ITEM 5. Other Events and Required FD Disclosure

      As referenced in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") on August 20, 2002, the SEC commenced a civil action on
August 15, 2003 against Timothy P. Horne, a member of our Board of Directors,
our controlling stockholder, and former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman,
alleging that Mr. Horne received confidential information as an officer of Watts
Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and used it to profit from trading he did in
shares of Central Sprinkler Corp. in May 1999. The complaint alleged violations
of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder based on insider trading.

      Mr. Horne has entered into an agreement with the SEC to settle the civil
action. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Horne, without admitting or denying the
allegations of the complaint filed by the SEC, has consented to the entry of a
final judgment against him which requires him to disgorge profits gained as a
result of the conduct alleged in the complaint, pay prejudgment interest, plus a
civil money penalty, and which permanently restrains and enjoins him from
violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule
10b-5 thereunder.

      As previously announced in a press release issued by the Company on
December 6, 2002, Michael O. Fifer, our former President of North American
Operations, has left the Company.
