Item
7.01 Regulation
FD Disclosure
On
August
10, 2007, Collectors Universe, Inc. issued a press release announcing that,
pursuant to its previously adopted dividend policy, the Board of Directors
has
declared the Company’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common
stock for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The cash dividend will be paid
on
September 7, 2007 to stockholders of record on August 24, 2007.
As
stated
in the press release, the Board of Directors’ dividend policy provides for the
payment of an expected total annual cash dividend of $1.00 per common share,
payable in the amount of $0.25 per share per quarter. The
declaration
of future cash dividends, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, is subject
to final determination each quarter by the Board of Directors based on a number
of factors, including the Company's financial performance and its available
cash
resources, its cash requirements and alternative uses of cash that the Board
may
conclude would represent an opportunity to generate a greater return on
investment for the Company. For these reasons, as well as others, there can
be
no assurance that dividends in the future will be equal or similar in amount
to
the amounts described in this press release or that the Board of Directors
will
not decide to suspend or discontinue the payment of cash dividends in the
future.
In
accordance with General Instruction B. 2 of Form 8-K, the information in this
Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being furnished and shall
not
be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section,
nor
shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
