Kissler on His Own—---

 

Brad Kissler has left his position as Vice-President Sales, Balboa Capital, a position he has held for almost four years, to form Strade Capital Corporation in Irvine, California

 

 

 

September,2002  biography  from Leasing News Archives:

 

“I entered the leasing industry in March 1994 with Balboa Capital

Corporation, having graduated from Cal State, Fullerton with a BA in

Communications.  After establishing myself as an Account Executive and taking Salesperson of the Year twice, I was granted the opportunity to transition into management.

 

 

“My first assignment in this new role was to take the helm at our Phoenix office, at that time our lowest producing branch.  By the end of the first year, Arizona was at 100% of quota.  After the second it was Balboa's highest producing sales office, resulting in two consecutive Manager of the Year titles.

 

 

“My career continued on this path with opportunities to head in turn the San Francisco and New York offices, each of which experienced a spike in production.  The culmination of my management career has been my current tenure as Balboa's Vice President, Sales, a position I have held for the past two years.”

Orix Financial---Employees Will Not Forget

 

“One last message before I ride off into the sunset as my time at Orix ends on Friday.  I have gotten a new job. 

 

“It seems that Jim Thompson was in Kennesaw a couple of months ago right around the time of Ash Wednesday.  One of the employees in the RPG group who was Catholic came to work with Ash on his forehead on this day.  Mr. Thompson felt compelled to say something to Gary Corr about this employee coming to work "dressed inappropriately".  The employee was summoned to HR and warned.  A few days later the employee quit and has since filed a multi-million dollar discrimination lawsuit. 

 

“Also, I hear that in an effort to continue to reduce costs, the Kennesaw staff is toying with the idea of ending coffee service to the employees.  If employees want coffee they can go to the vending machines.

 

“Finally the decision has been made to close the Chicago office and transition the functions of the ABL group to Dallas.  When the head of Dallas HR came to make the announcement one of the Chicago employees became so disgusted with the way they were being treated that he put a banana in the tailpipe of her rental car.

 

“Thank you for providing a forum for the employees of a good company a place to voice their opinions on the terrible way they have been treated.”

 

 

 

 ( Name With held )

 

(Leasing News has tried to verify, or have these reports denied,

but no one at Orix in management or in the public relations

department has ever returned any of our telephone calls

or e-mails. Editor )

Lease Equipment Mob Allegations Threaten Ill. Casino Plan

 

“Internal Gaming Board documents released to the media show that Stephens, Nick Boscarino and members of the family of the late Chicago mob boss William "Willie Potatoes" Daddano were all investors in a company that leases equipment at trade shows.

 

“Stephens insisted he washed his hands of any association with Nick Boscarino once he found out about the criminal charges, which were unrelated to the equipment- leasing company.”

Bulletin Board Weekly Report Criticism

 

”We had a long discussion about you during the last NAELB conference... probably 15 owners over some drinks... Why do you withhold or "protect" some brokers and expose others? The last company I recall who was plastered all over your "newsletter" was Bridge Capital.... why is Bridge Capital's name posted and the broker on the most recent complaint not posted? Are they "buddies" of Leasing News? Do they have friends on your advisory board? If you're going to play this game, play it fairly or don't play it at all. If this broker had 6 complaints, there is obviously a pattern here. Why are you protecting them? Did they post a job and advertise on Leasing News and pay you personally?”

 

   Anonymous

 

(Scotch, Cabernet, or rum, sometimes makes a difference in your thinking.  How in the world would you ever get the impression we were playing favorites?   The person you are talking about already is posted on our Bulletin Board. We have named him.  And he is still active

with NAELB ( confirmed.)  He is one of your “good” members. If he doesn’t return the money, you will see his name again, and there is a lot more to the story.

 

(Our goal is to act as an ombudsman, meaning to settle “disagreements”--- if you will. We give up many good stories, and naming people who you know. Those are the rules. We have named two good friends of Leasing News ( former now ) on the Complaint Bulletin Board.  Both were a personal heart breaker for me. Their

friendship was lost by Leasing News publishing the complaint.

 

 

( We are the only venue where consumers, applicants, vendors, and sometimes attorneys, get relatively immediate help.  If the parties resolve their differences, there is no complaint. 

 

(We don’t play favorites, and if you are a regular reader, you know several advisors resigned because they did not like us posting a complaint about our “friend.” And if you think an advertiser controls us, look at what we wrote about Balboa Capital.

 

(We are independent, fair, and accurate--- and will remain so, no matter what the bar talk is.

 

(And by the way, you have no guts to say what you have and not sign your name. Editor)

Comdisco Announces Prepayment of Remaining Amounts Due from the Sale of Its German Leasing Subsidiary

 

 

ROSEMONT, Ill.----Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. (OTC:CDCO) announced the discounted prepayment by Comprendium Investments S. A. of the remaining payments due from the sale of Comdisco's German leasing subsidiary. Comdisco received 30.5 million euros in lieu of four payments of 9.5 million euros each, scheduled for payment in April 2004, April 2005, May 2006 and December 2006. The scheduled payments would have been subject to reduction if certain customers exercised contractual termination provisions. The prepaid amount has been converted into $36.7 million and repatriated to the U.S. Comdisco expects to take a charge of approximately $2 million in its second fiscal quarter to reflect the difference between the prepaid amount and the carrying value of the four scheduled payments. 

