PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS.

General

Watts Industries, Inc., (the "Company") designs, manufactures and sells an extensive line of valves for the plumbing and heating, water quality, industrial, and oil and gas markets. Watts has focused on the valve industry since its inception in 1874, when it was founded to design and produce steam regulators for New England textile mills. The Company is a leading manufacturer and supplier of water service and water quality valve products, which account for over one-half of its sales. The Company's growth strategy emphasizes internal development of new valve products and entry into new markets for specialized valves and related products through diversification of its existing business and strategic acquisitions in related business areas, both domestically and abroad.

The Company's product lines include safety relief valves, regulators, thermostatic mixing valves, ball valves and flow control valves for water service primarily in residential and commercial environments, and metal and plastic water supply/drainage products including valves, tubular brass products, faucets, drains, sink strainers, compression and flare fittings, and plastic tubing and braided metal hose connectors for residential construction and home repair and remodeling; backflow preventers for preventing contamination of potable water caused by reverse flow within water supply lines; steam regulators and control devices for industrial, HVAC and naval/marine applications; ball valves, pneumatic and electric actuators, relief valves, check valves and butterfly valves for industrial applications; and valves for the oil and gas industry. Within a majority of the specific markets in which it participates, the Company believes it has the broadest product line in terms of the distinct designs, sizes and configurations of its valves. Products representing a majority of the Company's sales have been approved under regulatory standards incorporated into state and municipal plumbing and heating, building and fire protection codes. The Company is in the process of divesting its Municipal Water Group in order to concentrate on its core Plumbing and Heating and Water Quality, Industrial, and Oil and Gas businesses. The information contained in this Form 10-K excludes information related to the companies being divested. (See "Divestiture of Municipal Water Group").

The Company operates its own automated foundries for casting bronze and iron component parts. It has extensive facilities for machining bronze, brass, iron and steel components and assembling them into finished valves, and it has warehouses and sales offices for distributing those products. See Item 2. "Properties". As of June 30, 1996, these domestic and foreign operations employed approximately 3,840 people, plus 930 employees in the Company's joint ventures located in the People's Republic of China.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1985. The Company maintains its principal executive offices at 815 Chestnut Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 and its telephone number is (508) 688-1811.

DIVESTITURE OF MUNICIPAL WATER GROUP. The Company is currently in the process of divesting itself of its Municipal Water Group, which includes Henry Pratt Company ("Pratt"), James Jones Company ("Jones"), and Edward Barber & Co. Ltd. ("Barber"), in order to concentrate on its core Plumbing and Heating and Water Quality, Industrial, and Oil and Gas businesses. The Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement on June 19, 1996 for the sale of the Municipal Water Group to Tyco International Ltd. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data". Jones manufactures fire hydrants, underground service valves and fittings used for applications between water mains and meters. Pratt manufactures AWWA butterfly valves as well as ball, plug and check valves used in water distribution, water treatment, and waste water markets. Barber manufactures valves, meter boxes and accessories for the European municipal water market.

Recent Acquisitions

On August 28, 1995, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired Societe des Etablissements Rene TRUBERT ("Trubert") located in Chartres, France. Trubert manufactures thermostatic mixing valves


that are sold primarily for commercial and industrial applications in France and other European markets. The sales of Trubert for the twelve month period ended June 30, 1995 were approximately $8,000,000 with the majority of its sales concentrated in France.

On March 19, 1996, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired Artec GmbH ("Artec") located in Oberhausen, Germany. Artec assembles and distributes underfloor heating systems, radiator connection systems, and plumbing pipe systems for the German plumbing and heating market. Artec had sales of approximately $4,500,000 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1995.

During fiscal year 1996, the Company also acquired two product lines which it incorporated into its existing businesses. The two product lines had combined sales of approximately $4,300,000 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1995.

Products

The Company classifies its valve products into two categories: (1) Plumbing and Heating and Water Quality, and (2) Industrial, and Oil and Gas. The Company serves a wide range of end users through the manufacture of valve products of many designs, sizes and configurations.

PLUMBING AND HEATING AND WATER QUALITY. Water plumbing and heating valves and water supply/drainage products include a broad line of backflow preventers, safety relief valves, regulators, ball valves, control valves, tubular brass products, sink strainers, faucets, drains, compression and flare fittings, plastic tubing and braided metal hose connectors used for water service in residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional applications. The Company has developed automatic temperature and pressure relief valves and pressure-only relief valves used for protection against overtemperature and excessive pressure build-up in water heaters, boilers and other pressure vessels. These products must meet stringent requirements under municipal and state regulatory codes ("code requirements"). See "Code Compliance." The Company has also developed self-contained water-pressure regulators, which reduce and control supply pressure in commercial and residential water systems. These regulators, which conserve water and protect appliances and other equipment from excessive water pressure, are also subject to stringent code requirements. The Company's plumbing and heating valves also include bronze ball valves used in a wide range of applications for controlling the flow of water within pipe lines. The Company also manufactures automatic control valves used in water systems to control flow and deliver water at a constant pressure.

The Company manufactures and sells a large number of specialty water service products including hydronic heating control products, vacuum relief valves, thermostatic mixing valves, strainers, traps, drains, dielectric unions, water hammer shock arrestors, washing machine Duo-Cloz shut-off valves, flow switches, pilot operated regulators, and thermostatic controls. During fiscal 1996, the Company introduced the IntelliFlowTM automatic water supply shutoff valve for clothes washing machines. The IntelliFlow valve is the first of its kind because it eliminates the need for a consumer to open and close the water supply valve to such consumer's washing machine before and after each usage.

The Company also manufactures leak-proof ball, check, packed angle, diaphragm packless and pressure relief valves to contain chlorofluorocarbon and hydroclorofluorocarbon refrigerants in applications which include supermarket refrigeration and food storage, refrigerated transport, chilled water air-conditioning systems and large scale ice production. This product line complements the plumbing and heating product lines and allows the Company to offer a broad, comprehensive flow control package to the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration industry.

The Company also manufactures steam valves that include pilot operated steam temperature and pressure regulators and steam condensate traps. These specialty valves are marketed primarily to institutional and utility customers.

Water quality valves include backflow preventers for preventing contamination of potable water caused by reverse flow within water supply lines. Customers include industrial, residential, institutional, irrigation, fire protection, and other end users having water supply lines.


The patented Watts No. 909 reduced pressure zone backflow preventer line has been recognized within the industry and by certain regulatory bodies as an important technical advance because of its improved ability to prevent the reverse flow of contaminated water during severe conditions of backsiphonage or backpressure in potable water supply systems. The Company's other water quality valves include atmospheric and continuous pressure anti-siphon vacuum breakers, double check valves for residential and commercial service, boiler feed and vending machine backflow preventers and hose connection and wall and yard hydrant vacuum breakers. Most of the Company's water quality valve products are subject to code requirements. See "Code Compliance."

INDUSTRIAL, AND OIL AND GAS. The Company manufactures industrial products that include an extensive line of ball valves and butterfly valves primarily for industrial process applications, as well as pneumatic and electric actuators which open, close and modulate valves. By offering a broad range of ball, seat, seal, stem and handle choices, the Company is able to customize ball valves for particularly demanding service applications. The Company also manufactures relief, check and regulator valves for aerospace, marine, military, cryogenic, and other specialized applications. A line of control valves, instrumentation, regulators, water heaters, solenoid and butterfly valves and whistles for naval, marine, industrial, utility, steam, and process applications is manufactured by the Company.

The Company manufactures oil and gas valves that include high pressure floating and trunnion ball valves having up to 60 inch diameter and Class 2500 pressure ratings, check valves, and needle valves. These specialty valves are marketed primarily to oil field supply distributors. The Company believes that its oil and gas business is affected by cyclical variations in industry conditions to a greater extent than its other business operations.

