The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 6 USA WASTE SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The condensed consolidated balance sheets of USA Waste Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company has restated the previously issued financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to reflect the acquisitions of Western Waste Industries ("Western") and Grand Central consummated on May 7, 1996 and May 15, 1996, respectively, both accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting. The Company has also restated the previously issued financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to reflect the acquisition of Western. Periods prior to 1996 were not restated to reflect the acquisition of Grand Central as combined results are not materially different from results as presented. In addition, certain 1995 amounts have been reclassed to conform to the 1996 presentation. The financial statements presented herein should be read in connection with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company's Joint Proxy Statement and Prospectus dated April 2, 1996, included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed in connection with the acquisition of Western, and the supplemental consolidated financial statements and the supplemental condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated May 7, 1996, filed in connection with the acquisition of Western. 1. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On May 7, 1996, the Company consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Western through a merger transaction ("Western Merger") accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the accompanying financial information has been restated to include the accounts and operations of Western for all periods presented. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 1.50 shares of its common stock for each share of Western outstanding common stock. Prior to the Western Merger, the Company owned approximately 4.1% of Western's outstanding shares (634,900 common shares), which were canceled on the Western Merger's effective date. The Western Merger increased the Company's outstanding shares of common stock by approximately 22,028,000 shares and the Company assumed options under Western's stock option plans equivalent to approximately 5,200,000 underlying Company shares of common stock. On May 15, 1996, the Company consummated a merger agreement with Grand Central, accounted for as a pooling of interests, pursuant to which the Company issued 2,067,605 shares of its common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Grand Central. Combined and separate results of operations of the Company prior to consummation of the mergers ("USA Waste"), Western, and Grand Central for the restated periods are as follows (in thousands):
Grand USA Waste Western Central Adjustments Combined --------- ------- ------- ----------- -------- Three months ended March 31, 1996: Operating revenues $ 124,629 $ 68,441 $ 8,455 $ -- $ 201,525 Net income 20,516 4,703 1,538 15(a) 26,772 Three months ended March 31, 1995: Operating revenues $ 101,242 $ 67,638 -- $ -- $ 168,880 Net income 184 4,339 -- 15(a) 4,538 Six months ended June 30, 1995: Operating revenues $ 212,471 $ 136,123 -- $ -- $ 348,594 Net income (loss) (27,657) 8,864 -- 30(a) (18,763)
(a) In February 1992, USA Waste acquired a 55% interest in a collection company from a third party in which Western owned the remaining 45%. In March 1993, USA Waste acquired the remaining 45% interest in the collection company from Western. The combined financial information reflects the combined company's 100% ownership of the acquired collection company as of February 1992. Western's earnings in minority interest from February 1992 through March 1993 and the gain on sale to USA Waste of $2,829,000 have been eliminated. The excess of cost over net assets of acquired businesses, net of accumulated amortization, recorded by USA Waste in February 1992, has also been eliminated. 6 7 During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company acquired 24 collection businesses, one landfill, one transfer station, and two recycling businesses for approximately $49,236,000 in cash and 113,224 shares of the Company's common stock. These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the pro forma effect of the acquisitions is not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. On May 31, 1996, the Company consummated a merger with an Orlando, Florida, collection business accounted for as a pooling of interests, pursuant to which the Company issued 900,001 shares of its common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of the acquired company. Periods presented herein were not restated to include the accounts and operations of the acquired company as combined results are not materially different from the results as presented. On June 22, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Sanifill, Inc. ("Sanifill") through a merger transaction. The completion of the merger is subject to, among other conditions, approval of both companies' shareholders. It is anticipated that the merger will be completed in late August 1996 and will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The merger agreement provides that on the effective date of the merger, the Company will issue 1.70 shares of its common stock for each share of Sanifill's outstanding common stock. The merger is expected to increase the Company's outstanding shares of common stock by approximately 43,100,000 shares and the Company will assume Sanifill's options and warrants equivalent to approximately 43,100,000 underlying shares of Company common stock. The Company expects to incur up to $50,000,000 in estimated nonrecurring costs related to the merger. These costs will be accrued as of the consummation date and are expected to be incurred within twelve months of consummation. 2. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):
