ITEM 3.  BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP

         Princeton American  Corporation sets forth below the following material
developments   in  the  United   States   Bankruptcy   Court   pursuant  to  the
implementation  of and operation  under its Joint Plan of  Reorganization  which
became effective December 20, 1997:

         COURT ORDER (1) APPROVING CANCELLATION OF OUTSTANDING  CERTIFICATES AND
ISSUANCE OF NEW  CERTIFICATES;  AND (2) BARRING CLAIMS. As reported in Princeton
American's:  (a) Current  Report on Form 8-K filed  February 10,  2000,  and (b)
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed August 29, 2000, the Bankruptcy  Court issued
a series of orders  establishing  the  allowance  or  disallowance  of claims of
persons purporting to own shares of Princeton American.

         On September 15, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court ordered Princeton  American
and its transfer  agent,  American  Stock Transfer & Trust ("AST") to cancel all
outstanding   Princeton   American  share   certificates  and  issue  new  share
certificates  reflecting the allowed interests of shareholders under the Plan of
Reorganization  for Princeton  American and the Court's prior orders.  The Court
further  ordered  that  Princeton  American and AST are not subject to any claim
based upon the cancellation of outstanding  share  certificates and the issuance
of new  certificates in accordance with the Court's orders.  A copy of the final
Order,  which became final and non-appealable on September 29, 2000, is attached
as Exhibit A to this Report.

         Princeton American is in the process of implementing the Court's order,
and new share  certificates  will be issued for the allowed interests as soon as
reasonably  practicable.  In connection  with the issuance of new  certificates,
Princeton  American has also  initiated a process to change its trading  symbol.
Effective as of October 9, 2000, the trading  symbol,  PELT, has been officially
cancelled,  and no further  trades  will be made under  that  symbol.  After new
certificates have been issued to a majority of those shareholders  possessing an
allowed interest, a new trading symbol will be issued to Princeton American.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended,  the  registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
