PART I ------ ITEM 1. BUSINESS. Cooper Cameron Corporation ("Cooper Cameron" or the "Company") is a leading international manufacturer and provider of pressure control systems, equipment and services, including valves, wellheads, controls, chokes, blowout preventers and assembled systems for oil and gas drilling and production used in onshore, offshore and subsea applications. Cooper Cameron is also a leading manufacturer of integral engine-compressors, reciprocating compressors, turbochargers and centrifugal air compressors. Cooper Cameron's business of manufacturing petroleum production equipment and compression and power equipment began in the mid-1800's with the manufacture of steam engines that provided power for plants and textile or rolling mills. By 1900, with the discovery of oil and gas, Cooper Cameron moved into the production of natural gas internal combustion engines and gas compressors. The Company added to its product offering through various acquisitions, in particular the acquisitions of The Bessemer Gas Engine Company (gas engines and compressors); Pennsylvania Pump and Compressor (reciprocating air and gas compressors); Ajax Iron Works (compressors); Superior (engines and compressors); Joy Petroleum Equipment Group (valves, couplings and wellheads); Joy Industrial Compressor Group (compressors); and Cameron Iron Works (blowout preventers, ball valves, control equipment and McEvoy-Willis wellhead equipment and choke valves). Cooper Cameron, a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on November 10, 1994. The Company operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper") until June 30, 1995, the effective date of the completion of an exchange offer with Cooper's stockholders resulting in the Company becoming a separate stand-alone company. The common stock of Cooper Cameron is trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CAM". In 1996, Cooper Cameron purchased the assets and assumed certain operating liabilities of Ingram Cactus Company for approximately $100.5 million in cash. The business acquired manufactures and sells wellheads, surface systems, valves and actuators used primarily in onshore oil and gas production operations, and owned manufacturing facilities in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Broussard, Louisiana, as well as in the United Kingdom and Austria. The Company completed the closure of the Austria facility in 2000. The Company also acquired interests in the Ingram Cactus joint ventures in Venezuela and Malaysia. The operations have now been integrated into those of the Cameron division. In 1998, the Company acquired Orbit Valve International, Inc. ("Orbit(R)") for approximately $104 million in cash and debt. Orbit became part of the Cooper Cameron Valves organization. Orbit manufactures and sells high- performance valves and actuators for the oil and gas and petrochemical industries. Orbit's primary manufacturing facility is located in Little Rock, Arkansas with a sales, marketing, assembly, test and warehousing base at Livingston, Scotland in the United Kingdom. 1 During 1999, the Company sold its rotating compressor product line business to Rolls-Royce plc for approximately $200 million. The operations that were sold had primary facilities in Liverpool, United Kingdom, Hengelo in the Netherlands and Mt. Vernon, Ohio. The Company decided to divest this product line because it did not control the key technology of the business (the engine which Rolls-Royce provides) and had limited aftermarket opportunities. During the period from June 30, 1995 through December 31, 2000, the Company also made various other small product line acquisitions and dispositions in certain of its business segments. In January 2001, the Company announced its intention to exit the market for new Superior brand natural gas engines and, as a result, to close its Springfield, Ohio manufacturing facility. The shutdown is expected to largely be completed during the first half of 2001. BUSINESS SEGMENTS ----------------- MARKETS AND PRODUCTS The Company's operations are organized into four separate business segments which are Cameron, Cooper Cameron Valves, Cooper Energy Services and Cooper Turbocompressor, each of which is also a division. For additional industry segment information for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, see Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which Notes are incorporated herein by reference in Part II, Item 8 hereof ("Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.") Cameron Division Cameron manufactures pressure control systems and equipment and provides services for oil and gas drilling and production in onshore, offshore and deepwater subsea applications. The primary products include surface and subsea production systems, gate valves, actuators, chokes, drilling and production risers and aftermarket parts and services, wellheads, drilling valves, blowout preventers ("BOPs") and drilling and production control systems. These products are marketed under the brand names Cameron(R), W-K-M(R), McEvoy(R), Willis(R), and Ingram Cactus(R). The equipment is manufactured in a variety of sizes and to various