Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On July 16, 2008, a counterparty declared an event of default to have occurred in respect of alleged failures by the Company and its affiliates to transfer eligible collateral to fulfill its obligations under an ISDA master agreement substantially in the form of the 1992 version of that agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association. As a result, the counterparty exercised its right to terminate the ISDA master agreement in respect to all outstanding transactions. On August 1, 2008, the Company received a notice from the counterparty demanding payment of $1.3 million plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the early termination in respect to all outstanding transactions.





Item 8.01 Other Events.

We previously announced that Luminent LLC, an affiliate, filed a Form S-4 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 10, 2008, with respect to a proposed conversion to a publicly traded partnership.

Luminent LLC's Form S-4 registration statement contains a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus relating to our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders and other relevant documents in connection with the proposed restructuring. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to our stockholders when it becomes available. OUR STOCKHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THOSE DOCUMENTS, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

The proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials, when they become available, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, investors and stockholders may obtain free copies of the documents by contacting Karen Chang, Luminent Mortgage Capital, Inc., 1515 Market Street, Suite 2000, Philadelphia, PA 19102; telephone: (215) 564-5900.

We and our directors, executive officers and other members of our management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders in connection with the proposed merger. Information concerning such participants' ownership of our common stock will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus when it becomes available. This communication does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
