Asset Securitisation, Banking

Securitisation of assets is an addition to the existing channels for recycling of funds by business entities.
What is securitisation? It is a process through which the future income or receivables (the money that is to become due in future) of an organisation, are transformed and sold as debt instruments (such as bonds with a fixed rate of return). In respect of banks, a part of their loan portfolio can be packed together and off-loaded in the form the debt instruments (called pass-through certificate) to the prospective investors with the provision that the inflow of cash in the form of recoveries shall be distributed amongt the investors. This allows the securitising organisation/bank to get funds upfront, which can be put to more productive use in the business.
Intermediaries in the securitisation transaction There are various entities involved in the securitisation transaction which include the Originator (the party/bank which has a pool of assets which it can offer for securitisation and is in need of immediate cash). Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV - the entity that will own the assets once they are securitised), usually, in the form of a trust. It is necessary that the assets should be held by the SPV as this would ensure that the investors' interest is secure even if the originator goes bankrupt. The servicer is an entity that manages the asset portfolio and ensures that payments are made in time. The credit enhancer can be any party which provides a reassurance to the investors that it will pay in the event of a default. This could take the form of a bank guarantee also. The other parties include he credit rating agencies, the credit enhancement providers and the investors.
Process of Securitisation
• Original lender (bank or FI) selects and then sells various types of loans to another institution (which may promote a subsidiary for this purpose called Special Purpose Vehicle, which is a sort of Trust);
• The special purpose vehicle- SPV (called issuer also) makes the payment to the original lender for the loans purchased under the arrangement;
• These loans are converted into a pool of securities like debentures (called Pass Through Certificates) by SPV.
• These PTCs are then sold to individual or institutional investors, who are willing to make investments;
• The original lender may keep on getting recoveries from the original borrowers;
• He passes on these recoveries to the SPV.
• The issuer in turn passes on these recoveries to the individual/institutional investors as per the arrangement made

Delta Introduces New Energy-saving High Brightness LED Lamp at Light+Building 2008 Exhibition, Frankfurt

Delta Electronics, Inc. announced it has developed an advanced, energy-saving High Brightness 5W/9W/12W LED Lamp, and will demonstrate the new lamp at the Light+Building 2008 exhibition in Frankfurt, April 06-11. The LED lamp is 100% compatible with current sockets (E27) and is similar in appearance to compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) of the same wattage. The lamp is easily installed and readily replaces CFL and incandescent lamps. Advantages of the Delta High Brightness LED Lamp include: power-saving, excellent thermal dissipation & color rendering index (CRI), high efficiency, and long life. Of special note is the lamp's outstanding energy-efficiency, especially at lower environment temperatures. In addition to the 5W/9W/12W LED Lamp, Delta is demonstrating LED lighting for outdoor use such as street lamps and floodlights that is based on the same technology. The show signals Delta's entry into the general LED lighting market.

"In the spirit of Delta's commitment to energy-efficiency, we use superior technology in optical design, thermal modules, key components, and lighting techniques to successfully develop a high brightness LED lamp that has power-saving, excellent thermal dissipation & CRI, high efficiency, and long life. Its performance is much better than traditional lamps and CFLs," said Mr. Sean Chang, director of the CPBG Optical Component Business Unit at Delta. To bring about a better living environment, Delta continues to create exceptional LED products for solid-state lighting solutions.

Delta's LED Lamp offers excellent light efficiency, superior to CFLs and 5 times higher than incandescent lamps. The 5W LED lamp, for example, provides light efficiency equal to a 25W incandescent lamp, achieving a substantial reduction in power consumption by up to 80%. Delta's novel heat sink design also delivers 25% higher thermal dissipation than other LED lamps on the market. The lamp offers a CRI of up to 80% (sunlight is 100%) — much better than CFLs. Delta's LED lamp is particularly well-suited for low temperature environments. At 0°C, the efficiency of the LED lamp is six times higher than a CFL of the same wattage. Lamp life is greater than 35000hrs, which is six times longer than CFLs and 20 times longer than incandescent lamps. Produced under lead-free conditions, the LED Lamp is mercury-free, 100% RoHS compliant, and Delta predicts the luminous efficacy of the lamp will reach 70 lm/W by July 2008. Delta LED Lamps are ready to take the place of CFLs.

The Light+Building 2008 exhibition in Frankfurt is the world's largest lighting and building display exhibition. More than 2,100 leading global companies and 135,000 buyers will participate in this exhibition.

SendTec Announces 2007 Results

SendTec, Inc. (OTCBB:SNDN) ("SendTec"), a Multichannel, Integrated Direct Marketing Company, today announced its results of operations for the 12 months ending December 31, 2007.

SendTec announced its fiscal year 2007 net revenue reached record levels of $16.0 million, which represented $63.9 million in gross client billings. SendTec's fiscal year 2007 net revenue increased $1.1 million or $7.4% over fiscal year 2006 net revenue. Net revenue growth in 2007 was primarily driven by SendTec's Search Engine Marketing Services which generated net revenue of $5.1 million in 2007, a 173% increase over 2006. SendTec's net revenue consists of gross client billings less pass-through charges and expenses paid to media providers and third party vendors.

The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC excludes for fiscal year 2006 an approximate one month period prior to the Company's acquisition of 100% of SendTec Acquisition Corp. which occurred on February 3, 2006. As such, the results of operations for 2006 presented in the Company's Form 10-KSB reflect only eleven months of activity for SendTec Acquisition Corp. as compared to twelve months of activity for 2007.

Paul Soltoff, Chairman and CEO stated: "This past year proved to be a very challenging and interesting year for SendTec. Our continued net revenue growth can in part be attributed to the hard work of our management team and dedicated employees. Our recently completed recapitalization should provide us with the stability necessary to focus on growing our business and providing our existing clients with the service they expect. I look forward to the remainder of 2008 and beyond."
