ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGSSEC Charges Capital One with Understating Auto Loan LossesThe Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) today charged Capital One Financial Corporation and two senior executives for understating millions of dollars in auto loan losses incurred during the months leading into the financial crisis. An SEC investigation found that in financial reporting for the second and third quarters of 2007, Capital One failed to properly account for losses in its auto finance business when they became higher than originally forecasted. The profitability of its auto loan business was primarily derived from extending credit to subprime consumers. As credit markets began to deteriorate, Capital One’s internal loss forecasting tool found that the declining credit environment had a significant impact on its loan loss expense. However, Capital One failed to properly incorporate these internal assessments into its financial reporting, and thus understated its loan loss expense by approximately 18 percent in the second quarter and 9 percent in the third quarter. Capital One agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle the SEC’s charges. The two executives — former Chief Risk Officer Peter A. Schnall and former Divisional Credit Officer David A. LaGassa — also agreed to settle the charges against them. “Accurate financial reporting is a fundamental obligation for any public company, particularly a bank’s accounting for its provision for loan losses during a time of severe financial distress,” said George Canellos, Co-Director of the Division of Enforcement. “Capital One failed in this responsibility by underreporting expenses relating to its loan losses even as its own internal forecasting tool had signaled an increase in incurred losses due to the impending financial crisis.” According to the SEC’s order instituting settled administrative proceedings, beginning in October 2006 and continuing through the third quarter of 2007, Capital One Auto Finance (COAF) experienced significantly higher charge-offs and delinquencies for its auto loans than it had originally forecasted. The elevated losses occurred within every type of loan in each of COAF’s lines of business. Its internal loss forecasting tool assessed that its escalating loss variances were attributable to an increase in a forecasting factor it called the “exogenous” — which measured the impact on credit losses from conditions external to the business such as macroeconomic conditions. A change in this exogenous factor generally had a significant impact on COAF’s loan loss expense, and it was closely monitored by the company through its loss forecasting tool. Capital One determined that incorporating the full exogenous levels into its loss forecast would have resulted in a second quarter allowance build of $72 million by year-end. Since no such expense was incorporated for the second quarter, it would have resulted in a third quarter allowance build of $85 million by year-end. However, according to the SEC’s order, instead of incorporating the results of its loss forecasting tool, Capital One failed to include any of COAF’s exogenous-driven losses in its second quarter provision for loan losses and included only one-third of such losses in the third quarter. The exogenous losses were an integral component of Capital One’s methodology for calculating its provision for loan losses. As a result, Capital One’s second and third quarter loan loss expense for COAF did not appropriately estimate probable incurred losses in accordance with accounting requirements. The SEC’s order also finds that Schnall and LaGassa caused Capital One’s understatements of its loan loss expense by deviating from established policies and procedures and failing to implement proper internal controls for determining its loan loss expense. Schnall, who oversaw Capital One’s credit management function, took inadequate steps to communicate COAF’s exogenous treatment to the senior management committee in charge of ensuring that the company’s allowance was compliant with accounting requirements. Despite warnings, he also failed to ensure that the exogenous treatment was properly documented. LaGassa, who managed the COAF loss forecasting process, failed to ensure that the proper exogenous levels were incorporated into the COAF loss forecast. He also failed to ensure that the exogenous treatment was documented consistent with policies and procedures. “Financial institutions, especially those engaged in subprime lending practices, must have rigorous controls surrounding their process for estimating loan losses to prevent material misstatements of those expenses,” said Gerald W. Hodgkins, Associate Director of the Division of Enforcement. “The SEC will not tolerate deficient controls surrounding an issuer’s financial reporting obligations, including quarterly reporting obligations.” Capital One’s material understatements of its loan loss expense and internal controls failures violated the reporting, books and records, and internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws, namely Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-13. Schnall and LaGassa caused Capital One’s violations of Section 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13a-13 thereunder and violated Exchange Act Rule 13b2-1 by indirectly causing Capital One’s books and records violations. Schnall agreed to pay an $85,000 penalty and LaGassa agreed to pay a $50,000 penalty to settle the SEC’s charges. Capital One and the two executives neither admitted nor denied the findings in consenting to the SEC’s order requiring them to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of these federal securities laws. (Press Rel. 2013-72)(Rel. 34-69442; AAER-3456; File No. 3-15299). Commission Summarily Affirms Initial Decision of Administrative Law Judge, In Part, and Revokes the Registration of A-Power Energy Generation Systems, Ltd.The Commission has summarily affirmed an administrative law judge's initial decision, in part, and revoked the registration of the securities of A-Power Energy Generation Systems, Ltd. The law judge found that A-Power had violated Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements by failing to file its required annual report for fiscal year 2010. The law judge also found, in determining sanctions, that A-Power failed to file an annual report for fiscal year 2011 or report the resignation of its auditor on Form 6-K. The Commission determined that the factual findings of the law judge were correct, with the exception of her finding with respect to Form 6-K. The Commission also determined that the law judge was correct in finding that A-Power violated Exchange Act § 13(a) and Exchange Act Rule 13a-1. Accordingly, on its own initiative, the Commission determined that it was appropriate to summarily affirm these factual and legal findings. The Commission further determined that A-Power's failure to file was serious, recurrent, and evidenced a high degree of culpability, and that A-Power failed to demonstrate any effort to remedy its past violations or to offer any credible assurances against future violations. The Commission concluded therefore that revoking the registration of A-Power's registered securities was necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors. (Rel. 34-69439; File No. 3-14935) In the Matter of Tara BrysonThe Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Tara Bryson. The Order finds that Tara Bryson was a former employee of New Stream Capital, LLC (New Stream), an unregistered investment adviser and Delaware limited liability company organized in October 2002 with its principal place of business in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Tara Bryson worked for New Stream and its predecessor entities from approximately 2004 to 2010. On February 26, 2013, the Commission filed a civil action against Tara Bryson and others in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, SEC v. New Stream Capital, LLC, et al., Civil Action No. 3:13-cv-00264-RNC. The Commission’s Complaint alleges, inter alia, that while employed at New Stream, Tara Bryson engaged in conduct that violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and that she aided and abetted violations of Section 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act) and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder. On April 16, 2013, the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut entered, by consent, a final judgment against Tara Bryson permanently enjoining her from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206-4(8) thereunder. Based on the above, the Order bars Tara Bryson from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent. Tara Bryson consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except she admitted to the entry of the injunction. (Rel.
