ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On August 16, 2006, Collectors Universe, Inc. issued a press release
announcing that its Board of Directors had, pursuant to its previously announced
dividend policy, declared the Company's regular quarterly cash dividend in the
amount of $0.08 per common share for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, ending
September 30, 2006. The dividend will be paid on September 12, 2006 to
stockholders of record on August 29, 2006. A copy of that press release is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to, and by this reference is incorporated into, this
Current Report on Form 8-K.
As stated in its press release, the declaration of cash dividends in
the future, pursuant to the Company's dividend policy, is subject to
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. Also, it could become necessary for the Company to obtain the consent
of its lender under its bank loan agreement in order to pay cash dividends in
the future and for these reasons, as well as others, there can be no assurance
that that the Board of Directors will not decide to reduce the amount, or
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.
