     The reporting  person filed an Amended Schedule 13G dated January 15, 2003.
The  reporting  person's  ownership  of Valmont  common stock  existed  prior to
Valmont's  initial public offering.  The number of shares owned by the reporting
person  increased  during 2003 on account of the  acquisition  of shares under a
Valmont  Stock Plan.  The reporting  person hereby amends Item 4 "Ownership"  to
report that as of January 1, 2004, the reporting  person owned 7,115,568  shares
of Valmont  common stock,  which  represented  approximately  29.9% of Valmont's
outstanding  common  stock.  These  shares  were owned by the  reporting  person
through MCT  Investments  Limited  Partnership.  The  ownership of the reporting
person  does not  include  28,000  shares  of  Valmont  common  stock  which the
reporting  person has the right to acquire  through the exercise of  outstanding
stock options. At October 20, 2003, Valmont had outstanding 23,769,996 shares of
common stock.


     By signing  below I certify  that,  to the best of my knowledge and belief,
the  securities  referred  to above  were  acquired  in the  ordinary  course of
business  and were not acquired for the purpose of and do not have the effect of
changing or  influencing  the control of the issuer of such  securities and were
not acquired in connection  with or as a participant in any  transaction  having
such purposes or effect.


                                    SIGNATURE

     After  reasonable  inquiry and to the best of my  knowledge  and belief,  I
certify that the information  set forth in this statement is true,  complete and
correct.
