September 11,2001 Remembered

 

 

Jack Campion

In reading the 9/11 experiences, I couldn't help thinking about my

wife's day. Some people commented that they had just dropped their

kids off at school. My wife is a fifth grade school teacher.

 

Her day started with a panicked call to me and after about 15 minutes of crying

and very serious conversation, she greeted 32 nine and ten year olds.

She did her usual super job of teaching and holding everything

together.

 

Today I think not only of our wonderful country, but of my

wonderful wife and how lucky Rossmore Elementary and I are to have her.

I was on my way to a Doctors Appointment when a vendor I provide equipment

leases for called me on my cell phone. He said, “They did it! They finally

got the World trade Center!”

 

I sat in the waiting room watching it on the big screen TV. When I came out

of the Doctor's office, I noticed that there were no planes in the sky. For the

next 2 days the skies were so silent!

 

It is amazing that my Mother (her 2 brothers served in World War II) still

talks about the Pearl Harbor surprise attack and how angry everyone was that

the United States was attacked, but it seems that 9-11 (just as horrific) is fading

away so fast!

 

The United States has been attacked by an enemy just as EVIL as the World

War II AXIS Powers, but the effect has not produced the resolve Pearl Harbor did!

Friday---Odds and Ends

 

DVI

 

My contacts at DVI corporate told me that the amount of misappropriations was approximately $80MM. $30MM from the International sector and $50mm

domestic. Another rumor - that DVI double funded deals under the securitizations. Meryll Lynch was too slow to catch on to the business and find these issues.

The big surprise so far - Rich Miller, the President of DVI Financial Services has not been touched. He was aware of all of the problems and was part of the

decisioning. Further, he determined who got funded. How he has escaped prosecution I do not understand. Mr. Miller always accompanied Mr. Garfinkel and

Mr. O'Hanlon during quarterly analysis conference calls - he was part of O'Hanlon's inner core.

With respect to Marlin leasing and for all investors, Piper Jaffray was a regular with DVI and participated in quarterly conference calls. I listened to most of the

calls over the past several years - I never heard Piper asked a hard question. These calls were more like a love feast with DVI. This is another reason why DVI

was able to get away with their deception as long as they did.

( That is what two other insider told us, that it would be between $50 to $75 million, and they would not be surprised if it were higher. We were trying to reach the sales manager

of the medical team, but he seems to have disappeared, either starting his own company

or given a severance package with the stipulation of “non-disclosure.” editor)

Marlin Leasing

 

Your comments about Marlin and securitization may come back to haunt you. It

sounded like you “endorse” this company.

 

( name with held )

 

(Good idea to do a story about securitization today, as many of the companies

who failed went to this market place. I don’t think Marlin will fail, and also

look at Balboa Capital, going strong for many years. Look at Republic Leasing

of South Carolina, before being bought by Netbank, where there business

was exclusively brokers---and their portfolio was super clean. And there is

ICON, Cypress, and ATEL with a different approach. I don’t know, may I allude

to guns. It is not the gun the kills people, but the holder, the mis-use, the

carelessness, that is the culprit. editor )

Joe Bonanno on the California Finance Lender’s Law

 

NAELB Leasing Forum:

 

Members General Discussion: NAELB REGIONAL MEETINGS

 

Hey Folks:

 

Did you really think that a lawyer would have nothing to say about why you need to attend the NAELB California regional meeting in Irvine.

 

There are some very qualified CA attorneys making a presentation about the CA Licensing Requirements that are unique to CA. That is one big reason why people need to attend. With my lawyer's hat on, here's just a couple of thoughts as to why:

Learn about the CA Licensing Laws.

 

If you ever get caught without it, you can be (a) closed by the state, (b) fined by the state and (c) face potential criminal ramifications. Folks choose to live in and do business in CA. CA is a heavily (if not the most heavily) regulated state in the US. Come and learn the reasons for the law, what type of transactions the law applies to so that you can make a fully informed business decision as to whether or not you should obtain the license.

 

Again, if you are required to have it and you don't, you could find yourself selling T-Shirts on Laguna Beach. I guarantee you have to have a license to do that!!!!

 

And bear it mind that the law does not just apply to residents of CA, those transacting business in CA can be subject to the requirement as well.

 

So, take the time and don't miss the NAELB CA Regional. As with all the regional, it will be full of networking and education.

 

And don't forget about the Atlanta Regional Meeting to be held in November.

