Item 5. Other Events.

On September 24, 2003, Temtex Industries, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that on September 22, 2003, the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central Division of California, Riverside Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"), approved, among other things, the proposed sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, including certain of the assets of its subsidiaries, to CFM Corporation. Subject to certain contingencies, including the completion of due diligence, the execution of a definitive asset purchase agreement, and the approval of the transaction by the Bankruptcy Court, the asset purchase will close on October 3, 2003.

CFM Corporation submitted a bid of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000), which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Assuming the approved transaction closes at the agreed purchase price, the Company believes that the proceeds from the transaction will be insufficient to fully satisfy its outstanding creditor claims, and, as such, the Company believes that its outstanding stock is without value.