Acquisitions

An important element of the Company's growth strategy is to make strategic acquisitions of companies and product lines in related business areas. The Company's acquisition strategy has been focused in the valve industry and has involved (i) acquiring additional valve products which can be sold through the Company's own distribution network and which can benefit from the Company's manufacturing expertise and financial support; (ii) entering new markets or extending existing markets for specialized valves; and (iii) seeking to acquire both domestic and foreign companies to penetrate new markets. The Company began implementing its acquisition strategy in fiscal year 1985 and through August 1, 1996 had completed 33 acquisitions of varying sizes, excluding the companies included in the Municipal Water Group. Businesses and product lines acquired from September, 1984 through June 30, 1996 collectively represented more than 66% of the Company's revenues during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. After it makes an acquisition, the Company participates actively with the management of the acquired business in implementing operating strategies with the objective of enhancing the sales, productivity and operating results. The Company intends to focus its acquisition strategy on companies and product lines which have the potential to expand and complement its core Plumbing and Heating and Water Quality, Industrial, and Oil and Gas businesses.

The Company's major acquisitions include (i) Spence Engineering Company, Inc. of Walden, New York, a manufacturer of steam regulators and control valves (acquired in September 1984); (ii) Ocean B.V., a Netherlands-based manufacturer of check valves and related products (acquired in December 1987); (iii) KF Industries, Inc. of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, a manufacturer of high pressure floating and trunnion ball valves and needle valves for the oil and gas industry (acquired in July 1988); (iv) Leslie Controls, Inc. of Tampa, Florida, a manufacturer of control valves, instrumentation, regulators, water heaters and whistles for the naval, marine and industrial steam markets (acquired in July 1989); (v) Nicholson Steam Trap, Inc. of Walden, New York, a manufacturer of condensate traps (acquired in July 1989); (vi) Eagle Valve Company, Inc.

(xiv) Pibiviesse S.p.A. of Nerviano, Italy, a manufacturer of large size and high pressure ball valves for the oil and gas industry (acquired in November 1994); (xv) Anderson-Barrows Metals Corporation of Palmdale, California, a manufacturer of compression and flare fittings, plastic tubing and braided metal hose connectors (acquired in March 1995); and (xvi) SociEtE des Etablissements Rene TRUBERT of Chartres, France, a manufacturer of thermostatic mixing valves for commercial and industrial applications (acquired in August 1995).

Code Compliance

Products representing a majority of the Company's sales are subject to regulatory standards and code enforcement which typically require that these products meet stringent performance criteria. Standards are established by such industry test and certification organizations as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (A.S.M.E.), the American Gas Association (A.G.A.), the American Society of Sanitary Engineers (A.S.S.E.), the University of Southern California (U.S.C.) Foundation for Cross-Connection Control, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (I.A.P.M.O.), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Factory Mutual (F.M.), American Water Works Association (A.W.W.A.), and the American Petroleum Institute (A.P.I.). These standards are incorporated into state and municipal plumbing and heating, building and fire protection codes. Certain of the Company's products also meet the criteria of the Canadian Standards Association (C.S.A.).

The Company also has agency approvals in each of the major European markets in which it participates. These approvals include KIWA in the Netherlands, DVGW in Germany, WRC in the United Kingdom, AFNOR in France, SVGW in Switzerland, UNI in Italy, and ANSEAU in Belgium.

The Company has consistently advocated the development and enforcement of performance and safety standards. The Company maintains quality control and testing procedures at each of its manufacturing facilities in order to produce products in compliance with code requirements. Additionally, a majority of the Company's manufacturing subsidiaries have either acquired or are working to acquire ISO 9000, 9001 or 9002 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Marketing and Distribution

The Company relies primarily on commissioned representative organizations to market its product lines. These organizations, which accounted for approximately 70% of the Company's net sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, sell primarily to plumbing and heating wholesalers, DIY Market accounts, and steam, industrial, oil and gas distributors for resale to end users in the United States and abroad. The Company sells metal and plastic water supply/drainage products including valves, tubular brass products, faucets, drains, sink strainers, compression and flare fittings, plastic tubing and braided metal hose connectors for the residential construction and home repair and remodeling markets through do-it-yourself plumbing retailers, national catalog distribution companies, hardware stores, building material outlets and retail home center chains ("DIY Markets") and through the Company's existing plumbing and heating wholesalers. The Company also sells products directly to certain large original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) and private label accounts. OEM's and private label accounts represented approximately 10% of the Company's total net sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

The Company also maintains direct sales channels for water valves, steam valves, relief valves, shut-off valves, check valves, butterfly valves, ball valves and flow meters to the power generation, maritime, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning industries and utilities.


Plumbing and Heating and Water Quality

WATER SERVICE VALVES AND PRODUCTS. The Company's water service distribution network for the United States, which distributes water plumbing and heating, water safety and flow control and water quality valves, consists of over 95 commissioned representative organizations which sell to over 6,000 plumbing and heating wholesalers. The Company maintains consigned inventories of water service products at many representatives' locations, and each representative carries the entire line of the Company's water service products. Sales of the Company's products generally account for more than one-half of its commissioned representative organizations' total commission income.

Jameco Industries, Inc. ("Jameco") acquired by the Company in July 1994, manufactures metal and plastic water supply products including stop valves, sink strainers, drains, and tubular brass products and imports for resale, vitreous china and faucets. Anderson-Barrows Metals Corporation ("Anderson-Barrows"), acquired by the Company in March 1995, manufactures compression and flare fittings, plastic tubing and braided metal hose connectors. Both companies target the residential construction and home repair and remodeling markets. Both of these companies' products are distributed through the Company's existing plumbing and heating wholesaler distribution network and through the DIY Markets. The Company believes that sales of Jameco's and Anderson-Barrows' products to the residential construction and home repair and remodeling markets may be subject to cyclical variations in the housing industry to a greater extent than its other business operations.

The Company distributes water service valves in Canada and Europe through both direct sales personnel and commissioned representative organizations. The Company relies predominantly on exclusive distributorship arrangements to distribute its water products in foreign countries other than Canada and countries in Europe. During fiscal 1996, the Company expanded its distribution for all of its product lines by establishing a Representative Office in Beijing, China. The Representative Office will market the Company's products throughout China. The Company also markets butterfly valves and other valve products in China, Southeast Asia, Australia and Europe through its Tanggu Watts joint venture which is located in China.

STEAM VALVES. The Company markets its plumbing and heating steam valves under the SpenceR trademark through commissioned representative organizations, whose personnel are trained in the sale and technical support of sophisticated steam products.

Industrial, and Oil and Gas

Industrial Valves. The Company's industrial sales organization markets its products domestically through approximately 40 commissioned representative organizations who sell to over 300 industrial distributors and markets its products internationally through commissioned agents. Industrial distributors carry their own inventories and provide local sales and inventory support services to their customers.

Oil and Gas Valves. The Company markets its oil and gas valves domestically under the KFR trademark through approximately 30 commissioned representative organizations and through stocking supply distributors and internationally through commissioned representative organizations. PBVS located in Italy and Suzhou Watts located in China market oil and gas valves in Europe, the Middle East and Asia through direct sales and commissioned sales representatives.

Steam Valves. The Company markets its industrial steam valves, which include control valves, instrumentation, regulators, waterheaters, solenoid and butterfly valves, and whistles for naval, marine, industrial, utility, and steam and process applications, under the LeslieR trademark through commissioned representative organizations worldwide.

A majority of the Company's agreements with its commissioned representative organizations provide for non-exclusive territories, the payment of percentage commissions and termination by either party on 30 days' notice. No customer, commissioned representative organization, wholesaler or distributor in any of the Company's market areas accounted for as much as 10% of the Company's total net sales in fiscal 1996. The


Company maintains an internal staff of sales personnel organized by product line to support the efforts of its commissioned representative organizations. The Company also conducts technical and product application seminars for its customers directly and in cooperation with its commissioned representative organizations.