How to Increase Profit without Raising Price

 

Is Workshop Topic at Leasing Industry Meeting in New Jersey

 

 

TEANECK, N.J., -Shawn Halladay, a veteran consultant and

educator in the global $500 billion equipment leasing and finance

industry, will unveil a new workshop topic that should strike equipment

lessors of all sizes as timely and pertinent: "Enhancing Profitability

without Raising Price."

 

Halladay's presentation is part of Expo XX, a day-long education and

networking program, to be hosted by the Eastern Association of Equipment

Lessors (EAEL) on Monday, September 15, at the Marriott at Glenpointe,

in Teaneck, New Jersey.

A specialist in equipment leasing and finance education since 1985,

Halladay is a principal in The Alta Group and founder of Carpediem

International Learning Services, an international education and training

firm, based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Given the erosion of profit margins facing the leasing industry,

Halladay's workshop should be of special interest to lessors. Halladay

will lead a discussion that will examine the current market environment

and its constraints, drill down to the very definitions of profit, and

establish the best lessor targets for enhancing profitability. Specific

topics include fees, terms and conditions, security deposits,

end-of-term options, lessee evaluation methods, and structuring

techniques.

 

"Leasing companies have already trimmed their expenses as far as they

can, in terms of reducing staff, technology investment, travel, and

training. To squeeze more profit from their business, they will have to

take a closer look at all sources of profit and methods of earning more

on transactions," he said. "They may have to look at adding insurance

programs, enforcing late payment fees, and other ways of ensuring a

stronger bottom line," Halladay says.

The Equipment Leasing Association of America (ELA) reported in its

just-released "Survey of Industry Activity" that profitability

deteriorated during 2002, with pre-tax yields-which include the internal

rate of return on new business, including tax benefits and booked

residuals, net of fees paid to brokers and vendors-at 8.1 percent, down

from 10.2 percent reported in 2001.

 

Halladay often includes the topic of profitable deal structuring in

public and private corporate training programs, and his company offers a

two-day program on lease pricing. But his appearance at Expo XX marks

the first time Halladay has condensed this subject for a 90-minute

workshop.

 

Halladay is also known in the industry as an author of many books and

articles on equipment leasing, including A Guide to Equipment Leasing,

An Introduction to Leasing, and The Handbook of Equipment Leasing. In

addition, Halladay consults extensively for companies large and small on

a broad range of topics. His primary expertise lies mainly in financial

and accounting issues.

 

 

A copy of Halladay's EAEL Expo XX presentation outline will be available

after the event at www.leasequest.com <http://www.leasequest.com/> or

within The Alta Group Web site within"Articles and Presentations,"

www.thealtagroup.com <http://www.thealtagroup.com/> .

 

( Barry Reitman will be covering this conference for Leasing News. )

Equipment Leasing Association Lessor Survey

 

The recently released Survey of Industry Activity 2003 shows us plenty trends. Did you know that 45.8% of all new leases in 2002 were Conditional Sale Agreements/Traditional Loans. The 2003 SIA survey also breaks out the different types of leases by type pf lessor and by ticket size. Also compares the year over year change in the types of leases being offered. The 2003 Survey of Industry Activity is the preeminent resource for financial and statistical data about the $204 billion lease finance business. It is a must-have for lessors interested in comparing their operations and performance to their industry peers, a critical management tool for any business trying to compete in today's challenging leasing environment. The 2003 ELA survey can be purchased today on the ELA store by following this

The Annual Survey of Industry Activity is the most important source of statistical information available on the equipment leasing and finance industry. Data relating to respondent's volume and type of leasing business, productivity measures, residual experience and levels of technology investment are included in the survey. It presents balance sheet data and measures financial ratios and profitability.

 

In addition to the survey report, survey purchasers will have access to the Interactive Survey of Industry Activity (SIA). The Interactive SIA enables companies to benchmark their profitability and portfolio performance and operations against their peers in a secure and confidential environment.

 

When purchasing the survey here in the ELA Store, any ELA Member's User Name and Password will be given instant access to the Interactive SIA.

 

Non ELA Members will be given the opportunity to enter a user name and password to access the Interactive SIA.

 

Before purchasing, please check the List of Respondents to verify whether your company participated in the Survey of Industry Activity. Respondents get FREE access to the iSIA and a FREE copy of the Survey report.

This Day in American History

    1771 Pioneer Methodist bishop Francis Asbury, 26, on his maiden voyage to America, wrote in his journal: 'Whither am I going? To the New World. What to do? To gain honor? No, if I know my own heart. To get money? No, I am going to live to God, and to bring others to do so.'
    1776 -Nathan Hale leaves Harlem Heights Camp (127th St) in New York City for spy mission When Washington asked his troops who would volunteer to go

into enemy camp, only one person stepped forward: Nathan Hale.

