Exhibit 99.2

On December 21, 2009, Energy Recovery, Inc. (“ERI”) completed the acquisition of Pump Engineering, LLC (“PEI”), a privately held New Boston, Michigan based company, for cash consideration of approximately $20.0 million and 1.0 million shares of ERI common stock.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data was prepared using the purchase method of accounting and was based on the historical financial statements of ERI and PEI. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 combines the historical ERI and PEI balance sheets as if the acquisition had closed on September 30, 2009. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 combine the historical ERI and PEI statements of operations as if the acquisition had closed on January 1, 2008.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the results of the consolidated results of operations or financial position that would have been reported had the PEI acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information for all periods presented required management to make certain judgments and estimates to determine the pro forma adjustments such as purchase accounting adjustments, which include, among others, fair value of inventory and fixed assets acquired and amortization charges from acquired intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any cost savings and/or operating efficiencies that we may achieve with respect to the combined companies.

This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and accompanying notes of PEI (contained elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A), and ERI’s historical financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in its historical periodic SEC filings including Forms 10-K and 10-Q.

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data were prepared using the purchase method of accounting and was based on the historical financial statements of Energy Recovery, Inc. (“ERI”) and Pump Engineering, LLC (“PEI”) after giving effect to ERI’s acquisition of PEI on December 21, 2009. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 combines the historical ERI and PEI balance sheets as if the acquisition had closed on September 30, 2009. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 combine the historical ERI and PEI statements of operations as if the acquisition had closed on January 1, 2008.

We account for business combinations by allocating the purchase price of an acquired company to the net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values and have incorporated the allocations in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the results of the consolidated results of operations or financial position that would have been reported had the PEI acquisition occurred as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information for all periods presented required us to make certain judgments and estimates to determine the pro forma adjustments such as purchase accounting adjustments, which include, among others, fair value of inventory and fixed assets acquired and amortization charges from acquired intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any cost savings and/or operating efficiencies that we may achieve with respect to the combined companies.

2. PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

On December 21, 2009, ERI completed the acquisition of PEI for cash consideration of approximately $20.0 million, one million shares of ERI common stock and assumed liabilities of $2.5 million. The closing price of ERI stock at December 21, 2009 was $7.10 per share. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

The purchase consideration was allocated based on the estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from PEI. An allocation of the purchase price was made to major categories of assets and liabilities in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements based on management’s best estimates, assuming the acquisition of PEI had closed on September 30, 2009, using the fair value estimates from December 21, 2009. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill.

Purchase Price Allocation

The allocation of the purchase price in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 was prepared based on the results of a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the December 21, 2009 closing date, as presented below (in thousands):

Net Tangible Assets	$	7,178
Liabilities Assumed		(2,454	)
Purchased Intangible assets		10,900
Goodwill		11,476
Total purchase price	$	27,100

In performing our purchase price allocation, we considered, among other factors, our intention for future use of acquired assets, analyses of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of PEI’s products. The fair values of intangible assets were calculated primarily using an income approach and estimates and assumptions provided by both PEI and ERI management. The rates utilized to discount net cash flows to their present values were based on a range of discount rates of 15% to 23%. These discount rates were applied to the intangible assets to reflect the risk of the asset revenues derived from the respective intangible asset. The following table sets forth the components of intangible assets associated with the PEI acquisition (in thousands, except useful life):

	Preliminary		Useful Life
	Fair Value		Years

Developed Technology	$	6,100		10

Non-compete agreements		1,310		2 - 5

Backlog		1,300		1

Trademarks		1,200		20

Customer relationships		990		5
	$	10,900

Developed technology is comprised of products that have reached technological feasibility and are a part of PEI’s product lines. Developed technology represents a series of awarded patents, filed patent applications and core architectures that are used in PEI’s products and forms a major part of the architecture of both current and planned future product releases. Non-compete agreements and customer relationships represent the underlying relationships and agreements with PEI’s customers, employees and former owners. Backlog represents pending orders received, but not fulfilled as of the acquisition date. Lastly, trademarks represent products and services marketed under the Pump Engineering name that have a strong position in its niche market.

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The following pro forma adjustments are included in our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements:

(A) To record cash paid for PEI, transfer of cash to restricted cash for contingent escrow liability purposes and transfer of common shares to former owners of PEI.

(B) To accrue for estimated acquisition-related transaction costs.

(C) To record the difference between the historical amounts of PEI intangible assets and the fair values of PEI intangible assets acquired, as well as associated amortization expense

(D) To record goodwill related to the acquisition of PEI

(E) Note not utilized.

(F) To eliminate PEI membership equity and PEI retained loss.

(G) To record the difference between the historical amounts of PEI’s property and equipment, net of estimated fair values of the property acquired, as well as associated depreciation expense.

(H) To record the difference between the historical amounts of PEI’s inventory and estimated fair values of the inventory acquired.

(I) To record the amortization of the purchase accounting inventory step-up.

(J) To record associated options expense stemming from the initial grant of options to PEI employees upon merger.

(K) To record pro forma tax impact at the average estimated rates applicable to the jurisdictions in which the income (loss) was incurred.

4. PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in our unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the weighted average number of our common shares outstanding and are adjusted for additional stock awards issued as new hire awards to the PEI employees who joined ERI. The new hire PEI awards are assumed on an actual outstanding basis as if those awards had been issued at the acquisition date as of the beginning of each period presented without consideration for any subsequent award activity such as exercises and cancellations. We did not apply the treasury stock method for the PEI stock awards as the impact was immaterial to our weighted average common shares outstanding. Our acquisition of PEI did have a moderate impact to our basic weighted average common shares outstanding given that one million shares were issued to the previous owners of PEI. The common share issuance as well as the PEI new hire awards are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the periods presented.
