CIVIL INJUNCTIVE ACTION AGAINST TWO FORMER OFFICERS OF LASER TECHNOLOGY, INC.

On March 20, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil injunctive case against two former officers of Laser Technology, Inc (Laser Tech), a public company based in Englewood, Colorado, for falsifying the company's accounting records and periodic reports filed with the Commission At the same time, the Commission instituted cease and desist proceedings against Laser Tech and two directors for their roles in the violations The Commission's complaint m the civil injunctive case alleges that former president and chief executive officer David W Williams and former chief financial officer Pamela J Sevy caused Laser Tech in 1993 to improperly record revenue for speed guns shipped to an Australian distributor They then engaged in a series of steps for several years to conceal the improper accounting, including the creation and use of a secret bank account. Specifically, Williams, with Sevy's assistance, lent money to the Australian distributor, who used it to pay for the speed guns Williams and Sevy then caused Laser Tech to repay the loans that Williams and another officer had previously taken out

The concealment began to unravel in October 1998 when a Laser Tech employee reported the undisclosed bank account to Laser Tech's independent accountants The independent accountants resigned in December 1998, an event that Laser Tech reported to the public and the Commission on a Form 8-K

The complaint alleges that Williams and Sevy violated the antifraud provisions of the federal secunties laws by engaging in the conduct described in the complaint The complaint further alleges that Williams and Sevy falsified Laser Tech's accounting records and made false statements to Laser Tech's auditors, and that they aided and abetted Laser Tech in making false statements in Its public filings and failing to maintain complete and accurate accounting records The complaint seeks permanent injunctions against Williams and Sevy to prevent future violations of the securities laws, and the imposition of civil penalties against them Simultaneously with the filing of the case, Williams and Sevy consented to entry of permanent injunctions without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, and agreed to pay civil penalties of $25,000 and $10,000 respectively Williams and Sevy are specifically charged with violations of Sections 1O(b) and 13(b)( 5) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules lOb-5, I3b2-1, and 13b2-2, they are charged with aiding and abetting violations of Section 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules I3a-l, 13a-13, and 12b-20

In the cease and desist proceedings the Commission brought similar charges against Laser Tech, and also alleged that two Laser Tech directors, H DeWorth Williams (David Williams' brother) and Jeremy G Dunne, caused the company to make false statements in public filmgs by not reporting personal transactions that they had WIth the company DeWorth Williams allegedly reimbursed Laser Tech for monies that the company paid to David Williams. Dunne provided some of the funds that DaVId WIlliams loaned to the Australian distributor, and then was reimbursed by Laser Tech. Laser Tech, DeWorth

Williams, and Dunne settled the proceedings by consenting to cease and desist orders without admitting or denying the allegations. For more information on the cease and desist

CIVIL ACTION AGAINST SHAN HEFLEY

On March 21, the Commission filed a civil action against a registered representative who targeted and defrauded his elderly customers of more than $400,000. The Commission's complaint alleges that, from September 13, 1996, through January 15, 1999, while a registered representative associated with Edward D. Jones & Co., LP, and working in its office in Bowie, Texas, Shan Michael Hefley liquidated, without his customers' knowledge or consent, various investments totaling $405,932. The monies were in the accounts of seven customers ranging in age from 77 to 92 years old Hefley initially caused these funds to be deposited in his brokerage account or in other Edward Jones' accounts over which he exercised control The monies were subsequently withdrawn by Hefley or transferred by him to his personal bank account The misappropriated funds were used for his own personal benefit

Simultaneous with the filing of the complaint, Hefley consented, on a neither admit or deny basis, to the entry of a Final Judgment permanently enjoining him future violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and requiring him to disgorge $160,516 -the balance of non-reimbursed funds misappropriated by Hefley The agreed Final Judgment also orders Hefley to pay prejudgment interest of $55,679 and a civil penalty of $55,000

The Final Judgment permanently enjoins Hefley from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws contained in Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section lOeb) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder

$20,000 Micro Warehouse is a catalog seller of personal computers and related software and accessories, headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut.

In 1995 Micro Warehouse over-stated income from operations by $21. 5 million, or approximately 29 percent. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, Micro Warehouse over-stated income from operations by $11 5 million, or approximately 100 percent

Under the settlements, which must be approved by the Court, Furman and Hieber each consent, without admitting or denying the complaint's allegations, to final judgments which restrain and enjoin them from violating or aiding and abettmg violations of the antifraud, reporting, books and records, and internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws [Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of1933 and Sections l Orb), 13(b)(2) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules lOb-5, 12b-20, 13a-l, 13a-13, 13b2-1 and/or 13b2-2 promulgated thereunder] Furman also consented to a bar from acting as an officer or director of a public company No civil penalty was imposed against Furman based upon his demonstrated financial inability to pay Hieber also consented to payment of a civil monetary penalty of $20,000

As part of his settlement, Furman also consented to a Commission Order which denies hun the privilege of practicing before the Commission as an accountant Pending approval of the settled injunctive action by the Court, the Commission will institute an administrative proceeding against Furman pursuant to the Commission's Rule of Practice 102(e) Furman is a certified public accountant licensed to practice in New York, and Furman will neither admit nor deny the findings in the Commission's Order.