    1777-The founding of the first Mission Santa Clara de Assis by Padre Thomas Peña, under the direction of Padre Junípero Serra. The first two were built too close to the Guadalupe River,

which over flooded, the third was destroyed by an earthquake and the fourth site is now

part of the University of Santa Clara. In 1851, during the height of the Gold Rush era, the Mission Santa Clara was given to the Jesuits who incorporated it into the University of Santa Clara. Rebuilt in 1779 and 1781, and restored after a flood in 1784, an earthquake in 1818, and a fire in 1926, the tower of Santa Clara still contains an original bell brought to that mission from Spain.

The second site is a block form my office on a very busy highway on the corner of the San Jose International Airport. I often eat my lunch here, as I find it “peaceful” despite the noise. I have been

to weddings and funerals at the existing mission, which holds quite a mystique as it is told

Indians. The missionaries severely punished Indians who did not conform to the Spanish

culture. It is said the Indians were afraid of the Padre, who planted grapes, made wine

and beer, and lived off the work of the Indians as donations to the church.

    1808- The Holy Bible was translated into English by Charles Thomson and printed in Philadelphia, PA by Jane Aitken. “The Holy Bible, containing the old and new covenant, commonly called the Old and New Testament; translated from the Greek.” It was copyrighted in the District of Pennsylvania by the translator, Charles Thomson, who had been secretary to the Continental Congress.

    1814- Battle of North Point fought near Baltimore during War of 1812 9,000 troops British troops land at North Point . They had taken Washington, DC,

and wanted to also burn Baltimore, which they called “the nest of pirates”.

Fort McHenry stood in their way. Major General Robert Ross, riding ahead

of his troops with his personal platoon, thinking this was a “walk in the park,” rode right into General John Stricker, 3,200 men, was only two miles away with his six cannon in place across Long log Lane (North Point Road) waiting for the British, who unlike the Capital, knew they were coming and were prepared to fight. Shots were fired by both sides. Two Americans, Dan Wells and Henry McComas, were instantly killed. They are credited with shooting General Ross. He was 48 years old. (The spot where Ross was shot is marked today by a monument erected to honor Aquilla Randall as the first American killed in the battle. It’s still there today, at Old North Point Road near Battle Grove Road.)

The death of General Ross was a devastating blow to the British. The also had lost their surprise. Although they outnumbered the Americans, the battle went against them and they retreated. After resting, they turned direction and ran into over 10,000 men and over 60 cannon behind well-made breastworks, ready and waiting to repel any attack. After two short rallies, they took to retreat again. The British were unable to take Fort McHenry ( Francis Scott Key wrote the “Star Spangled Banner.”)

    1829-Birthday of Charles Dudly Warner, who should be best remembered for his editorial in the Hartord Courant, Aug 24, 1897 “ Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody dues anything about it.” This American newsman was a good friend of Mark Twain, who is often mistakenly attributed for the “saying.” Died at Hartford, CT. Oct. 20,1900.

    1843- the first minstrel troupe in New York City was formed by Daniel Decatur “Dan” Emmett, who later wrote the song “Dixie.” His quartet of blackface singers and musicians played in several Bowery theaters and established many of the basic routines followed by later minstrel shows.

    1851- Birth of Francis E. Clark, American Congregationalist clergyman. In 1881, at age 29, Clark organized the world's first church "youth fellowship" in Portland, Maine. Clark's original name for this Christian group concept was "The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor."

1866- the first burlesque show was opened at Niblo’s Garden, New York City. The musical show was produced by Barras and William Wheatley and featured 100 scantily clad young women playing a troupe of dancing fairies. It ran for an unprecedented 16 months, closing on January 4, 1868, after playing 475 performances and grossing $1.3 million. It was in four acts and titled “The Black Crook.”

    1880- birthday of H.L.Mencken. American newspaperman, lexicographer and critic, “the Sage of

Baltimore” was born at Baltimore, MD, and died there Jan 29, 1956. “If, after I depart this vale,” he wrote in 1921 (Epitaph, Smart Set), “you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl..” My mother told me sat on his

lap when I was very little, and quite the contrary, he was a very likeable person.

