Item 8.01. Other Events

As of September 11, 2007, William P. Angrick, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jaime Mateus-Tique, President and Chief Operating Officer and Benjamin R. Brown, Chairman, Technology Advisory Committee and Chief Technology Officer, Government Liquidation, LLC have each entered into a written sales plan pursuant to the guidance specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each sales plan is designed to provide enhanced asset diversification and liquidity and is a component of each individual’s overall tax and financial planning strategy.

Under each individual’s sales plan, a broker-dealer is authorized to sell up to a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of such individual’s sales plan, including minimum sale price thresholds, unless the plan is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms.  For Messrs. Angrick’s and Mateus-Tique’s sales plans, the minimum sale price thresholds are significantly above the current market price of the Company’s Shares.

Mr. Angrick’s sales plan calls for the sale of up to 600,000 Shares or approximately 7% of the Shares he beneficially owns (excluding options exercisable within 60 days).  If the sale of all of the Shares proposed to be sold under his plan is completed, Mr. Angrick would continue to beneficially own approximately 7.8 million Shares (excluding options exercisable within 60 days).  Under Mr. Angrick’s plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be sold in a single trading day is 10,000 Shares.

Mr. Mateus-Tique’s plan calls for the sale of up to 617,311 Shares or approximately 17% of his Shares (excluding options exercisable within 60 days and excluding sales that may be made pursuant to Mr. Mateus-Tique’s other sales plan previously announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K, dated December 18, 2006). If the sale of all of the Shares proposed to be sold under his plan is completed, Mr. Mateus-Tique would continue to beneficially own approximately 3.1 million Shares (excluding options exercisable within 60 days and excluding sales that may be made pursuant to Mr. Mateus-Tique’s other sales plan previously announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K, dated December 18, 2006). Under Mr. Mateus-Tique’s plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be sold in a single trading day is equal to the lesser of (i) 8% of the prior days’ trading volume of Shares and (ii) 25,000 Shares.

Mr. Brown’s plan calls for the sale of up to 300,000 shares or approximately 50% of his Shares (excluding options exercisable within 60 days). If the sale of all of the Shares proposed to be sold under his plan is completed, Mr. Brown would continue to beneficially own approximately 297,000 Shares (excluding options exercisable within 60 days). Under Mr. Brown’s plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be sold in a single trading day is 25,000 Shares.

Each plan has been approved pursuant to the terms of the Company’s policies.  All sales under these sales plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other Company executives may from time to time adopt 10b5-1 plans.