June 30, December 31, 1996 1995 -------- -------- Credit facility: Revolving credit facility $420,000 $ 51,613 Term loan facility -- 215,835 Western credit facility -- 41,000 Industrial revenue bonds 129,179 115,421 Other 22,076 26,971 -------- -------- 571,255 450,840 Less current maturities 12,665 40,157 -------- -------- $558,590 $410,683 ======== ========
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $267,448,000 under its $550,000,000 financing agreement, which consisted of a $300,000,000 five-year revolving credit and letter of credit facility and a $250,000,000 term loan facility. Revolving credit loans under the credit facility were limited to $160,000,000 at December 31, 1995, less the amount of any future industrial revenue bonds enhanced by letters of credit under the credit facility. Loans bore interest at a rate based on the Eurodollar rate or the prime rate, plus a spread not to exceed 1.75% per annum (the applicable interest rate at December 31, 1995 was 7.31%). The credit facility was also used for letters of credit purposes with variable fees from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum (1.50% at December 31, 1995) charged on amounts issued. A commitment fee of up to 0.5% was required on the unused portion of the credit facility. On May 7, 1996, in connection with the acquisition of Western, the Company replaced its existing credit facility with a $750,000,000 senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") and retired amounts outstanding under Western's credit facility. The Credit Facility was used to refinance existing bank loans and letters of credit and will be used to fund additional acquisitions and working capital. The Credit Facility also provides for the availability of standby letters of credit of up to $300,000,000. Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based on the Eurodollar rate plus a spread not to exceed 0.75% per annum (spread set at 0.405% per annum as of June 30, 1996). The Credit Facility requires a facility fee not to exceed 0.375% per annum on the entire available credit facility (facility fee set at 0.22% per annum as of June 30, 1996). The Credit Facility contains financial covenants with respect to interest coverage and debt capitalization ratios. The Credit Facility also contains limitations on dividends, additional indebtedness, leins, and asset sales. In connection with the pending acquisition of Sanifill, the Company is currently negotiating a new $1,200,000,000 credit facility with a consortium of banks. The Company anticipates that the credit facility will be effective with the closing of the Sanifill merger. The credit facility will be available for standby letters of credit up to $400,000,000. Loans under this credit facility will bear interest at a rate based on the Eurodollar rate plus a spread not to exceed 0.75% per annum (spread is expected to be set at 0.35% per annum). The credit facility will require a facility fee not to exceed 0.375% per annum on the entire available credit facility (facility fee is expected to be set at 0.20% per annum). 7 8 3. INCOME TAXES The difference in federal income taxes at the statutory rate and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1996, is primarily due to the net change in the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets had a net decrease of $37,947,000 in the first half of 1996 due to changes in the Company's gross deferred tax assets and liabilities and the decrease in the valuation allowance and corresponding recognition of an additional $18,769,000 of net deferred tax assets. Future taxable income was projected utilizing annualized second quarter taxable income, excluding merger costs and unusual items. 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Environmental matters -- The Company is subject to extensive and evolving federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations that have been enacted in response to technological advances and the public's increased concern over environmental issues. As a result of changing governmental attitudes in this area, management anticipates that the Company will continually modify or replace facilities and alter methods of operation. The majority of the expenditures necessary to comply with the environmental laws and regulations are made in the normal course of business. Although the Company, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance in all material respects with the laws and regulations affecting its operations, there is no assurance that the Company will not have to expend substantial amounts for compliance in the future. Litigation and investigation -- See Part II, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q for discussion of legal matters. Insurance -- The Company carries a broad range of insurance coverages, which management considers prudent for the protection of the Company's assets and operations. Some of these coverages are subject to varying retentions of risk by the Company. The casualty coverages currently include $2,000,000 primary commercial general liability and $1,000,000 primary automobile liability supported by $100,000,000 in umbrella insurance protection. The property policy provides insurance coverage for all of the Company's real and personal property. The Company maintains workers' compensation insurance