The Company estimates that a substantial portion of its sales are attributable to the normal replacement and repair of valves and systems employing valves.

The Company's foreign sales, including exports, in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994 were 32%, 30%, and 30%, respectively. The Company's foreign sales other than Canadian sales consist predominantly of sales of plumbing and heating valves, and water quality valves in Western Europe and sales of butterfly valves for industrial markets in Europe and China and sales of ball valves for the oil and gas and industrial markets in Europe, the Middle East, South America and Asia. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference herein for certain information regarding the Company's foreign operations.

Production

The Company has a fully integrated and highly automated manufacturing capability. The Company's machining operations feature over 350 computer-controlled machine tools, high-speed chucking machines and automatic screw machines. The Company's foundry operations include metal pouring systems and automatic core making, mold making and pouring capabilities, and injection molding equipment. See "Properties" below.

The Company has invested heavily in recent years to expand its manufacturing base and to ensure the availability of the most efficient and productive equipment. Capital expenditures were $31,080,000, $27,980,000, and $18,548,000, for fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Depreciation and amortization for such periods were $21,574,000, $20,345,000, and $18,309,000, respectively.

Five significant raw materials used in the Company's production processes are bronze ingot, brass rod, cast iron, carbon steel and stainless steel. While the Company historically has not experienced significant difficulties in obtaining these commodities in quantities sufficient for its operations, there have been significant changes in their prices. The Company's gross profit margins are adversely affected to the extent that the selling prices of its products do not increase proportionately with increases in the costs of bronze ingot, brass rod, cast iron, carbon steel and stainless steel. Any significant unanticipated increase or decrease in the prices of these commodities could materially affect the Company's results of operations. As the sales volume and the diversity of materials used in the Company's production processes have grown, however, the impact from changes in the cost of these five raw materials has somewhat diminished. However, in fiscal 1996 the Company's gross profit margins were adversely affected by increased raw material costs primarily in bronze ingot, carbon steel and stainless steel. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding the impact of raw material costs on operations. At the end of fiscal 1996, the costs for these raw materials had declined from the average costs experienced during fiscal 1996. In an effort to reduce the effects of such fluctuations, the Company maintains an active materials management program, although no assurances can be given that this will protect the Company from changes in the prices for such raw materials.

Product Engineering

The Company believes that new product development and product engineering are important to success in the valve industry and that the Company's position in the industry is attributable in significant part to its ability to develop new products and to adapt and enhance existing products. The Company employs over 90 engineers and technicians, which does not include engineers working in the Chinese joint ventures, who engage primarily in these activities.

Competition

The domestic and international markets for valves are intensely competitive and include companies possessing greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company. Management considers


product reputation, price, effectiveness of distribution and breadth of product line to be the primary competitive factors.

Backlog

The Company does not believe that its backlog at any point in time is indicative of future operating results. Backlog was $95,926,000 at June 30, 1996 and $63,081,000 at June 30, 1995.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company owns certain patents and trademarks that it considers to be of importance, including the U.S. patent for its No. 909 backflow preventer, which expires on December 30, 1997. The Company has also secured patents for a backflow prevention device in several foreign countries, including Canada, Germany, France, Italy and Japan.

With respect to its trademarks, the Company has adopted, and in some cases registered, various trademarks in the United States and certain foreign countries. The principal trademarks of the Company include WATTSR, WATTS REGULATOR & DesignR, SPENCER, HALER, LESLIER, OCEANTM, KFR, TARASTM, CONTROMATICSTM, NICHOLSONTM, FLIPPENTM, CIRCLE SEALR and Seal DesignR, JAMECO and DesignTM, and ANDERSON-BARROWSTM. The U.S. registrations of these trademarks have either a ten or twenty year term, depending upon whether or not the registration was issued prior to the effective date of the 1988 amendments to the Trademark Act of 1946, and are renewable if still used in commerce for additional ten year terms.

The Company does not believe that its business as a whole is dependent on any one or more patents or trademarks or on patent or trademark protection generally.

Employees

At June 30, 1996, excluding 930 employees of the Chinese joint ventures, the Company had approximately 3,840 employees, of whom nearly 3,200 were engaged in production and the balance in management, sales, engineering and administration. There are approximately 269 employees that are covered by collective bargaining agreements in the United States and approximately 618 employees that belong to unions in Europe. The Company believes that its employee relations are excellent.

The Company, like other worldwide manufacturing companies, is subject to a variety of potential liabilities connected with its business operations, including potential liabilities and expenses associated with possible product defects or failures and compliance with environmental laws. The Company maintains product liability and other insurance coverage which it believes to be generally in accordance with industry practices. Nonetheless, such insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect the Company fully against substantial damage claims which may arise from product defects and failures.

Leslie Controls, Inc. and Spence Engineering Company, both subsidiaries of the Company, are involved as third-party defendants in various civil product liability actions pending in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio. The underlying claims have been filed by present or former employees of various shipping companies for personal injuries allegedly received as a result of exposure to asbestos. The shipping


companies contend that they installed in their vessels certain valves manufactured by Leslie Controls and/or Spence Engineering which contained asbestos. The Company has resort to certain insurance coverage with respect to these matters. Coverage has been disputed by certain of the carriers and, therefore, recovery is questionable, a factor which the Company has considered in its evaluation of these matters. The Company has established certain reserves which it currently believes are adequate in light of the probable and estimable exposure of pending and threatened litigation of which it has knowledge. Based on facts presently known to it, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or its liquidity.

Certain of the Company's operations generate solid and hazardous wastes, which are disposed of elsewhere by arrangement with the owners or operators of disposal sites or with transporters of such waste. The Company's foundry and other operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires the Company to incur expenses and monitor its operations on an on-going basis. The Company cannot predict the effect of future requirements on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position due to any changes in either federal, state or local environmental laws, regulations or ordinances.

The Company is currently a party to or otherwise involved with various administrative or legal proceedings under federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations involving a number of sites, in some cases as a participant in a group of potentially responsible parties. Three of these sites, the Sharkey and Combe Landfills in New Jersey and the San Gabriel Valley/El Monte, California water basin site are listed on the National Priorities List. With respect to the Sharkey Landfill, the Company has been allocated .75% of the remediation costs, an amount which is not material to the Company. Based on certain developments, the Company elected not to enter into the de minimis settlement proposal with respect to the Sharkey Landfill and has instead decided to participate in the remediation as a participating party. No allocations have been made to date with respect to the Combe Landfill or San Gabriel Valley sites. The EPA has formally notified several entities that they have been identified as being potentially responsible parties with respect to the San Gabriel Valley site. As the Company was not included in this group, its potential involvement in this matter is uncertain at this point given that either the PRP's named to date or the EPA could seek to expand the list of potentially responsible parties. In addition to the foregoing, the Solvent Recovery Service of New England site and the Old Southington landfill site, both in Connecticut, are on the National Priorities List but, with respect thereto, the Company has resort to indemnification from third parties and based on currently available information, the Company believes it will be entitled to participate in a de minimis capacity.

With respect to the Combe Landfill, the Company is one of approximately 30 potentially responsible parties. The Company and all other PRP's received a Supplemental Directive from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection & Energy in 1994 seeking to recover approximately $9 million in the aggregate for the operation, maintenance, and monitoring of the implemented remedial action taken up to that time in connection with the Combe Landfill North site. Certain of the PRP's, including the Company, are currently negotiating with the state only to assume maintenance of this site in an effort to reduce future costs. The Company and the remaining PRP's have also received a formal demand from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to recover approximately $17 million expended to date in the remediation of this site.

