Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 23, 2004, U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno held a status conference on Armstrong’s Chapter 11 case. The agenda for the conference was how to proceed with the case following the Bankruptcy Court’s December 2003 proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law and its proposed confirmation order for Armstrong’s Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). Judge Robreno replaced Judge Alfred Wolin as the U.S. District Judge overseeing the matter earlier this year. No proceedings in the U.S. District Court had been held in this case since the status of the prior judge was challenged in a related case in late 2003.

The Unsecured Creditors Committee, in the status report filed with the Court, had raised objections to the proposed confirmation order and related issues. Judge Robreno scheduled a hearing to consider those objections at 10 a.m. on December 15 in Philadelphia. A copy of the U.S. District Court’s Order to this effect is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Based on the hearing, the Court is expected to decide whether the Plan is to be immediately approved, or whether further proceedings are necessary. The Company continues to support Court approval of the Plan, but it is unable to predict when and if it will be confirmed. Therefore, the timing and terms of a resolution of the Company’s Chapter 11 case remains uncertain.