specifications with working pressure ratings up to 30,000 pounds per square inch ("p.s.i."). The wellhead equipment is designed to support the casing and production tubulars and includes casing head housings, casing heads and tubing heads. Valves of different sizes and design are assembled with other components into an assembly known as a "christmas tree," which is mounted on the wellhead equipment and is used to control the flow of oil and gas from a producing well. Most christmas trees are custom designed to meet individual customer requirements. Cameron also manufactures subsea production systems, which consist of equipment used to complete an oil or gas well on the sea floor. Subsea systems tend to be sophisticated and generally require a high degree of technological innovation. 2 In 1993, Cameron introduced its patented SpoolTree(TM) horizontal subsea production system for use in oil and gas fields with subsea completions that require frequent retrieval of downhole equipment. With the SpoolTree system, well completion and workover activities can be performed without a workover riser or removal of the christmas tree and under conventional blowout preventer control, thereby reducing the time and equipment needed to perform such activities. Cameron provides surface and subsea blowout preventer (BOP) stacks, drilling riser, drilling valves and choke and kill manifolds, as well as hydraulic and multiplexed electro-hydraulic (MUX) control systems used to operate surface and subsea BOP stacks, to multiple customers in the drilling business worldwide. Additionally, Cameron provides complete integrated elastomer research, development and manufacturing. These products are used in pressure and flow control equipment. This technology also supports the petroleum, petrochemical, rubber molding and plastics industries in the development and testing of elastomer and plastic products. The Cameron Willis Chokes business unit was formed in late 1997 to focus resources on the choke product line with the goal of enhancing Cameron's performance in this product line. Cameron Willis manufactures production chokes, control valves, drilling choke systems, actuators, and pigging and production automation systems for the surface and subsea production markets. The Company's primary choke manufacturing operations have now been consolidated into its Longford, Ireland facility with surface gate valve actuator manufacturing primarily performed in Houston, Texas. The Cameron Controls business unit was created in late 1996 with a primary goal of expanding Cameron's role in the design, manufacture and service of drilling, production and workover control systems worldwide. Drilling and production equipment used on the ocean floor operates from a platform or other remote location through hydraulic or electronic connections that allow the operator to measure and control the pressures and throughput associated with these installations. Cameron Controls' two primary manufacturing assembly and testing facilities are located in Celle, Germany and Houston, Texas. In 2001, the Company intends to expand the CAMTROL system to include all of Cameron's controls capabilities, including production, drilling and workover. Continued product development in subsea production controls, bolstered by the successful installation of various projects, should strengthen and expand the Company's market position and product offerings. The Cameron division has established an aftermarket initiative, CAMSERV(TM), with a worldwide aftermarket organization that provides replacement parts, field service, major repairs and overhauls, unit installation assistance and Total Vendor Management contracts. The CAMSERV initiatives are designed to provide flexible, cost-effective solutions to customer aftermarket needs throughout the world and combine traditional aftermarket services and products. Cameron also provides an inventory of repair parts, service personnel, planning services and inventory and storage of customers' idle equipment. This initiative has reinforced Cameron's role as one of the industry's leaders in parts and service. 3 Cameron primarily markets its petroleum production equipment products directly to end-users through a worldwide network of sales and marketing employees, supported by agents in some international locations. Due to the technical nature of many of the products, the marketing effort is further supported by a staff of engineering employees. The balance of Cameron's products are sold through established independent distributors. Cameron's primary customers include major oil and gas exploration and production companies, independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, engineering and construction companies, drilling contractors, rental equipment companies and geothermal energy producers. Cooper Cameron Valves Division Cooper Cameron Valves ("CCV") provides products and services to the gas and liquids pipelines, oil and gas production and industrial process markets. CCV manufactures valves ranging in sizes from 1/4 inch to 60 inches in diameter and related systems primarily used to control pressures and direct oil and gas as they are moved