure in its foreign operations. At May 31, 2008, the Company had one outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contract to sell 12.5 million Euro on August 29, 2008 at a fixed price of $1.5437 USD per Euro. The exchange rate at May 31, 2008 was $1.5523 USD per Euro. The Company’s foreign currency forward contract qualifies as a hedge of net investments in foreign operations under the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

     In order to reduce interest rate risk on the $30 million BSI Term Note, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that is designed to convert the variable interest rate on the entire amount of this borrowing to a fixed rate of 6.05% per annum. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments on an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the BSI Term Note, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt.

     Similarly, the Company entered into a cross currency swap transaction fixing the conversion rate of Euros to U.S. dollars for the Snoline Term Note at 1.3195 and obligating the Company to make quarterly payments of 0.4 million Euros per quarter over the same seven-year period as the Snoline Term Note and to receive payments of $0.5 million per quarter. In addition, the variable interest rate was converted to a fixed rate of 4.7%. This is approximately equivalent to converting the $13.2 million seven-year Snoline Term Note into a 10.0 million Euro seven-year Term Note at a fixed rate of 4.7%. Under the terms of the cross currency swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt.

ITEM 4 — Controls and Procedures

     As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer (PEO) and principal financial officer (PFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 31, 2008.

     Additionally, the PEO and PFO determined that there have been no significant changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 — Legal Proceedings

     In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Company is involved, from time to time, in commercial litigation, employment disputes, administrative proceedings, and other legal proceedings. None of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

Environmental Matters

     In 1992, the Company entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States Government (“the EPA”) in which the Company committed to remediate environmental contamination of the groundwater that was discovered in 1982 through 1990 at and adjacent to its Lindsay, Nebraska facility (“the site”). The site was added to the EPA’s list of priority superfund sites in 1989. Between 1993 and 1995, remediation plans for the site were approved by the EPA and fully implemented by the Company. Since 1998, the primary remaining contamination at the site has been the presence of volatile organic chemicals in the groundwater. In 2003, the Company and the EPA conducted a second five-year review of the status of the remediation of the contamination of the site. As a result of this review, the EPA issued a letter placing the Company on notice that additional remediation actions were required. The Company and its environmental consultants have completed and submitted a supplemental remedial action work plan that, when implemented, will allow the

Company and the EPA to better identify the boundaries of the contaminated groundwater and will allow the Company and the EPA to more effectively assure that the contaminated groundwater is being contained by current and planned wells that pump and aerate it. During fiscal 2007, the Company increased its environmental remediation accrual for expected costs to address the additional remediation action required by the EPA and to remain in compliance with the EPA’s second five-year review. Although the Company has been able to reasonably estimate the cost of completing the remediation actions defined in the supplemental remedial action work plan, it is at least reasonably possible that the cost of completing the remediation actions will be revised in the near term. Related balance sheet liabilities recognized were $0.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million at May 31, 2008 and 2007, and August 31, 2007, respectively.

ITEM 1A — Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors as described in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007.

ITEM 2 — Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company made no repurchases of its common stock under the Company’s stock repurchase plan during the nine months ended May 31, 2008; therefore, tabular disclosure is not presented. From time to time, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Under this share repurchase plan, the Company has existing authorization to purchase, without further announcement, up to 881,139 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market or otherwise.
