ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.
On May 10, 1996, Groundwater Technology, Inc. (now Fluor Daniel GTI,
Inc., herein the "Company") consummated certain transactions (the
"Transactions") pursuant to that certain Investment Agreement dated December 11,
1995 by and among the Company, Fluor Daniel, Inc. ("Fluor Daniel"), Fluor Daniel
Environmental Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fluor Daniel
("FDESI") and GTI Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company ("Newco"), as amended on March 29, 1996 (the "Investment Agreement").
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, immediately upon the closing of the
Transactions the Company effected a recapitalization (the "Recapitalization") of
its outstanding common stock, $.01 par value ("Old Common Stock") such that each
share of Old Common Stock was converted into the right to receive .5274 of a
share of common stock, $.001 par value ("New Common Stock") and $8.62 in cash.
Also immediately upon the closing, Newco was merged with and into FDESI (the
"Merger") and the Company and Fluor Daniel entered into a Marketing Agreement.
In the Merger Fluor Daniel received 4,400,000 shares of New Common Stock (the
"Fluor Shares") in exchange for all outstanding shares of FDESI and a cash
payment of $33.35 million. Fluor Daniel is a wholly owned subsidiary of FD
Engineers and Constructors, Inc. ("FD Engineers") and FD Engineers is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Fluor Corporation ("Fluor"). Fluor Daniel used funds from
its ultimate parent, Fluor, to purchase the Fluor Shares.
As a result of the Recapitalization and Merger, immediately following
the closing Fluor Daniel held 4,400,000 shares of New Common Stock, constituting
approximately 54.5 % of the total outstanding shares of New Common Stock.
Accordingly, Fluor Daniel's ultimate parent, Fluor, will have the voting power
to approve all matters requiring stockholder approval and, upon termination of
certain provisions respecting the voting of the Fluor Shares on April 30, 1999
(or the earlier waiver thereof), Fluor will be able to elect the entire Board of
Directors of the Company. The Company's existing stockholders, who held 100% of
the Company's Old Common Stock immediately prior to the closing, held
approximately 3,677,288 shares of New Common Stock constituting approximately
45.5 % of the total outstanding shares of New Common Stock immediately following
the closing.
In addition, Fluor Daniel purchased from the Company for $1,650,000 an
option (the "Option") pursuant to the terms of that certain Stock Option
Agreement dated as of December 11, 1995 between the Company and Fluor Daniel
(the "Option Agreement") exercisable for the purchase of up to an additional
1,768,970 shares of New Common Stock (as adjusted pursuant to the Option
Agreement) at an exercise price of $13.1274 per share (as adjusted pursuant to
the Option Agreement). The Option is not exercisable until December 11, 1996 and
expires on December 11, 1998. The terms of the Option are more fully described
in the Option Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 27, 1996, which exhibit is
incorporated herein by reference.
The terms of the Recapitalization, Merger and certain related
transactions referenced in this Item 1 and in Item 2 below are more fully
described in the Investment Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 27, 1996, which
exhibit is incorporated herein by reference, as amended by an Agreement of
-2-
Amendment dated March 29, 1996 and filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Company's

ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
As described under Item 1 above, on May 10, 1996 the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary Newco merged with and into FDESI pursuant to the
Investment Agreement. In the Merger, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
shares of FDESI common stock and a cash payment of $33.35 million, and the
Company and Fluor Daniel entered into the Marketing Agreement, in exchange for
4,400,000 shares of New Common Stock issued to Fluor Daniel. As noted above,
Fluor Daniel used funds from its ultimate parent, Fluor, to purchase the Fluor
Shares. FDESI's assets consisted principally of accounts receivable and contract
work in progress. At the time of the Merger, there were no material

thereof shall be entitled to receive (after aggregating all fractional
shares of New Common Stock to be received by the holder) an amount of cash

other class or classes or on any other series of stock; (iii) entitled to such
rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the
Corporation; or (iv) convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other
class or classes of stock, or of any other series of the same or any other class

B. COMMON STOCK.
1. Relative Rights of Preferred and Common Stock. All voting powers,
designations, preferences or relative participating, optional or other special
rights, and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, thereof of the
Common Stock are expressly made subject and subordinate to those that may be
fixed with respect to any shares of the Preferred Stock.
2. Voting Rights. Except as provided by law or this Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of Common Stock shall have one vote in
respect of each share of stock held by him of record on the books of the