in accordance with laws of the various states in which it has employees. The Company also currently has an environmental impairment liability ("EIL") insurance policy for certain of its landfills and transfer stations that provides coverage for property damages and/or bodily injuries to third parties caused by off-site pollution emanating from such landfills or transfer stations. This policy provides $5,000,000 of coverage per incident with a $10,000,000 aggregate limit. To date, the Company has not had any difficulty in obtaining insurance. However, if the Company in the future is unable to obtain adequate insurance, or decides to operate without insurance, a partially or completely uninsured claim against the Company, if successful and of sufficient magnitude, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business or its financial condition. Additionally, continued availability of casualty and EIL insurance with sufficient limits at acceptable terms is an important aspect of obtaining revenue-producing waste service contracts. Employment agreements -- The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its officers. These employment agreements include provisions governing compensation and benefits to be paid upon termination of employment with the Company or certain changes in control of the Company. Under certain conditions, the agreements can be terminated by the Company or the officer. Upon termination of an agreement, the officer's compensation would continue at approximately 75% of his prior compensation for periods ranging from three to five years. During the three to five year period, the officer would be available to the Company on a part-time basis for consulting and also would not be permitted to engage in any activities in direct competition with the Company. If these officers were to be terminated without cause during 1996 or if certain officers elected to terminate their agreements, the aggregate annual compensation on a part-time basis would be approximately $2,032,000. If a change in control were to occur in 1996 and the officers were to elect to take the change in control payments, they would receive approximately $8,223,000. As of June 30, 1996, the Company has not recorded any accruals in the financial statements related to these employment agreements. 8 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion reviews the Company's operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere herein, as well as the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company's Joint Proxy Statement and Prospectus dated April 2, 1996, included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed in connection with the acquisition of Western, and the supplemental consolidated financial statements and supplemental condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated May 7, 1996, filed in connection with the acquisition of Western. INTRODUCTION The Company provides non-hazardous solid waste management services, consisting of collection, transfer, disposal, soil remediation, and recycling services in 24 states. Since August 1990, the Company has experienced significant growth principally through the acquisition and integration of solid waste businesses and is now the third largest non-hazardous solid waste company in North America. The company owns or operates 42 landfills, 25 transfer stations, and 73 collection companies serving more than 1,300,000 customers. The Company's revenues consist primarily of fees charged for its collection and disposal services. Revenues for collection services include fees from residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal collection customers. A portion of these fees are billed in advance; a liability for future service is recorded upon receipt of payment and revenues are recognized as services are actually provided. Fees for residential services are normally based on the type and frequency of service. Fees for commercial and industrial services are normally based on the type and frequency of service and the volume of solid waste collected. The Company's revenues from its landfill operations consist of disposal fees (known as tipping fees) charged to third parties and are normally billed monthly. Tipping fees are based on the volume or weight of solid waste being disposed of at the Company's landfill sites. Fees are charged at transfer stations based on the volume of solid waste deposited, taking into account the Company's cost of loading, transporting, and disposing of the solid waste at a landfill. Intercompany revenues between the Company's landfill and collection operations have been eliminated in the financial statements presented herein. Operating expenses include direct and indirect labor and the related taxes and benefits, fuel, maintenance and repairs of equipment and facilities, tipping fees paid to third party landfills, property taxes, and accruals for future landfill closure and post-closure costs. Certain direct landfill development expenses are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of a site as capacity is consumed, and include acquisition, engineering, upgrading, construction, and permitting costs. All indirect development expenses, such as administrative salaries and general corporate overhead, are expensed in the period incurred. General and administrative costs include management salaries, clerical and administrative costs, professional services, facility rentals, and related insurance costs, as well as costs related to the Company's marketing and sales force. 9 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the period to period change in dollars (in thousands) and percent for the various Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations items:

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 Operating Revenues Operating revenues increased $47,622,000 or 26.5% and $80,267,000 or 23.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 1995. The increase in operating revenues is attributable to the effect of acquisitions, less dispositions, and the growth in operating revenues from comparable operations, excluding the decline in certain non-core businesses which do not provide a significant contribution to earnings. Acquisitions during 1996 and the effect of acquisitions made during 1995 accounted for increases in operating revenues of 19.9% and 17.4% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively. During the second quarter, operating revenues from comparable disposal and collection operations increased 1.6% due to price increases and approximately 6.4% due to volume increases with declines in other non-core revenues accounting for the remaining decrease of approximately 1.4%. Operating Costs and Expenses Operating costs and expenses increased $21,765,000 or 20.5% and $38,415,000 or 18.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 1995. The increase in operating costs and expenses is primarily attributable to the impact of new business acquisitions, net of dispositions, made in 1996 and 1995 of $25,619,000 and $41,417,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. Offsetting this increase is the effect of reduced operating costs and expenses for the existing operations of Chambers Development Company, Inc. ("Chambers") since the Company's merger with Chambers in June 1995 of approximately $1,390,000 and $4,271,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, and the increased utilization of internal disposal, excluding Western locations, from 49.9% and 49.8% to 52.5% and 52.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, which equates to approximately $1,358,000 and $2,685,000 in decreased costs, respectively. Operating costs and expenses for other 11 12 comparable operations decreased $3,854,000 and $3,002,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,1996, respectively. As a percentage of operating revenues, operating costs and expenses decreased from 59.0% and 59.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, to 56.2% and 57.3% for the corresponding periods in 1996. This decrease occurred for the reasons described above. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses decreased $1,572,000 and $2,992,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the corresponding 1995 periods, and also decreased as a percentage of operating revenues. This is primarily the result of the Company's ability to integrate new business acquisitions without a proportionate increase in general and administrative expenses and cost reductions as a result of the mergers with Western and Chambers consummated in May 1996 and June 1995, respectively. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization increased $1,101,000 and $3,633,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 1995 due primarily to the acquisition of new businesses. As a percentage of operating revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased due to improved utilization of equipment through the internal volume growth in the collection and disposal operations without a corresponding increase in equipment and facilities. Merger Costs In the second quarter of 1996, the Company incurred $35,000,000, $2,700,000, and $400,000 of merger costs related to the acquisitions of Western, Grand Central, and an Orlando, Florida, collection company, respectively. The $35,000,000 of merger costs related to Western include $6,800,000 of transaction costs, $15,000,000 of severance and other termination benefits, and $13,200,000 of costs related to integrating operations. In the second quarter of 1995, the Company incurred $25,073,000 of merger costs related to the Chambers acquisition, including $11,900,000 of transaction costs, $9,473,000 of severance and other termination benefits, and $3,700,000 of costs related to integrating operations. Unusual Items In the second quarter of 1996, unusual items include approximately $4,800,000 of retirement benefits associated with Western's pre-merger retirement plan and approximately $8,100,000 of estimated future losses related to municipal solid waste contracts in California as a result of the continuing decline in prices of recyclable materials. In 1995, unusual items represent $2,800,000 of severance and other termination benefits paid to former Chambers employees in connection with its pre-merger reorganization, $1,300,000 of estimated future losses associated with a New Jersey municipal solid waste contract, and $600,000 of shareholder litigation settlement costs. Income (Loss) from Operations For reasons discussed above, income from operations as a percent of operating revenues was 0.1% and 8.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to (2.3)% and 4.9% in the respective 1995 periods. Income (loss) from recurring operations was 22.6% and 20.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. The improvement in recurring operations is the result of economies of scale realized by the Company with respect to recent acquisitions and improvements in comparable operations. Other Income and Expense Other income and expense consists of interest expense, interest income, and other income. Interest expense, gross of amounts capitalized, decreased as a result of an overall reduction in indebtedness and the refinancing of Chambers pre-merger indebtedness and the Company's existing indebtedness to lower rates at June 30, 1995. In addition, $7,481,000 and $10,994,000 of nonrecurring interest was incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, relating to extension fees and other charges associated with the aforementioned debt refinancing by Chambers. Capitalized interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was $2,047,000 and $4,237,000, respectively, as compared to $1,918,000 and $3,403,000 in the corresponding 1995 periods. 