from individual wellheads to industrial centers for processing. Large diameter valves are used primarily in natural gas transmission lines. Smaller valves are used in oil and gas gathering and processing systems and in various types of industrial processes in refineries and petrochemical plants. Gate valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, Orbit valves, rotary process valves, block and bleed valves, plug valves, actuators, chokes and aftermarket parts are marketed under the brand names Cameron(R), W-K-M(R), Orbit(R), Demco(R), Foster(R) and Thornhill Craver(TM). CCV markets its equipment and services through a worldwide network of combined sales and marketing employees, distributors and agents in selected international locations. Due to the technical nature of many of the products, the marketing effort is further supported by a staff of engineering employees. CCV's primary customers include major and independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, foreign national oil and gas companies, pipeline companies, refining companies and a wide range of industrial, petrochemical and processing industry companies. Distributors and customers currently have ready access to product information, including detailed technical drawings, engineering bulletins, manuals and catalogs via the CCV website. In 2001, CCV plans to launch a web- enabled valve configurator and quotes management system for internal use and eventually for certain CCV customers. In 2000, development was completed for a range of 2" to 16" ball valves capable of performing at pressures of 10,000 psi and in water depths of 10,000 feet. CCV significantly expanded its aftermarket business throughout the year, including the acquisition of Valve Sales Inc., a Houston-based valve repair and manufacturing company in the first quarter of 2000. 4 Cooper Energy Services Division Cooper Energy Services ("CES") provides products and services to the oil and gas production, gas transmission and process markets. The primary products include integral engine-compressors, reciprocating compressors, turbochargers, control systems and aftermarket parts and services. CES markets its products worldwide under the brand names Ajax(R), Cooper-Bessemer(R), Superior(R), Enterprise(R), C-B Turbocharger(R), PPC(R), Service Solutions(TM) and TXC(R). CES's reciprocating compressor products include "integral" and "separable" configurations. CES provides the Ajax integral engine-compressors (140 to 880 horsepower), which combine the engine and compressor on a single drive shaft and are used for gas re-injection and storage, as well as smaller gathering and transmission lines. In addition, a line of rotary screw compressors powered by natural gas engines and electric motor drives was added in 1997. CES introduced a proprietary 1,150 psi high-pressure rotary screw system in 1999. The Superior reciprocating compressors (400 to 9,000 horsepower) are used primarily for natural gas applications, including production, storage, withdrawal, processing and transmission, as well as petrochemical processing. The new Superior WG compressor series was introduced in 2000 for large project applications up to 9,000 horsepower. These high speed separable compressor units can be matched with either natural gas engine drivers or electric motors and provide a cost advantage over competitive equipment in the same power range. There is an installed base of Cooper-Bessemer engines and compressors (up to 30,000 horsepower) for which CES provides replacement parts and service on a worldwide basis. CES is organized into three business units in order to better focus on the strategic growth, product development, and technical support unique to its product offerings and to better serve its customers' needs. The three business units consist of the Ajax and Superior Compressor, Aftermarket Parts, and Aftermarket Service business units. In 1999, CES began selling all of its current offering of new compression equipment domestically through a network of independent distributors rather than on a direct basis with the end user. These distributors are offered varying levels of pricing and support depending on their volume of purchases and whether the products purchased are for their own rental fleets or for resale. CES completed its network of distributors for domestic compression equipment in mid- 2000. CES continues to sell its compression equipment internationally directly to end-users through a network of sales and marketing employees supported by agents in some locations. In addition to the sale of the rotating business previously described, CES initiated a significant level of restructuring aimed at improving the productivity of its manufacturing processes. In 2000, CES completed the closing of the Grove City, Pennsylvania plant and foundry. Most of the activity previously conducted at that location has been outsourced to third 5 parties or relocated to other CES or Cooper Cameron facilities. Also in early 2000, the relocation of the central warehouse in Mt. Vernon, Ohio to Houston, Texas was begun. CES has constructed a new separable compressor plant and research and development center