Stock, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when

such remaining assets to any other corporation, trust or other entity and
receive payment therefore in cash, stock or obligations of such other
corporation, trust or entity or any combination so received and distribute any
balance thereof in kind to holders of Common Stock. Neither the merger or
consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation nor the
merger of any other corporation into it, nor any purchase or redemption of
shares of stock of the Corporation of any class, shall be deemed to be a
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up or the Corporation for the purposes of
this paragraph.
FIFTH. The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.
3
SIXTH. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by
statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized:
To make, alter or repeal the By-laws of the Corporation.
To authorize and cause to be executed mortgages and liens upon the real
and personal property of the Corporation.
To set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for
dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and to abolish any
such reserve in the manner in which it was created.
By a majority of the whole Board, to designate one or more committees, each
committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The
Board may designate one or more of the directors as alternate members of any
committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of
the committee. The By-laws may provide that in the absence or disqualification
of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting
and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum,
may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the
meeting in the place of any such absence or disqualified member. Any such
committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors,
or in the By-laws of the Corporation, shall have and may exercise all the powers
and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and
affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be
affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the
power or authority in reference to amending the certificate of incorporation,
adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the
stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the
Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a
dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution or amending the
By-laws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution or By-laws, expressly so
provide, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a
dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock.
When and as authorized by the stockholders in accordance with statute, to
sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of the property and assets of
the Corporation, including its good will and its corporate franchises, upon such
terms and conditions and for such consideration, which may consist in whole or
in part of money or property including shares of stock in, and/or other
securities of, any other corporation or corporations, as its Board of Directors
shall deem expedient and for the best interests of the Corporation.
SEVENTH. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of
Delaware, as the By-laws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept
(subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside the State of
Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the
Board of Directors or in the By-laws of the Corporation.
4
EIGHTH. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal
any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, in the matter now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all
rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this revision.
NINTH. The Corporation eliminates the personal liability of each member of
its Board of Directors to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that the foregoing
shall not eliminate the liability of the director (i) for any breach of such
director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware
Code or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper
personal benefit.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have hereunto set their hands and seal
this 10th day of May 1996.

2. BUSINESS PURPOSE/EXCLUSIVITY
2.1 The Parties agree that the purpose of this Marketing Agreement is
to establish the respective rights, roles and responsibilities of the Parties
and their Affiliates with regard to the pursuit of the Environmental Business
and TBS Opportunities on a worldwide basis. The Parties acknowledge that, in
their opinion, the future environmental services market will favor service
providers that can differentiate themselves from other providers by offering
creative
-4-
solutions to environmental problems. These creative solutions may involve the
service provider becoming a "stakeholder" in the client's solution and may
include accepting more risk in exchange for more reward (beyond accepting a fee
for services rendered on a time and materials basis). The Parties acknowledge
that these creative solutions will be applicable to both the Environmental
Business and to TBS Opportunities, and the Parties have agreed to enter into
this Marketing Agreement and to work together in Duality to provide services to
their respective clients. The Parties also agree to operate in Duality for areas
of potential overlap, including where such overlap is created by agreements with
other parties.
2.2 The Parties agree that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, as
between the Fluor Daniel Group and the GTI Group, the GTI Group shall have
primary responsibility for the marketing and execution of the Environmental
Business and the Fluor Daniel Group shall have primary responsibility for the
marketing and execution of TBS Opportunities. Fluor Daniel , on its behalf and
on behalf of the Fluor Daniel Group, will promote the use of the GTI Group for
Environmental Services that are related or incidental to its Engineering and
Construction Business or its TBS Opportunities, provided that the use of GTI is
acceptable to the client, that GTI has adequate available personnel and other
resources to timely and satisfactorily perform the work and its proposed
commercial terms are competitive with the market. GTI shall commit in good faith
to perform such Environmental Services as may be requested by Fluor Daniel, but
shall not be obligated to provide such Environmental Services if there's a valid
business reason for its refusal to perform such services. For purposes of this
Agreement, Fluor Daniel will evaluate the competitiveness of GTI's commercial
terms by comparing them to terms and conditions of other providers of
Environmental Services of the same quality and scope in the location of where
the services are to be provided, and reviewing them with GTI.
2.3 Within 30 day of the date of this Agreement, Fluor Daniel shall
notify its management and the management of its Affiliates of the marketing
relationship formed between the Parties and of the obligations of the Fluor
Daniel Group under this Agreement. Periodically throughout the terms of this
Agreement, Fluor Daniel will communicate with its management and the management
of its Affiliates to remind them of the marketing relationship formed between
the Parties and of the obligations of the Fluor Daniel Group under this
Agreement.
2.4 Within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, GTI shall notify its
management and the management of its Affiliates of the marketing relationship
formed between the Parties and of the obligations of the GTI Group under this
Agreement. Periodically throughout the term of this Agreement, GTI will
communicate with its management and the management of its Affiliates to remind
them of the marketing relationship formed between the Parties and of the
obligations of the GTI Group under this Agreement.
2.5 Prior to either Party forwarding a written communication to their
respective management pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 above, the Party
preparing to forward the communication shall give the other Party a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on the communication.

