Security Financial to Close San Jose Office, Get out of Leasing Business

Security Financial---This company ended their application business in March, 1998. Ken Studer, veteran of Atlantic Financial, among many other companies, took early retirement, and is about to move to his ten acre ranch in Turlock. Len Sampaio, in the business 35 years, the last 27 with Security, is going to take early retirement and the San Jose office will close. Most of their recent business has been either real estate loans or leases secured with real estate. Security Financial will continue in the real estate loan business from their main office in San Francisco.

Hearing all kinds of "rumors" from brokers regarding vendors not being paid, while funding source processed the lease, and lessee is making payments to lessor. Some of these companies "cannot" file bankruptcy due to possible fraud, such may the case with Metrolease, among others. These are not just civil matters, but may include Federal law, such as not returning advance rental payments. The Department of Justice is getting very active in this because of all the complaints they have been receiving.

We reported the action yesterday of what is happening with PinnFund and PinnLeasing. Here is the story that appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune:

PinnFund's assets frozen by court here

By Mike Freeman

STAFF WRITER

San Diego Union-Tribune

A federal judge in San Diego froze the assets of Carlsbad's PinnFund USA and its chief executive, Michael J. Fanghella, accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission of an eight-year fraud scheme that raised $276 million and provided $10 million to Fanghella's former girlfriend.

U.S. District Judge Marilyn Huff ordered the freeze, along with other steps to prevent hiding funds, after the surprise withdrawal of the lawyer representing both PinnFund and Fanghella. The judge also named former U.S. Attorney Charles La Bella as receiver to oversee PinnFund, a sub-prime mortgage lender, until the extent of the alleged fraud can be determined. La Bella led a U.S. Justice Department probe of 1996 Clinton-Gore fund-raising practices. Meanwhile, stunned PinnFund employees cleaned out their desks and hugged each other in the parking lot of the company's headquarters yesterday morning. PinnFund employed about 200 workers locally and operated about 60 offices in 28 states. "The only thing we were told is nobody knows what's going to happen and there's no pay," said a PinnFund employee who wished to remain unnamed. "This is a good place to work. PinnFund had a good reputation with (mortgage) brokers. It's just unfortunate that other side happened." On Wednesday, the SEC filed civic fraud litigation against PinnFund; Fanghella; Oakland lawyer James L. Hillman; a company Hillman controls, Peregrine Funding Inc.; and other companies controlled by Hillman.

According to the SEC, Hillman's companies raised money provided to PinnFund and Fanghella. Investors were promised 17 percent returns. Regulators allege a host of violations, including selling unregistered securities and altering financial reports. At least 166 investors are involved. Bogus reports conceal $95 million in losses by PinnFund and the transfer of $107 million to Fanghella since 1997, the SEC contends. According to regulators, Fanghella spent nearly $10 million on gifts for his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Cook, a former porn star who worked under the name Kelly Jaye. Gifts included at $5.2 million house in Laguna Niguel, cash, jewelry and a piano.

Although Cook isn't accused of wrongdoing, the SEC wants the gifts returned. Yesterday, the judge forbid Cook from taking out loans against the house, and from using money obtained by Fanghella for anything besides reasonable living expenses. Cook's lawyer told Bloomberg News that she is entitled to keep the house and other gifts from Fanghella. PinnFund and Fanghella were represented by Los Angeles lawyer Irving Einhorn. He withdrew during a morning conference call, citing conflict of interest. Einhorn appeared to win a victory in court hearings. He convinced Judge Huff that remedies sought by the SEC, such as appointing a receiver and freezing PinnFund's assets, were too severe and would harm PinnFund's business. The judge said she would lift a temporary asset freeze and would appoint a "special master" to investigate PinnFund's business. Afterward, Einhorn said he drove to PinnFund headquarters and met with managers for about 90 minutes. "We discussed what happened, and new information came to light," said Einhorn, who was retained about 10 days ago. "Based on that information, we all agreed that the company had no objections" to the SEC proposed remedies.

