ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

COMMISSION DISMISSES PROCEEDING AGAINST DAVID EAST

The Commission determined to dismiss its proceeding against David East Jr The

Division of Enforcement had appealed an earlier dismissal of the proceeding by an

administrative law judge The Commission also determined to dismiss the case but

declined to express any view regarding the merits or any of the conclusions in the initial

decision Rel 34-43 569 File No 3-895

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED AND SETTLED AGAINST PER-

SE TECHNOLOGIES INC FORMERLY KNOWN AS MEDAPHIS CORPORATION

On October 18 2000 the Commission instituted public administrative proceedings

against Per-Se Technologies Inc Per-Se formerly known as Medaphis Corporation

Medaphis an Atlanta-based supplier of business management services to physicians

and hospitals Per-Se consented to the issuance of an Order directing it to cease and

desist from committing or causing violations of the reporting books and records and

internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws without admitting or denying

the findings contained in the Order

The Order finds that Medaphis improperly recognized license fee revenue where

there was no disclosure of material contingency that affected the payment of such fee

revenue improperly reversed an accrual for employee bonuses improperly

created reserves and subsequently reversed them into earnings and failed to accrue

for probable losses on software development contracts

As the result of such improper accounting Medaphis made inaccurate filings with the

Commission in its 1995 Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q for the first and second quarters of

1996 materially overstating its net income in each of these filings

The Order also finds that during the quarter and year ended December 31 1995 and the

first and second quarters of 1996 Medaphis failed to have internal controls sufficient to

ensure that its financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted

accounting principles Re 34-43570 AAE Rel 1343 File No 3-10364

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED AND SETTLED AGAINST GLEN

LANG

On October 18 2000 the Commission instituted public administrative proceedings

against Glen Donald Lang Lang the former president and chief executive officer of

Imonics Corporation Imonics computer software development and consulting

company located in Cary North Carolina Lang consented to the issuance of an Order

directing him to cease-and-desist from committing or causing violations of the antifraud

reporting and books and records provisions of the federal securities laws without

admitting or denying the findings contained in the Order

The Order finds that Imonics which at all relevant times was wholly-owned

subsidiary of an Atlanta-based supplier of business management services to physicians

and hospitals Company executed in December 1995 an agreement with German

company to form joint venture As part of this agreement the German company

delivered note for $3.5 million to Imonics for the use of software developed by

Imonics The Company through Imonics recognized this amount as revenue in the

fourth quarter of 1995 The Order also finds that in January 1996 Lang sent letter to

the head of Imonics German partner in the joint venture that had the effect of delaying

any payments due to Imonics under the note Lang did not send copy of this letter to

the Companys corporate headquarters The Order further finds that Langs letter

created contingency for the amount payable to Imonics and therefore the Company

and made improper the Companys recognition of the $3.5 million in revenue from the

joint venture in the fourth quarter of 1995

The Order finds that the Company overstated its net income for the fourth quarter and

year ended December 31 1995 in an earnings release issued in February 1996 in its

1995 Form 10-K filed with the Commission in April 1996 and in registration

statements filed with the Commission in April May and June 1996 that incorporated

by reference the overstated net income reported in the Companys 1995 Form 10-K

Finally the Order finds that Langs letter was discovered in September 1996 causing

the Company in the following month to restate its operating results to report net losses

for both the quarter and year ended December 31 1995 Rels 33-7916 34-43571

NEWS DIGEST November 17 2000

books and records provisions of the federal securities laws without admitting or

denying the findings contained in the Order

The Order finds that Douglass

in the first quarter of 1996 was involved in the inappropriate reversal of an

accrual for vested employee bonuses of $1.4 million by subsidiary of the

Company which increased income for the first quarter of 1996 on the

Companys consolidated financial statements

in the second quarter of 1996 instructed recently acquired subsidiary to

reverse $2.5 million in reserves into income which materially inflated the

Companys earnings through consolidation in that quarter

in the second quarter of 1996 failed to cause the Company to establish reserves

for additional costs expected on software development and consulting contracts

which caused the Company to overstate its earnings and revenue for the second

quarter by approximately $1.4 million

failed to implement system of sufficient internal controls to ensure that the

Companys financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally

accepted accounting principles and failed to ensure compliance with those

internal controls the Company did have and

failed to give complete and accurate information to the Companys outside

auditors concerning the nature of the entries on the Companys books and

records during the first and second quarters of 1996

SEC OBTAINS SUMMARY JUDGMENT AGAINST THREE DEFENDANTS IN CASE

INVOLVING $9 MILLION IPO STOCK FRAUD

The Commission announced that on November the Honorable Denise Cote United

States District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York granted the

Commissions motion for partial summary judgment against three defendants in its

securities fraud case involving Milan Capital Group Inc company based in

Melville New York The three defendants are Ira Monas who was the president

and owner of Milan Michael Lamhut who was Milans operations manager and

Jason Cope who was the branch manager of the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania office of

Investment Offices broker-dealer associated with Milan that did business under the

name AC Financial Inc

The Commission filed its original complaint in this matter on January 2000

charging Milan with unlawfully offering for sale and purportedly selling IPO

securities while failing to be registered with the Commission as broker-dealer On

NEWS DIGEST November 17 2000

that same day on application by the Commission the court issued temporary

restraining order freezing Milans assets and enjoining Milan from acting as an

unregistered broker-dealer See Litigation Release No 16405 January 10 2000 On

January 21 2000 on application by the Commission the court appointed receiver

for Milan to among other things identify and secure Milans assets and property

ascertain the disposition of investors funds and ensure the fair treatment of all

investors who dealt with Milan The court has since granted motions by the receiver to

freeze assets of various parties alleged to have received investor funds from Milan

In an amended complaint filed on February 29 2000 the Commission charged Monas

Lamhut Cope and others with violating the antifraud provisions of the federal

securities laws and aiding and abetting Milans violation of the broker-dealer

registration provisions See Litigation Release No 16460 March 2000 In

granting partial summary judgment against the three defendants the court found that

through Cope and his team of brokers at the AC Financial Pittsburgh office Monas

and Milan convinced approximately 200 customers to pay almost $9 million for shares

in several IPOs As the court also found investors were told that Monas and Milan

had access to these IPOs and after sending funds to Milan were provided with sales

confirmations on Milan letterhead In fact the court found Milan did not have access

to IPOs and never provided investors with any IPO shares The court further found

that Lamhut and Cope made false representations to investors in connection with this

scheme and that Monas and his wife withdrew substantial investor funds from Milans

accounts

The court found that Monas Lamhut and Cope violated the antifraud provisions of the

federal securities laws Section 10b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Exchange

Act Rule lOb-S promulgated thereunder and Section 17a of the Securities Act of

1933 The court also found that the defendants aided and abetted Milans violation of

the broker-dealer registration provisions of Section 15a of the Exchange Act The

court enjoined these defendants from further violations of these laws and will require

the defendants to pay frill disgorgement and pre-judgment interest The court further

ruled that it would determine the amount of disgorgement and pre-judgment interest and

decide whether civil monetary penalties should be entered against the defendants after

the court-appointed receiver concludes his investigation Claims against other

defendants in this case remain pending Milan Capital Group Inc et al 00 Civ
