Kaiser Ventures LLC’S response to question (3) of Part IV - OTHER INFORMATION

As a result of the denial on July 30, 2010, of the Company’s petition requesting an en banc hearing to review the Company’s prior adverse decision of the U.S. 9^th Circuit Court of Appeals, the Company has undertaken an analysis to determine whether the carrying value of the Eagle Mountain landfill investment is recoverable. The Company is continuing to evaluate the fair value of the Eagle Mountain landfill investment. At this time, it is estimated that an impairment of approximately $12,500,000 will be recognized as of June 30, 2010. This will result in a significant change in the results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year.