12 13 Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes The provision for (benefit from) income taxes decreased $19,882,000 and $20,080,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 1995. The 1995 provision for income taxes represents current income taxes of USA Waste and Chambers on a separate basis. The decrease in the provision for income taxes in 1996 is the result of the change in the valuation allowance and corresponding recognition of the benefit for a portion of the Company's net deferred tax asset. Net Income (Loss) For the reasons discussed above, net income (loss) increased $33,160,000 and $55,396,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company operates in an industry that requires a high level of capital investment. The Company's capital requirements basically stem from (i) its working capital needs for its ongoing operations, (ii) capital expenditures for cell construction and expansion of its landfill sites, as well as new trucks and equipment for its collection operations, and (iii) business acquisitions. The Company's strategy is to meet these capital needs first from internally generated funds and secondly from various financing sources available to the Company, including the issuance of its common stock. It is further part of the Company's strategy to minimize working capital while maintaining available commitments under bank credit agreements to fund any capital needs in excess of internally generated cash flow. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $93,256,000 (a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.75:1) and a cash balance of $30,262,000, which compares to working capital of $33,525,000 (a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.25:1) and a cash balance of $18,223,000 as of December 31, 1995. For the first six months of 1996, net cash from operations was approximately $51,437,000, and net cash from financing activities was approximately $111,531,000. These funds were used primarily to fund investments in other businesses of $49,236,000 and for capital expenditures of approximately $75,964,000. The Company's capital expenditure and working capital requirements have increased reflecting the Company's business strategy of growth through acquisitions and development projects. The Company's budgeted cash requirements for the remainder of 1996 include estimated capital expenditures of approximately $81,600,000. The Company intends to finance the remainder of its 1996 capital requirements through internally generated cash flow and amounts available under its revolving credit facility. At June 30, 1996, the available line of credit for cash borrowings was $174,200,000. On May 7, 1996, in connection with the acquisition of Western, the Company replaced its existing credit facility with a $750,000,000 senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") and retired amounts outstanding under Western's credit facility. The Credit Facility was used to refinance existing bank loans and letters of credit and will be used to fund additional acquisitions and for working capital. The Credit Facility also provides for the availability of standby letters of credit up to $300,000,000. Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based on the Eurodollar rate plus a spread not to exceed 0.75% per annum (spread initially set at 0.405% per annum). The Credit Facility requires a facility fee not to exceed 0.375% per annum on the entire available credit facility (facility fee initially set at 0.22% per annum). In connection with the pending acquisition of Sanifill, the Company intends to replace its existing Credit Facility with a $1,200,000,000 senior revolving credit facility and retire amounts outstanding under Sanifill's credit facility. The credit facility will be available for standby letters of credit up to $400,000,000. Loans under this credit facility will bear interest at a rate based on the Eurodollar rate plus a spread not to exceed 0.75% per annum (spread is expected to be set at 0.35% per annum). The credit facility will require a facility fee not to exceed 0.375% per annum on the entire available credit facility (facility fee is expected to be set at 0.20% per annum). The unused portion of the credit facility available to fund future acquisitions will approximate $450,000,000 as of the merger's anticipated closing date in late August 1996. The Company's business plan is to grow through acquisitions as well as development projects. The Company has issued equity securities in business acquisitions and expects to do so in the future. Furthermore, the Company's future growth will depend greatly upon its ability to raise additional capital. Management believes that it can arrange the necessary financing required to accomplish its business plan; however, to the extent the Company is not successful in its future financing strategies the Company's growth could be limited. 