Nationwide Funding Takes the High Road

 

In the original complaint by John Darlington of J&E Salvage against GeNESIS Commercial Capital, Irvine, California,  Mr. Darlington mentioned the proposal and money he had sent to Nationwide Funding, Chicago, Illinois.

 

On July 1, 2003, Mr. Darlington had signed a proposal and sent Nationwide a check for $4,000.  In investigating the complaint, Leasing News learned that Harbor Leasing had an approval for $50,000 and before Nationwide Funding would start to work on the transaction for $75,000, they required a letter from Harbor Leasing withdrawing their the approval. Nationwide received the letter on 7/9/03, they then started work. The last item was  the account number for the comparable credit, which they received on July 18,2004. Their funder approved the transaction on July 21. These statements were backed up with fax copies to Leasing News as evidence of the dates and information.

 

Unbeknownst to them, Mr. Darlington had signed an agreement and sent a check to GeNESIS on July 15,2003.  Mr. Darlington told Leasing News he could not wait any longer and he claimed GeNESIS told him they could “pay the vendor right away.”

 

When he received the documents on July 22nd, he was told by GeNESIS they were going to send the money to the vendor (even though he had not signed contracts with them,) he told Leasing News.  To say the least, they did not fund the transaction.

 

In his complaint to Leasing News, he grouped Nationwide Funding with

all leasing companies, which evidently is not true.  In this instance, where Nationwide Funding legally could keep the $4,000 as they had met the approval terms and conditions within the 30 day time frame, they decided to send the deposit back.

 

“We are in the business of funding leases, not in the business of retaining commitment fees/deposits, “ answered Evan Lang of Nationwide Funding. “ We would be more than happy to apply it to complete a new lease, but in the spirit of what has happened,

we have over-nighted the check back”

 

John Darlington acknowledges receiving the check, and said he now realizes that all leasing companies are not the same.

 

Congratulations to Nationwide Funding for taking the high road.

How funders look at full disclosure transactions.

How to read and interpret your prospect's financial statements and tax returns, both business & personal.

This is an intermediate to advanced class. Attendees are expected to have a basic knowledge of the structure of financial statements. Please bring a calculator. There will be liberal use of real-life examples and case studies.

Charlie Lester and “The Receptionist”

 

This is from the July 11 “Sunday Sermon.”  If you want to

join our leasing industry “spiritual group,” just hit reply

and subject line: Sunday Sermon.

 

 

                 The Receptionist

 

 

Normally biographies about the person appear at the end, but I thought it more appropriate to begin here. This is about a grand "old man" of the leasing industry. He is still going strong, and has had enough money to retire a long time ago, but has not.

 

Charlie Lester is President of LPI Financial Services located in Marietta, Georgia. He has been in the leasing industry since leaving IBM in 1984; twenty years. . He is considered one of the

"icons" of the industry, threatening often to retiring, letting his son-in-law, Kurt Hess and long time employee, Kay Smith,  run the company.

 

Charlie is a very unique individual: his one man. I have known him as a good friend who always calls them as he sees them, whether he agrees or disagrees with you. Trust me, we are best of friends, but we have fought like cats and dogs on occasions, almost like brothers.  Most of the time he is right, but I will never tell him that.  We need to keep him humble.

 

 In 1986, he founded Lease Pro, Inc. specializing in leasing for the medical profession. In 1997, Lease Pro was acquired by First Sierra Financial. In 1999, he resigned from First Sierra and started LPI after sitting out his non-compete period. Since 2000, LPI in conjunction with one of the most respected funding sources in the industry has offered a unique one of a kind working capital loan program to medical professionals through brokers, consultants and direct client

marketing. If the names Charles and Dwight ring a bell, I bet you can guess his funding source (NetBank .

 

He has a BS and MS from Virginia Tech and had a short life as a CPA in 1965 when he found he was more BS than CPA.  After 18 year in sales and sales management in six different cities, he resigned from IBM in 1984 to raise his family in Atlanta rather than taking a transfer to New York City for a second time. In late 1984, an ex-IBM friend introduced him to the world of equipment leasing and the rest is history.

 

Both are active in their community.  Barbara is the Altar Guild Chairperson for their church as well as being a Stephen Minister. Charlie is a member of the Cobb County Civil Service Board, East

Cobb Lion's Club and his church's Board of Trustees.

 

Like Barbara, Charlie's favorite pastime is their grand kids. The attached photo was taken last week on Father's Day with the entire family around the pool.  Charlie jokingly says, "If I could have had my grand kids first, I may have passed on my kids".  He is only kidding as he sends me pictures over the internet with his children and spouses all the time as he is equally proud of

them.

