Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 19, 2007, Progress Energy (NYSE:PGN), the purchaser of REX Stores
Corporation's partnership interest in the Colona synthetic fuel investments,
announced that it had idled production at its majority owned synthetic fuel
facilities as higher oil prices have increased the likelihood that Section
29/45K tax credits would be reduced or phased out in 2007. Production of
synthetic fuel was expected to cease at the end of 2007 as the Section 29/45K
tax credits cannot be earned from production occurring after December 31, 2007.
Reflecting this announcement, the Company does not expect future income from
the sale of its Colona synthetic fuel interests. This could change, should
production resume at the idled facilities.

At the end of the second quarter, the Company estimated the phase out of income
from synthetic fuel sales to be 25%. Based upon the recent price of oil, the
Company expects the phase out of income from synthetic fuel sales to increase.
