Santa Fe Financial Corporation ("Santa Fe or the "Company") was incorporated under the name of Tri Financial Corporation in the State of Nevada on July 25, 1967 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crateo, Inc, a public company. On October 31, 1969, Crateo issued a one-for-one stock dividend of all of its shares of Tri Financial to its common shareholders. On September 17, 1970, the name of the Corporation was changed to Santa Fe Financial Corporation. Santa Fe was originally engaged in the leasing business. In 1970, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Camall Trucking, Inc., Santa Fe entered the trucking industry. Camall Trucking eventually ceased operations, sold its equipment and merged into Santa Fe effective May 31, 1990. From March 31, 1977 until July 31, 1993, Santa Fe was subject to an equity receivership established by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California in an action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Walter Wencke, et al., Civil Action No. 76-0783-GT(M)("SEC v. Wencke"). The receivership was the result of a complaint filed by the SEC charging Walter Wencke and his associates with violations of the securities laws and did not involve bankruptcy proceedings.
