ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On February 26, 2009, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”) rendered an opinion (the “Opinion”) regarding the motion of First State Insurance Company and Twin City Fire Insurance Company for summary judgment denying confirmation of the amended joint plan of reorganization (the “Amended Plan”) under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of Congoleum Corporation (“Congoleum”), the Official Asbestos Claimants’ Committee (the “ACC”) and the Official Committee of Bondholders for Congoleum (the “Bondholders’ Committee”), et al. (Congoleum, the ACC and the Bondholders’ Committee are referred to herein as the “Plan Proponents”).  Pursuant to the Opinion, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing Congoleum’s bankruptcy case (the “Order of Dismissal”).

On February 27, 2009, Congoleum and the Bondholders’ Committee appealed the Order of Dismissal to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.  On March 3, 2009, an order was entered by the Bankruptcy Court granting a stay of the Bankruptcy Court’s Order of Dismissal until 20 days after  a final non-appealable decision affirming  the Order of Dismissal.

A copy of the Opinion is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.