 

 

 

"Back row--left to right:  Kurt Hess, son-in-law, Sharon Hess, Daughter, Charlie and wife Barbara Front row with their feet in the water:  Darby Hess, grand daughter, Kyle Hess, grandson, Skyler Hess, grand daughter, Cooper Milligan sitting my daughter Melanie Milligan's lap and Bill Milligan, son-in-law. Unfortunately, grandson Justin Milligan was visiting in California and missed the picture."

 

The theme of today's Sunday Sermon is an e-mail he sent me several years ago:

 

"As part of my training with IBM in 1967, I was assigned for a month as an AA to Tom Watson, Sr., the founder of IBM".

 

"When we traveled to IBM Branch Offices in the Eastern Region, Mr.. Watson would always spend 10-15 minutes with the receptionist before seeing anyone else, including the Branch Manager. Mr.

Watson preached that the receptionist was the most important person in the branch office".

 

"She was the first contact and voice that IBM customers encountered. She set the image for the entire branch. In addition, he believed the receptionist was tuned into branch attitude and spirit more than anyone else in the branch. He used the receptionist as a barometer, not as a spy. He also had AA's, like me, keep a list of branch receptionists and when there was a receptionist change, we would alert him and he would call and introduce himself to the new receptionist.  If the receptionist moved to another job in the branch, he would also call her to thank her and congratulate her.  No matter what job--can you imagine receiving a call from the Chairman and

founder of IBM to thank you for the job you do? (Footnote:  In 1966-67, IBM only had females as receptionists since they were smarter)."

 

"Mr. Watson had a profound influence on me since I married a great lady who was the receptionist in the Roanoke, VA branch when I started as a trainee in 1966.  Soon after I joined IBM, this lady

became an executive secretary to my boss who demanded things like hard work and effort from me for her boss.  I definitely liked her better as a receptionist".

 

"We have been happily married for almost 32 years and still going strong. I guess Mr. Watson was right."

"What Lessors Are Saying About…Software Leasing"

 

         ELT News

 

The leasing of software is becoming a more common feature of technology deals. But, subscription services, Web services, longer sales cycles and jaded business leaders are coloring today’s current market. What is its real future?

 

“We see software becoming a larger and larger component of every deal we do,” says Deborah Monosson, Boston Financial & Equity Corporation. “Years ago you never saw software, but now almost every deal has software attached to it (beyond operating software). I don’t know why more lessors don’t get into this business, though I can see how a leasing company might be tentative. You can’t actually own software, but rather just license the software, so its unsecured.”

 

“Most lessors don’t understand intellectual property,” notes Ronald Strong of Oracle Credit Corp. “We don’t bump into other lessors much probably due to the lack of comfort with leasing software. It is a difficult proposition for a smaller leasing company unless they work for the software vendor themselves. They need to have a user agreement with the software vendor. But, even so, it is a pretty mature market.”

Bill Zadrozny of Siemens Financial Services, Inc., says, “Our view is that, while this is still an attractive market, we don't see any growth in the foreseeable future. Many of the manufacturers are either holding more of the paper internally, or they are switching to subscription accounting, which spreads the revenue over time, obviating the need for external financing with likes of us.”

 

Mark Bazrod of LPI Software Funding Group says, “Beginning of summer in 2003, the activity and interest in new licenses and in software leasing from customers skyrocketed. Closings have not, however. My guess concerns around Iraq interest rates, economy, and the election are the reason.”

 

“But, the $100,000 to one million deals are currently being underserved. There is a shortage of funding resources. This is due in large part because they are too large for small ticket lessors and too small for investment grade large ticket lessors. We don’t see a lot to increased competition to serve that market,” says Bazrod.

If a lessor is committed to taking the leap, however, some sage advice exists: align yourself with a software manufacturer, understand the value of software, and expect a longer sales cycle and smaller deals.

 

“Leasing companies need to look more closely at the value of software. That requires a transition of thinking for a lot of people. Coming out of an equipment background, that is difficult. A lot of lessors still put limits on how much software can be in a transaction – 20 to 30 percent. But sometimes software is 60 to70 percent of total purchase,” says Bazrod. “But, from day one, we took a security interest in the license. That is how we secured the transaction.”

 

Offers Zadrozny: “Financing software aligned with a manufacturer has its advantages in that the license can be pulled more easily in the event of default. Also, the manufacturer can help in the construction of the contract so, in the event of bankruptcy, it’s an executory contract and not considered debt and therefore a complete write off. If it’s executory you have some leverage with the customer if they are staying in business.”

 

Bazrod adds, “In response to Y2K and the tech bubble of the 1990s, where lots of software companies make promises and then didn’t fulfill on them, users have become a lot more jaded. They are shying away from large transactions that take a year or two to implement. What they are doing is more smaller, well defined segments. Instead of $3 million, they spend$500,000. They may end up spending as much money, but at a more measured pace. You have to expect that.”

