Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Each of the Group Members acquired his, her or its
shares of Common Stock for investment purposes.
Each of the Original Group Members executed separate
letters (collectively, the "Demand Letters" and, individually,
a "Demand Letter") dated June 6, 1996, except in the case of (a)
Rose Rita Graetz, who directed Lombard Odier & Cie, with respect
to 4,506 shares of Common Stock, and Rahn & Bodmer, with respect
to 48,757 shares of Common Stock, each as the nominee holder of
such shares on behalf of Ms. Graetz, to execute a Demand Letter,
(b) Great Eslyn Side Inc., which directed Swiss American
Securities Inc., as the nominee holder of such shares on behalf
of Great Eslyn Side Inc., to execute a Demand Letter, and (c)
Silvano Cominelli, who directed Banca Novara (Suisse), as the
nominee holder of record on behalf of Mr. Cominelli, to execute
a Demand Letter. Experta AG, a Swiss investment company, also
executed a Demand Letter. To the knowledge and belief of the
Group Members, Experta AG beneficially owned 8,018 shares of
Common Stock as of June 6, 1996, but has since sold all of its
shares of Common Stock and, other than its execution of such
Letter, has not participated with the Group Members in any of
the activities discussed herein.
On August 28, 1996, subsequent to the execution and
delivery to the Company of the Demand Letters, Peter Friedli
purchased 19,334 shares of Common Stock held in nominee name by
Banca Novara (Suisse) on behalf of Silvano Cominelli at a price
of $3.00 per share. Such shares represented Mr. Cominelli's
entire interest in the Company. In addition, on August 15,
1996, subsequent to the execution and delivery to the Company of
the Demand Letters, Courtag AG sold all of its shares of Common
Stock at an aggregate price of $12,000. Hans C. Ochsner became
a Group Member in October 1996, when he agreed to join the Purus
Stockholders' Protective Committee (the "Committee"), as more
fully discussed below. As a result of the above described
dispositions of shares of Common Stock and Mr. Ochsner's
participation in the Committee, the group is currently comprised
of Peter Friedli, Rose Rita Graetz, Lombard Odier & Cie, Friedli
Corporate Finance AG, Cofinvest 97 Ltd., Great Eslyn Side Inc.
and Hans Ochsner, who are sometimes collectively referred to
herein as "Current Group Members". When used herein, the term
"Group Members" shall refer to both Original Group Members and
Current Group Members.
Each of the Demand Letters called for a special
meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Special Meeting"),
pursuant to Article III, Section 6(a) of the Company's By-laws
and the Delaware General Corporation Law and requested that the
Board of Directors deliver notice of such a meeting to the
stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Article III,
Sections 6(b) and 7 of the By-laws. Pursuant to Section 6(a) of
the Company's By-laws, a special meeting of the stockholders of
the Company may be called by holders of shares of Common Stock
entitled to cast not less than 20% of the votes at such meeting.
As stated in each of the Demand Letters, the Original Group
Members' purpose for calling the Special Meeting was to consider
removal of members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
On August 1, 1996, Russell K. Burbank, Chairman of the
Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
advised Mr. Friedli in writing that the stockholders who had
requested the Special Meeting in the Demand Letters did not
constitute the holders of record of at least 20% of the
outstanding Common Stock. In response, by letter dated August
8, 1996, Mr. Friedli confirmed that certain of the stockholders
listed in the Demand Letters were indeed the holders of shares
of Common Stock entitled to cast greater than 20% of the votes
at a special meeting of stockholders. Mr. Friedli also demanded
a list of the Company's stockholders in preparation for the
requested Special Meeting, which he received from the Company on
August 15, 1996.
