Item 2. Disposition of Assets
On June 1, 2000, Thermo TerraTech (the "Company") sold substantially all
of the assets and liabilities of its metal treating business (the "Metal
Treating Business"), which includes the Company's Metallurgical, Inc., Cal-Doran
Metallurgical Services, Inc., and Metal Treating Inc. subsidiaries, to Lindberg
Corporation (the "Buyer") for $15.7 million in cash, subject to adjustment as
described below. The purchase price includes $1.1 million of real estate leased
by the Metal Treating Business that was owned by Thermo Electron Corporation,
the Company's parent. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that within 30 days
of the closing date of the sale, the Buyer will determine the net book value of
the Metal Treating Business as of the closing date. If the net book value,
including the real estate owned by Thermo Electron, is more than $8,323,000, the
purchase price will be increased dollar for dollar by the amount of the
increase. Alternatively, if the net book value is less than $8,323,000, the
purchase price will be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of the shortfall.
The assets sold in the transaction include all contracts, accounts
receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, fixed assets (plant and equipment),
and proprietary rights (including the "Cal-Doran National City," "Cal-Doran,"
"Metallurgical Services, Inc.," "Metal Treating Inc.," "Metallurgical
Incorporated," and "SCAT" tradenames) of the Metal Treating Business. The Buyer
assumed all operating liabilities of the Metal Treating Business including
liabilities and obligations under the purchased contracts and all liabilities
and obligations relating to the purchased real property.
The Buyer also assumed all environmental liabilities arising from the
Company's operation of the Metal Treating Business except for environmental
liabilities arising from or relating to certain sites and activities as
described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. In the event that after the closing,
the Buyer incurs greater than $1 million in expenses resulting from such
environmental liabilities, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Buyer for
reasonable environmental expenses in excess of $1,000,000, but not to exceed
$3,500,000. The Company's indemnity obligation pertains only to those
environmental liabilities arising from conditions identified by the Buyer
between June 1, 2000, and June 1, 2002. The Company has not recorded a liability
in connection with this indemnity because the amount that would likely be paid
by the Company, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.
