Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership

On December 20, 2004, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona in Phoenix, Arizona (the “Bankruptcy Court”), confirmed our joint Chapter 11 plan (the “Plan”) as filed by the Plan proponents. The Plan is a liquidating plan and includes the transfer of our timberlands and certain assets to a new entity (or entities), that will be owned by the creditors that hold liens in the timberlands. The Plan also provides for the substantive consolidation of the entities included in our consolidated group (the “Debtors”) and the creation of a liquidating trust that will dispose of the remaining assets of the Debtors and disburse the proceeds thereof to creditors in accordance with the Plan. The Plan proponents presently intend that the effective date of the Plan will be December 31, 2004.

In addition, the Plan provides that on the effective date of the Plan Crown Pacific Partners, L.P. will be dissolved and all 30,527,030 outstanding common units of Crown Pacific Partners, L.P. will be canceled with no payment to the unitholders.