Two of the Current Group Members, Peter Friedli and
Hans C. Ochsner, formed the Committee to solicit proxies in
connection with the Special Meeting to be held on November 20,
1996, two days prior to the Company's 1996 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders announced for November 22, 1996 (the "Annual
Meeting"). The purpose of the Special Meeting is to request
stockholder approval for the removal of two of the three current
members of the Company's Board of Directors. The Current Group
Members, representing 26.34% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock as of the date of this filing (see Item 5
hereof), have informed the Committee of their intent to support
its proxy solicitation efforts and to execute proxies in favor
of the Committee's proposal to remove two of the three current
members.
Currently, the Board of Directors of the Company is
comprised of the following three individuals: Russell K.
Burbank, Michael V. Dettmers and Reinhard Siegrist. The
Committee intends to solicit proxies to be voted at the Special
Meeting for the removal of Messrs. Burbank and Dettmers from the
Board of Directors. If successful, the Committee will recommend
that Mr. Siegrist, as the sole remaining Board member, fill the
vacancies created by such removals by appointing Messrs. Joel R.
Meznick and Hans C. Ochsner as new directors of the Company.
Neither the Committee nor any Group Members have any agreement
or arrangement with Mr. Siegrist concerning his remaining on the
Board or his appointment of the nominees for director
recommended by the Committee. The Committee will also recommend
that the reconstituted Board move to adjourn and reschedule the
Annual Meeting for no later than February 1997. The Committee
hopes that the reconstituted Board will utilize this time to
develop a plan for future growth of the Company and to
re-examine the prudence of a proposed cash dividend of $3.00 per
share, for which the Company's current Board is seeking approval
at the Annual Meeting.
The Current Group Members are also dissatisfied with
the performance of Mr. Burbank as the president and chief
executive officer of the Company and will recommend that the
newly constitute Board seriously consider whether his continued
service is in the best interest of the Company.
The Committee has retained a proxy solicitation firm
in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Special
Meeting and will agree to be responsible for the fees and
expenses of such solicitor. The Committee may seek
reimbursement from the Company for those fees and expenses and,
in such event, does not intend to seek stockholder approval for
such reimbursement at a subsequent meeting unless such approval
is required under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Group Members intend to continually assess the
market for the Common Stock, as well as the Company's financial
position and operations. The Group Members do not have plans to
acquire additional shares of Common Stock at the present time,
but may determine to acquire additional shares in the future
depending on, among other things, the prevailing market price of
the Common Stock. The Group Members may determine, from time to
time or at any time, to sell or otherwise dispose of some or all
of the Common Stock, depending upon a continuing assessment and
upon future developments. In making any such determination, the
Group Members will consider their goals and objectives, other
business opportunities available to them, as well as general
economic and stock market conditions. The foregoing actions may
be taken by one or more of the Group Members and, while
currently there are no plans to do so, possibly in combination
with others.
Except as set forth above, the Group Members do not
have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in
any of the following:
(a) The acquisition of additional securities of the
Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company;
(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as
a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company
or any of its subsidiaries;
(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
(d) Any material change in the present capitalization
or dividend policy of the Company;
(e) Any other material change in the Company's
business or corporate structure;
(f) Changes in the Company's charter, By-laws, or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may
impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;
(g) A class of securities of the Company being
delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be
authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of
a registered national securities association;
(h) A class of equity securities of the Company
becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or
(i) Any action similar to any of those enumerated
above.
Although, except as disclosed herein, the Group
Members have no plans or proposals to engage in any of the
transactions specified in paragraphs (a) through (i) of this
Item 4, one or more of the Group Members may consider one or
more of such transactions in the future depending upon factors
including, but not limited to, the market for the Company's
Common Stock, the Company's prospects, alternative investment
opportunities, general economic, business and monetary
conditions, as well as other factors deemed relevant from time
to time.

Stock reported owned by each person herein is based upon 651,192

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
Issuer
Peter Friedli provides investment advice to certain of
the Group Members. In addition, Mr. Friedli provides investment
advice to certain other foreign stockholders of the Company who,
in the aggregate, hold approximately 20% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock. In such connection, Mr.
