Item 8.01 Other Events


The Company received notice in the lawsuit Greenwood Products, Inc. et al v. Greenwood Forest Products, Inc. et al., Case No. 05-02553 (Multnomah County Circuit Court) which involves a Company subsidiary as plaintiff. Upon remand from the Oregon Supreme Court, the Oregon Court of Appeals has concluded that Greenwood Forest Products, Inc. as defendants are entitled to a new trial. As a consequence, the Court ruled that the judgment in favor of Jewett Cameron as plaintiffs should be reversed and the judgment in favor of defendants should stand.  The judgment in favor of the Company was for $819,000 plus attorneys fees.  The judgment against plaintiffs was for $1,187,137.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new ruling, and is evaluating potential next steps.  As of the date of this filing, the potential exposure to the Company of this new ruling is $1.8 million.