Citrix Helps California Community Bank For Trusted Access To Applications

 

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla...Bank of Walnut Creek Uses Citrix-Based Access Strategy to Get Branch Offices Up-and-Running Faster 

 

   Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in access infrastructure solutions, today announced that one of California's most prominent community banks, Bank of Walnut Creek, is using Citrix access infrastructure to drive growth through more efficient branch office expansion. Bank of Walnut Creek faced the challenge of providing new and existing branch office employees with consistent access to applications without "breaking the bank" with high IT infrastructure investments or administrative costs. With a Citrix-based access strategy supported by Citrix Solution Advisor Vector ESP, Bank of Walnut Creek has benefited from a cost-effective, consistent and repeatable way to get branch offices online almost instantly without the burden of on-site administrative support. As a result, the bank has been able to reduce overhead costs and improve both employee productivity and customer response time.

 

   "Everybody at the bank uses Citrix," said Rick McGhehey, IT administrator for the Bank of Walnut Creek. "It's strategic to our day-to-day operations because we couldn't be up and running without it. We all depend on it."

 

   Bank of Walnut Creek is an independent bank with eight locations serving northern California. Founded in 1980, the bank has more than $500 million in assets and was ranked by U.S. Banker magazine as one of the five most profitable community banks nationwide.

 

   The bank needed a cost-effective way to improve access to information from its branch offices, which ran applications on individual PCs not connected to other branches or the company's headquarters. Moreover, this decentralized approach was time-consuming and costly, requiring IT staff to be on site at each branch to solve IT problems. The bank turned to Vector ESP and Citrix(R) MetaFrame(R) Presentation Server for secure, easy and instant access to information without the expense and time involved in upgrading individual PCs or supporting every branch with its own server system.

 

   Bank of Walnut Creek has centralized its access environment using Citrix access infrastructure. Now, since application deployment and management take place on centralized servers instead of at individual desktops, the bank needs only two IT administrators to support 115 users, compared to the five-plus administrators needed without Citrix. Moreover, the bank has been able to replace costly PCs with less-expensive thin-client devices. Application deployment is faster since installations do not need to be performed at every workstation. In addition, by centralizing servers and running all applications out of one location, the bank has improved security and cut costs further by eliminating branch firewalls.

 

   Applications running on Citrix range from the Microsoft(R) Office suite to equipment leasing and loan origination software. For example, the bank's Note and Central Services departments use MetaFrame Presentation Server to access proprietary banking software that allows them to process loans and handle customer calls. Executives rely on the secure gateway feature of MetaFrame Presentation Server to further safeguard Internet connectivity with SSL encryption, so that they can securely access applications from anywhere via a Web browser. MetaFrame Presentation Server also plays an integral role in the Bank of Walnut Creek's disaster recovery plan, allowing the bank to redirect information if the main server farm goes down so that branches remain operational.

 

   The Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite provides an exceptional foundation to build highly scalable, flexible, secure, manageable access solutions that reduce computing costs and increase the utility of any information system. As the foundation of the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite, Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server is the world's most widely deployed presentation server for centrally managing heterogeneous applications and delivering their functionality as a service to workers, wherever they may be. MetaFrame Presentation Server is certified to run on Microsoft(R) Windows Server(TM) 2003, Microsoft Windows(R) 2000 Server, and runs on a variety of UNIX(R) platforms from Sun Microsystems, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard, and supports virtually any custom or commercially packaged Windows, Web, and UNIX application.

Baseball Poem---Two

 

 In honor of  Roger Maris jersey retirement (  1984 )

 

O Holy Cow!

The poems on this page have been taken from the book

O Holy Cow! The Selected Verse of Phil Rizzuto

edited by Tom Peyer and Hart Seely. The Ecco Press. New Jersey. 1993.

All poems are copyright © 1993 by Phil Rizzuto

 

 

Poem No. 61

Here comes Roger Maris

They're standing up.

Waiting to see if Roger

Is going to hit

Number sixty-one.

Here's the windup.

The pitch to Roger.

Way outside.

Ball one.

 

The fans are starting to boo.

Low...

Ball two.

That one was in the dirt.

And the boos get louder. Two balls no strikes

On Roger Maris...

 

Here's the windup.

Fastball

HIT DEEP TO RIGHT-

THIS COULD BE IT.

WAY BACK THERE.

HOLY COW.

 

HE DID IT.

SIXTY-ONE HOME RUNS.

 

They're fighting for the ball out there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the Game

From the book

That Sweet Diamond

by Paul B. Janeczko, Carole Katchen (Illustrator)

Bases yanked.

Infield groomed.

Tarp pulled

to the edge of the outfield grass,

smoothed.

Lowered flags folded.

Hisst, hisst, hisst of brooms

sweeping aisles and ramps.

 

Section by section,

the lights go out

until the field is dark,

and the ghosts of players

gone

to other lives

long

for another game

on that sweet diamond.