Friedli has recommended the purchase of securities of the
Company for their own accounts and advised his clients on the
conversion of certain of such securities. However, except as
disclosed in this Schedule 13D, none of such persons is a Group
Member nor have any such persons indicated an intent to so
become a Group Member. Mr. Friedli disclaims any dispositive or
voting power over the shares of Common Stock owned by such
stockholders, and, accordingly, disclaims beneficial ownership
of all such shares of Common Stock. Nevertheless, Mr. Friedli
acknowledges that the holders of Common Stock advised by him are
likely to vote their respective shares of Common Stock in a
manner he advises.
The Group Members have informed the Committee of their
intent to support its proxy solicitation efforts and to execute
proxies in favor of the Committee's proposal to remove two of
the three current members.
Mr. Friedli served as a director of the Company from
its inception until his resignation from the Board on November
17, 1995. In addition, the Company has retained Friedli
Corporate Finance AG as its investment banker since its
inception. The Company claims that it terminated such
arrangement on July 22, 1996. Mr. Friedli was principal of
Friedli Corporate Finance AG until January 1, 1996.
Each of the Group Members has executed a Joint Filing
Agreement, dated as of October 21, 1996 (the "Joint Filing
Agreement"), pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f) of the Exchange Act
pursuant to which such Group Members granted a power of attorney
in favor of Mr. Friedli to execute on their behalf this
Schedule 13D and all amendments hereto and such other documents
in connection therewith, and to file the same with the
Commission on behalf of such Group Members.

Re: Purus, Inc.
Dear Mr. Burbank:
I am writing in response to your letter dated August
1, 1996. Contrary to your statement, on June 6, 1996, you
were contacted by stockholders representing the holders of
shares entitled to cast greater than twenty percent of the
votes at a special meeting of stockholders of Purus, Inc.
("Purus"). Specifically, the following stockholders (among
others) contacted you and requested that the Board of
Directors of Purus (the "Board") give notice of and hold a
special meeting of stockholders:
-- Banca Novara (Suisse) -- entitled to vote
19,333 common shares (as the beneficial owner
and record holder of 19,333 common shares);
-- Swiss American Securities, Inc. -- entitled to
vote 40,850 common shares (as the beneficial
owner of 40,850 common shares held by Rush &
Co. as the record holder);
-- Lombard Odier Zurich AG -- entitled to vote
16,162 common shares (as the beneficial owner
of 16,162 common shares held by Ryco & Co. as
the record holder);
-- Cofinvest 97 Ltd. -- entitled to vote 36,555
common shares (as the beneficial owner and
record holder of 10,000 common shares, and as
the beneficial owner of 26,555 common shares
held by Banque Indosuez as the record holder);
-- Rahn & Bodmer -- entitled to vote 49,606
common shares (as the beneficial owner and
record holder of 49,606 common shares); and
-- Peter Friedli -- entitled to vote 9,000 common
shares (as the beneficial owner and record
holder of 9,000 common shares).
In sum, on June 6, 1996, the holders of shares entitled to
cast at least 24.86 percent of the votes at a special meeting
of stockholders called for a special meeting.
Further, even if the correspondence received by you
on June 6, 1996, calling for a special meeting of stockholders
was defective -- which it was not -- the fact that you waited
approximately 60 days to notify the stockholders that
contacted you of your (and presumably the Board's) objection
to their notice demonstrates a lack of good faith, reflecting
that entrenchment is the Board's sole motive in failing to
give notice of and hold a special meeting of stockholders.
Such conduct by the Board is in direct conflict with the
obligations owed by directors to stockholders under Delaware
law and represents a breach of fiduciary duty by the directors
of Purus.
Accordingly, based upon the foregoing, I have
enclosed herewith a letter made under oath demanding a list of
stockholders (together with related materials identified
therein) as permitted under Section 220 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, and fully intend to call for a
special meeting of stockholders as permitted under Article
III, Section 6(b) of the By-Laws.
Sincerely,
Peter Friedli
