Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Effective February 1, 2006, the Company’s credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) for its trading operations was increased from $62,500,000 to $67,500,000.. The facility provides credit to the Company’s subsidiary, A-Mark Precious Metals (“A-Mark”). Under the facility, four lending institutions provide credit to A-Mark on an individual basis, but participate jointly through a Collateral Agency Agreement, which is administered by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., as collateral agent. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest based on London Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin. Borrowings are secured by A-Mark’s receivables and inventories and are repayable on demand. The documents reflecting the increase in the amount of the credit line did not effect a change in any of the other terms and conditions of the Credit Facility.