in Waller, Texas. Each manufacturing station in the new plant is designed for short cycle, just-in-time machining and assembly to reduce inventory requirements and product lead times. The plant is designed to manufacture the division's complete line of separable compressor units to serve the natural gas market. The relocation of the existing compressor plant in Mt. Vernon, Ohio to the new Waller facility will be completed in the first half of 2001. In addition, CES continued to outsource other manufacturing activity during 2000 which resulted in cost savings. In January 2001, CES announced its decision to exit the market for new Superior brand natural gas engines, including its 2400 engine line, and to close the Springfield, Ohio engine plant. This shutdown is expected to be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2001. The primary customers for compression equipment include the major oil and gas companies, large independent oil and gas producers, gas transmission companies and equipment leasing companies. Cooper Turbocompressor Division Cooper Turbocompressor ("CTC") markets its products under the brand names of TurboAir(R), Quad 2000(R), and MSG(R). This division manufactures the integrally geared centrifugal air compressors of the Joy Industrial Compressor Group. The compressors are used by industrial plants as a source of power for the operation of tools, actuation of control devices and to power automatic and semi-automatic production equipment. In addition, CTC also manufactures integrally geared centrifugal compressors for process air and gas applications. In these cases, the compressor is an integral part of the process in industries such as air separation, chemical, pharmaceutical, fermentation, petrochemical, refining and synthetic fuel. The process and plant air centrifugal compressors manufactured by CTC deliver oil-free compressed gas to the customer, thus preventing oil contamination of the finished products. Industrial markets worldwide increasingly prefer oil-free air for quality, safety, operational and environmental reasons. CTC provides aftermarket service and repairs on all equipment it produces through a worldwide network of service centers and field service technicians utilizing an extensive inventory of parts, including Genuine Joy(R) parts. CTC expanded its service organization with added training and certification of its domestic and international distributors in the plant air market. CTC provides installation and maintenance service labor, parts and factory repairs and upgrades to its worldwide customers for plant air and process gas compressors. 6 CTC primarily sells its products through sales representatives and independent distributors supported by a staff of trained product specialists. Customers include petrochemical and refining companies, durable goods manufacturers, basic resource, utility, air separation and chemical process companies, with a specific focus on automotive, glass, textile, electronics, food, container, pharmaceutical and other companies that require oil-free compressed air. During 2000, CTC expanded its product range through the addition of new compressor frames (TA-6000, TAC-2000 and TA-11000) and the addition of trademark accessories such as Dry Pac(R) heat compression dryers and Turboblend(R) hydro- cracked turbomachinery lubricating oil. CTC is also continuing its efforts to focus on customer service. Also in 2000, CTC began an active aftermarket development effort leveraging off its significant base of installed equipment, redefined its Engineered Compressor product line and has continued to move forward with an MSG Renaissance program to update its MSG product line. CTC expects to launch its e-commerce program in 2001, with the aim of providing incremental growth opportunities by adding new communication ideas and methods to the existing marketing plan. Also in 2001, CTC plans to establish a packaging capability in Asia to better serve customers in the region. MARKET ISSUES Cooper Cameron, through its segments, is one of the market leaders in the global market for petroleum production equipment. Cooper Cameron believes that it is well positioned to serve these markets. Plant and service center facilities around the world in major oil producing regions provide a broad, global breadth of market coverage. The international market is expected to be a major source of growth for Cooper Cameron. The desire to expand the oil and gas transmission capacity in developed and developing countries, for both economic and political reasons, will be one of the primary factors affecting market demand. Additionally, establishment of industrial infrastructure in the developing countries will necessitate the growth of basic industries that require plant air and process compression equipment. Production and service facilities in North and South America, Europe and the Far East provide the Company with the ability to serve the global marketplace. In each of Cooper Cameron's business segments, a large population of installed engines, compression equipment, and gas and oil production equipment exists in both the U.S. and international market segments. The