Huff also ordered Peregrine Funding, Allied Capital Partners, Grafton Partners and Six Sigma LLC to cease fraudulent activities.

Another business, an equipment leasing firm called PinnLease USA, is located at the same address as PinnFund. The relationship between the two remains unclear. PinnLease's Web site lists PinnFund as the copyright holder on some of its pages. No one answered calls to PinnLease's toll-free phone number yesterday.

------------

On Friday, we printed the web sites of PinnLease USA. We are told from brokers that millions of dollars of leases will not get funded, and approvals will not be honored.

"ICB Leasing's Saint Patrick's Day Parade Open House was spectacular. We had over 50 attendees who viewed the parade from our 4th floor offices overlooking 5th Avenue.

"The parade lasted over three hours and due to the very cold weather, most of our guests went down to street level then popped back up for lunch and a green beer. The corned beef was plentiful and the home made soda bread was special. We plan on making this a yearly event open to our customers, lessors and their families!"

(Yes, will be at the UAEL Conference in May at Dana Point to give Paul Menzel, CLP, the Leasing News Award for Leasing Person for the Year 2005. See you then. Kit Menkin.)

"We have no connection to NorVergence, but I have been following the coverage of this fascinating case from the sidelines via Leasing News.

"It always amazes me that people create these incredibly brazen fraud schemes with (apparently) no expectation of getting caught, which seems to be the utterly inevitable outcome. I mean "the black boxes" were virtually worthless and apparently didn't do "anything" they were promised to do. What else could have happened besides an eventual implosion? The similarly brazen greed of the household-name funding sources that piled onto "the gravy train" to fund these deals under the most dubious business assumptions is even more shocking.

"What I am curious about is what "effects" are going to be felt from this debacle. I wonder how the involved and uninvolved funding sources are going to deal with this, what changes in procedures and due diligence are likely to occur and what lessons the funding sources feel they have learned--and how those lessons are likely to impact the broker community? Also, have the heads started to roll yet in "the blame game?"

"I think this would be an interesting "aspect" of your story coverage."

Alta Group Conference to Examine Dilemma faced by Lessors

LAKE TAHOE, Nev., To convert or not to convert? That is the question many lessors and asset finance providers are asking themselves these days, as they evaluate their business technology platforms.

Is it worth the significant commitment in time and money to migrate to one of the new accounting applications available, or does it make more sense to continue with legacy systems?

This dilemma will be explored in-depth at The Alta Group's Creating IT Solutions in Leasing conference at the Chicago Marriott Oakbrook, April 19-21, 2006. Persons interested in attending the event can register by calling 801-322-4499.

"There are technology platforms available in North America now, all of which offer features that claim to help lessors operate more efficiently and grow profits," said Shawn Halladay, Alta Group principal and event moderator. "We've invited representatives from select lease accounting software companies to present the pros and cons of these applications and present their products' real functionality using actual lease transactions and business requirements. We promise substance in their demonstrations and no fluff."

In addition to Halladay, scheduled speakers at this year's conference include Dr. Pat Preston of Harvard University, who will discuss how information technology systems can actually deliver real business value; Andrew Denton, CHP Consulting; John McCue, McCue Systems; like-kind exchange experts at PriceWaterhouseCoopers; consultants from Tata Consultancy Services; Mark Belec, Bearing Point and Tom Matlon, a recognized leasing systems consultant.

The keynote, panel and concurrent sessions are designed for senior personnel with responsibility for implementing, managing and maximizing the value of their companies' information systems and processes. These include COOs, CFOs, CIOs, IT managers, portfolio/equipment managers, conversion specialists, auditors and quality teams.

To make the conference as valuable as possible, separate learning tracks address issues pertaining to information technology conversion and portfolio management concerns.

