ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

     On June 20, 2000, Petroglyph Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and III Exploration Company, an Idaho corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Intermountain Industries, Inc. ("IIIX"), entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides that,
on the Effective Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), a wholly-owned
acquisition subsidiary of IIIX ("Merger Sub") will merge with and into the
Company, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IIIX (such
events constituting the "Merger"). Once the Merger is consummated, Merger Sub
will cease to exist as a corporation and all of the business, assets,
liabilities and obligations of Merger Sub will be merged into the Company, with
the Company remaining as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation")
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IIIX.

     As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Company Common Stock"), other than shares owned by
the Company, and/or IIIX, will be converted into the right to receive merger
consideration of $2.85.

     The Merger is conditioned upon the approval of a majority of the shares of
Company Common Stock. The Company intends to seek stockholder approval and
consummate the Merger as soon as practicable.

     A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1. The foregoing
summary of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the exhibit. A joint press release announcing the execution of the
Merger Agreement was issued on June 20, 2000. A copy of the press release is
attached as Exhibit 99.1.
