H&R Block Moves Quickly, Files 10-Q 

Countering any speculation that its lending business may be facing liquidity problems, H&R Block Inc. (NYSE:HRB) today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Form 10-Q for the fiscal 2007 third quarter ended Jan. 31, 2007, after reporting late yesterday in a separate filing with the SEC that it would delay reporting its financials in order to review its Option One business. Housing Wire reported on the delay earlier this morning, which had led some in the industry to question whether Option One was being bitten by a credit crunch similar to other market competitors.
