Cash Kept in Cigar Box
In at least one Office. he said
the company cash was diverted
to a cigar box and was used
periodically by company en-
Iployes to apply to delinquent
accounts even though the Dor.
rowers actually had made nj
payments so far as he could de.

cases 80 cents Of the dollar was
credited to interest and one cent
to principal.

not be sure but since the account

account" list.
The SEC hearings are being
held to determine whether or
not Coastars registration for the
issuance of securities should be
revoked permanently.
In calling the hearing the
commission charged that a
statement filed with it last Au-
gust contained false statements
about the company's assets and
capital.
In the meantime a Federal
Court in Baltimore has APP
pointed a trustee under Chapter
x Of the Maryland Bankruptcy
Act.
Discovered in February
In response to other questions,
Mr.. Sanders could recall no EVIL
dence that officers of Coastal
knew of the irregularities before
their discovery in February.
Records indicated irregularities
began late in November, 1854, he
declared.
He said that fictitious loans
were made often by using names,
references and records from the
l"P&L" or uncollectible file,
Those people who failed to pay
and were counted as "losses"
were named on new loan jackets,
with all of the old references,
even though their old debt had
been written of as a loss, he
said.
The fictitious loans. for which
the records were gotten together,
helped to account for cash d.
verted to the slush fund. he in
dicated.
Mr.. Sanders said his account
ing firm had served Coastal
since the small loan company
was organized, but that it made
no appraisal in connection with
Coastal's acquisition Of Gateway
Finance of Pittsburgh, another
small loan firm. He added that
he had no personal knowledge OF
any appraisal in this connection.
The SEC has accused the COM
pany Of making a number Of
false statements in its registra-
tons statement last August 5,
including one that Gateway
property was appraised at $275.-
033 for loans receivable and ST.
500 for fixtures. The SEC has
charged that no appraisal was
made in accordance with normal
and customary techniques fol-
lowed in the loan industry.

In part, the resolution said the