13 14 Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company acquired four collection businesses, one landfill, and one transfer station for approximately $14,900,000 in cash. The Company also announced the pending acquisition of certain solid waste businesses, including certain assets of Philip Environmental, Inc. for approximately $118,000,000 of common stock and cash, at least $60,000,000 of which will be paid in cash. Businesses representing $75,500,000 of the purchase price can not be acquired until after Laidlaw Waste Systems Canada Ltd. ("Laidlaw") reviews and considers its rights of first refusal to acquire these assets. Subject to Laidlaw's review and regulatory approvals, these acquisitions are expected to close in late August 1996. The Company regularly engages in discussions relating to potential acquisitions and has identified several possible acquisition opportunities. The Company may announce additional acquisition transactions at any time. SEASONALITY AND INFLATION Because the volumes of certain types of waste, such as yard clippings and construction debris, tend to be higher in the spring and summer, the Company experiences seasonal variations in its revenues. As a result, during spring and summer, the Company's revenues tend to be higher than its revenues in fall and winter. In addition, during the winter, harsh weather conditions often temporarily affect the Company's ability to collect, transport, and dispose of waste, as experienced by certain operating locations in the first quarter of 1996. The seasonal impact is often offset by revenues added through acquisitions such that the Company's reported revenues have historically reflected increases in period to period comparisons. The Company believes that inflation and changing prices have not had, and are not expected to have, any material adverse effect on the results of operations in the near future. 14 15 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On or about March 8, 1993, an action was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, captioned Option Resource Group, et al. v. Chambers Development Company, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 93-354. This action was brought by a market maker in options in Chambers stock and two of its general partners and asserts federal securities law and common law claims alleging that Chambers, in publicly disseminated materials, intentionally or negligently misstated its earnings and that Chambers' officers and directors committed mismanagement and breach of fiduciary duties. These plaintiffs allege that, as a result of large amounts of put options traded on the Chicago Board of Options Exchange between March 13 and March 18, 1992, they engaged in offsetting transactions resulting in approximately $2,100,000 in losses. The plaintiffs in Option Resource Group had successfully requested exclusion from a now settled class action of consolidated suits instituted on similar claims ("Class Action") and Option Resource Group is continuing as a separate lawsuit. Discovery has been completed and a trial date of January 2, 1997 has been set. Plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment which is untimely under the court's case management procedures. The court has stayed responses to the motion for summary judgment. In response to discovery on damages, the plaintiffs reduced their damages claim to $433,000 in alleged losses, plus interest and attorneys' fees, for a total damage claim of $658,000, as of August 21, 1995. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. Management of the Company believes the ultimate resolution of such complaint will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. On August 3, 1995, Frederick A. Moran and certain related persons and entities filed a lawsuit against Chambers Development Company, Inc., certain former officers and directors of Chambers, and Grant Thronton, LLP, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption Moran, et al. v. Chambers, et al., Civil Action No. 95-6034. Plaintiffs, who claim to represent approximately 484,000 shares of Chambers stock, requested exclusion from the settlement agreements which resulted in the resolution of the Class Action and assert that they have incurred losses attributable to shares purchased during the class period and certain additional losses by reason of alleged management misstatements during and after the class period. The claimed losses include damages to Mr. Moran's business and reputation. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has transferred this case to the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The Company has filed its answer to the complaint and intends to vigorously defend against these claims. The case is currently in discovery. Management of the Company believes the ultimate resolution of such complaint will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. On or about February 1, 1996, an action was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, captioned Allabastro v. USA Waste Services, Inc., Action No. 96L01165. The case was subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Action No. 96-CV-1336. The plaintiff alleges to have entered into an oral agreement with the Company for brokerage services and is demanding a fee of $950,000 based on the alleged contract and on common law for acting as a broker/advisor to the Company in its 1993 purchase of an Indiana landfill and hauling operation from Chambers. Based on the same facts, the plaintiff is also demanding an additional $36,250,000 fee in connection with the June 1995 merger of Chambers with the Company. The plaintiff is also seeking unspecified damages for acting as a management advisor to the Company in its procurement of a landfill renovation/operation contract in Charleston, West Virginia. Interest and other costs are also demanded. The case is in the early stages of discovery. The Company has filed its answer and intends to