Item 7.01               Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 21, 2007 the United States District Court for the Central District of Utah entered an order which held that the suit filed by iMergent, Inc. (“Company” ) attempting to declare the Utah Business Opportunity Statute  Unconstitutional as applied to the Company was not “ripe” and should therefore be dismissed.

The Company previously filed the action in response to the State of Utah Division of Consumer Protection (“Division”) administrative proceeding seeking to require the Company to register as a seller of business opportunities. The Company alleged that the action by the Division violates Federal Statutes and raised certain Constitutional issues, including whether the action filed by the Division violates the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution. The District Court did not rule on the merits of the claims filed by the Company, but determined that the case is not “ripe” for review as there has been no determination made by the Division, and the Company has not exhausted its remedies in Utah State court. Consequently, the suit is not considered ripe and was therefore dismissed.  The Company is not restricted from re-filing the action should the matter become “ripe” for review by the Federal Court.

The Company and the Division have a recent agreement which confirms that if there is an adverse ruling by the Division hearing officer (a Division employee), the Division agrees to stay, and not otherwise enforce, the terms of such a ruling until such time as the Company has exhausted all administrative and judicial review. No time limitation has been imposed on the period of judicial review. There is no restriction on the Company continuing to conduct business.

The Company contends that it is not a seller of Business Opportunities, and further that it is not subject to regulation by the Division as the Company does not hold seminars in the State of Utah. The Company further contends that the action by the Division is improper since on November 15, 2003, the Company agreed with the Division that the Company was not required to register as a seller of business opportunities.
