ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

         On November 20, 2001 a civil complaint was served upon Meadow Valley
Corporation and its directors by Silver State Materials Corp. and Cyrus Spurlino
(Silver State Materials Corp., et. al. vs. Meadow Valley Corporation, et. al.,
Eighth District Court, Clark County, Nevada, Case Number A-442555.)

         The complaint primarily alleges that Meadow Valley's October 1995
Registration Statement on Form S-1 was misleading in stating that Meadow
Valley's directors were elected on a staggered basis because Meadow Valley's
Bylaws, providing for such staggered term, were not so amended until April 1997,
and that such amendment was not filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

         The complaint seeks (i) to terminate all of Meadow Valley's directors
for cause, (ii) to elect a new Board of Directors, (iii) to cause Meadow Valley
to enact amended and restated bylaws, (iv) for monetary damages in an
undisclosed amount, (v) for interest, fees and costs, and (vi) for such other
relief as the District Court may deem appropriate.

         Meadow Valley believes that the complaint is without merit and intends
to vigorously defend it.
