Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 9, 2011, Heckmann Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be deemed filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On August 9, 2011, the Company announced that it is negotiating to sell China Water & Drinks, Inc. (“China Water”), which forms the Company’s bottled water business segment. The Company has decided to pursue the sale of China Water in order to allow management to focus on the Company’s rapidly growing U.S. water business and the market for integrated water services in the oil and natural gas sectors. The Company expects to complete all activities with respect to the sale of the bottled water segment within twelve months. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company will classify its bottled water segment as a discontinued operation and will reclassify its comparable period results to reflect this change.
The Company is not able at this time to make an estimate of the total charges relating to the sale of the bottled water segment. The Company will file an amended report or reports as and when it determines such estimate.
A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
