<Toon_> PacificAmerica <PAMM.O> says merger talks ended
<Toon_> WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., Oct 12 (Reuters) - PacificAmerica
<Toon_> Money Center Inc. said insurance holding company Fremont
<Toon_> General Corp. had talk of a merger because of the decline in
<Toon_> the securities markets, especially in the subprime lending
<Toon_> industry.
<Toon_> The real estate lending company, however, said it would
<Toon_> still explore a sale of the company and selling or refinancing
<Toon_> of all or a portion of the company's interest-only strips
<Toon_> receivables. It said it might also opt to raise additional
<Toon_> capital at the parent or subsidiary level.
<Toon_> The company noted that turmoil in the subprime lending
<Toon_> industry would make it difficult to known whether it could act
<Toon_> on any of these ideas. It also said that trouble in the
<Toon_> subprime industry increased its risk of financing loans and
<Toon_> existing interest-only strips receivables, and pricing
<Toon_> secondary loan sales.
