Item 7.01 - Regualtion FD Disclosure.

We are reporting the following based on matters discussed in the August 3, 2007
conference call that we held in conjunction with our release of our second
quarter financial results.

1) We think that prospective participants in our strategic progress have put
   everthing on hold while everyone waits for results in our litigation with
   Riv Acquisition Holdings Inc., which we think will be in a few weeks.

2) We have had no discussions with any potential acquirers of our Company as a
   result of the recent interest rate environment.

The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securites Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed
incorporated by reference in any filing undert the Securities Exchange Act of
1933, except as and when expressly set forth by such specific reference in such
filing.