vigorously defend against this action, and management believes the ultimate resolution of this suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In or about August 1994, a case was filed against Western in the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. This is an action originally filed by seven landowners who live near a landfill operated by Western in Miller County, Arkansas. The landowners allege that Western unlawfully received hazardous waste and that the pollutants from the waste received by Western had contaminated their property or threatened to contaminate their property in the future. The landowners seek an unspecified amount of damages based on the contamination or threat of contamination. In addition, the landowners seek to recover damages based on the devaluation of their property due to the stigma of being located near a disposal site for hazardous waste and based upon their fear of developing adverse health effects. In July 1995, 135 additional plaintiffs intervened and asserted claims similar to those raised by the original plaintiffs. Western and the other defendants have denied that any unlawful disposal of waste took place at the landfill. In or about June 1995, a case was filed by eight land owners who own property along a creek downstream from Western's Miller County landfill. Plaintiffs allege that their property has been contaminated by releases of hazardous substances from the landfill and other hazardous substance disposal sites operated by the other defendants. The Company believes it has valid defenses to the allegations and is vigorously defending the action, and management believes the ultimate resolution of this suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In late December 1994, a lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court by 24 plaintiffs. Western is among 19 named defendants. The complaint asserts causes of action for nuisance and trespass seeking damages for personal injuries and property damage. The complaint alleges that Western owns a parcel of property, acquired from Cadillac 15 16 Fairview/California located in Torrance, California. The complaint alleges that Montrose Chemical Corporation and others manufactured DDT on property at or adjacent to the property owned by Western. The plaintiffs further allege that contaminants from this property escaped to plaintiff's property, injured plaintiff, and damaged the value of plaintiff's property. On June 29, 1995, this case was removed to the United States District Court. Western has filed an answer denying any liability. The Company believes it has valid defenses to the allegations and intends to vigorously contest the case and is contemplating filing a cross-complaint once its investigation of the facts is completed, and management believes the ultimate resolution of this suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. On or about February 2, 1995, a complaint was filed in a taxpayer lawsuit. The complaint does not name Western as a defendant. The plaintiffs allege that the Riverside County and the other defendants, in connection with a contract with Western regarding the operation and management of the El Sobrante Landfill (the "Landfill") located within the Riverside County (the "Agreement"), engaged in various improper actions, including the unlawful sale of public property, wasting public funds, and making an unconstitutional gift of public property and funds. The complaint seeks an order voiding the Agreement and an injunction ordering the defendants to pay to the County allegedly unlawful revenues earned from the Landfill, to cease further dumping at the Landfill of out-of-county waste, return of alleged windfall profits, and limiting dumping fees charged to incounty residents. The complaint also seeks general damages of $10,000,000, special and punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and costs. The Company believes the taxpayer suit is based upon erroneous assumptions and that there are valid defenses available to the County to each of the claims asserted in the complaint. The Company has now filed a motion to intervene in the litigation and will thereafter become a party to the lawsuit. Recent newspaper articles have indicated that Western, either alone or with others engaged in the solid waste industry, may be a subject of an investigation by the United States government relating to political corruption. The Company has not, however, been charged with any wrongdoing and does not know whether such an investigation is, in fact, ongoing. Western has not been advised by the government that it is a target of any such investigation. Upon written inquiry under the Freedom of Information Act, Western was advised that there were no records of any such investigations. The Company is a party to various other litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. In the normal course of its business and as a result of the extensive government regulation of the solid waste industry, the Company periodically may become subject to various judicial and administrative proceedings involving federal, state, or local agencies. To date, the Company has not been required to pay any material fine or had a judgment entered against it for violation of any environmental law. From time to time the Company also may be subjected to actions brought by citizen's groups in connection with the permitting of landfills or transfer stations, or alleging violations of the permits pursuant to which the Company operates. From time to time, the Company is also subject to claims for personal injury or property damage arising out of accidents involving its vehicles. 16 17 ITEM 4.