Given the number of parties involved in most environmental sites, the multiplicity of possible solutions, the evolving technology and the years of remedial activity required, it is difficult to estimate with certainty the total cost of remediation, the timing and extent of remedial actions which may be required, and the amount of liability, if any, of the Company alone and in relation to other responsible parties. Based on facts presently known to it, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or its liquidity.

The Company has established balance sheet accruals which it currently believes are adequate in light of the probable and estimable exposure of pending and threatened environmental litigation and proceedings of which it has knowledge. In this regard, with respect to certain of these matters, the Company has resort either to some degree of insurance coverage or indemnifications from third parties which are expected to defray to some extent the effect thereof. With respect to insurance, coverage of some of these claims has been disputed by the carriers based on standard reservations and, therefore, recovery is questionable, a factor which has been considered in the Company's evaluation of these matters. Although difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues and the limitation on available information, the Company believes that its accruals for the estimated costs associated with such matters adequately provide for the Company's estimated foreseeable liability for these sites, however, given the nature and scope of the Company's manufacturing operations, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become subject to other environmental proceedings and liabilities in the future which may be material to the Company.


Item 2. PROPERTIES.

The Company's manufacturing operations include four casting foundries, two of which are located in the United States, one in Europe and one in the Tanggu Watts joint venture located in the People's Republic of China. Castings from these foundries and other components are machined and assembled into finished valves at 24 manufacturing facilities located in the United States, Canada, Europe and the People's Republic of China. These fully operational and equipped foundries and machine and assembly shops and warehouses occupy the majority of space in approximately 2,800,000 square feet of building space. Many of these facilities contain sales offices or warehouses from which the Company ships finished goods to customers and commissioned representative organizations. The Company's corporate and administrative headquarters are located in North Andover, Massachusetts and occupy approximately 60,000 square feet of building space. The total number of the Company's facilities by geographic location is as follows: 18 in the United States, 13 in Europe, 3 in Canada, and 3 in Asia, of which 2 are through its 60% controlling interest in two Chinese joint ventures.

The vast majority of the Company's operating facilities and the related real estate are owned by the Company. The notable exceptions are that the buildings and land located in Tianjin, People's Republic of China, and Nerviano, Italy are leased by Tanggu Watts and PBVS, respectively, under lease agreements. The Tanggu Watts property is under a 30-year lease agreement and the PBVS property is under a six-year lease agreement. Certain of the Company's facilities are subject to mortgages and collateral assignments under loan agreements with long-term lenders. In general, the Company believes that its properties, including machinery, tools and equipment, are in good condition, well maintained and adequate and suitable for their intended uses. The Company believes that the manufacturing facilities are currently operating at a level that management considers normal capacity. This utilization is subject to change as a result of increases or decreases in sales.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Management Initiatives

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company decided to restructure its business in an effort to improve the efficiency of the Company's worldwide operations.

Divestiture

As previously announced, the Company decided to divest itself of the Municipal Water Group of companies, which consist of Henry Pratt Company, James Jones Company, and Edward Barber & Co. Ltd. This divestiture will enable the Company to focus its acquisition and growth strategies on its core markets, namely Plumbing and Heating, Water Quality, Industrial, and Oil and Gas.

The results of operations of the Municipal Water Group for fiscal 1996 have been reported as income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, and the statements of operations for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1996 presentation.

The Company signed a definitive agreement for the sale of the Municipal Water Group on June 19, 1996 with Tyco International Ltd. The transaction is expected to be completed during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 subject to regulatory approvals.

The Company anticipates a small gain upon the divestiture of the Municipal Water Group.

Restructuring Activities

The Company also decided to undertake restructuring initiatives aimed at improving the efficiency of certain of its continuing operations. The two most significant initiatives are the relocation of Jameco Industries, Inc. ("Jameco") and the downsizing of Pibiviesse S.p.A. ("PBVS").

The Company decided to relocate the manufacturing operations at Jameco from Wyandanch, New York to a Watts Regulator plant in Spindale, North Carolina. The Company expects this relocation project will be completed in fiscal 1997. The Company also decided to implement a plan to streamline and downsize the operations of its PBVS subsidiary. In addition, the Company has identified efficiencies that it expects will improve operations at a number of its other divisions.

In connection with implementing these reorganization plans, the Company has recorded plant closure costs of $7,700,000, severance costs for 290 employees of $9,300,000, asset write-downs for assets to be abandoned or sold of $8,400,000, inventory write-downs of $9,500,000, and accrued other expenses of $13,800,000. Substantially all the charges for this restructuring have been recorded.

The provisions for severance, plant closure costs and the asset write-downs are included in the restructuring line in the statement of operations. The inventory write-down is included in cost of sales and the accrued expenses are included in operating expenses.

As of June 30, 1996, 97 employees have been released and $1,660,000 has been paid in severance.

Impairment

The Company has identified impairment events affecting certain long-lived assets primarily with its Italian subsidiaries, PBVS and Intermes, and has concluded these assets were impaired. Due to significant losses at PBVS, the future undiscounted cash flows were insufficient to recover the fair market value of the long-lived assets, primarily goodwill. Due to a change in interpretation of the Italian tax law regarding the deductibility of goodwill amortization coupled with decreasing margins and operating profits has resulted in the goodwill at Intermes being impaired. Accordingly, management prepared cash flow estimates indicating an impairment had in fact occurred and wrote down the goodwill to its fair value, as determined using a


discounted cash flow approach. The Company has taken a charge of $63,065,000 to write down the affected assets to fair value in accordance with the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". Depreciation and goodwill amortization will decrease approximately $1,400,000 annually.

Conclusion

The after-tax charge for all these initiatives recorded in fiscal 1996 was $92,986,000. The after-tax cash impact of the charge is expected to be approximately $10,000,000.

It is expected that the restructuring plan will require more than two years to complete with some positive effects being realized during fiscal 1997.

Results of Operations
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1995

Net sales from continuing operations increased $64,025,000 (11.1%) to $640,876,000. This increase was attributable to the inclusion of the net sales of acquired companies. These acquisitions primarily included Anderson-Barrows, Trubert, and PBVS. Exclusive of acquisitions, net sales from continuing operations would have increased $19,601,000 (3.4%). This increase is primarily attributable to increased unit shipments of plumbing and heating and water quality valves in the United States and Europe. During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, net sales, exclusive of acquisitions, increased 10.6% over the comparable quarter last year. This increase is due to increased unit shipments of plumbing and heating valves and oil and gas valves. The Company intends to maintain its strategy of seeking acquisition opportunities as well as expanding its existing market position to achieve sales growth.

Gross profit from continuing operations increased $1,486,000 (0.7%) to $212,198,000 but decreased as a percentage of sales from 36.5% to 33.1%. This decreased percentage was primarily attributable to the inclusion of $9,500,000 in costs related primarily to inventory write-downs as part of the restructuring plan discussed above. Gross profit from continuing operations exclusive of these charges would have been $221,698,000 or 34.6% of net sales. This decreased percentage was primarily attributable to lower gross margins experienced within the Industrial and Oil and Gas group as a result of competitive pricing and unfavorable manufacturing variances. In addition, unfavorable manufacturing variances associated with reduced production levels caused by lower sales volume experienced within the steam group adversely impacted the Company's gross margin. The inclusion of certain acquired companies which operate at a lower gross margin than the rest of the Company also adversely impacted the gross margin. Gross profit was also adversely affected by increased raw material costs of bronze ingot, carbon and stainless steel, which, due to competitive pricing pressures, could not be completely recovered through price increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased $29,350,000 (22%) to $162,951,000. This increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of $13,800,000 in costs related to the restructuring plan discussed above and the expenses of acquired companies.