"We recognize everyone has their own business requirements," Halladay said. "The ultimate goal for this event is to provide an open review of the applications and how they interact with others to help attendees determine their back-end system strategies."

This year's event includes discussions on the following topics:

. A real look at the benefits and challenges of a legacy system, new application or ASP.

. How the new technology platforms available help solve actual business issues faced by lessors and asset finance companies.

. Challenges of migrating from legacy systems to new applications.

. How the new applications handle actual lease examples, including asset splits, buyouts and residual impairments.

. Business issues and systems challenges of securitizations, subsidies and guarantees.

. Approaches to increasing revenue within the existing portfolio.

. Best practices for residual reviews under Sarbanes-Oxley.

. Managing and forecasting equipment revenue.

License Requirements by State Up-Date

One of the many reasons to belong to the Equipment Leasing Association is their excellent legal library and reference materials that are kept up to date and free to members. It pertains to the leasing industry from "evergreen clauses," "attorney fee reimbursements," "late charges," "usury laws," and many items of interest to all those involved in vehicle and equipment leasing (and finance.)

Since it is for "members only," Leasing News respects this privilege. In developing "License Requirements by State" for our readers, we have been relying on our readers! One of the developments in creating the "Broker/Lessor" list is to obtain a copy of the state license when a reader completes the form requested (that is when they are licensed---unfortunately many are not, including those who do business in California.)

As many of the disclaimers state, Leasing News is stating that its information is not complete nor meant to give legal advice, and any such advice should come from an attorney who specializes in equipment law in the state you seek legal information. We make no guarantees, but strongly recommend your company be licensed, if so stated on the Leasing News "Lease/Loan Statutes.

The latest we add to the list is Ohio :

Ohio: Department of Commerce, Division of Financial Institutions

(Certificate to engage in the business of a credit services organization in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4712.01 to 4712.14 of the revised code of Ohio, subject to all the provisions thereof and to the regulations of the division.) Ohio Department of Taxation requires a "Vendor's License" under provision 5739.17 of the Revised Code (...is hereby authorized to sell tangible personal property and selected services at the retail location specified below.) This also makes the lessor responsible for all taxes with penalties for not doing so.

This Day in American History

    1792-the first Congressional investigation was authorized after troops under the command of Major General Arthur St. Clair were defeated by Native American forces near the Ohio-Indiana border on November 4, 1791. The House of Representatives, by a vote of 44-10, resolved " that a committee be appointed to inquire into the causes of the failure of the late expedition under Major General St. Clair; and that the said committee be empowered to call for such persons, papers and records as may be necessary to assist their inquiries. " the seven member committee, which was headed by Thomas Fitzsimons, a federalist of Pennsylvania, absolved St. Clair and ruled that his defeat " can in no respect be imputed to his conduct either at any time before or during the action." St. Clair nonetheless resigned his army command, retaining his post as governor of the Northwest Territory.
    1836- The Mormon Temple built in Kirtland, Ohio by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (or Mormon Church) was dedicated. He had moved to Ohio with 50 families.

Hill, composed the melody for the song which was first published in 1893 as a classroom greeting in the book Song Stories for the Sunday School.

Hammett frustrated the committee with these ambiguous words,
"If I were fighting Communism, I don't think I would do it by giving people any books at all."

Spring Poem

SPRING IS HERE

Winter is gone, just look around and see;
The snow is turning into slush,

Joining the singing river going down to the sea,
And over all there is a mysterious hush.
The soft warm winds are whispering,
"The bride in all her finery will soon be here!"
The bride (we call her Spring) - she's frolicking
Over the landscape, without fear.

She laughs at the trees' bare limbs
Till they tremble and call forth their leaves
To make a dress so green and trim,
Then joyfully they sway with the breeze.

The flowers sleeping beneath the ground
Awake and send up their blossoms to hear,
Then coquettishly join with the singing birds all around,
Acclaiming, "Spring is here, Spring is here!"