rugged, long- lived nature of the equipment that exists in the field provides a predictable repair parts and service business. The Company expects that as increasing quantities of new units are sold into the international markets, there will be a continuing growth in market demand for aftermarket parts and service. NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT As petroleum exploration activities have increasingly been focused on subsea locations, the Cameron division has directed much of its new product development efforts toward this market. In subsea exploration, customers are particularly concerned about safety, environmental 7 protection and ease of installation and maintenance. Cameron's reputation for high quality and high dependability has given it a competitive advantage in the areas of safety and environmental protection. A patented subsea production system called the SpoolTree, which was introduced in 1993, offers substantial cost savings to the customer as it is based upon a novel concept that eliminates the need for a workover riser or removal of the christmas tree during workover. Cameron has pioneered this concept and has developed similar products for land and platform applications, which significantly reduce customer costs. Cameron has also introduced the MOSAIC(TM) (Modular Subsea And Integrated Completions) system. MOSAIC includes a suite of pre-engineered elements with standard interfaces that can be combined in a fashion to allow customers to configure a system to meet their specific needs. Cameron believes that it has chosen to standardize components at a level low enough to give customers the required customization while providing engineering and manufacturing efficiencies. Cameron has realigned its engineering and marketing resources to further develop and market the MOSAIC Subsea system and other stand-alone standardized subsea products, such as christmas trees and wellheads. Several new drilling products were introduced in 1998 and 1999. These new products included the 3.5 million-pound load capacity LoadKing(TM) riser system, which set the industry standard for drilling in 10,000-foot water depths; a new lightweight and lower-cost locking mechanism for subsea BOPs; and a new generation of variable-bore ram packers. Additionally, Cameron's Freestanding Drilling Riser, introduced in 1999, was a winner of the Petroleum Engineer International Special Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation. In May 1998, Cameron opened a new Research Center in Houston, Texas. The 53,000 sq. ft. Research Center is one of the largest product development facilities in the oil service sector. The facility has 10 specially designed test bays to test and evaluate Cameron's products under realistic conditions. These include environmental test chambers to simulate extreme pressures and temperatures, high-strength fixtures for the application of multi-million pound tensile and bending loads, high pressure gas compressors and test enclosures, a hyperbaric chamber to simulate the external pressures of deep water environments, and two circulation loops for erosion and flow testing. This Research Center is instrumental in providing Cameron's customers with innovative and cost-effective products. In 1997, Cameron Controls launched a new electro-hydraulic drilling control system that was favorably received in the market. A new subsea production control system was developed and launched in 1998. These successful product launches have enhanced the subsea systems offerings for the company. In 1999, CES developed the Superior WG compressor series. These high-speed separable compressor units can be matched with either natural gas engine drivers or electric motors for upstream production, mid-stream processing and gas transmission markets. The speed, power and versatility of the WG series provide a cost advantage over competitive equipment in the same power range. CES' first sale of the new unit was for an electric motor-driven dual gas boosting application, and was installed in the third quarter of 2000. 8 In 2000, CCV completed the development of a range of 2" to 16" ball valves capable of performing at pressures of 10,000 psi and in water depths of 10,000 feet. CTC focused product development resources to further expand its high efficiency plant air compressor line and to provide custom compressors matched to the requirements of its industrial gas customers. The latter is being achieved by advances in aerodynamic and rotor dynamic analytical design capability. During 2000, CTC introduced the TA-6000, the TAC-2000 and the TA- 11000 to extend the CTC standard product range up to 2,500 horsepower. These new products position CTC as a viable supplier of turbo plant air compressors in a wide range of horsepowers. Other new products offered in 2000 include Turboblend (CTC brand lubrication oil), Quad 2000 Controller upgrades (CTC electronic control systems) with up-to-date communication capabilities and component packaging programs. COMPETITION Cooper Cameron competes in all areas of its operations with a number of other companies, some of which have financial and other resources comparable to or greater than