Interest income from continuing operations decreased $1,228,000 (63.6%) to $702,000 due to decreased levels of cash and short-term investments.

Interest expense from continuing operations increased $592,000 (6.3%) to $9,960,000. This increase is primarily attributable to the increased levels of debt incurred in association with the acquisitions.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations, exclusive of the restructuring charges, decreased to 37.1% in fiscal 1996 from 37.7% in fiscal 1995.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations decreased $96,228,000 (226.6%) to ($53,765,000). Net income from continuing operations exclusive of the restructuring and impairment charge would have decreased $3,242,000 (7.6%) to $39,221,000.


The change in foreign exchange rates did not have a material impact on the net results of operations or the financial condition of the Company.

Results of Operations
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1994

Net sales from continuing operations increased $132,367,000 (29.8%) to $576,851,000. This increase was attributable to the inclusion of the net sales of acquired companies, the establishment of the Company's Chinese joint venture, and increased unit shipments of certain product lines. The net sales of Jameco Industries, Inc. ("Jameco") acquired in July 1994, located in New York, Pibiviesse S.p.A. ("PBVS") acquired in November 1994, located in Italy, Anderson-Barrows Metals Corporation ("Anderson-Barrows") acquired in March 1995, located in California, and the establishment of the Tianjin Tanggu Watts Valve Co., Ltd. ("TWT") joint venture in August 1994, located in Tianjin, Peoples Republic of China, represented approximately $98,054,000 of the increase in net sales. The Company had increased unit shipments of plumbing and heating valves, industrial valves and steam valves. The Company had increased net sales in Europe of $10,400,000 of which 77% of the increase was due to the strength of the foreign currencies versus the U.S. Dollar. International sales were $175,000,000 and represented 30% of total net sales. The Company intends to maintain its strategy of seeking acquisition opportunities as well as expanding its existing market position to achieve sales growth.

Gross profit from continuing operations increased $31,532,000 (17.6%) to $210,712,000 and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 40.3% to 36.5%. This decreased percentage was primarily attributable to the inclusion of acquired companies, which currently operate at lower gross margins than the rest of the Company. The gross profit percentage was also adversely affected by increased raw materials costs primarily in bronze ingot and brass rod.

Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased $25,220,000 (23.3%) to $133,601,000 and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 24.4% to 23.2%. This increase in expense was primarily attributable to the inclusion of the expenses of acquired companies discussed above, increased international selling expenses, and commissions associated with the increased sales volumes.

Interest income from continuing operations decreased $1,017,000 (34.5%) to $1,930,000 due to decreased levels of cash and short-term investments.

Interest expense from continuing operations increased $1,904,000 (25.5%) to $9,368,000. This increase was attributable to the increased levels of debt incurred in association with the acquisitions discussed above.

The effective tax rate of the Company from continuing operations was 37.7% for the year ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 39.2% for the year ended June 30, 1994. This decreased percentage was primarily attributable to lower effective tax rates experienced in Germany and Holland due to tax planning strategies executed during the year as a result of prior European acquisitions. There is no guarantee that this lower effective tax rate will continue in the future. Also, the Company's earnings in China are currently exempt from taxation in China for a period of two years.

Net income from continuing operations increased $3,063,000 (7.8%) to $42,463,000. Net income from discontinued operations increased $1,665,000 (103.4%) to $3,275,000. This increase is primarily attributable to increased sales volume and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

The change in foreign exchange rates since June 30, 1994 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial condition of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The recording of the Company's restructuring charge, noted above, had an adverse impact on the Company's retained earnings and working capital. The restructuring charge, however, did not impact the


Company's ability to borrow funds in the future under its existing credit facilities. The net cash impact to the Company to implement the restructuring charge is expected to be approximately $10,000,000.

During the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company invested in four acquisitions and one joint venture. In August of 1995, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased Societe des Etablissements Rene Trubert S.A. ("Trubert") of Chartres, France. Trubert is a manufacturer of thermostatic mixing valves sold primarily for commercial and industrial applications to accurately control the temperature of water for human safety and process control. Trubert had net sales of approximately $8,000,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995. In August 1995, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired the Keane product line from Keane Controls Corporation. This product line consists of solenoid valves and regulators used in high pressure applications. The annual sales of these products are approximately $1,500,000. In September 1995, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired the Kieley Mueller Control Valve product line from International Valve Corporation. This product line consists of linear and rotary control valves sold primarily for industrial process applications to accurately control the pressure, flow, and temperature of steam and process fluids. The annual sales of these products are approximately $2,800,000. In March 1996, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased Artec, GmbH ("Artec") of Oberhausen, Germany. Artec assembles and distributes underfloor heating systems, radiator connection systems and plumbing pipe systems for the German plumbing and heating market. Artec had net sales of approximately $4,500,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995. The net purchase price for acquisitions in fiscal 1996 was $13,415,000. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company invested a total of $6,000,000 in the Suzhou Watts Valve Co., Ltd. joint venture located in Suzhou, People's Republic of China. This joint venture was established to manufacture ball valves for the industrial and oil and gas markets. The Company's investment represents a 60% interest in the joint venture.

During the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company spent $31,080,000 on capital expenditures for continuing operations, primarily manufacturing machinery and equipment, as part of its commitment to continuously improve its manufacturing capabilities.

On April 16, 1996 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock through open market and private purchases. At June 30, 1996 the Company had purchased 1,458,900 shares for an aggregate price of $28,567,000. In July 1996 the remaining authorized shares were purchased. The total purchase price of the 2,000,000 shares was $38,559,674. The funds to finance these stock repurchases were generated from operations and borrowings from the unsecured line of credit. On July 17, 1996 the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares over the next twelve months.

In order to support the Company's acquisition program, working capital requirements, and for general corporate purposes, the Company has a five-year commitment for an unsecured line of credit for $125,000,000 expiring on August 31, 1999. As of June 30, 1996, there was $61,300,000 outstanding under this credit facility. Total borrowings under the line of credit on August 13, 1996 were $71,300,000. The increase since June 30, 1996 is primarily attributable to the completion of the share repurchase program. The Company plans to repay the outstanding balance after the sale of the Municipal Water Group is completed.

Working capital from continuing operations at June 30, 1996 was $196,468,000 compared to $210,610,000 at June 30, 1995. Cash and short-term investments were $0 at June 30, 1996 compared to $7,826,000 at June 30, 1995. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities from continuing operations was 2.5 to 1 at June 30, 1996 compared to 3.0 to 1 at June 30, 1995. Debt as a percentage of total capital employed was 33.8% at June 30, 1996 compared to 26.2% at June 30, 1995. The decrease in working capital and changes in the current and debt ratios are primarily the result of the recording of the restructuring charge, the share repurchase program and the increased level of borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

The Company from time to time is involved with environmental proceedings and incurs costs on an on-going basis related to environmental matters. The Company has been or expects to be named a potentially responsible party with respect to currently identified contaminated sites, which are in various stages of the remediation process. The Company has evaluated its potential exposure based on all currently


available information and has recorded its estimate of its liability for environmental matters. The Company currently anticipates that it will not incur significant expenditures in fiscal 1997 in connection with any of these environmentally contaminated sites.

The Company anticipates that available funds and funds provided from current operations will be sufficient to meet current operating requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 24 months.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Watts Industries, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Watts Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Watts Industries Europe B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets of $136,500,000 and $165,700,000 as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and net sales of $118,700,000 in fiscal year 1996, $93,500,000 in fiscal year 1995 and $67,000,000 in fiscal year 1994. Those statements and schedule were audited by other auditors, Deloitte & Touche, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for Watts Industries Europe B.V., is based solely on their reports.

We conducted our audits 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 audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Watts Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ."