 

   About Comdisco  

 

   Comdisco emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on August 12, 2002. The purpose of reorganized Comdisco is to sell, collect or otherwise reduce to money in an orderly manner the remaining assets of the corporation. Pursuant to Comdisco's plan of reorganization and restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, Comdisco is specifically prohibited from engaging in any business activities inconsistent with its limited business purpose. Accordingly, within the next few years, it is anticipated that Comdisco will have reduced all of its assets to cash and made distributions of all available cash to holders of its common stock and contingent distribution rights in the manner and priorities set forth in the Plan. At that point, the company will cease operations and no further distributions will be made.

AmSouth Reports Record First Quarter Earnings of $160.1 Million or $.45 Per Share

 

 

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--( --AmSouth Bancorporation (NYSE:ASO) today reported earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004, of $.45 per diluted share compared to $.44 per diluted share reported for the first quarter of 2003. Net income for the first quarter of 2004 was a record $160.1 million versus $155.4 million for the same period in 2003.

 

   AmSouth's first quarter performance resulted in a return on average equity of 19.8 percent, a return on average assets of 1.40 percent and an efficiency ratio of 54.6 percent.

 

   "Solid growth in loans and deposits, continued improvement in credit quality and growth in core categories of noninterest revenues were key contributors to the quarter's results," said Dowd Ritter, AmSouth's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We are confident that as the economy improves, our continued focus on growth and expansion in some of the best markets in the country will serve us well and further enhance our performance."

 

   Net interest income was $359.5 million in the first quarter, higher compared with the previous quarter, and the net interest margin was 3.56 percent.

 

   Average loans for the quarter grew by $1.9 billion, a 6.7 percent increase over the same quarter in 2003. Average deposits were higher by $3.3 billion, or 12.1 percent during the same period, including a 10.9 percent increase in average low-cost deposits.

 

   Noninterest revenue, which includes earnings from service charges, trust, investment management services, securities gains and other sources of fee income, was $220.4 million for the quarter, an increase of $27.5 million, or 14.3 percent, compared with the same quarter in 2003. Service charges increased 23.4 percent compared with the first quarter of 2003, trust income grew 11.0 percent over the same period, and investment service income rose 25.1 percent compared with the previous year. Noninterest expenses in the first quarter were $322.3 million, up 11.3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2003 and reflected higher personnel related costs and continuing investments in branch expansion and other revenue producing initiatives.

 

   Net charge-offs were .38 percent of average net loans in the first quarter, improving 22 basis points from .60 percent in the fourth quarter of 2003, marking the lowest level of charge-offs since the second quarter of 2000. The ratio of loan loss reserves to total loans was 1.28 percent at March 31, 2004, and continued to reflect improvement in credit quality trends and a shift in the loan portfolio mix to include a greater proportion of residential mortgages.

 

   Nonperforming assets continued to decline during the first quarter. Total nonperforming assets at March 31, 2004, were $135.9 million, or .45 percent of loans net of unearned income, foreclosed properties and repossessions, compared to $147.8 million, or .50 percent, in the previous quarter.

 

   For supplemental financial information about the first quarter results, you may refer to the Form 8-K filed by AmSouth with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2004, or visit the Investor Relations Resource Center on AmSouth's web site at www.amsouth.com.

El Camino Resources Announces Completion of Realignment Program; Well-Known Company to Rebuild U.S. Leasing and Expand Technology Services Markets

 

 

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.--( --El Camino Resources (ECR) has officially completed its corporate realignment and is rebuilding its leasing business, as well as expanding its high technology services, in the United States. 

 

   Once the largest independent leasing company in the world, with more than $1.3 billion in assets in four continents, as well as technology services in both the U.S. and Europe, ECR was forced to reduce the scope of its business and activities in late 2000.

 

   This reduction was imposed by its lead bank, following a roll up of several of ECR's banking relationships into the lead bank and the federal reserve tightening during calendar year 2000. El Camino has since successfully settled all of its obligations, and has emerged in Mexico and the United States with leasing and technology services business units.

 

   In Mexico, the company went through a 12-month period of reduced activity, but is now a leader in independent leasing. ECR has forged relationships with a number of leading banks in Mexico, and has negotiated a $20 million line for leasing, as well as other partnering facilities. In calendar year 2003, the Mexican operation achieved bookings for its own account of over $20 million in new leased assets. This year, the company has extended its reach with new partnering programs and expects to book in excess of $50 million in new lease receivables.

 

   David Lopez, ECR country manager, reports, "Due to the fast responding banking environment in Mexico, ECR Mexico has grown organically without an equity infusion or financial assistance from a U.S. parent. We expect to continue to utilize our skills and market contacts to substantially grow ECR Mexico's leased asset base."

