Transnational Financial Network Reports Record Earnings in Its Fourth Fiscal

Quarter

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) Jun 24, 2003 — Transnational Financial Network (TFN) announced Net Income of $ 1,134,730, or $ 0.17 per share for its fourth quarter ended April 30, 2003, a continuation of the dramatic turnaround from the fourth quarter of the previous year when it lost $ 311,122. The company earned $ 1,442,476 or $ 0.26 per share for the year ended April 30, 2003.

Joseph Kristul, Chairman and CEO, commented: “With these results, showing an annualized earning power in excess of $ 4.5 million and aggregate mortgage originations in excess of $ 1.6 billion, I believe we have thoroughly completed the turnaround and restructuring we embarked upon two years ago.

“This restructuring has occurred at all levels of the company, but is particularly noteworthy on three fronts:

“First, the restructuring of our product line to emphasize higher margin products with our correspondent mortgage brokers has continued to be remarkably fruitful. Our gain on sale continued its upward path, increasing to 128 basis points in our fourth quarter from 71 basis points in the comparable period a year earlier.

“Second, our mortgage originations were at a record high level. While we have benefited from strong industry conditions, we have also expanded our operations by adding new representative offices and account executives on our wholesale side, while increasing the base of mortgage origination officers on our retail side. This gives us an increasingly broad mortgage origination base for the future.

“Third, we continue to bear down hard on all aspects of our operational effectiveness. This can be clearly seen in several areas:

Our total cash balances grew to $ 4.5 million at the end of the quarter, or $ 0.66 per common share, reflecting both our improved profitability and the heightened productivity in all areas of our business.

Our indirect operating expenses as a percentage of revenues continue to decline, reaching 33.6% in the recently ended fourth quarter, down from over 50% a year earlier, and nearly 60% two years ago. In short, we have increased our efficiency dramatically, and will continue to pursue further efficiencies.

The average number of days our mortgages remain financed prior to purchase by secondary market buyers was down to 11 days by the end of the quarter, a figure that is very low by current industry standards. This results from our secondary market investors recognizing the extremely high quality of our submission packages and giving our loans expedited treatment as a result.

Accordingly, we have been able to use our capital base more efficiently, resulting in a higher level of mortgage originations than would be the case if our mortgages remained financed for a longer period of time.

We are reporting our year-end audited financial results within 60 days following fiscal year end, a major accomplishment for a company of any size.

Subject to receiving in a timely manner the consent to use previously audited statements from our prior outside auditing firm, we will file our Form 10KSB well before the statutory deadline of July 29th. “There continue to be areas where we expect to achieve further material improvements in the year ahead. With these currently reported results, I

expect that we will receive additional warehouse lines of credit that will permit us to increase our wholesale originations, while also being at a lower cost than our existing lines. To the extent we are able to accomplish

this and current market conditions continue to prevail, I would expect an increase in our revenues as well as a reduction in our Net Interest Expense in the periods ahead. Furthermore, I expect our expenditures on professional

fees to drop by about 50%, or about $ 500,000, in the coming year as a result of settling material litigation last December, and the retention of a new outside auditing firm last Fall.”

SSAE 16 Professionals Explains The Difference Between SAS 70 And SSAE 16 Reports

ï»¿

xml:lang=”en” lang=”en” xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>

SSAE 16 Professionals Explains The Difference Between SAS 70 And SSAE 16 Reports

SSAE 16 Professionals

Orange, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 14, 2011

SSAE 16 Professionals is a leading provider that specializes solely in SSAE 16 readiness reviews, SSAE 16 Type I Reports, and SSAE 16 Type II Reports. Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization, was finalized by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in January 2010. SSAE 16 was formally issued in April 2010 with an effective date of June 15, 2011, and will effectively replace SAS 70 as the standard for reporting on service organizations.