3. INTERCOMPANY SERVICES
3.1 Overhead Support Services. Subject to availability of qualified
personnel, each Party agrees to provide to the other Party, the services of its
employees (including technical, financial and administrative personnel) as may

general nature which are not related to a specific contract upon the terms and
conditions set forth in Exhibit A attached, which terms and conditions shall be
reviewed by the Parties bi-annually.
3.2 Contract Support. All Contract Support Services to be provided by
one Party to the other Party, shall be performed pursuant to Work Releases

bi-annually.

to the other Party shall be performed pursuant to Work Releases issued pursuant

and containing commercial terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit D, which
terms and conditions shall be reviewed by the Parties bi-annually.
3.4 Facilities. If and to the extent that Fluor Daniel provides office
space to GTI or a member of the GTI Group, applicable costs shall be charged for
such office space on the same basis as Fluor Daniel charges its other operating
subsidiaries. Fluor Daniel agrees to maintain appropriate health and safety
programs and procedures for the benefit of Fluor Daniel and GTI employees at
such office locations.
3.5 Each Party understands that the other Party will be involved in
other activities and undertakings not within the scope of this Marketing
Agreement. The Parties hereby agree that the execution of this Marketing
Agreement and the assumption by each of the Parties of its duties hereunder
shall be without prejudice to its rights to have such other interests and
activities and to receive and enjoy the profits or compensation therefrom.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may engage in or possess any
interest in any other business, undertaking, or venture of any nature or
description independently or with others and neither Party shall have any right
by virtue of this Marketing Agreement in and to such business, undertaking or
venture of the other Party or the income or profits derived therefrom. The
Parties agree to meet periodically to discuss joint marketing opportunities and
initiatives, to use reasonable efforts to keep each other fully advised of its
own marketing efforts with common clients and, with respect to the foregoing, to
establish mutually acceptable communications procedures. With any such common
clients it is understood that GTI will have the marketing lead for projects that
primarily involve Environmental Services and that Fluor Daniel will have the
marketing lead for TBS Opportunities and for projects that primarily involve
Engineering and Construction Services.

expressed in Sections 4.1 and 4.4 shall apply even in the event of the fault,
negligence or strict liability of the Party indemnified or released or whose
liability is limited.