Watts Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company designs, manufactures and sells an extensive line of valves for the water plumbing and heating, water quality, industrial, and oil and gas markets located predominately in North America, Europe, and Asia.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Watts Industries, Inc. and its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company). Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Foreign Currency Translation
Balance sheet accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at fiscal year-end exchange rates. Operating accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates for each year. Net translation gains or losses are adjusted directly to a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments Cash equivalents consist of investments having maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Short-term investments consist of corporate and municipal bonds and participation in mutual funds whose portfolios consist principally of United States Government securities. Short-term investments are valued at market, which approximates cost.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers included in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic areas. At June 30, 1996, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Inventories
Inventories are stated principally at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. This balance is amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that it may be impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted operating cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill would be reduced to its fair value.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Company adopted Statement No. 121 in the third quarter of fiscal year 1996 and has recorded a $63,065,000 charge to income.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to key employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (and intends to continue to do so) and, accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants.

Earnings Per Common Share
Earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of Class A and B Common Shares outstanding during each period and common stock equivalents attributable to the dilutive effect of Class A Common Stock options.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICES (CONTINUED)

Basis of Presentation
Certain amounts in fiscal years 1995 and 1994 have been reclassified to permit comparison with the 1996 presentation.

3. MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company decided to restructure its business to improve the efficiency of the Company's worldwide operations. The nature of these changes and related effects are summarized below:

Discontinued Operations
The Company announced its intention to divest of the stock of its Municipal Water Group of businesses, which includes Henry Pratt Company, James Jones Company and Edward Barber & Co. In the fourth quarter, the Company executed a definitive purchase and sale agreement covering this divestiture and the sale is expected to occur in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997.

The results of operations of these companies have been reported as income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, and the income statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. Unassigned corporate interest expense has been allocated based upon the ratio of the net assets of the discontinued operations to the consolidated net assets and unassigned debt of the Company.

The following table summarizes the results of operations of the Municipal Water Group:

3. MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES (CONTINUED)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The impairment of long-lived assets charge mainly pertains to the Company's Italian subsidiaries. Due to a change in interpretation of the Italian tax law regarding the deductibility of goodwill amortization coupled with decreasing margins and operating profits has resulted in the goodwill at Intermes being impaired. In addition, PBVS has experienced significant losses since acquisition. In response to these circumstances, management has implemented various restructuring initiatives, consisting mainly of downsizing, relocating and consolidating its Italian operations. In connection with the reevaluation of its business strategy in Italy, management has concluded an impairment event has occurred and has recorded a loss by adjusting the value of the affected long-lived assets, primarily goodwill.

Restructuring
The Company also decided to undertake certain restructuring initiatives aimed at improving the efficiency of certain of its continuing operations. The two most significant initiatives are the relocation of Jameco Industries, Inc. ("Jameco") and the downsizing of Pibiviesse S.p.A. ("PBVS").

The Company decided to relocate the manufacturing operations at Jameco from Wyandanch, New York to a Watts Regulator plant in Spindale, North Carolina. The Company expects this relocation project will be completed in fiscal 1997. The Company also decided to implement a plan to streamline and downsize the operations of its PBVS subsidiary. In addition, the Company has identified efficiencies that it expects will improve operations at a number of its other divisions.

In connection with implementing these reorganization plans, the Company has recorded exit costs of $7,700,000, severance costs for 290 employees of $9,300,000, asset write-downs for assets to be abandoned or sold of $8,400,000, inventory write-downs of $9,500,000, and accrued other expenses of $13,800,000. Substantially all the charges for this restructuring have been recorded.

The provision for severance, plant closure costs, and the asset write-downs are included in the restructuring line in the statement of operations. The inventory write-down is included in cost of sales and the accrued expenses are included in operating expenses.

The severance paid as of June 30, 1996 was $1,660,000, representing a reduction of 97 personnel.

4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

During fiscal year 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of four businesses, all of which are valve manufacturers, for an aggregate purchase price of $13,415,000, and invested $6,000,000 in the Suzhou Watts Valve Company, Ltd. joint venture. The most significant of these acquisitions was the purchase of Societe des Etablissements Rene Trubert S.A. located in Chartres, France. These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method. The results of operations of the acquired businesses were included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Had these acquisitions occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 1996 or 1995, the effect on operating results would not have been material.

5. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

At June 30, 1996, the Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $10.7 million for income tax purposes that expire in fiscal years 1997 through 2004. In addition, foreign net operating losses of $4.5 million can be carried forward indefinitely. Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $37 million, $43 million and $36 million at June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company will be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.

Determination of the amount of U.S. income tax liability that would be incurred is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits would be available to reduce some portion of any U.S. income tax liability. Withholding taxes of approximately $2.6 million would be payable upon remittance of all previously unremitted earnings at June 30, 1996.

The Company made income tax payments of $27.8 million, $25.2 million and $31.4 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

6. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES

Accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of the following:

Certain of the Company's loan agreements contain covenants that require, among other items, the maintenance of certain minimum financial ratios and limit the Company's ability to enter into secured borrowing arrangements for amounts exceeding 10% of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity, unless the 8 3/8% Notes are secured ratably with such borrowings. Under its most restrictive loan covenant, the Company had $24.6 million available at June 30, 1996, for the payment of dividends.

8. COMMON STOCK

During fiscal year 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in the open market which was completed on July 17, 1996. The Company utilized its line of credit in making these purchases. On July 17, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in the open market.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

8. COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)

The Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have equal dividend and liquidation rights. Each share of the Company's Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to stockholders and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes on all such matters. Shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one-to-one basis, at the option of the holder. The Company has reserved a total of 3,391,630 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance under its option plans and 11,365,627 shares for conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock.

9. STOCK OPTION AND PURCHASE PLANS

On August 6, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the 1996 Stock Option Plan ("1996 Plan") to replace the 1986 Incentive Stock Option Plan, which expired during 1996, and the 1989 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan ("1989 Plan") upon the earlier of its expiration, in 1999, or when the shares reserved for issuance under such Plan are exhausted. The terms and conditions of the 1996 Plan are substantially consistent with those of the 1986 and 1989 Plans and allow for the granting of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 share of the Company's Class A Common Stock.

The Company's 1986 Plan allowed for the granting of options to purchase 1,980,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to key employees at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. In addition, the Company's 1989 Stock Option Plan allowed for the granting of options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to key employees. Options are granted at an exercise price determined by the Board of Directors, but not less than 50% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Outstanding options generally vest at the rate of 20% per year.

A summary of activity in the plans is as follows:

In October 1995, the Company adopted the Watts Industries Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan which allows for the granting of restricted stock units to key employees to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at 75% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Restricted stock units generally vest annually over a three year period from the date of grant. There were no restricted stock units outstanding at June 30, 1996.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors a 401(K) Savings Plan for substantially all domestic non-union employees. Under the plan, the Company matches a specified percentage of employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the Company sponsors defined benefit plans covering substantially all of its domestic non-union employees. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, the fair value of assets held in trust for the Company's defined benefit plans approximated the related projected benefit obligation.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is engaged in various claims and litigation arising from its operations. In the opinion of management, uninsured losses, if any, resulting from these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position or future results of operations of the Company.

The Company has been named a potentially responsible party with respect to identified contaminated sites. The level of contamination varies significantly from site to site and remediation efforts that are underway are in various stages. In certain cases, remediation has not begun. The Company has evaluated its potential exposure based on all currently available information and has recorded an estimate of its liability for environmental matters.