    1889-American aeronaut of French extraction, born in New York, NY, about 1857, achieved world fame as a parachutist. After his first public performance ( Philadelphia, PA,1887), he toured European cities where his parachute jumps attracted wide attention. Credited with 238 successful jumps. He was last seen this day as he jumped from a balloon over Tallinn, Estonia, and perished in the Bay of Reval.

    1913- James Cleveland (Jesse) Owens, American athlete, winner of four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games at Berlin, Germany, was born at Oakville, AL. Owens set 11 world records in track and field. During one track meet, at Ann Arbor, Ml, Owens, repre­senting Ohio State University, broke five world records May 23, 1935, and tied a sixth in the space of 45 minutes. Died at Tuc­son, AZ, Mar 31, 1980.

    1916-Birthday of trumpet player Cat Anderson http://www.northbysouth.org/1998/music/cat/cat.htm

    1928 - Actress Katharine Hepburn made her stage debut. The play was titled "The Czarina". It would be four years before the ‘First Lady of the American Screen’ would indeed, make her first film, "A Bill of Divorcement".

    1920-Birthday of jazz pianist James “Lucky” Carmichael, Harrodsburg, KY.

    1954- “Lassie” premiered on TV. This long-running series was originally about a boy and his courageous and intelligent dog, Lassie. Although he would often say, “Come here, girl,” Lassie

was played by more than six different dogs through the series, all male). For the first few seasons, Lassie lived on the Miller farm. The family included Jeff (Tommy Rettig), his wid­owed mother Ellen (Jan Clayton) and George Cleveland as Gramps. Throughout the years there were many format and cast changes, as Lassie was exchanged from one family to another in order to have a variety of new perils and escapades. Other fea­tured performers included Cloris Leachman, June Lockhart and Larry Wilcox.

The show was last seen September 12, 1971.

    1963-“Leave It to Beaver,” which had debuted in 1957, airs its last episode. The typical 1950s "wholesome family" comedy presented the lives of the Cleaver family from the perspective of seven-year-old Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver. The clan included parents June and Ward, and older brother Wally. The show enjoyed much popularity in reruns and a revival in the 1980s as The New Leave It to Beaver.

    1966- “The Monkees” premiered on TV.. Based on a rock and roll group that was supposed to be an American version of the Beatles, this half-hour show featured a blend of comedy and music. Some 400 aspiring actors had auditioned for the Columbia television series by producer Don Kirschner. Davy Jones, a former English horse racing jockey; Michael Nesmith, a session guitarist; Peter Tork of the Phoenix Singers; and Micky Dolenz, who had appeared in the TV series "Circus Boy" were picked to be America’s answer to The Beatles. The four were picked to become the fabricated music group -- not because they could sing, act or play musical instruments -- but because they looked the parts. Dolenz and Jones were actors, Tork and Nesmith had some musical experience. The Monkees were the first, made-for-TV, rock group. Ironically -- or maybe not -- "The Monkees" TV show won an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series of 1967. Their first songs on the show were lip-synched but were immensely popular; later the Monkees insisted on writing and performing their own music. A Monkees album, Headquarters, and Monkees tours were very successful. In 1986, the Monkees, except for Nesmith, were reunited for a 20th Anniversary tour and the show was broadcast in reruns on MTV. The Monkees sans Nesmith also toured in 1996 for the 30th reunion celebration

    1974-In Boston, Massachusetts, opposition to court-ordered school "busing" turns violent on the opening day of classes. School buses carrying African American children were pelted with eggs, bricks, and bottles, and police in combat gear fought to control angry white protesters besieging the schools. U.S. District Judge Arthur Garrity ordered the busing of African American students to predominantly white schools and white students to black schools in an effort to integrate Boston's geographically segregated public schools. In his June 1974 ruling in Morgan v. Hennigan, Garrity stated that Boston's de facto school segregation discriminated against black children. The beginning of forced busing on September 12 was met with massive protests, particularly in South Boston, the city's main Irish- Catholic neighborhood. Protests continued unabated for months, and many parents, white and black, kept their children at home. In October, the National Guard was mobilized to enforce the federal desegregation order.

    1992- the first African-American woman to fly in space was Dr. Mae Carol Jemison, a physician who also held degrees in chemical engineering and African-American studies.

She performed experiments on space motion sickness and bone cell loss in the space environment. Ironically, on the same flight were the first husband and wife to fly in space together, Mission Specialist N. Jan Davis, an engineer, and Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Mark C. Lee, who served as crew members. Although NASA has a rule forbidding married couples to take part in the same mission, the rule was waived for Davis and Lee because they had no children and both and trained as astronauts for several years before they were married.