Below are several key differences between SAS 70 and SSAE 16 reports:

    Attestation Standard versus Auditing Standard â SSAE 16 reports will follow attestation standards and framework.
    Management Assertion â service auditor must obtain managementâs assertion which must contain the suitable criteria that management used to determine the controls have been applied as designed. Managementâs written assertion must accompany the service auditorâs report.
    Use of Suitable Criteria â management must use suitable criteria to base its written assertion. Suitable criteria can include evidence around the system design and implementation, automated or manual processes, types of transactions processed, as well as other COSO components.
    Use of Internal Audit â any work performed by internal audit must be discussed, including the type of work performed and the procedures used to perform the work.
    Risk Assessment â management must formally identify risks that threaten the achievement of the control objectives.

SSAE 16 Reports:

    are designed to help your users’ (customers’) auditors assess control risk, plan the audit and design procedures in conjunction with their financial statement audits
    provide user auditors a common vehicle to gain an understanding of your control environment without performing independent procedures at your organization
    are primarily a report from a âservice auditorâ to a âuser auditorâ on managementâs description of relevant internal control structure elements
âMost business executives prefer a collaborative partner when seeking professional services,â says Jim Jimenez, Partner at SSAE 16 Professionals. âSSAE 16 Professionals offers the ultimate value proposition: competitive fees coupled with unparalleled client service and expertiseâ.

SSAE 16 Readiness Reviews

SSAE 16 Readiness Reviews are consulting engagements that are designed to assist service organizations in assessing their preparedness for a SSAE 16 audit. We work collaboratively with your management team to perform a detailed readiness review and provide you with a gap matrix that identifies controls that would pass right away, controls that would partially fail, and controls that would fail and require remediation (in priority order with recommendations for remediation). Some firms go right into the SSAE 16 and realize there are issues which result in a qualified opinion. By that time, you’ve spent a lot of time and money only to get a qualified report (which is useless to you and your clients). With our approach, we perform a detailed readiness review, allow you remediate the gaps, and then start the clock ticking on a 6 or 12 month coverage period. We return at the end of the coverage period, test back through the period, and proceed to the report processing as soon as the coverage period ends.

SSAE 16 Type I and Type II Reports

In addition to Readiness Reviews, SSAE 16 Professionals completes both Type I and Type II SSAE 16 Reports.

    Type I – A report on policies and procedures placed in operation as of a specified point in time. SSAE 16 Type I Reports evaluate the design effectiveness of a service providerâs controls and then confirms that these controls have been placed in operation as of a specific date.
     Type II – A report on policies and procedures placed in operation and tests of operating effectiveness for a period of time. SSAE 16 Type II Reports include the examination and confirmation steps involved in a Type I examination plus include an evaluation of the effectiveness of the controls for a period of at least six calendar months. Most user organizations require their service provider to undergo the Type II level examination for the greater level of assurance it provides.
    SSAE 16 Reports are beneficial because:
     Financial Audit Requirement by SEC – Auditors of your Clients will increase their scrutiny of the âsystem of internal controlâ during their audits of the financial statements (Sarbanes-Oxley) – which will result in more requests for your SSAE 16 report.
     Marketing and Competitive Advantage – SSAE 16 can be a key differentiator to prospective clients.
     One Time Audit – Avoids user auditors (auditors of your clients) continuously contacting your personnel for separate audits throughout the year. Rather, your clients request and rely on the SSAE 16 report.

Incentive Travel Operator Reports Incentive Trips Recovery

Tunbridge Wells, Kent (PRWEB) July 21, 2011

The practice of businesses rewarding their staff with all expenses paid incentive trips is showing a healthy recovery according to CT Group Travel.

In the last few months CT Group Travel has observed a steady increase in both the level of enquiries and bookings for trips that serve as corporate rewards. These types of trips are arranged by businesses wishing to reward their staff for successful performance.

Mark Kempster, CT Group Travel Managing Director commented, “Our recent upturn in incentive trip bookings is more proof that some industry sectors are experiencing better trading conditions, and we certainly hope this positive trend continues”.

Overseas reward trips are typically organised by businesses such as recruitment companies and financial institutions that operate incentives for employees in an effort to help a business hit its all important sales goals.

