ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On August 8, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing that it received gross proceeds in the amount of $16.8 million on the sale of its residual position in its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, Svensk Pantbelåning. The Company sold Svensk Pantbelåning in September 2004 for cash and two subordinated notes receivable. One of the notes receivable was convertible into approximately 27.7% of the parent company of Svensk Pantbelåning on a fully-diluted basis. Svensk Pantbelåning was sold to a third party in early August. The $16.8 million received in the transaction represented payment of principal and interest owed on the notes receivable and the proceeds on the sale of the Company’s ownership rights under the convertible note. The Company also announced that it will use these proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the opportunity to repurchase Company shares on the open market.