2. Compensation and Benefits.

2.1 Compensation. The Company shall pay to Mr. Horne, as compensation for services rendered to the Company, a base salary of Six Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($660,000) (U.S.) per year (such salary, as from time to time increased as hereinafter provided, being referred to hereinafter as the "Base Salary") so long as he is employed by the Company; provided, however, that such Base Salary shall be automatically subject to a percentage increase on each anniversary date of the Effective Date of this Agreement, based on the amount applicable with respect to the year then ended, with such percentage increase determined with reference to the aggregate percentage increase for the preceding twelve months of the Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers as published by the United States Department of Labor; and provided further, however, that the Board of Directors may from time to time increase such Base Salary or pay such additional bonuses or other compensation to Mr. Horne as it may in its sole discretion deem appropriate. The Base Salary shall be payable in equal installments at such periodic intervals, not less than monthly, as from time to time are applicable with respect to salaried executive personnel of the Company, and such Base Salary shall be inclusive of all applicable income, social security and other taxes and charges required by law to be withheld by the Company or requested to be withheld by Mr. Horne.

3.2 Termination by Mr. Horne.

3.2.1 If, as a result of any action by the Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the Company and without the consent of Mr. Horne, Mr. Horne shall cease to be, or cease to have the responsibilities and duties of, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company without his employment having been terminated pursuant to Section 3.1 above, or if Mr. Horne shall be assigned duties which are inconsistent with those previously performed by him hereunder, Mr. Horne shall have the right to terminate his employment with the Company at any time during the Term of this Agreement (including any renewal year as contemplated by Section 1.7) upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Board of Directors. If and when Mr. Horne terminates his employment pursuant to this Section 3.2.1, the Company shall pay to Mr. Horne a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the compensation which would have been payable hereunder from the date of termination through the third anniversary hereof had this Agreement been in effect though such date at the rate in effect as of the date of termination or (ii) two years' compensation hereunder at such rate.


3.2.2 Mr. Horne shall also have the right to terminate his employment with the Company at any time during the Term of this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Company.

(i) any salary accrued to the date of termination and (ii) any additional compensation or benefits to which Mr. Horne or his beneficiary may be entitled. For purposes of this Section 4, the term "beneficiary" shall mean such person or persons as Mr. Horne may from time to time designate in writing to the Company or, in the absence of any such effective designation, the executor or administrator of his estate.

Horne, an individual residing in Andover, Massachusetts ("Mr. Horne").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Mr. Horne has been in the employ of the Company and is now serving the Company as its Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer;

WHEREAS, because of Mr. Horne's experience, knowledge of the affairs of the Company, and reputation and contacts in the industry, the Company deems Mr. Horne's continued employment with the Company important for its future growth; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Mr. Horne to continue in the employ of the Company pursuant to the terms of an Employment Agreement of even date (the "Employment Agreement"), the Company desires to provide Mr. Horne certain compensation rights to commence following termination of his status as a full time employee of the Company and its subsidiaries.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Supplemental Compensation. Commencing on the date on which Mr. Horne shall have ceased to be a full time employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof (the "Termination Date"), regardless of the reason of such termination (other than a termination of Mr. Horne's employment by reason of death), and continuing until the date of Mr. Horne's death, Mr. Horne shall receive Supplemental Compensation equal on an annual basis to the greater of (a) one-half of the average of Mr. Horne's annual base salary as an employee of the Company during the three years immediately prior to the Termination Date or (b) $400,000; provided, however, that the amount applicable under this clause (b) shall be automatically subject to a percentage increase as of each anniversary of the date hereof, based on the amount applicable under this clause (b) with respect to the year then ended, with such percentage increase determined with reference to the aggregate percentage increase for the preceding twelve months of the Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers as published by the United States Department of Labor. Such Supplemental Compensation shall be paid in equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month, with the first such payment due on the first day of the month following the Termination Date. In the event of Mr. Horne's death, the Company shall make a Supplemental Compensation payment as provided above to Mr. Horne's estate on the first day of the month following the date of Mr. Horne's death, thereby terminating this Agreement and its obligation to make further payments hereunder.


2. Services of Mr. Horne. Following termination of Mr. Horne's status as an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries (whether full or part time), Mr. Horne hereby agrees to make himself available to serve the Company and its subsidiaries so long as he is physically able to do so, upon request of the Board of Directors, as a consultant and as Chairman of the Board of Directors for a minimum of 300 hours per year commencing on the Termination Date; provided, however, that in no event shall Mr. Horne be required to devote more than 500 hours per year to the performance of services hereunder; and provided further, however, that Mr. Horne's physical inability to perform services hereunder shall not affect or limit the Company's obligation under
Section 1.

3. Funding. Nothing contained herein and no action taken pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, a fiduciary relationship between the Company and Mr. Horne or any other person, or a security interest of any kind in any property of the Company in favor of Mr. Horne or any other person. The Company shall not be required to purchase, hold or dispose of any investments in order to provide for its obligations hereunder. However, if the Company elects to purchase any such investments, the same shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general assets of the Company, subject to the claims of its creditors, and no person other than the Company shall by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise have any interest in such assets other than an interest as a general creditor. Title to and beneficial ownership of any assets which the Company may acquire to provide for its obligations hereunder shall at all times remain in the Company, and the terms of this Agreement shall not provide Mr. Horne, his estate or any other person any direct proprietary interest therein. Neither Mr. Horne nor any other person shall have the right, by action for specific performance or otherwise, to compel the Company to set aside or actually invest any funds in satisfaction of its obligations hereunder. The sole right of Mr. Horne shall be to receive payments at the times and in the amounts set forth herein.

4. Alienability. Mr. Horne shall not have any power or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or otherwise encumber in advance any rights to payment hereunder, nor shall any of said rights be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by Mr. Horne or any beneficiary, or be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency or for any other reason.

5. Participation in Other Plans; Prior Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to alter, abridge or in any manner affect the rights and privileges of Mr. Horne to participate in and be covered by any pension, profit-sharing, group insurance, bonus or other employee benefit plan which the Company may now or hereafter maintain. The Company hereby agrees that Mr. Horne shall also be entitled to receive all other benefits, for which he is otherwise eligible and qualified, made available from time to time by the Company to its employees, including by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, health, dental, life and disability insurance benefits, so long as he serves as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(b) The payments contemplated by this Agreement are not part of any salary reduction plan or any arrangement deferring a lot bonus or salary increase and are being provided in addition to any salary, bonus, or other remuneration provided to Mr. Horne from time to time by the Company. Mr. Horne has no option to take any current payment or bonus in lieu of such payments.

(c) All notices and other communications relative to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered or mailed by U.S. certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address of the applicable party as set forth below or to such other address of which either party may, by U.S. certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, notify the other party hereto.

AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE

WATTS INDUSTRIES, INC.
RETIREMENT PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES

WHEREAS, Watts Industries, Inc. (the "Sponsoring Employer") established the Watts Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Plan") for the benefit of its employees which was most recently amended and restated effective as of January 1, 1994;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13.01 of the Plan, the Sponsoring Employer reserved the right to amend the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Sponsoring Employer desires to amend the Plan at the request of the Internal Revenue Service in order to receive a determination letter.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

1. Section 1.09 is deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in its place:

1.09 "Compensation" shall mean the total compensation payable to an Employee by the Employer and reportable to the Federal Government for income tax purposes on Form W-2, or any form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service to take its place, excluding stock option rights.

Compensation also includes contributions made on behalf of an Employee by the Employer pursuant to a salary deferral agreement under Section 401(k) of the Code and/or a salary reduction agreement pursuant to a cafeteria plan established under Section 125 of the Code.

Effective January 1, 1989, in no event shall a Participant's Compensation taken into account under the Plan for any Plan Year exceed $200,000 ($150,000 for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 1994) or such other amount as the Secretary of the Treasury may determine for such Plan Year in accordance with Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. Any change in the dollar amount set forth above as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury in accordance with Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall apply only to Compensation taken into account for Plan Years beginning with the Plan Year in which such change is effective (with the first such adjustment being effective January 1, 1990).