The Board of Directors
FLUOR DANIEL ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Fluor Daniel Environmental
Services, Inc. as of April 30, 1995, and the related statements of earnings,
cash flows and parent company investment for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As more fully described in Notes 1 and 4, the Company is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Fluor Daniel, Inc. and has material transactions with Fluor
Daniel, Inc. and its affiliates.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Fluor Daniel Environmental
Services, Inc. at April 30, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Fluor Daniel Environmental Services, Inc. (the Company), is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Fluor Daniel, Inc. (Fluor Daniel), which through a holding company
is indirectly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fluor Corporation (Fluor). For
purposes of this presentation, the Company's fiscal year has been designated as
the annual period ending on April 30, however, for tax purposes, the year end is
October 31. Pursuant to an Investment Agreement dated December 11, 1995, between
Groundwater Technology, Inc. (GTI) and Fluor Daniel, the Company will merge into
GTI as part of an overall transaction wherein Fluor will acquire a 55 percent
ownership interest in GTI.
The accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the
"carved-out" financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the
Company as if the contracts and personnel that constitute the environmental
remediation business of Fluor had been operating as a separate entity.
Operations reflect all environmental remediation contract work performed by
Fluor personnel for all federally funded non-Department of Energy contracts,
remediation projects for other government agencies and environmental risk
assessment, permitting and remediation for commercial clients. Additionally, the
Company provides certain environmental consulting services to Fluor and other
affiliated entities. Revenues from these consulting services have been reflected
in the accompanying statements in accordance with a Marketing Agreement (the
Agreement), signed in conjunction with the Investment Agreement between GTI and
Fluor Daniel. Under the terms of the Agreement, affiliates are charged for labor
cost plus established multipliers on base compensation. Due to the variable and
often unpredictable nature of the Company's work load, consulting services are
provided to Fluor as conditions allow.
The financial statements do not include an allocation of corporate general
and administrative expenses by Fluor as management believes that no significant
general and administrative expenses were incurred with respect to the Company's
operations beyond those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
The Balance Sheet at April 30, 1995 and Statements of Earnings, Cash Flows
and Parent Company Investment for the year ended April 30, 1995, have been
audited whereas all other periods presented are unaudited.
SERVICE CONTRACTS
The Company recognizes revenues on long-term service contracts on the
percentage-of-completion method, primarily based on contract costs incurred to
date compared with total estimated contract costs. Changes to total estimated
contract costs and losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they
are determined. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified
as current assets under contract work in progress. Amounts billed to clients in
excess of revenues recognized to date are classified as current liabilities
under advance billings on contracts. The Company anticipates that substantially
all incurred costs associated with contract work in progress at January 31, 1996
will be billed and collected within twelve months. Accounts receivable do not
contain any significant amounts billed but not paid under retainage provisions
or claims.
INDIRECT EXPENSES
Indirect expenses include non-project costs of all environmental services
personnel assigned to the environmental operations of Fluor Daniel who are
available to provide services to the Company's clients and other Fluor Daniel
clients. Additionally, other indirect expenses primarily include charges from
Fluor Daniel for the fair value of rent for occupied space, computer usage and
other costs.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The majority of accounts receivable and contract work in progress are from
services provided to various U.S. government agencies. These contracts are
typically cost reimbursable government funded contracts that require payments as
projects progress or in certain cases advance payments. The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, which have been minimal,
have been within management's estimates.
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim unaudited financial statements presented include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal adjustments) that management considers necessary for
a fair presentation of its financial position at such dates and its operating
results and cash flows for those periods. Results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share information has been omitted since the Company has no
publicly traded equity securities.
2. INCOME TAXES
The operations of the Company are included in the consolidated federal
income tax return of Fluor. Under a tax allocation practice, the Company is
charged or credited by Fluor for federal income taxes, generally at the U.S.
statutory rate. The Company is also charged or credited for state income taxes.
As a result of the tax allocation practice, tax benefits associated with pre
1993 losses were recognized in the year the loss occurred. If the Company had
filed a separate return, these tax benefits would have been recognized in later
years, resulting in the elimination of substantially all of the income tax
expense for the years 1993 through 1995.
Deferred taxes reflect the tax effects of differences between the amounts
recorded as assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amount recorded for income tax purposes. The Company does not have any deferred
income taxes.
The income tax expense included in the Statement of Earnings is as follows
($ in thousands):

3. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Employees of the Company who meet certain eligibility requirements
participate in the non-contributory defined contribution retirement plan of
Fluor. Contributions to this plan are based on a percentage of the par-
ticipants' gross salaries. In addition, eligible employees are allowed to
contribute up to 10 percent of their salaries to a savings investment plan with
Fluor providing a matching contribution up to 4 percent of their salaries. The
cost of these plans is included in the payroll burden rate charged to the
Company by Fluor Daniel.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company advances to and receives non-interest bearing funds from Fluor
Daniel. The Company is dependent upon Fluor Daniel for continued financing,
including funding required, if any, for settlement of claims, working capital
requirements and third party bid and performance guarantees made in the ordinary
course of business.
All direct and indirect labor has been provided by employees of Fluor Daniel
and the Company is charged for all related labor and benefit costs. Employee
benefit costs are charged to the Company by application of a payroll burden rate
to total base compensation. Such costs remain the liability of Fluor Daniel.
Intercompany revenues were $6,167,000, $4,613,000 and $4,941,000 for the
years ended April 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $3,456,000 and
$3,498,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
5. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings, although
from time to time, it could become involved in litigation in the ordinary course
of business. The Company is contingently liable for commitments and performance
guarantees arising in the ordinary course of business. Claims arising from
service contracts have been made against the Company by clients, and the Company
has made certain claims against clients for costs incurred in excess of the
current contract provisions. The Company does not expect that the foregoing
matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results
of operations.
6. INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company provides a wide range of environmental services to both the
private and government sectors including scientific and engineering applications
from environmental assessment, permitting and remediation through design and
construction to operations and maintenance services. These services are provided
to a variety of different industries including petroleum, chemical, power,
pharmaceutical and others.
In the fiscal year ended 1993, 1994 and 1995 and for the nine month periods
ended January 31, 1995 and 1996, revenues from U.S. Federal agencies were as
