Without unreasonable effort or expense, the Company is not able to complete its financial statement disclosures to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. Although the Company was in compliance with all covenants of its Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement at January 1, 2011, the Company is in the process of obtaining a third amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to extend the maturity date of the revolving credit portion of the Credit Agreement such that it will be available for a period in excess of twelve months from the filing date of this Form 10-K. The Company expects to file the Form 10-K within the fifteen calendar day extension period granted by Rule 12b-25(b).

SEC 1344 (05-06) Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
			x Yes    o No
(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
			x Yes    o No
	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. The Company expects to report a pre-tax net loss from continuing operations of $570,000 on sales of $114,284,000 for 2010 compared to the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $1,564,000 on sales of $113,461,000 reported for fiscal 2009 despite the inclusion of a $2,026,000 gain on the sale of a portion of the Company’s sand property in Colorado Springs during 2009. In 2010, gains from the sales of property and equipment were only $73,000. The improved results were primarily due to higher gross profit margins in the Concrete, Aggregates and Contsturction Supplies segment and the Heating and Cooling segment from the unusually low levels realized in 2009. The Company also expects to report a loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax benefits, of $96,000 for 2010 compared to a loss of $640,000 in 2009.