those of Cooper Cameron. Cooper Cameron believes it has a leading position in the petroleum production equipment markets, particularly with respect to its high-pressure products. In these markets, Cooper Cameron competes principally with FMC Corporation, Varco International, Inc., Masterflo, Kvaerner Oil and Gas, Vetco Gray Inc. (a subsidiary of Asea Brown Boveri), Dril-Quip, Inc., Hydril Company, Dresser Valve, Circor, Balon Corporation and Neles-Jamesbury. The principal competitive factors in the petroleum production equipment markets are technology, quality, service and price. Cooper Cameron believes that several factors give it a strong competitive position in these markets. Most significant are Cooper Cameron's broad product offering, its worldwide presence and reputation, its service and repair capabilities, its expertise in high pressure technology and its experience in alliance and partnership arrangements with customers and other suppliers. Cooper Cameron believes it also has a leading position in the compression equipment markets. In these markets, Cooper Cameron competes principally with the Dresser Rand Division of Ingersoll-Rand Company, Ingersoll-Rand Air Solutions Group, Demag, GHH/Borsig, Elliott Company, division of Ebara, Ariel Corporation and Atlas-Copco AB. The principal competitive factors in the compression equipment markets are engineering and design capabilities, product performance, reliability and quality, service and price. Cooper Cameron has a highly competent engineering staff and skilled technical and service representatives, with service centers located throughout the world. In all of its markets, Cooper Cameron's products have strong brand recognition and Cooper Cameron has an established reputation for quality and service. Cooper Cameron has a base of previously-installed products, which provides a steady demand for aftermarket parts and 9 service. Cooper Cameron has modern manufacturing facilities and state-of-the-art testing capabilities. MANUFACTURING Cooper Cameron has manufacturing facilities worldwide that conduct a broad variety of processes, including machining, fabrication, assembly and testing using a variety of forged and cast alloyed steels and stainless steel as the primary raw materials. In recent years, Cooper Cameron has rationalized plants and products, closed various manufacturing facilities, moved product lines to achieve economies of scale, and upgraded the remaining facilities. Manufacturing processes have been improved and significant capital expenditures have been made. Cooper Cameron maintains advanced manufacturing, quality assurance and testing equipment geared to the specific products that it manufactures and uses extensive process automation in its manufacturing operations. The manufacturing facilities utilize computer aided numeric controlled tools and manufacturing techniques that concentrate the equipment necessary to produce similar products in one area of the plant in a configuration commonly known as a manufacturing cell. One operator in a manufacturing cell can monitor and operate several machines, as well as assemble and test products made by such machines, thereby improving operating efficiency and product quality while reducing the amount of work-in-process and finished product inventories. Cooper Cameron believes that its test capabilities are critical to its overall process. The Company has the capability to test most equipment at full load, measuring all operating parameters, efficiency and emissions. All process compressors for air separation and all plant air compressors are given a mechanical and aerodynamic test in a dedicated test center prior to shipment. All of Cooper Cameron's European manufacturing plants are ISO certified and API licensed. Most of the U.S. plants are ISO certified and certification is in process for the remainder. ISO is an internationally recognized verification system for quality management. BACKLOG Cooper Cameron's backlog was approximately $528 million at December 31, 2000, (approximately 95% of which is expected to be shipped during 2001) as compared to $513 million at December 1999 and $790 million at December 31, 1998. Backlog consists of customer orders for which a purchase order has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Cooper Cameron believes that the success of its business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its ongoing research, development and manufacturing activities, Cooper Cameron has a policy of seeking patents when appropriate on inventions concerning new products and product improvements. Cooper Cameron owns 252 10 unexpired United States patents and 638 unexpired foreign patents. During 2000, 31 new patent applications were filed. Although in the aggregate these patents and Cooper Cameron's trademarks are of considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its products, Cooper Cameron does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except the Cameron and Cooper-Bessemer trademarks. Other important trademarks used by Cooper Cameron include Ajax, C-B Turbocharger, Demco, Enterprise, Foster, Ingram Cactus, McEvoy, MSG, Orbit, PPC, Quad 2000, Superior, Texcentric, Thornhill Craver, TurboAir, Willis and W-K-M. Cooper Cameron has the right to use the trademark Joy on aftermarket parts until November 2027. Cooper Cameron has registered its trademarks in the countries where such registration is deemed material. Cooper Cameron also relies on trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. Cooper Cameron routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees and suppliers. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not independently obtain similar information or otherwise gain access to Cooper Cameron's trade secrets. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2000, Cooper Cameron had approximately 7,300 employees, of which approximately 1,085 were represented by labor unions. Cooper Cameron believes its current relations with employees are good.

Cooper Cameron believes its facilities are suitable for their present and intended purposes and are adequate for the Company's current and anticipated level of operations. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Cooper Cameron is a party to various legal proceedings and administrative actions, including certain environmental matters discussed below, all of which are of an ordinary or routine nature incidental to the operations of the Company. In the opinion of Cooper Cameron's management, such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Environmental Matters Cooper Cameron is subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the storage, handling and discharge of materials into the environment, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act (including the 1990 Amendments) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Cooper Cameron believes that its existing environmental control procedures are adequate and it has no current plans for substantial capital expenditures in this area. Cooper Cameron has a proactive environmental management program aimed at compliance with existing environmental regulations and elimination or significant reduction in the generation of pollutants in its manufacturing processes. Cooper Cameron management intends to continue these policies and programs. 12 Cooper Cameron has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") with respect to five sites designated for cleanup under CERCLA or similar state laws, which impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages without regard to fault or the legality of waste generation or disposal. Persons liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of substances found at those sites. Although CERCLA imposes joint and several liability on all PRPs, in application, the PRPs typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon the volume of waste contributed by each PRP. Settlements often can be achieved through negotiations with the appropriate environmental agency or the other PRPs. PRPs that contributed less than one percent of the waste are often given the opportunity to settle as a "de minimis" party, resolving liability for a particular site. Cooper Cameron is the major PRP at the Osborne Landfill in Grove City, Pennsylvania, which it owns. A remediation plan was developed and then accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as the preferred remedy for the site. The construction phase of the remediation was completed in 1997 and the remaining costs relate to ground water treatment and monitoring. With respect to the remaining four sites, Cooper Cameron's share of the waste volume is estimated and believed to be less than one percent. Therefore, Cooper Cameron is a "de minimis" party with respect to these sites. Cooper Cameron has accruals to the extent costs are known for these five sites. Cooper Cameron believes, based on its review and other factors, that the estimated costs relating to these sites will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. However, no assurance can be given that the actual costs will not exceed the estimates of the cleanup costs once determined. Cooper Cameron does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or competitive position as a result of compliance with Federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations or cleanup costs of the sites discussed above. However, some risk of environmental liability and other costs is inherent in the nature of Cooper Cameron's business, and there can be no assurance that material environmental costs will not arise. Moreover, it is possible that future developments, such as promulgation of regulations implementing the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act and other increasingly strict requirements of environmental laws and enforcement policies thereunder, could lead to material costs of environmental compliance and cleanup by Cooper Cameron. The cost of environmental remediation and compliance generally has not been an item of material expense for Cooper Cameron during any of the periods presented, other than with respect to the Osborne Landfill described above. Cooper Cameron's balance sheet at December 31, 2000, includes accruals totaling approximately $1.0 million for environmental remediation activities. 13 ITEM 4.
