Item 8.01 Other Events

         As reported in Leucadia National Corporation's (the "Company") Form
10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, in June 2007, the Company completed
the acquisition of ResortQuest International, Inc. ("ResortQuest Mainland").
ResortQuest Mainland is engaged in offering management services to vacation
properties in beach and mountain resort locations in the continental U.S. and
Canada, as well as in real estate brokerage services and other rental and
property owner services. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement,
the purchase price paid for ResortQuest Mainland is subject to adjustment to
reflect net working capital (as defined in the agreement) at closing, and
consisted of cash and an $8,000,000 10% four-year promissory note of a
subsidiary of the Company. Including estimated expenses of $1,200,000 and
estimated net working capital adjustments, for accounting purposes, the
aggregate purchase price is $15,000,000.

         Set forth below under item 9.01 is certain unaudited pro forma
financial information for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 with respect
to the Company's acquisition of ResortQuest Mainland.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibit.

Certain Pro Forma Financial Information

         The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is presented to reflect the
acquisition of ResortQuest Mainland (the "Acquisition") as if it had occurred on
January 1, 2006. Certain of the pro forma adjustments reflect a preliminary
allocation of the purchase price and necessarily involve certain estimates. The
Company has not finalized its allocation of the purchase price. When finalized,
any changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation could result in changes
to property and equipment, intangible assets and/or goodwill; any such changes
are not expected to be material to the Company.

         The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2006 and
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007, and the
historical combined financial statements and notes thereto of ResortQuest
Mainland, which were previously filed by the Company on Form 8-K/A dated June
15, 2007. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement is presented
for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of actual
results had the acquisition of ResortQuest Mainland occurred as described in the
preceding paragraph, nor does it purport to represent results of future
operations.

         The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations is
included herein as Exhibit 99.1.
