Helo.

One of possible solutions is presented below.
If you want the output to be text rather than XML, use
<xsl:output method="text"/> and modify the templates accordingly.

  <xsl:template match="/*">
    <pairs>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="row[cell[@column='2']]"/>
    </pairs>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="row">
    <pair>
      <xsl:variable name="state-row" 
select="preceding-sibling::row[cell[@column='1']][1]"/>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$state-row"><xsl:value-of 
select="$state-row/cell"/></xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>Unknown</xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
      <!---->-<xsl:value-of select="cell"/>
    </pair>
  </xsl:template>