 

   According to David Harmon, ECR president, "Our Mexico management team has forged strong and deep relationships in Mexico with both our clients and financing partners. Recently -- and for the first time ever -- we completed the discounting of lease receivables in Mexico on a non-recourse basis. This speaks to the strengths of ECR Mexico, its management team, and the maturing banking system in that country. ECR Mexico has substantial momentum in a business where momentum really counts. We expect our assets there to grow very quickly."

 

   Harmon also announced that, as of May 1, 2004, ECR will again write leases in the U.S. ECR has several banking and investor programs under development, is in negotiations with leading world-scale financial organizations, and expects to announce details over the near-term future. ECR's United States emphasis will be the same as during the company's previous 20+ years of operation: to write good leases with clients it expects to service over many years. As Harmon noted, "We expect substantial growth in leased assets in the U.S., in concert with partners utilizing El Camino Resource's expertise and asset management programs."

Just after 10 p.m., Booth, a Confederate sympathizer, shot Lincoln in the head, leaped to the stage below, and shouted, “Sic semper tyrannis!” Which means, "Thus always to tyrants!" the state motto of Virginia. In the fall, he broke his leg, but managed to escape the Washington, D.C. theatre, mount a horse, and flee to Virginia. Booth was tracked down and shot as he hid in a barn near Port Royal, Virginia. The next day, Lincoln died at 7:22 a.m.

    1894 - In New York City, Thomas Edison demonstrated his kinetoscope. A viewer held 50 feet of film , about 13 seconds worth, that showed images of Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill.

    1902 - J.C. (James Cash) Penney opened his first store -- in Kemmerer Wyoming. In partnership with Thomas M. Callahan and William Guy Johnson, Penney named the store "Golden Rule". The dry goods and clothing store had a first-year profit of $8,514.36 on sales of $28,898.11.

      1933- singer Buddy Knox was born in Happy, Texas. He was one of a number of southern country singers who broke into rock 'n' roll in the 1950's. "Party Doll" and "Hula Love" were his two big hits, both in 1957. Knox now makes his home in Dominion City, Manitoba, and still tours extensively. Like many rockabilly performers, he has a substantial following in Europe.

      1935 - Babe Ruth played his first National League game in Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. He was playing for the Boston Braves, not his old team the Red Sox, in this, his last year of pro ball in the major leagues.

    1935 --A windstorm moves from the Dakotas into the southern plains, lifting powdery soil into a 1,000-foot-high cloud — a blizzard of black dust & muddy rain hundreds of miles wide. With winds of 60 miles per hour, the storm moves quickly, engulfing whole towns in total darkness by early afternoon. Motorists are stranded on highways; farmers can't find their way home; families cower in houses, watching the dust pack so thickly against windows it seems they are being entombed. In 1935 alone, the winds took an estimated 850 million tons of topsoil. By the time the drought ends in 1940, the Dust Bowl states lost one-third of their population.

    1985 -record early season warmth occurred in the west. The temperature at Phoenix, Arizona reached 100 degrees which tied the record for the earliest in the season the mercury climbed to the 100 degree mark.

   1986- the United States launches air strikes against Libya in retaliation for the

Libyan sponsorship of terrorism against American troops and citizens. The raid,

which began shortly before 7 p.m. EST (2 a.m., April 15 in Libya), involved more

than 100 U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft, and was over within an hour. Five military targets and “terrorism centers” were hit, including the headquarters of

Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi. During the 1970s and '80s, Qaddafi's government financed a wide  variety of Muslim and anti-U.S. and anti-British terrorist groups worldwide, from Palestinian guerrillas and Philippine Muslim rebels to the Irish Republican Army. In response, the U.S. imposed sanctions against Libya, and relations between the two nations steadily deteriorated. In 1981, Libya fired at a U.S. aircraft that passed into the Gulf of Sidra, which Qaddafi had claimed in 1973 as Libyan territorial waters. That year, the U.S. uncovered evidence of Libyan-sponsored terrorist plots against the United States, including planned assassination attempts against U.S. officials and the bombing of a U.S. embassy-sponsored dance in Khartoum, Sudan. Today he has agreed to peace in the Middle East, perhaps due to the military action in Iraq.

Baseball Poem

 

Setting The Record

 

Written by Don Angel © in 10-2001

 

Published: Baseball Almanac (08-2003)

 

1998, Mark McGwire was the man.

Three years later would his 70 homeruns stand?

Coming home to the San Francisco Bay.

Three games with the Dodgers were left to play.

One more long ball would bring a new homerun king,

But Barry Bonds would rather have the ring.

Closing in on the record, Bonds has been walking as of late.

Los Angeles brought five runs across the plate.

During the first inning contest, Chan Ho Park would give it his all.

Bonds launched a 1-0 pitch over the right center-field wall.

Millions witness 71.

The Date — October 5, 2001

The night was still young,

His next at-bat was yet to come.

72 would be sent on it's way,

History was made twice today.

Joy would be short lived because of a Dodger's win,

The Giants playoff hopes would end.

Two days later we would see.

Homerun number 73.
