revised its reportable segments to align with changes in the operating responsibility for certain of the Company&#146;s operations. Our Specialty Drilling group and operations in Ethiopia have been moved from the Water Resources division to the
Mineral Exploration division. We have also moved certain of our purchasing groups out of the Water Resources division into our Other division as they are now focusing on worldwide purchasing for all divisions. Lastly, we have separated the Energy
Services division from the Other division and are presenting it as a separate segment due to the expected growth. The changes mentioned are reflected in the financial information that is provided to our chief operating decision maker. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to the change in reportable segments, the Company sold its SolmeteX operations on July&nbsp;31, 2013, after classifying it as held for sale and
determining it qualified for a discontinued operation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We initially presented and reported financial information

Item 8.01
Other Events.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, Layne Christensen (the "Company")
revised its reportable segments to align with changes in the operating responsibility for certain of the Company's operations. Our Specialty Drilling group and operations in Ethiopia have been moved from the Water Resources division to the
Mineral Exploration division. We have also moved certain of our purchasing groups out of the Water Resources division into our Other division as they are now focusing on worldwide purchasing for all divisions. Lastly, we have separated the Energy
Services division from the Other division and are presenting it as a separate segment due to the expected growth. The changes mentioned are reflected in the financial information that is provided to our chief operating decision maker.
In addition to the change in reportable segments, the Company sold its SolmeteX operations on July 31, 2013, after classifying it as held for sale and
determining it qualified for a discontinued operation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.
We initially presented and reported financial information
following the new reportable segments as well as discontinued operations in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 30, 2013.
Our audited consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and for each of the three years in the period ending January 31,
2013, included as Exhibit 99.4 to this report, have been adjusted to reflect the new segment reporting and discontinued operations, for all periods presented.
The information contained in this report on Form 8-K updates and supersedes the original filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 31, 2013 as described in Item 9.01. This Form 8-K filing does not modify or update other disclosures as presented in the original filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013.
