ITEM 3.  BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP.

     On  March  11,  2002,  U.S.   Aggregates,   Inc.  and  certain   affiliates
(collectively, the "Company") filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the  District  of  Nevada.  The  Case  Numbers  for  the  Company's   bankruptcy
proceedings are  BK-N-02-50656-GWZ  thru  BK-N-50675-GWZ  (these cases are being
jointly administered under Case Number BK-N-02-50656-GWZ).

     The  Company is  continuing  to operate  as a  debtor-in-possession  and no
Chapter 11 trustee, receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer has been appointed
and no such appointment is currently contemplated.  As was reported earlier, the
Company will seek the permission of the bankruptcy  court to conduct the sale of
its assets under  Section 363 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code.  If approved by the
bankruptcy  court, the sale will be subject to a competitive  bidding auction at
which all qualified  parties can, and are  encouraged  to, bid for the assets of
the entire Company, or of those of the Western or Southeastern business.
