NOTE. 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  In January 1995, Energy Industries sold its heat exchanger division, located
in Garland, Texas. The heat exchanger division manufactured one of the integral
components of the gas compressor package, the "cooler" or "heat exchanger".
Energy Industries received $1,470,000, and entered into an alliance agreement
structured to provide Energy Industries with the heat exchangers necessary to
perform its fabrication operations. As part of the consideration of the sale,
Energy Industries received a $725,000 credit to be used against future
purchases over the next five years at a rate of 10% off of normal invoice
price. Approximately $5.5 million in revenues and approximately $471,000 in
operating income, included in Energy Industries results for the eleven months
ended September 30, 1994, was attributable to the heat exchanger division.
 
  During February 1995, Energy Industries acquired the rental fleet of J-Brex
Company for $725,000. Fourteen active rental units were acquired in this
transaction, and Energy Industries entered into a three-year agreement which
affords Energy Industries the right of first refusal on these and any future
compressors J-Brex may need.
 
  In April 1995, Energy Industries acquired the forty-four unit rental fleet of
Mountain Front Pipeline Company, Inc. Energy Industries purchased these units
for $2.7 million, and entered into an agreement with Mountain Front, which
affords Energy Industries exclusive rights for these and any future compressors
for a period of up to thirty months.
 
  On June 30, 1995, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
to sell the assets of Energy Industries for $130 million to Enterra
Corporation. The agreement is subject to stockholder approval and certain
government approvals.
