Note 1. Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
        ----------------------------------------------

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
        prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
        U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and
        footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared 
        in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
        condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations.  The condensed
        consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and
        disclosures which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
        fair presentation of the information contained therein.  All such
        adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The condensed
        consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
        the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are
        contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
        year ended March 31, 1995.  The results of operations for the interim
        periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full
        fiscal year.

        Income per Common Share
        -------------------------

        Income per common share is computed based on the weighted average
        number of shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents, consisting of
        convertible preferred stock, options and warrants are included in the
        computation of income per share when their effect is dilutive.  All
        income per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial
        statements have been restated to reflect a three for two common stock
        split effective December 1994.

        Primary and fully diluted income per common share for the three and
        six month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, were calculated as
        follows:

      Note 3.  Acquisitions
               ------------

      On August 11, 1995, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets
      and assumed certain liabilities of Continental H2O Services, Inc., an
      Illinois corporation d/b/a Interlake Water Systems ("Interlake"), pursuant
      to an Asset Purchase Agreement among the Company, Interlake and the
      Stockholders of Interlake.  The acquisition was effective as of August 1,
      1995.  The purchase price for the acquisition of Interlake was
      approximately $27,000,000 consisting of $20,000,000 in cash and the
      delivery of 334,628 shares of common stock.

      Interlake provides water treatment services, including service
      deionization ("SDI"), in Illinois and Michigan. In addition, Interlake
      sells and services a broad range of complex water treatment systems and is
      the largest distributor of the Company's Continental product line in the
      United States. The acquisition of Interlake has been accounted for as a
      purchase, and, accordingly, the results of operations of Interlake for the
      three months ended September 30, 1995 are included from the date of
      acquisition. The excess of fair value of net assets acquired was
      approximately $19,000,000, and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
      over 40 years.

      On April 3, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
      stock of The Permutit Company Limited, a U.K. corporation and The Permutit
      Company Pty Ltd., an Australian corporation (collectively the "Permutit
      Group"), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and
      Thames Water PLC, a U.K. corporation.  The aggregate purchase price was
      approximately $9,000,000, and was paid entirely in cash.

      The Permutit Group provides a range of products, including pre-engineered
      water treatment systems for the pharmaceutical, laboratory and chemical
      markets and other commercial customers.  The acquisition of The Permutit
      Group has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the results
      of operations of The Permutit Group for the six months ended September 30,
      1995 are included in the Company's consolidated statements of income.
      The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired was
      approximately $7,200,000 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
      over 40 years.

      On May 4, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
      outstanding capital stock of Arrowhead Industrial Water, Inc. ("AIW") from
      B.F. Goodrich Company ("Goodrich") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
      dated as of February 27, 1995, as amended. The acquisition was effective
      as of April 30, 1995. The all-cash purchase price was $80,000,000 and is
      subject to adjustment based upon the net asset value of AIW, as determined
      as of April 30, 1995 by comparing AIW's audited net asset value as of
      April 30, 1995 with the audited net asset value as of December 31, 1994.
      The Company and Goodrich disagree as to the amount of such adjustment, and
      are currently engaged in discussions to resolve this issue pursuant to the
      terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

   Note 4.  Convertible Subordinated Notes
            ------------------------------

            On September 18, 1995 the Company sold $140,000,000 aggregate
            principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due September
            15, 2005.  The notes are convertible into common stock at any time

            $27.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
            The notes are not redeemable prior to September 23, 1998 at which
            time the notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole
            or in part, at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid
            interest to the date of redemption.  Interest is payable semi-
            annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on
            March 15, 1996.

            Additionally, on September 18, 1995, certain warrants to purchase
            2,500,000 shares of Company common stock were exercised by
            affiliates of Laidlaw Inc. in exchange for the delivery of
            $45,000,000 principal amount of Subordinated Notes due 2001.

               --------------------
               On May 3, 1995, the Company completed an underwritten public
               offering of 6,900,000 shares of its common stock at a price
               equal to $15.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company, after
               underwriting discounts and commissions and before other related
               expenses, were $98,118,000.

      Note 6.  Subsequent Event
               ----------------

               On October 2, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
               capital stock of Polymetrics, Inc. ("Polymetrics"), a California
               corporation, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
               August 29, 1995, as amended, between the Company and Anjou
               International Company, a U.S. subsidiary of Compagnie Generale
               des Eaux of France. The total purchase price for the acquisition
               of Polymetrics was approximately $58,000,000, consisting of
               $50,000,000 in cash and delivery by the Company of 371,229 shares
               of common stock. Polymetrics designs, manufactures, installs and

               pharmaceutical, laboratory, power generation and cogeneration
               industries.

               Polymetrics had revenues of $40,734,000 for the year ended
               December 31, 1994.  The acquisition will be accounted for by
               the Company as a purchase.

   ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            Results of Operations
            ---------------------

            Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1995 were
            $108,308,000, an increase of $41,107,000 from the $67,201,000 for
            the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  For the six months ended
            September 30, 1995, revenues increased $77,583,000 compared to the
            corresponding period in the prior year.  Revenues increased 61.2%
            and 63.5% for the three month and six month periods ended September
            30, 1995, respectively.  These increases were due primarily to
            acquisitions completed by the Company subsequent to September 30,
            1994.  Excluding the effect of these acquisitions, Company revenues
            increased approximately $10,138,000 or 15.1% from the corresponding
            three-month period of the prior fiscal year, and $19,038,000 or
            15.6% from the corresponding six-month period of the prior fiscal
            year.  Revenues from capital equipment sales for the three months
            ended September 30, 1995 represented 48.3% of total revenues, while
            revenues from services and operations represented 31.7%, and
            revenues from replacement parts and consumables represented 20.0%.

            Gross profit as a percentage of revenue ("gross margin") was 30.9%
            for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 compared to 28.7% in the
            corresponding quarter in the prior year.  For the six months ended
            September 30, 1995, the Company's gross margin was 30.7% as compared
            to 28.2% for the corresponding period in the prior year.  This
            increase in gross margin was due primarily to the shift in revenue
            mix to recurring and higher margin service-based revenues.

            Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9,008,000 to
            $24,994,000 as compared to the $15,986,000 in the comparable quarter
            in the prior year.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
            were 23.1% of revenues compared to 23.8% for the comparable quarter
            in the prior year.  For the six month period ended September 30,
            1995, selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.3%
            compared to 23.9% for the corresponding period in the prior year.
            These decreases in the percentage of selling, general and
            administrative expenses to revenues were due primarily to the
            benefits derived from economies of scale resulting from growth in
            revenues, and the continued implementation of cost controls and
            elimination of certain redundancies.

            Interest expense increased to $3,034,000 for the quarter ended
            September 30, 1995 from $1,216,000 for the corresponding period in
            the prior year.  Interest expense for the three and six month
            periods ended September 30, 1995 consists primarily of interest on
            the Company's 5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2000,
            Subordinated Notes which were delivered in connection with the
            exercise of warrants to acquire common stock on September 18, 1995,
            6% Convertible Subordinated Notes issued on September 18, 1995
            due 2005, and borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit.
            At September 30, 1995, the Company had cash and short-term
            investments of $88,794,000.

            Income tax expense increased to $1,585,000 for the three months
            ended September 30, 1995, from $761,000 in the corresponding period
            in the prior year.  Income tax expense increased to $2,765,000 in
            the six month period ended September 30, 1995, from $1,258,000 in
            the corresponding period in the prior year.  These increases are
            attributable to increased net income.  The Company's effective tax
            rate for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1995
            was 26%.

            Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1995 was
            $4,509,000, an increase of $2,601,000 from the $1,908,000 for the
            quarter ended September 30, 1994.  For the six months ended
            September 30, 1995, net income increased $4,853,000 compared to the
            corresponding period in the prior year.  Net income increased 136.3%
            and 161.0% for the three month and six month periods ended September
            30, 1995, respectively.  Net income per common share increased to
            $0.35 per share (based upon 21,477,000 weighted average common
            shares outstanding) for the six months ended September 30, 1995 from
            $0.18 per common share (based upon 14,721,000 weighted average
            common shares outstanding) for the comparable period of the prior
            fiscal year.


            Liquidity and Capital Resources
            -------------------------------

            The Company's principal sources of funds are cash and other working
            capital, cash flow generated from operations and borrowings under
            the Company's bank line of credit. In addition, on May 3, 1995, the
            Company realized net proceeds of $98,118,000 before offering
            expenses from the sale of 6,900,000 shares of common stock and on
            September 18, 1995, the Company realized net proceeds of
            $136,325,000 before offering expenses from the issuance of 6%
            Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2005. At September 30, 1995 the
            Company had working capital of $187,501,000, including cash and
            short-term investments of $88,794,000. The Company's long-term debt
            at September 30, 1995 included $60,000,000 of 5% Convertible
            Subordinated Debentures due 2000, $140,000,000 of 6% Convertible
            Subordinated Notes due 2005, and notes payable totaling $11,189,000
            and bearing interest at rates ranging from 2.0% to 9.21%. As of
            September 30, 1995, there were borrowings of $3,384,000 and
            $9,558,000 of letters of credit outstanding under the Company's
            $50,000,000 bank line of credit, with respect to which the Company
            has pledged the stock of substantially all of its United States
            subsidiaries.

            On October 2, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
            capital stock of Polymetrics for a total purchase price of
            approximately $58,000,000, of which $50,000,000 was paid in cash.

            The Company believes its current cash position and available
            borrowings under the Company's line of credit will be adequate to
            meet its anticipated cash needs for working capital, revenue growth,
            scheduled debt repayment and capital investment objectives for the
            next twelve months.