In determining the Compensation of a Participant for purposes of this dollar limitation, the rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall apply, except that in applying such rules, the term "family" shall include only the Spouse of the Participant and any lineal descendants of the Participant who have not attained age 19 before the close of such year. If, as a result of applying such rules, the dollar limitation is exceeded, the limitation shall be prorated among the affected family members in proportion to each such individual's Compensation as determined under this Section before application of the dollar limitation.


Effective January 1, 1989, if Compensation for any Plan Year prior to January 1, 1989 is taken into account in determining an employee's benefit accruing in a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1989, the Compensation for such prior Plan Year is subject to an annual compensation limit of $200,000.

Effective January 1, 1994, if Compensation for any Plan Year prior to January 1, 1994 is taken into account in determining an employee's benefits accruing in a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the Compensation for such prior Plan Year is subject to an annual compensation limit of $150,000.

2. Section 2.03 is amended by adding the following subparagraph to the end thereof:

(f) Solely for purposes of determining whether a Break-in-Service has occurred with respect to Section 2.021, each non-compensated hour during a period of absence from the Employer (i) by reason of the Employee's pregnancy, (ii) by reason of the birth of the Employee's child, (iii) by reason of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by the Employee, or (iv) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement shall be credited to the Employee. For purposes of this subsection (f) the following special rules will apply:

(i) any Hour of Service credited hereunder with respect to an absence shall be credited (A) only in the Plan Year in which the absence begins, if the Employee would be prevented from incurring a Break-in-Service in such year solely because of Hours of Service credited hereunder for such absence, or (B) in any other case in the immediately following Plan Year;

(ii) no Hours of Service shall be credited hereunder unless the Employee furnishes the Committee with such information as the Committee may reasonably require (in such form and at such time as the Committee may reasonably require) establishing (A) that the absence from work is an absence described hereunder, and (B) the number of days for which the absence lasted;

(iii)in no event shall more than 501 Hours of Service be credited to an Employee hereunder for any absence by reason of any one pregnancy or the placement of any one child.

Hours of Service to be credited to an individual during an absence described in this Section 2.03(f) above will be determined by the Committee with reference to the individual's most recent normal work schedule; provided that if the Committee cannot so determine the number of Hours to be credited, there shall instead be credited eight (8) Hours of Service for each day of absence.


3. The last sentence of Section 3.03(b)(ii)(b)(2) is deleted and the following is inserted in its place:

If such Terminated Participant does not repay such amount, upon his subsequent retirement or other termination of employment his benefit shall be calculated using Benefit Service as defined in
Section 2.05 provided, however, that Benefit Service prior to January 1, 1987 shall not be included.

4. Section 4.02 is deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in its place:

Except as provided below, a Participant who has reached his fifth-fifth birthday and who has completed at least ten years of Service may elect upon written notice to the Committee on an Early Retirement Date which may be the first day of any month subsequent to the date of such election and prior to his Normal Retirement Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Participant who was hired prior to January 1, 1992 (excluding a former participant of the Spence Plan or the Henry Pratt Plan) who has reached his fifty-fifth birthday and who has completed at least five years of Service may elect upon written notice to the Committee an Early Retirement Date which may be the first day of any month subsequent to the date of such election and prior to his Normal Retirement Date.

5. Section 5.03(c) is deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in its place:

(c) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (d) and (e) and Sections 5.031 and 5.04, the annual Normal Retirement Benefit payable to a Participant who retires under the Plan on or after January 1, 1989 and on or after his Normal Retirement Date shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) below:

(A) is equal to the sum of (1), (2), (3), and (4) below:

(1) 5/8 of 1% of the Participant's Final Average Compensation multiplied by his years of benefit service earned prior to June 1, 1975 under the Spence Plan.

Such amount shall be multiplied by a fraction in which the numerator is the number of years of Benefit Service (including fractions thereof) that the Participant has completed and the denominator is the number of years of Benefit Service (including fractions thereof) that the Participant would have completed if he had remained in the employ of the Employer to his Normal Retirement Date.

A Participant's accrued benefit under Section 5.03(c), (d) and (e) is the benefit as defined under Section 5.03(c), (d) or (e) based on Final Average Compensation and Benefit Service as of the date the accrued benefit is being determined.

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of a Participant whose Compensation for a Plan Year beginning prior to January 1, 1994 exceeded $150,000, such Participant's accrued benefit shall not be less than his accrued benefit determined as of December 31, 1993.

(b) The amount of a deferred vested benefit payable to a Terminated Participant under Section 6.02(b) shall not be less than the Actuarial Equivalent of the balance in his Accumulated Contribution Account, if any.

(a) A Terminated Participant entitled to a Vested Benefit under Section 6.02 may elect to have such benefit commence at any time after he is eligible to elect an Early Retirement Date pursuant to Section 4.02. In such case and subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) below, his benefit shall be computed as in Section 6.021, but shall be reduced by 5/9 of 1% for each of the first sixty (60) months by which his Benefit Commencement Date precedes his Normal Retirement Date, and by 5/18 of 1% for each month thereafter, if any, by which his Benefit Commencement Date precedes his Normal Retirement Date.

"If benefits are payable on account of the same period of employment with the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, under this Plan and another qualified defined benefit plan toward which the Employer contributes (or has contributed), the benefits payable under this Plan on account of such period shall be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent of any benefit payable to him under such other plan calculated in the same form and manner as is the benefit payable under this Plan on account of the same period of Service. However, if such other Plan provides for a similar reduction of benefits, then this Section shall be disregarded with respect to an Eligible Employee whose most recent period of participation in this Plan is earlier than his most recent period of participation in such other plan."

(d) In any Plan Year in which the Plan is top heavy but not super top heavy (substituting 90% for 60% in subparagraph(a) above), Section 5.041(d)(ii) shall be applied by substituting "100%" for "125%" unless the Sponsoring Employer amends subparagraph (b)(i) above by substituting "3%" for "2%" therein.

(e) In any Plan Year in which the Plan is super top heavy, the factor of "125%" shall be changed to "100%" in Section 5.041(d)(ii).

(a) In the event that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue(or his or her delegate) determines that the Plan is not initially qualified under the Code, any Employer contributions made to the Plan shall be returned to the Employer within one year after the date the initial qualification is denied, provided application for qualification is made by the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer's return for the fiscal year in which the Plan is adopted, or such later date as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe.

For purposes of this paragraph, the Actuarial Equivalent shall be determined using an interest rate equal to 5% and the mortality rate specified in Section 1.02(b).

(g) The annual benefit is a retirement benefit under the Plan which is payable annually in the form of a single life annuity. If the benefit payable to a Participant is not in the form of a single life annuity nor in the form of a Spouse Joint and Survivor Annuity, then the maximum annual amount determined under paragraph (a) above shall be reduced in accordance with the applicable regulations so that it is the Actuarial Equivalent of such amount as payable in the normal form.

(not presented separately herein) which is included in the related schedule of Watts Industries, Inc., in Form 10-K. This financial statement schedule is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on our audits.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors
Watts Industries Europe B.V.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements including the consolidated/combined balance sheets of Watts Industries Europe B.V. at Eerbeek as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the statements of operations for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996 (not separately presented herein) expressed in Dutch Guilders. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Netherlands and the United States of America. 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 statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated/combined financial statements of Watts Industries Europe B.V. at Eerbeek present fairly the consolidated/combined financial position of Watts Industries Europe B.V. as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the results for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1996 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Netherlands and comply with the legal requirements for financial statements as included in Part 9, Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code.

Generally accepted accounting principles in the Netherlands vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of consolidated/combined net earnings in the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and the determination of stockholders' equity at June 30, 1996 and 1995 to the extent summarized in Note G.