Obviously each incentive booking is unique, but usually these types of trips are organised over a weekend for 2 to 3 nights, with groups ranging from 15 passengers upwards. The most popular destinations tend to be in the Mediterranean due to the relatively short flying time; places such as Barcelona, Ibiza and Marbella. The businesses who arrange the incentive trips normally opt for a fully inclusive programme which reduces the need for staff to pay for anything whilst away, so a trip would include flights, hotel accommodation, transportation and food. In some instances and as per CT Group Travel’s recent enquiries, it is quite common for companies to organise an exclusive boat charter for a morning or afternoon as part of the package.

These types of trips are not only a fantastic way for businesses to show their appreciation for all the hard efforts its staff have applied, but as senior management also take part in the trips they serve as a great way to further build team spirit. In addition, it is not unusual for CT Group Travel to escort a trip to ensure everything runs smoothly and relieve management from acting as party leaders whilst overseas.

UNIGLOBE member CT Group Travel are also specialist conference organisers, providing conference management services worldwide. For more information concerning CT Group Travel’s services please call +44 (0) 1892 673 427.

US Solar Market Forecast to Grow Tenfold by 2014, Solarbuzz Reports

ï»¿

xml:lang=”en” lang=”en” xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>

US Solar Market Forecast to Grow Tenfold by 2014, Solarbuzz Reports

Spring, TX (Vocus) July 22, 2010

Despite a challenging domestic economic environment, the US solar market grew 36% in 2009, according to the United States PV Market 2010 from Solarbuzz®, part of the NPD Group. This growth was, however, not nearly as strong as the regionâs 62% growth in 2008. On a global scale, the country was ranked the third largest solar photovoltaic market, behind Germany and Italy.

â2009 marked a year of transformation for the US solar market,â noted Craig Stevens, President of Solarbuzz. âChanges in the roles of utility companies, new market entrants, lower cost PV modules from Asia and new direct-to-market approaches became more prevalent. As a result, solar companies doing business in the States will need to adapt quickly to these challenges while also being responsive to frequent adjustments in the fragmented incentive and regulatory environment.â

The Golden State Steals the Sunshine

California continues to play a critical lead as the base load state market for the US. The state accounted for 53% of US PV on-grid installations, and is expected to maintain its strong position in 2010. Despite a slowdown in demand from the corporate sector across the U.S., government, residential and utility growth more than offset this effect. Price cuts in residential installations provided the foundation for steady growth across the country. A wide range of start-up markets in other states are well underway as new PV incentives were launched.

US Government Policies Progress

While there are utility barriers to be resolved, including regulatory restrictions on the use of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), the central policy thrust over the past 12 months remains positive. Sixteen states and Washington D.C. have enacted a Renewable Portfolio Standard with solar or DG set-asides to promote PV. Fulfillment of solar set-aside obligations drove around 30% of total on-grid PV installations in 2009.

The large number of state policy initiatives has created a fragmented regulations and incentive environment. Regardless, states are doing their job of stimulating local markets. The dispersed funding sources mean the U.S. market does not does not carry the same level of risk compared to countries driven by a single national policy. Nonetheless, Federal incentives are playing a much larger role in stimulating demand over the next two years.

SunPower Leads in US Installations

The systems division of SunPower was the leading company in terms of PV installed for the year. In California, Chevron Energy and SPG Solar performed strongly in 2009 and moved up to the #2 position.

US Market Forecast to Grow to 4.5-5.5 GW by 2014

Within the next five years, Solarbuzz forecasts the market will grow to between 4.5-5.5 GW depending on the scenario. This is around ten times the size of the 2009 market, an average annual growth rate of 30% per annum. The key drivers of this outcome will be much more aggressive positioning in the utility segment based on the need to meet their Renewable Portfolio Standard obligations, the development of new state markets together with the return of the corporate segment and steady growth in residential demand stimulated by cuts in end-market pricing. The US order book for photovoltaic systems currently stands at 12 GW. This represents the total of solar set-aside RPSâ, projections of demand from multi-year funded incentive programs, stimulus funded projects and other large utility identified projects.

The 2010 Solarbuzz regional reports (Asia and Pacific Major PV Markets 2010, Europe PV Markets 2010 and United States PV Market 2010) are now availableâbringing clarity to this complex sales and market environment.
