Item 5. Other Events
On June 12, 1995 the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
approved the formation of a Joint Venture with Nalco Chemical Company
("Nalco"). Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, a fifty
fifty partnership was formed, Treated Water Outsourcing, a Nalco/U.S.
Filter Joint Venture ("Two"). Two has been established to engage in
the business of building, owning and operating water purification
facilities on customer's sites under long-term agreements. Under the
Joint Venture, equipment will be purchased from the Company and
chemical supplies will be purchased from Nalco.
The Joint Venture is expected to leverage strengths of both companies.
Through its recent acquisition from the B.F. Goodrich Company
("Goodrich") of Arrowhead Industrial Water, Inc. ("Arrowhead"), a
leading provider of on-site owned and operated water treatment systems
and services in the United States, the Company now specializes in the
operation of water treatment plants. Nalco's strengths in water
chemistry technology and sales distribution complement the Company's
offering. None of the contracts or other tangible assets of Arrowhead
acquired from Goodrich were contributed by the Company to the Joint
Venture or Nalco and, similarly, no equalization payment to the Joint
Venture or the Company was made by Nalco. A copy of the news release
respecting the formation of the Joint Venture is included as an
exhibit to this Current Report.
